Insulation Services Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ, had a small little attic that was poorly insulated. With inadequate insulation this owner was dealing with cold and drafty rooms in the winter and stuffy and hot rooms in the summer. After inspecting the attic we also noticed the attic was not properly air sealed. We air sealed the attic floors, sealed any leaky ducts, used wooden retaining walls and sealed the wooden decking while blowing-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 value. The homeowner now has a properly insulated attic, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

These before pictures show a combustion appliance chimney flue completely disconnected in Highlands, NJ. We have dangerous gases venting into the attic and living space below! Also we can see charred disintegrated sheetrock from above and below.

This is a major health, safety and fire issue!!

Luckily our expert crew discovered this issue during a full home air sealing and insulation project. The crew repaired the flue, restoring the proper venting of combustion gases.

These after pictures show the completed repair from below and above.

In Highlands, NJ, many crawl spaces, like this one, need our expertise. Poor insulation causes cold floors in winter and drafty rooms, while in summer, hot, humid air enters through the stack effect, leading to mold, dry rot, and other problems. We specialize in insulating neglected crawl spaces to ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency. Our solutions include installing SilverGlo foam boards on walls, spray foaming exposed rim joists, and encapsulating dirt floors with CleanSpace liner. These measures greatly enhance homeowner comfort and efficiency.
