"When we find empty walls,
we like to insulate the wall cavities." |
Insulation
Adding thermal efficiency to the walls and the attic floor of
your home are among the most cost effective, practical and
patriotic upgrades a homeowner can make. When carefully planned
out, home improvements can be truly cost effective and painless.
Many times, however, good money is spent with disappointing
results.
One such measure is in the addition of rigid insulation to a new
siding when the intake vents of an attic are not assured to be
working and effective. Also, new windows that change the
dynamics of a home can lead to a tighter home that begins to
accumulate moisture in the attic. The addition of insulation to
an attic may block ventilation and create new moisture and mold
issues. Careful planning is the key to making your home more
energy efficient, without future aggravation.

We know because we get the calls
to help when an imbalance has been created. We routinely fix and
repair the problems that occur from the blind approach of many
home improvements. The best way to approach a home improvement
project is to inspect the home and ascertain all available
information prior to specifying a complete solution that will
work for the client.
One of the most common problems we find in the “Cover-All”
mentality of the home exterior renovation marketplace is the
misunderstood concept of proper attic ventilation. In any
siding, roofing, or insulating endeavor, a sound knowledge of
proper ventilation should be a priority. We ensure that all
intake ventilation is working properly. We reject mixing exhaust
vent types. We do an FHA footprint on roofing projects and some
siding projects. We provide insulation baffles, or recommend
doing so on every job where we install new soffiting. We prefer
the “gutting” of old cornice work, rather than just covering old
material with new material.
When we find empty walls, we like to insulate the wall cavities.
We offer this service with our siding. We offer up to 1” of
rigid foam and spray foam insulation in original rough openings
(something rarely done in the industry). |
