Job Stories

We recently inspected a stunning home in Middletown Township, NJ, where the homeowner faced draft issues on their second floor and frequent freezing of pipes in one of the bathrooms. The area highlighted in blue shows a cantilever, which is often under-insulated, leading to drafts and the potential for pipes to freeze during colder seasons. Our team specializes in effective insulation and offers a range of tailored solutions. This not only enhances second-floor comfort but also boosts overall energy efficiency. By properly insulating both the cantilever and pipes, we successfully prevented future freezing issues.

Our team was inspecting a homeowner’s attic in Brick, NJ when we saw the bathrooms duct just lying on the floor. When a bathroom exhaust fan is not correctly connected moisture will ventilate into the attic. Moisture that is being vented into the attic will condense into water. This moisture build up in the attic can cause mold and dry rot your roof. We simply connected the bathroom exhaust fan to a newly insulated duct and attached the other end through the roof to the proper vented hood. This bathroom fan is now properly ventilated!

We're assessing a homeowner's partial cathedral ceiling in Eatontown, NJ, aiming to boost comfort and energy efficiency. Currently, the exposed fiberglass insulation falls short. Our plan involves installing SilverGlo rigid foam boards on the interior walls of the attic to prevent air leakage. We'll also dense pack with TruSoft cellulose insulation into the roof rafter bays, seal any remaining gaps with spray foam, and blow in TruSoft insulation into the attic. These steps promise a substantial improvement in both comfort and energy efficiency.

During a recent free home inspection in Eatontown, NJ, we found an attic that was supposed to be air-sealed but wasn't, a common issue with other contractors' shoddy work. It’s frustrating to pay for incomplete work that leads to higher energy bills and discomfort. At our company, we never cut corners. We thoroughly inspect before and after our work to ensure it’s done right. Stop settling for less—call us to get the job done correctly. We insulate, air seal, fix leaky ducts, and more to enhance both comfort and energy efficiency in homes. We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!

This Modern Modular Cape Cod house in Manasquan, NJ, had uncomfortable rooms during the summers and winters.  On the 2nd floor an overhang over the front porch created the room to overheat during the summers and become too cold in the winters.  After inspecting the attic and kneewall spaces we found the Modular Cape Cod house wasn’t air sealed and insulated properly. This can be a common flaw with Modular Cape Cod Homes because of their prebuilt construction or modularity.  What tend to happen is the seals and gaps of the Cape Cod house never get properly fitted together which creates gaps and air leaks from soffits into poorly insulated kneewall spaces. To eliminate hot rooms in the summer and cold drafty rooms in the winter, we installed our SilverGlo foam insulation panels over the existing expanding spray foam that’s on the bottom of the rafters in the kneewall spaces.  We also install SilverGlo foam insulation boards to the ceiling joist bays and use Orange ZypFoam to air seal the SilverGlo foam insulation.

When our crew inspected this Modern Modular Cape Cod house in Manasquan, NJ, we found the homeowners attic ducts were leaking from the seams.  In addition to leaking ducts, we discovered the homeowners exposed ducts were radiating excessive amounts of heat from the attic. This caused tremendous amount of energy to be wasted during the summers and winters.  Just think about what happens in the winter, blowing heated air through uninsulated ducts located in a frigid attic.  In the summer, you're blowing chilled air through the same uninsulated ductwork that's been heated to about 120 degrees or higher. To solve the ducts leaky seams our team used Orange ZypFoam to eliminate all air from seeping out of the existing ductwork.  By encapsulating the existing duct work with our SilverGlo foam insulation boards we can reduce the ducts from radiating unwanted heat throughout the house.  To encapsulate the ducts with our SilverGlo foam insulation boards, we frame out the ductwork and install each panel or board over the ductworks outer surfaces.  Finally using the Orange ZypFoam we can seal the seams of the SilverGlo to eliminate any unwanted airflow and/or excessive heat/cold.

Modern Modular Homes are not created equally.  When inspecting this Modern Modular House in Manasquan, NJ, we found poorly placed insulation throughout the home.  By further inspecting, we found discolored fiberglass insulation.  This is a clear indication that air is circulating through the fiberglass insulation by the open Soffits, cavities, and gaps between the walls and ceilings. With Modern Modular Homes some open Soffits, cavities and gaps are left unsealed by the manufacturer.  Our team was able to diagnose this issue and eliminate the air from seeping through the fiberglass insulation. We followed the dirty fiberglass insulation to discover where the gaps and cavities were located.  We simply found the seams and sealed all open seams with our Orange ZypFoam to fully eliminate any air leakage from theses soffits.  Our crew did not have to remove the fiberglass insulation as the insulation was up to code.  The homeowner’s results are the lowering heating and cooling costs.

We are working in a homeowner’s crawl space at Manasquan, NJ and found it to be a mess. Our customer’s crawl space is lacking the proper insulation and has an exposed dirt floor. This particular crawl space had very little room to work in but our crew always finds a way to accomplish each project. Our team spray foamed the rim joist to prevent unwanted air from entering the house. With the exposed foundational walls, we fastened our SilverGlo foam insulation panels to help insulate the crawl space. Next we spiked down our TerraBlock foam insulation mats to the ground to help insulate the floors. The heavy duty 20 mil thick CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation liners is installed across the floor with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. Finally we use our ZypFoam to seal the seams of the SilverGlo and of the CleanSpace liner.

In Manasquan, NJ, a homeowner experienced discomfort and energy loss due to insufficient insulation in the exterior walls. Many older homes lack proper insulation, using porous fiberglass that allows air flow, compromising effectiveness. To address this, we enhance insulation by removing the siding, drilling holes in between the cavity walls, and injecting TruSoft cellulose insulation through a dense-packing technique. We then seal the holes, reinstall the siding, significantly reducing air leakage for improved comfort and energy efficiency.

While inspecting a homeowner's attic in Manasquan, NJ, we discovered inadequate insulation and a lack of attic baffles for proper ventilation, and the owner wanted to use the attic for storage. To address these issues, we encapsulated the supply ducts with SilverGlo boards to reflect heat, installed attic baffles between the roof rafters for better ventilation, and laid four-inch SilverGlo boards on the attic floor, covering them with plywood or wooden planks for insulation and storage space. Finally, we built wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation we blew in, achieving an R-60 value. The result is a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
