Before & After Photos

Builder grade material is often not what is needed to deliver top level home performance.  Builder grade is what most home builders use because it "meets code" and will pass the test of "is this home livable?"   We offer solutions to improve home performance and provide a comfort and quality that is leaps and bounds above what "code" will deliver.  This attic wall was found to be doing a poor job of keeping outside temperatures from impacting the attic which was also the case with the walls of the rooms in the home below.  We installed Silver Glo insulation panels to the wall and then air sealed them with Zyp Foam to create an air seal.  

One of the many steps involved in helping to make this Leesburg VA home more comfortable was adding a Rock Wool wrap to insulate and protect the chimney.  Having been air sealed at the base of the chimney and then having the wrap extend above the top layer of insulation in the attic helps keep heated air passing through the chimney from escaping into the attic and making it too hot.  Rock Wool is a fire safe material that both insulates and protects.  

This attic in Leesburg Virginia was upgraded with a radiant barrier to help keep temperatures down and energy cost lower than they had been.  Applying the radiant barrier throughout the attic will help to keep external heat from penetrating into the attic. 

This Leesburg VA home was suffering from poor insulation that failed to provide adequate coverage. This was causing discomfort to the homeowner by leaving rooms too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. When our sales professional Eric visited the home, he provided a full home evaluation and found a variety of solutions for the homeowner to choose from. The homeowner ended up deciding they wanted to have all of the old insulation removed and install new high-quality TruSoft cellulose insulation.   TruSoft offers better coverage for a more even insulation job than the previous insulation and will last longer with less chance of rodents in the space due to being coated with a safe, animal deterrent.  

Part of this Leesburg VA attic project included building a new service deck to allow access to the HVAC unit in the attic. This will help to keep the insulation contained and let the service technician freely walk to and from the HVAC unit.
