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

A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ, had a small little attic that was poorly insulated. With inadequate insulation this owner was dealing with cold and drafty rooms in the winter and stuffy and hot rooms in the summer. After inspecting the attic we also noticed the attic was not properly air sealed. We air sealed the attic floors, sealed any leaky ducts, used wooden retaining walls and sealed the wooden decking while blowing-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 value. The homeowner now has a properly insulated attic, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ was dealing with cold floors and drafty areas along the first-floor exterior walls. After inspecting the home, we found the crawl space was not properly insulated, and the rim joists and sill plate had been left unsealed, allowing cold air to leak into the lower level and cause discomfort. To address the issue, we encapsulated the crawl space with a vapor barrier, installed rigid foam insulation on the crawl space walls, and sealed and insulated the rim joists and sill plate with spray foam. We also air sealed and insulated the attic to help reduce the stack effect. These improvements eliminated the cold floors and drafts, resulting in a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
