Before & After Photos

Leaky ducts and an under-insulated attic in Red Bank, NJ, were causing year-round discomfort, higher energy bills, and poor indoor air quality for this homeowner. Conditioned air was escaping through the supply ducts, while dirty attic air was being drawn into the return ducts. To resolve these issues, we encapsulated the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards sealed with ZypFoam, air-sealed the attic floor, and added R-60 cellulose insulation for maximum comfort and energy savings. We also installed wooden retaining walls and a catwalk to provide easy access to the mechanicals.

Looking at this attic in Red Bank, NJ, the before picture clearly highlights the need for our expertise. The homeowner required our assistance in properly insulating the attic, as they were struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures during both hot summers and cold winters. Given the leaking ducts, insufficient insulation, and lack of air sealing in the attic, it's no surprise the homeowner was experiencing such discomfort. Fortunately, as experts in our field, we addressed the issues by fixing the duct leaks, air sealing the attic, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation up to the optimal R-value of R-60. These improvements ensure that the homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

This attic in Red Bank, NJ, suffered from poor insulation, leaky ducts, and a lack of storage, leading to discomfort and high energy bills. To resolve these issues, we installed a SuperDeck system with 4-inch foam boards on the attic floor, topped with wooden decking for both insulation and storage. The ductwork was encapsulated with 2-inch foam boards, all gaps were sealed to eliminate air leaks, and blown-in cellulose insulation was added to the remaining attic space. To further improve efficiency, a David Lewis Hatch cover was installed to seal the attic entrance. The result is a well-insulated, functional attic that boosts comfort and lowers energy costs.

A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ, preparing to move into their new home, sought to enhance comfort, improve energy efficiency, and ensure the house was well-sealed and operating at its best. The ideal solution was to create a SuperAttic—a conditioned attic space with insulation at the roofline to prevent air leaks, ensure proper roof ventilation, and utilize high R-value materials like rigid foam or spray foam to minimize heat transfer and reduce energy costs. By minimizing temperature fluctuations and drafts, the SuperAttic not only boosts indoor comfort but also protects attic systems, enhancing their performance and longevity. This innovative approach offers homeowners increased storage options along with a smart, long-term solution for energy savings and consistent year-round comfort.

A homeowner in Fair Haven, NJ, faced issues with a crawl space that had inadequate insulation. The porous brick foundation walls and exposed rim joists allowed air to infiltrate both the crawl space and the house. Additionally, moisture from the dirt floor contributed to the home's discomfort. To resolve these issues, we insulated the foundation walls with SilverGlo insulation boards, spray-foamed the rim joists, and encapsulated the dirt floor with a vapor barrier to prevent gases and moisture from rising. These enhancements have significantly improved the home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
