Job Stories

A homeowner in Allenhurst, NJ faced challenges in maintaining comfort throughout the seasons. During our complimentary home evaluation, we discovered a major issue with leaking ducts. Both the supply and return ducts had noticeable gaps, letting unconditioned air seep in and allowing conditioned air to escape into unconditioned spaces. This leakage has resulted in higher energy bills for the homeowner. Contact us today for your free home evaluation and improve your home's comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

This small attic in Allenhurst, NJ needed some loving. The homeowner had high energy bills and was too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This is what we do, “We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!”. By properly air sealing the attic, installing baffle vents, sealing the trunk connections or any leaky ducts, creating wooden retaining walls and sealing the wood decking we are ready to then start blowing in the optimal r-value of R-60 of TruSoft Cellulose insulation.

In Highlands, NJ, a homeowner needed an attic insulation upgrade. During our free evaluation, we discovered that the can lights lacked proper insulation and air sealing, with visible gaps that allowed conditioned air to escape into the attic—wasting energy and increasing utility bills. In the attic, the lights were completely exposed. Our simple fix was to install can light covers and seal them with foam sealant, which stopped the air leaks and helped the homeowner save energy and reduce their utility bills.

During a free home evaluation in this Highlands, NJ home, we pulled back the existing insulation and discovered the attic was not properly air sealed. Leaks at the top plates were allowing conditioned air to escape into the attic, causing the rooms below to feel too hot or too cold. When an attic isn’t air sealed, you’re essentially paying to heat or cool the attic, which drives up energy bills. In fact, gaps in the top plates can be equivalent to leaving a window open more than six inches year-round, especially when combined with pipe and wire penetrations. By taking the time to properly air seal and insulate the attic, we can significantly reduce energy loss, lower utility bills, and greatly improve overall home comfort.

After inspecting the crawl space in Ocean Grove, NJ, we discovered condensation forming on the pipes and dripping onto surrounding surfaces. High relative humidity can lead to the formation of condensation, which encourages mold growth on organic materials. This mold can release spores and odors, potentially compromising indoor air quality and leading to dry rot that damages the wood structure in the crawl space. To address this, we recommend installing a Sedona dehumidifier. This solution effectively reduces humidity levels, dries out the crawl space, and helps maintain comfort throughout the rest of the house.

This homeowner in Neptune, NJ was experiencing cold floors and drafty first-floor rooms due to an unprotected crawl space. Our team encapsulated the crawl space with a vapor barrier and installed rigid foam insulation on the exterior foundation walls. We also addressed the rim joists, which are common problem areas where outside air can leak in and travel up into the floors. We sealed them with spray foam to stop air infiltration and cold drafts. With the crawl space properly insulated and sealed, the cold floors and drafts were eliminated, leaving the homeowner with a more comfortable, efficient home and no more cold spots.

This home in Deal, NJ feels uncomfortable and drafty due to insufficient insulation. Visible bare spots reveal areas where the attic lacks proper coverage. To make matters worse, the attic isn't air-sealed, which further increases the homeowner’s discomfort. By sealing the attic and adding cellulose insulation with an optimal R-value of R-60, we can significantly enhance comfort and energy efficiency in this home—and any home.

During our free home inspection in Deal, NJ, we found that the trunk connections to the supply line were leaking conditioned air into the attic. Meanwhile, the return trunk lines were pulling unconditioned attic air back into the duct system, leading to poor air quality and inconsistent temperatures throughout the home. We also found leaks at the register connections. We're more than just an insulation company—we inspect homes to identify the root causes of discomfort, high energy bills, and poor indoor air quality.

During our free home evaluation in Deal, NJ, we inspected the homeowner’s basement and found the rim joists and sill plates exposed—both common sources of air leaks. In the summer, these leaks let in heat and humidity; in the winter, they allow cold drafts to enter, leading to chilly floors and uncomfortable, drafty rooms above. To fix this, we apply spray foam insulation to seal the rim joists and sill plates. This airtight barrier prevents unwanted air and moisture from entering the home, resulting in noticeably more comfortable living spaces—warmer floors in winter and cooler rooms in summer.

The attic entrance in this Deal, NJ home is allowing conditioned air the homeowner is paying for to escape into the attic. We often see pull-down stairs and attic hatches that aren’t properly air sealed or insulated, which leads to wasted energy and higher bills. Our solution is simple and effective. We air seal the frame and install a David Lewis Hatch Cover, an insulated rigid-foam cover with a radiant barrier that reflects heat and prevents conditioned air from leaking into the attic.
