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

These customers floors were too cold. Their rim joist (the floor's framing system) was barely protected from air passing through the gaps between the wood because there was just a thin piece of fiberglass stuck up there. This left the basement and the floors above it to always feel colder than the rest of the house. Dr. Energy Saver has a simple solution to this prevelant issue, we spray over 2" of closed cellspray foam over the joist to ensure that no air can move between the boards.

A homeowner in Avon By The Sea, NJ had an unfinished basement. At first we were called by the owner because their house had uncomfortable rooms. That was a separate issue involving a poorly insulated attic. Our team solved that issue but our customer was also expressing cold floors and a cold basement.

After inspecting the attic we inspected the owner’s basement. The customer requested us to come back and insulate the basement sometime in the near future. Once our customer was ready to work on the basement we came back and did our magic.

Our team came back to properly insulate the basement using our Basement to Beautiful Insulation Panels. We first spray foamed the rim joists and then fastened the Basement to Beautiful Insulation Panels to the concrete walls. Once the basement is properly insulated the owner can now turned their basement into a play room for their kids. Remember we will insulate the basement but, the customer has to now complete the basement on their own with sheetrock or drywall.

This very small attic in Bradley Beach, NJ has unfortunately been neglected, lacking proper insulation and air sealing. The attic insulation is practically non-existent, leaving the homeowner uncomfortably hot in summers and cold in winters. First things first, we'll start by air sealing the attic using ZypFoam sealant. Once the attic is properly sealed, we'll proceed to install baffle vents to ensure proper ventilation. Finally, we'll construct wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation that we'll blow in to achieve an R-60 rating. With these improvements, the homeowner will enjoy a well-insulated and properly air-sealed attic, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency throughout their home.

This homeowner in Allenhurst, NJ had an attic that was leaking air creating hot rooms in the summer and cold rooms in the winter. We accessed the attic and found fiberglass insulation that was blown-in. Blown-in fiberglass insulation is very porous especially when it is open and exposed. After pulling up the fiberglass insulation we found the attic was not air sealed.

Our team came in and removed the old blown-in fiberglass insulation and began to air seal the attic with orange ZypFoam sealant. We also fixed the ventilation baffles as some were clogged and falling off. Once air sealed and properly ventilated we blew-in TruSoft cellulose insulation. This homeowner now has a properly insulated attic and a more comfortable and energy efficient home.

This customer's front wall was getting hit with direct wind because his home was facing a lake in Ocean Grove, NJ. It was leaving his home uncomfortable because they could feel a draft while sitting in their living room right inside the wall. It was also across from a busy main street in Asbury, so it sometimes got kind of loud in the house from across the street. Dense packing the wall will both seal and insulate the wall, stopping any draft or other effects from the harsh winds. It will also reduce the noise the customers are dealing with from across the street from the shops and leave them feeling more comfortable in their home.

Densely packing cellulose inside the wall from outside of the home is simple and not destructive. You can easily remove a row of siding and drill a hole in the wood below to access the cavities. Then, after you are done you can just plug the hole and reinstall the siding without a problem.
