Transforming a Red Bank, NJ Attic for a More Comfortable and Energy-Efficient Home

Looking at this attic in Red Bank, NJ, the before picture clearly highlights the need for our expertise. The homeowner required our assistance in properly insulating the attic, as they were struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures during both hot summers and cold winters. Given the leaking ducts, insufficient insulation, and lack of air sealing in the attic, it's no surprise the homeowner was experiencing such discomfort. Fortunately, as experts in our field, we addressed the issues by fixing the duct leaks, air sealing the attic, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation up to the optimal R-value of R-60. These improvements ensure that the homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

Leaky Attic Transformed into a SuperDeck in Red Bank, NJ

This attic in Red Bank, NJ, suffered from poor insulation, leaky ducts, and a lack of storage, leading to discomfort and high energy bills. To resolve these issues, we installed a SuperDeck system with 4-inch foam boards on the attic floor, topped with wooden decking for both insulation and storage. The ductwork was encapsulated with 2-inch foam boards, all gaps were sealed to eliminate air leaks, and blown-in cellulose insulation was added to the remaining attic space. To further improve efficiency, a David Lewis Hatch cover was installed to seal the attic entrance. The result is a well-insulated, functional attic that boosts comfort and lowers energy costs.

SuperAttic in Red Bank, NJ, Enhances Comfort, Cuts Energy Costs, and Maximizes Efficiency

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.

How Poor Crawl Space Insulation Left a Red Bank Home in NJ Cold All Winter

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.

Rim Joist Spray Foam in Red Bank NJ Stops Drafts and Cold Floors

A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ, was dealing with cold floors and drafts during the colder months. Their basement rim joists were left uninsulated, allowing cold air to leak into the home and create those chilly floors. Moisture marks on the wood also showed signs of fluctuating temperatures. Not only do these temperature shifts contribute to discomfort, but when moisture meets cold air against warmer indoor air, it can lead to mold, mildew, or even dry rot. By spray foaming the rim joists and sill plates, we sealed out the cold air and stopped the drafts. Now, this homeowner enjoys a warmer, more comfortable home while saving money on energy bills.
