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

When inspecting the attic in Brick Township, NJ, we discovered insufficient insulation. The existing insulation proved ineffective, failing to provide any meaningful insulation for the house. This left the homeowner with discomfort and resulted in higher energy bills. Our team replaced the old insulation, sealed the attic floors to prevent air leaks, and installed wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation we blew in. These measures aim to enhance the home's energy efficiency and comfort.

In Brick Township, NJ, a homeowner faced inadequate insulation in their attic kneewalls, leading to discomfort throughout the year. Exposed fiberglass batts failed to seal out air, leaving the upper and lower levels chilly in winter and overheated in summer. To address this issue, we implemented a solution by installing SilverGlo rigid foam boards along the rafters, blocking the ceiling joists with SilverGlo, and sealing the kneewall with spray foam. The result? Consistent warmth in winter, cooler rooms in summer, reduced drafts, and improved energy efficiency for a more comfortable home overall.

In Brick, NJ, a homeowner struggled with rooms that were too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, leading to discomfort and higher energy bills. They also needed better insulation to protect their attic storage from temperature fluctuations. We solved these problems by installing SilverGlo insulation boards on the underside of the roof deck. Previously, outside air entered through the soffits, circulated in the attic, and seeped back into the home, making it difficult to maintain comfort and use the attic for storage. The SilverGlo installation effectively insulated the attic and redirected airflow, ensuring it vents outward rather than into the home. With the SuperAttic system in place, the home is now energy-efficient, comfortable year-round, and features a well-insulated attic perfect for storage.

This homeowner in Brick, NJ, struggled with discomfort due to cold drafts, stuffy rooms, and soaring energy bills, prompting them to seek our assistance. During our free home inspection, we discovered that their attic was inadequately insulated with deteriorating fiberglass insulation, which contributed to their issues. Upon pulling back the insulation, we identified improper air sealing and blocked soffit vents exacerbated by the fiberglass. To fix this, we air-sealed the floors, sealed leaky ducts, properly installed baffle vents, and applied TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an optimal R-60 value. These improvements significantly enhanced both comfort and energy efficiency in their home.

This home in Brick, NJ had an attic pull-down staircase that was allowing conditioned air to leak into the attic, wasting energy, increasing utility bills, and causing uneven temperatures throughout the house. The attic was not properly air sealed, which allowed even more heated and cooled air to escape. To fix the issue, we properly air sealed and insulated the attic, sealed all seams of the framed attic entrance, and installed weather stripping to create a tight barrier. We also added wooden retaining walls to maintain open, usable flooring space. Finally, we installed a David Lewis Hatch Cover over the attic entrance to further prevent air leakage. The result is a more comfortable home with reduced energy loss and lower energy costs.
