Before & After Photos

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. 

The finished side of this space on the other side of this attic wall is some ones room.  Uninsulated, it was being impacted by the temperatures in the otherwise uncontrolled attic.  This would lead to that room being too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.  After applying spray foam insulation and then air sealing and insulating the rest of the attic space, there would no longer be an impact on the living areas and bedrooms caused by the attic temperatures. 

This Reston VA homeowner wanted to make their home more comfortable across all of the rooms in the home. In addition to Air Sealing, Insulation and Spray Foam across several HVAC ducts, the project also included use of material installed on the under side of the roof rafters to act as a radiant barrier.  This would help reflect radiant roof heat away from the attic in the times of year when the sun was at its strongest. 

This attic in Reston VA had a big project completed with multiple products and services utilized to help make the homes upper floor more comfortable year round.  We removed the old insulation, used Zyp Foam to air seal the attic, installed Silver Glo insulation panels to a large section, insulated the HVAX duct with spray foam and then filled the space with Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  This homeowner will be more comfortable and pay less to heat and cool their home.  

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.
