Before & After Photos

This Reston, VA attic had low-quality insulation that was making the home too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. We went out to the home and had our sales professional complete a full inspection. He determined that the best solution would be to tear out and dispose of the old insulation, add ZypFoam to air seal the freshly cleared attic floor, and then add new TruSoft cellulose insulation to keep the home comfortable year-round.

This Reston VA home had an attic that was not properly insulated and causing comfort issues in the home.  A lack of an air seal for the attic was allowing conditioned air from the rooms in the home to leak away.  Walls in the attic that were covered with traditional bat insulation were not holding temperature and had cracks where more air was escaping.  Our production team removed the existing insulation from the attic, used Zyp Foam to air seal all of the gaps and cracks where air had been able to escape and then used Spray Foam to insulate and seal the walls.  Tru Soft cellulose insulation was then blown in to cover the rest of the attic floor/surface.  

This attic got all new insulation and air sealing done.  We also rearranged the HVAC ducts that were previously laying all over the attic floor so that they are now under the insulation.    Here is the attic hatch area before and after the work was completed.  

This Great Falls VA home had an addition built that was less comfortable than the rest of the rooms in the house.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl visited the home and performed a full inspection of the space to see how we could help improves things for the homeowner.  Carl determined that the existing insulation in the attic space above was insufficient and that there was a lack of an air seal which was allowing conditioned air to escape.  Our production team removed the old insulation, air sealed the space with Zyp Foam and then installed Tru Soft blown cellulose insulation.  

There are many steps to any attic project that we work on.  More than just "before" and "after", there is also in "between" and "in progress".  This Oakton VA home had rooms that were not always comfortable year round.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Greg went out to visit the homeowners and perform a no cost home inspection after they called us about their rooms being too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.  In addition to several other services, this client decided to have their old attic insulation removed so that we could air seal the cracks, gaps and openings in the attic that were allowing conditioned air to escape the rooms below, before we would then blow in Tru Soft cellulose insulation to cover the attic surface and properly insulate the space.    Here is what the attic looked like to start and what it looked like after we removed the old insulation and prepared to air seal.
