Before & After Photos

This Ashburn VA home had a need for a full attic insulation project.  The rooms in the home below the attic were uncomfortable, the attic was not air sealed and the existing insulation in the attic was not performing as needed.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jon recommended removal of the old insulation so that our production team could air seal the attic floor and then blow in Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  Additionally Jon added the production and building of an attic landing where the access hatch to the attic was.  This would allow for people to access the attic and stand on the platform with a barrier between the insulation.  A hatch cover was installed with a zipper seal to keep conditioned air from escaping the rooms in the living areas below the attic.   Our production team constructed this and helped to create a more comfortable home and more accessible attic for the home owners.  

This Ashburn VA home was uncomfortable to the homeowners throughout different times of year.  They called us to see if we could help find a solution, which included a full attic project made up of air sealing, can light covers, insulation and having the chimney pipe wrapped and insulated with rock wool and spray foam.  

This Ashburn VA home was the recipient of a whole attic systems project.  Removal of old insulation, air sealing using Zyp Foam, foam paneling used to cover several HVAC exchange boxes and Tru Soft cellulose insulation blown in to to cover it all.  This will all help to reduce the energy cost it takes to heat and cool the home year round and make the home more comfortable for the owners. pictured here BEFORE is the attic with its original insulation and no air sealing below.  The AFTER photo shows the old insulation removed and Zyp Foam having been used to seal all of the gaps and cracks where conditioned air had been able to leak from the home below.  

This Ashburn VA home had a room over its garage that shared walls with a partial section of the attic.  The homeowners called us to try and help make that room and other areas of the home more comfortable.  Our team air sealed the space with Zyp Foam before blowing in more Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  There was a small wall section of the attic with framing that created blocks of open space.  Our team used Spray Foam to insulate those blocks and finish the project.  

Insulation alone will not solve most attic performance problems.  This Sterling VA attic was allowing conditioned air from the rooms below to escape and make the home uncomfortable.  As a result the HVAC system had to run more often than it should which lead to high energy bills.  After removing the old insulation, the small cracks, gaps and seams in the ceiling floor were exposed and able to be sealed with Zyp Foam.  Once air sealed, the rest of the attic was filled with blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation.
