Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Endicott, NY had heard about the work we do with the NYSERDA program and wanted to see what they may qualify for in making their home more energy efficient and potentially cut down on their utility bills. We began with our Home Comfort Evaluation to see what all was happening in the home and what existed in the home to make it less energy efficient. Our Home Comfort Specialist determined there was work needed to help the home be more comfortable in the attic and basement. We did some air sealing in the attic, sealing around the sill plates, wire penetrations, and light fixtures before dense packing the attic slopes with cellulose insulation, then doing an open blow of 18 inches of our cellulose insulation to lessen the heat escaping from the attic in winter. 

We then turned our focus to the basement. This home has a rock foundation, and over time gaps and cracks have formed along the wall allowing air to be drawn in from the outside which travels throughout the home making the home colder. For this home, we sprayed 2 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam into the open rim joists to seal them, then sprayed 2 inches of our spray foam along the foundation walls creating a seal. We finished off by spraying our fire proofing paint on the spray foam, and now the home is much more comfortable and energy efficient than before.

This homeowner in Endicott wanted to make some improvements to the basement walls to help increase the efficiency of the home. 

The crew sprayed 2 inches of our closed cell spray foam to the foundation walls, then sprayed our fire proof paint over it. We sealed a door as well and finished off this job leaving a much more energy efficient home. 

This home in Endicott, NY was seeking help for their home. It was uncomfortable and the utility usage was higher than they'd like. With the help of the NYSERDA Empower program, the homeowners qualified to have insulation put into the home. 

We removed the existing fiberglass from the attic, properly air sealed, and then did an open blow of 14 inches of Cellulose insulation. The crew also air sealed the attic hatch, and wrapped up the chimney properly to stop airflow. We also did 2 inches of closed-cell spray foam in the rim joist of the home.

This Endicott, NY homeowner wanted to improve the comfort of the home for himself and his daughter. The upstairs of the home was a great concern, as the bedrooms always felt colder than the downstairs. Our Home Comfort Evaluation showed that the walls of the home lacked insulation and that the open attic space was a huge cause for heat loss as well. 

We air sealed the attic - sealing wire penetrations, top plates, and light fixtures before wrapping the chimney with our Rockwool insulation so we could safely do an open blow of 14" of our cellulose insulation into the attic. We also dense-packed the exterior walls with cellulose insulation by carefully removing the siding from the home, drilling holes just slightly bigger than our hoses to fit, and packing the wall cavities with cellulose insulation. We then sealed the holes, plugged them with a cedar wood plug, and carefully replaced the siding. 

As a result, this home is much more comfortable and energy-efficient!

The owner of this Endicott, NY home uses his garage as a workshop.  It was too cold to work there in the winter.

We sprayed 2 inches of closed-cell foam on the garage's interior walls and 3 inches on the floor deck of the garage ceiling, improving the comfort level of his shop.  The homeowner was also very happy with how the foam looked and was pleased that he didn't have to sheetrock the area.
