Insulation Services Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Matawan, NJ wanted to improve comfort, lower their energy bills, and gain usable attic storage. The small attic had exposed fiberglass insulation that offered little to no thermal protection. We installed a SuperDeck system to create both proper storage space and effective insulation in the attic. This included placing 4-inch SilverGlo foam boards on the attic floor, sealing all gaps, and adding retaining walls to separate the insulated areas. Plywood was placed over the foam to create a sturdy storage platform, with additional air sealing for maximum efficiency. TruSoft cellulose insulation was then blown in to the optimal R-60 level around the storage area. The result: a properly insulated attic with a dedicated storage space that helps protect stored items while improving the home’s comfort and lowering the owner’s energy bills.

A homeowner in Matawan, NJ was experiencing uncomfortable temperature swings—too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Our evaluation revealed an attic that was poorly insulated, improperly ventilated, and not air sealed. These issues made the existing storage space ineffective and put stored items at risk of deterioration. To solve this, we built a SuperDeck system by installing 4-inch-thick rigid foam boards with a radiant barrier over the attic floor. Next we then air sealed the space and added wood decking on top to create durable, insulated storage. We also installed retaining walls, sealed the remaining decking, added vent baffles to ensure proper airflow, and blew TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the rest of the attic. These upgrades improved comfort year-round, reduced energy bills, and created a healthier home and storage environment.

Before:

This Kneewall Space in Marlboro, NJ, has old fiberglass insulation that’s trapped between the plastic liner and sheetrock.  The plastic liner has created moisture or condensation that has formed mildew and mold on the sheetrock.  We also have cold air that enters the attic kneewall space through leaky seams and fascia/soffit assemblies or through vents.

After:

Our crew removed all the old fiberglass insulation and plastic liners.  We also sprayed the molded sheetrock with our Mold-X Neutralizer.  This successfully eradicates the biofilm: the ‘lifeline’ for mold and bacteria.

Installing blocks of our SilverGlo foam insulation over the joist bay walls increases the R-value by 24% compared to regular EPS foam.  Sealing the seams with our Orange ZypFoam completes this project.  The results keeps hot or cold air in the Kneewall Space and prevents hot or cold air from seeping into the joining room.

We are in the homeowner’s attic looking at a leaky ceiling box in Marlboro, NJ. The ceiling box is anchored to the attic floor. A flexible truck connects to the end of it while the other end of the flexible trunk connects to the ducting system. Air passes through the trunk and into the ceiling box. Once air enters the ceiling box it passes through the ceiling vent into the room below. Unfortunately this ceiling box was never air sealed. Looking at the fiberglass insulation around the ceiling box we can tell air is leaking into the attic because of the dirt built up in the fiberglass. This also means dirt and fiberglass particulates are contaminating the rooms below potentially creating harmful or hazardous air to breath. Air the owner is paying for is leaking into the attic costing the owner more money to heat or cool their home. To solve this issue we use orange ZypFoam sealant and air sealed the seams to prevent air from leaking into the attic.

This homeowner now has a more comfortable and energy efficient home.

We are currently at a residence in Cliffwood, NJ, addressing the homeowner's concerns about cold floors and drafts. The basement was experiencing moisture and air leakage, affecting the overall comfort of the home. Our team took corrective action by applying spray foam to the rim joists, preventing air infiltration into the house. This straightforward solution not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to a more comfortable living environment, potentially leading to cost savings on energy bills for the homeowners.
