Before & After Photos

The attic hatch is a huge space that can let a lot of air escape in and out. If you're experiencing uncomfortable rooms and feel like your wasting money on your heating/cooling bills (like this client was), this could reason behind it. It has to be properly treated to stop air leakage!

CHS treated the hatch by installing an attic tent cover (which is the silver zip-up door you see in the picture on the right). We apply this to the opening and then seal along the sides. This is a great step towards achieving energy efficiency and comfort in the home. 

This home in Hughesville, Maryland suffered from extremely cold floors. The homeowner would try to blast the heat, but cold air always managed to find its way in. She finally go into contact with a professional to help fix her problem...Complete Home Solutions. 

We performed an energy audit and found that the crawl space needed to be air sealed. This not  only prevents cold air from escaping into the house, but it also stops moisture from evaporating into the house. We accomplish this by installing a vapor barrier over top of the dirt floor and sealing it to the walls with caulk. This homeowner no longer has to blast her heat to be comfortable in her home. 

This homeowner in Severna Park, Maryland could not understand why her house was so cold. She knew that she had insulation in her attic, and yet she could never seem to retain heat in her house. She had Complete Home Solutions come take a look at her house to figure it out.

We found that her attic did have insulation, but there wasn't enough, it had spots that were too old, and there was no air sealing underneath. We fixed those problems by removing the spots of insulation that were no good, air sealing the attic base, and installing blown-in cellulose insulation. Now this homeowner can enjoy a warm home.  

As home comfort experts, we like to explain the stack effect to our customers. The basic gist of it is that warm air escapes through the top of your house and cold air comes in through the bottom. In preparation for this coming winter, the homeowner wanted to have their basement treated. 

One of the main components that goes into treating a basement is air sealing the rim joists. For this homeowner, we applied SilverGlo Polysio Foam Board as a base layer. We then applied a layer of spray foam insulation over the foam board. The combination worked terrifically to protect this home from cold drafts in the winter. 

Old and inefficient insulation in the attic is the perfect set up for a cold and uncomfortable winter (as well as a hot and uncomfortable summer). This client called Complete Home Solutions to provide her with solutions on how to stay comfortable this coming winter. 

Our home comfort specialist provided a few solutions for this homeowner's attic. Some of the things we did included air sealing the floor, installing SilverGlo foam board on the knee wall, spray foaming the sky light tunnel, and blowing in cellulose insulation. She will be ready for the cold, winter months now!
