Before & After Photos

Poorly insulated knee wall spaces leave homeowners experiencing cold, drafty rooms in the winter and hot rooms they can never seem to cool down in the summer. Often, the only protection between a knee wall space and the living space is fiberglass insulation in the knee wall. However, it's ineffective because it's almost never closed in on all sides, provides no air sealing, and when knee wall spaces are home to ductwork, it doesn't help protect the ductwork from extreme temperatures. 

In these cases, we insulate the attic rafters and gable ends of the knee wall space with closed-cell insulation.  This helps to reduce the extreme conditions in the knee wall space that impact the living space making it uncomfortable by reducing the conditioned air loss from the living space to the unconditioned attic knee wall space and the heat transfer from the attic space into the living space. 

This Surry, VA homeowner reached out to us because they wanted to add insulation to their attic and help make the rooms below more comfortable. We added blown-in cellulose insulation and built a dam around the storage decking to prevent the insulation from falling in. 

This Lancaster, VA homeowner has several improvements happening in their crawl space. Installing a new CleanSpace Vapor Barrier (aka moisture barrier or crawl space liner) is just one piece of that, but a very importiant one. 

This 7 ply, poly string-reinforced vapor barrier is combined with a 4-inch wide liner tape that seals the crawl space off from the earth's moisture. The product is durable enough to withstand servicepersons crawling around in your crawl space without worry of it becoming detached or torn.

This homeowner contacted us about high energy bills and uneven temperatures in their home. We addressed their concerns by air sealing an insulating the attic. Foam insulation was used to seal top plates and electrical and plumbing penetrations to reduce the amount of air escaping from the conditioned living space into the attic. Next, a fresh blanket of blown-in cellulose insulation was installed on the attic floor.  

This client is turning a horse trailer into a tiny home and wanted to insulate the ceiling with closed cell spray foam. We installed an R-12 of insulation on the roof of this trailer.
