Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts Before & After Photos

In Middletown Township, NJ, a homeowner dealt with discomfort due to a poorly insulated crawl space, resulting in cold floors and drafty rooms. To address this, our team first applied spray foam to the rim joists, effectively reducing the cold floors. Next, we added SilverGlo insulation panels to the exterior foundation walls for a protective barrier against outside temperatures. Additionally, we installed TerraBlock foam insulation on the floor, topped with a durable 20 mil thick CleanSpace Encapsulation Liner. These improvements resulted in a significantly more comfortable and energy-efficient home environment.

The homeowner in Middletown Township, NJ, faced discomfort due to inadequate attic insulation, resulting in chilly winters and sweltering summers. Upon investigation, we discovered not only insufficient insulation but also poor air sealing in the attic. To address this, we removed the ineffective fiberglass insulation and applied ZypFoam sealant for proper air sealing. Additionally, we installed wooden retaining walls to ensure the blown-in TruSoft cellulose insulation achieved an R-value of R-60. With these improvements, the attic is now adequately insulated, significantly enhancing the comfort and energy efficiency of the home.

In Brick, NJ, a homeowner was struggling with discomfort in their home and sought a solution to improve both comfort and attic storage. They wanted a clean, organized attic space free from dust and the risk of deterioration for stored items. Our solution was to install a SuperDeck system, which provides both proper insulation and functional storage. We began by adding 4 inches of SilverGlo insulation boards to the attic floor and sealing the space to maximize energy efficiency. Next, we installed wooden decking over the SilverGlo, creating a durable, insulated storage platform. To further enhance the home's efficiency, we sealed the ducts and applied TruSoft cellulose insulation in non-decked areas. The result is a more comfortable, energy-efficient home with a properly insulated and practical attic storage solution.

This attic kneewall was allowing large amounts of air to pour into the home from this garage attic. The thin yellow fiberglass hanging from the wall is not air sealing the inside of the home or providing an effective insulation barrier. Sheathing the wall with 2" polyisocyanurate reflective foam board will both air seal and create a proper insulation barrier between the garage and the house by covering the fiberglass on the wall, allowing the fiberglass to now function like the manufacturer intended. Cellulose insulation also pictured on the attic flat to insulate the attic flat properly.

This customer's home in Brick, NJ wasn't keeping them comfortable during this hot summer. It was due to the lack of insulation in their attic that was letting a large amount of conditioned air escape the inside of the home. Not air sealing your attic can cost you and your family money in energy, and can cost you your comfort in your own home. Upping the value of this customer's insulation to R-60(resistance to heat flow) maximizes the efficiency of the insulation and will keep air from leaking out through the top of the house.
