Before & After Photos

This home owner call us out to see if we could help him with his cold floors. One thing we have to know when entering any home is stack effect. Warm air will rise and escape from the attic spaces and new air will enter the home from below. This air in the winter is freezing cold and in turn, make your floors very cold. To fix this we spray the rim joist with our 2-part spray foam. This seals up all the gaps and cracks so air will not be able to enter the home from the rim joist and make your floors cold. Now that this home owner got this project completed, he will not have to  worry about cold floor any longer!

This home owner in Dalton, MA called us to his home to see if we could help him with his ice damming problem. When our building science specialist got to the home he noticed a couple of this that were allowing this ice damming problem to occur. One of these problems was that the skylights were letting a lot of heat conduct through the Skylight wooden framing. This was causing some serious snow melt on the roof.

To fix this we installed our Everlast Skylight Inserts. This insert has double pane glass with a very high UV rating to protect the home. Now that Dr Energy Saver came and installed these Skylight inserts and finished up a couple of other treatments at this home, this home owner will not have to worry about ice damning ever again!

This homeowner in Dalton, MA called us to her home to see if we could help fix her extremely cold basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist was inspecting the basement, he noticed that part of the issue was the basement door. Unfortunately, this homeowner's door was old and broken down -- letting a lot of cold air in!

To fix this, we installed an insulated steel door. First, we removed the old door and framing. Then, we re-framed the doorway. After that, we hung the door, making sure everything is level and plum. 

Once this door went in, this homeowner did not have to worry about having a cold basement anymore!

This homeowner in Southington, CT called us after discovering a mold issue in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noticed that a large contributor to the mold was that there was inadequate insulation. Additionally, this homeowner had a storage deck that he used that was not insulated and hard to get insulation under. 

We were able to help this customer. We removed the old deck in the attic and replaced it with our SuperPlatform™ insulated storage deck. The SuperPlatform™ is comprised of two materials -- our SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation board as well as OSB board over the top. Once the attic floor was clear and prepared, we got to work on building the SuperPlatform™. SilverGlo™ is laid down first, creating the base of the deck. Once that is secured in place, we installed OSB over the SilverGlo™, ensuring that it was secure as well. We then installed more OSB to create a dam -- this dam reached up approximately 18" above the attic floor. This meant that when we insulated the attic with other treatments, the insulation would not get on the deck. Now, the homeowner can continue to use the attic for storage, with all of the bonuses of proper insulation! 

The owners of this home in Cheshire, MA were experiencing ice damming.  They also wanted their home to be more comfortable.  Stopping air leakage at the top of the house was a priority.  One of the solutions our team provided was to air seal all the can lights in the attic.  Can lights are holes in the ceiling which allow air to leak between the drywall and the fixture, and through the fixture itself.  Our team installed our TiteShell airtight, fireproof can light covers.  TiteShell covers are safe from the fire hazards of hot bulbs and fixtures.  After they are installed, insulation can be blown against them and over them.
