A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ, preparing to move into their new home, sought to enhance comfort, improve energy efficiency, and ensure the house was well-sealed and operating at its best. The ideal solution was to create a SuperAttic—a conditioned attic space with insulation at the roofline to prevent air leaks, ensure proper roof ventilation, and utilize high R-value materials like rigid foam or spray foam to minimize heat transfer and reduce energy costs. By minimizing temperature fluctuations and drafts, the SuperAttic not only boosts indoor comfort but also protects attic systems, enhancing their performance and longevity. This innovative approach offers homeowners increased storage options along with a smart, long-term solution for energy savings and consistent year-round comfort.
A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ, struggled with a cold home all winter and, after unsuccessful attempts with other contractors, contacted us. During our free inspection, we identified poor crawl space insulation as the cause. We insulated the foundation walls with foam boards, sealed gaps with air sealant, and applied spray foam to the rim joists to prevent air leaks, ensuring warmer floors and rooms. Our tailored solutions enhance each home’s comfort and energy efficiency based on its unique needs.
This is a typical attic in a 1970's age home in Neptune, NJ. The before picture shows the 2x6x16 ceiling rafters with 3" fiberglass insulation batts between rafters. The AFTER pictures shows the same area, picture taken from a storage deck, but shows approx 17" of cellulose insulation installed.
The original insulation at 3" with numerous gaps, voids and depressions was functioning at approx R-5 as rated by the Building Performance Institute. The installed cellulose functions at an effective R-60+, which is considered optimum in this climate.

A homeowner in Wall Township, NJ, was struggling with high energy bills and discomfort in their home. During our attic inspection, we discovered leaky ducts, a lack of air sealing on the attic floor, and ineffective fiberglass insulation. We removed the old fiberglass insulation; thoroughly air sealed the attic floor, encapsulated the ducts with SilverGo foam boards to prevent leaks, and installed TruSoft cellulose insulation to an optimal R-60 level. Now, the home has a well-sealed, fully insulated attic and efficient, leak-free ducts. Our upgrades will improve the homeowner's comfort, enhance indoor air quality, and increase energy efficiency to reduce their energy bills.
