Before & After Photos

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.

This kneewall in Highlands, NJ was in poor condition for storage, causing extreme temperatures in the adjoining rooms and wood warping from humidity and constant fluctuations. Any items stored here would have quickly deteriorated. We solved the problem by installing Foamax boards under the rafters and sealing them with foam sealant. This created a conditioned space that supports storage, keeps temperatures consistent, and helps the homeowner save on energy bills.

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 kneewall in Ocean Grove, NJ was allowing conditioned air to escape into the kneewall while also pulling outside air in, contributing to uncomfortable rooms on the second floor. To address this, we installed rigid foam board along the roofline with a radiant barrier and added draft blocking at the floor level to stop outside air from infiltrating the space while keeping conditioned air where it belongs. By properly insulating and air sealing the kneewall, we’ve helped prevent both energy loss and unwanted air leakage, improving comfort throughout the home.

During our free home evaluation in Ocean Grove, NJ, we discovered that the attic had not been air sealed and was poorly insulated. These issues were causing significant air leaks and reducing the home’s comfort and efficiency. To fix this, we sealed all top plates, gaps, cracks, and plumbing and wiring penetrations with foam sealant, stopping conditioned air from escaping into the attic. Once the air sealing was complete, we installed TruSoft cellulose insulation, bringing the attic up to the recommended R-60 level. As a result, the home is now more comfortable, and the homeowner is enjoying lower energy bills.
