Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts Before & After Photos

We discovered why a homeowner in Shrewsbury, NJ, struggled with cold floors and an uncomfortable home. The vented crawl space and exposed rim joists were allowing cold air to infiltrate, creating chilly floors and uneven temperatures in the rooms above. This setup also risked moisture and humidity buildup, potentially leading to mold growth. Although the crawl space had a proper vapor barrier, the vents remained unblocked, and the rim joists were unprotected. To fix this, we installed foam blocks to cover the vents and insulated the rim joists, sealing everything with foam sealant. Finally, we used spray foam to close any remaining gaps letting in outside air. Now, the homeowner enjoys a warmer, more energy-efficient home.

During a basement inspection in Manasquan, NJ, we found poorly insulated rim joists allowing outside air to seep in. This led to cold floors, drafty rooms, a chilly basement, potential summer condensation, and higher energy bills. Our solution is to apply spray foam to the rim joists and sill plate, sealing air leaks and insulating critical areas to prevent outdoor air infiltration. This ensures a properly insulated home that stays more comfortable and energy efficient year-round.

In Atlantic Highlands, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with uneven room temperatures and high energy bills. During our free home evaluation, we discovered the attic was poorly insulated and lacked proper air sealing, allowing conditioned air to escape. We replaced ineffective fiberglass insulation along the attic stairway walls with foam board to stop air leaks, added baffle vents for proper airflow, air sealed the attic and will complete the job with R-60 cellulose insulation, improving comfort and lowering energy costs.

A homeowner in Seaside Heights, NJ, was referred to us by a satisfied customer. Curious about their neighbor's consistently warm home and low energy bills, the homeowner approached us. They had been experiencing discomfort during winters and summers, along with high energy costs. Following our complimentary home evaluation, we discussed tailored solutions with the homeowner. Our team thoroughly air-sealed their small attic, fixed leaky ducts and connections, installed baffle vents to improve ventilation, and applied TruSoft cellulose insulation up to an optimal R-60 level. As a result, the home now enjoys enhanced comfort year-round, with significantly reduced energy expenses.

At the Church on the Hill in Ocean Township, NJ, we showcased our proficiency in applying building science. We removed the original and contaminated fiberglass insulation in the upper rooms' drop-down ceilings. Following this, we meticulously fitted protective liners to the wood frames before introducing TruSoft cellulose insulation through a blow-in process. This upgrade not only enhances insulation but also offers fire resistance and efficient moisture management without compromising its insulating ability. It underscores our dedication to implementing improved building solutions for larger projects.
