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

During our attic inspection in Little Silver, NJ, we found that the pull-down stairs had an older-style design incompatible with our standard David Lewis Hatch Cover. To address this, we'll install a 2-inch rigid foam insulation board on the hatch door. This modification will prevent conditioned air from leaking into the attic when the hatch door is closed.

Properly insulating the attic hatch is essential to avoid higher energy costs and discomfort for the homeowner. Our goal is to minimize unnecessary energy expenses and improve overall home comfort by insulating these areas effectively.

In Red Bank, NJ, a homeowner dealt with chilly floors and an under-insulated crawl space. To address this, we applied foam to the rim joists to seal the cold drafts and maintain floor warmth. Insulation panels (SilverGlo) were installed to the crawl space walls to create a thermal barrier. Lastly, a CleanSpace Encapsulation liner was added to the floor. These upgrades resulted in a snug and energy-efficient crawl space, providing the homeowner with a cozier home environment.

A homeowner in Brick, NJ had a crawl space that was poorly insulated. Looking at the before picture we can see the exposed floors and walls. Our solution is to fasten our SilverGlo insulation panels onto the exterior walls of the crawl space. The concrete walls are porous, and by insulating the walls, we can help create a thermal barrier for the house. Also, we spray foam the rim joists to help air seal the exterior walls. This will help prevent any unwanted air from seeping into the crawl space. Next, we install our CleanSpace Encapsulation liner across the floor. Finally our team of experts installed our Sedona dehumidifier to maintain the humidity of the crawl space. This homeowner now has a properly insulated crawl space that will make this homeowner’s house more comfortable and energy efficient.

This homeowner’s Cape Cod style house in Oceanport, NJ suffered from inadequate insulation and air leakage on the second floor. The owner’s conditioned room had cold drafts in the winter and a hot stuffy room in the summer. After properly insulating both kneewalls our team can now focus on the devils triangle. First things first, we air sealed the devils triangles floor or conditioned rooms ceiling in the attic with orange ZypFoam. Next the roof slopes are dense packed with TruSoft cellulose insulation to stop air flow and insulate. Finally, the flat ceiling (the devils triangles floor) is insulated with TruSoft cellulose insulation to an R-value of R-60. We properly insulated the devils triangle and the owner now has a house that is more comfortable and energy efficient.

This homeowner’s kneewall in Oceanport, NJ suffered from poor insulation and air leakage. The owner’s conditioned room had cold drafts in the winter and a hot stuffy room in the summer. After removing the fiberglass insulation we air sealed both kneewall floors with orange ZypFoam sealant. The interior wall has exposed fiberglass insulation that is doing next to nothing to insulate the conditioned room. Our team installs SilverGlo insulation boards onto the adjoining wall. Next we draft block the floor bays with SilverGlo and air seal them with ZypFoam sealant. Since there is a larger roof overhang or a larger soffit we, use retaining walls to help contain the blown-in insulation. Finally blow-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to complete kneewall insulation.

We properly insulated the kneewall and the owner now has a house that is more comfortable and energy efficient.
