Insulation Services Before & After Photos

In Hazlet, NJ, a homeowner told us their home was uncomfortable and their energy bills were too high. We conducted a free home evaluation and found inadequate insulation, along with conditioned air leaking into the attic because of inadequate air sealing. To fix this, we air sealed the attic and built retaining walls to properly install TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 level. As a result, the homeowner now enjoys improved comfort and greater energy efficiency leading to real savings on their energy bills.

Here in Holmdel, NJ, we removed the old fiberglass insulation because fiberglass does not stop the air flow, and does next to nothing to air seal and insulate. The floor of the upper level, the ceiling of the lower level and kneewall are all cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Installing our SilverGlo foam insulation onto the attic walls increases the R-value by 24% compared to regular EPS foam. Our SilverGlo also acts as a radiant barrier on both sides to reflect heat out of the summer and house heat back in during the winter. We also sealed the seams of our SilverGlo foam insulation with orange ZypFoam sealant to ensure the best protection from hot or cold air and unwanted moisture.

The before image shows old fiberglass insulation and unwanted air being ventilated through the insulation by leaving dirt or dust particles onto the insulation. The older fiberglass insulation does nothing to stop cold and hot air from penetrating the rooms below or next to the kneewall.

The after image shows the completed SilverGlo foam insulation installed onto the kneewall. The image is still in the process of installing the Blown-in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. We can also see we used the orange ZypFoam sealant to seal the seams.

Our customer in Holmdel, NJ contacted us to help solve comfort issues in their hot home. The homeowner purchased their home during the cooler months and realized that the air conditioning did not adequately cool the home in the summer months. The first thing they did was upgrade their AC system to newer high efficiency equipment (with a local HVAC contractor). That did not make any difference!

Upon our evaluation we discovered dilapidated insulation with little to no insulating value as well as an original air duct system in the attic with significant air leaks, crushed ducts and a poor insulation.

Before pictures show old ineffective fiberglass, ductwork and an attic in overall poor shape. The after pictures show a fully mastic sealed and encapsulated duct system, full access to HVAC and R-60 TruSoft cellulose insulation. These upgrades design to last the life of the home.

In Holmdel, NJ, this homeowner was dealing with poor insulation and significant air leakage in the attic. Our team started by removing the existing insulation and thoroughly air sealing the space to stop energy loss at the source. Once properly sealed, we installed blown-in cellulose insulation to an optimal R-60 level. With these improvements, the home is now more comfortable, healthier, and better protected against rising energy costs.

A homeowner in Holmdel, NJ was struggling with high energy bills and uncomfortable rooms due to leaky ducts can lights, and poor insulation. Our team carefully sealed cracks, gaps, top plates, and pipe and wire penetrations throughout the attic. We then encapsulated the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards, which feature a radiant barrier to reflect the roof’s heat and prevent warm air from entering the ducts. After sealing the remaining duct connections with foam sealant, we built wooden retaining walls to create a safe catwalk for mechanical access. Finally, we added TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach an optimal R-60 level. The result: lower energy bills, improved comfort, and a properly insulated home.
