This homeowner contacted us about high energy bills and uneven temperatures in their home. We addressed their concerns by air sealing an insulating the attic. Foam insulation was used to seal top plates and electrical and plumbing penetrations to reduce the amount of air escaping from the conditioned living space into the attic. Next, a fresh blanket of blown-in cellulose insulation was installed on the attic floor.
This client is turning a horse trailer into a tiny home and wanted to insulate the ceiling with closed cell spray foam. We installed an R-12 of insulation on the roof of this trailer.
The David Lewis Pull Down Stair cover insulates and air seals around the attic access. Otherwise, this is essentially a big hole in your attic's insulation allowing heat transfer and air loss between your attic and living space.
Brad & Bryan did a great job helping this Newport News, VA, Homeowner with their attic! This client just moved into their new home and, during inspection, found that they needed more insulation in the attic. (Having enough attic insulation means being more comfortable in your home and a more energy-efficient home!) After reviewing their options, the homeowner insulated the attic with an R-49 of blown-in cellulose insulation and a David Lewis Pull-Down Stair Hatch Cover.
This attic had existing loose fiberglass insulation with an R-value of 3.2 per inch. This material allows air to easily pass through it and escape into the unconditioned attic and out of the home. For this homeowner, we installed an R-38 of blown-in cellulose insulation. Cellulose is more dense than the loose fiberglass, is 85% recycle material, and is fire retardant due to being manufactured with borate, a substance that deters pests.
