This homeowner in Hamden, CT called us originally hoping that we would be able to help her with her roof and gutters. Once we had completed that work on her home, she called us back wondering if we could help her with her porch as well. Years of untreated roof issues had led to other problems in the home. With the porch, the support beams and columns were rotting. She was hoping that she would be able to replace them to make it look good as new!
We replaced the rotting beams with pressure-treated lumber.
Now, this homeowner's porch is renewed and will be great for years to come!

Our team Installed Foamax Polyiscyanurate board on the walls of the basement
This homeowner in Williamstown, MA called us stating that her home was losing a lot of heat. They had a stone foundation and it was not insulated. Heat moves from more to less - out of a building in winter, and into a building in summer, meaning they needed a barrier. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and proposed a solution for this customer. This solution was to install open cell spray foam with an additional thermal barrier to maximize the comfort level this homeowner needed.
This open-cell spray foam was sprayed on to the stone walls with special equipment. The foam expands in place where it was sprayed, and air cannot pass through it - stopping air flow through all of the holes and cracks in the stone walls. We then added an additional spray on "intumescent" coating, which provides fire protection and is a thermal barrier.
Now, this home is more comfortable than ever, and no longer will have heat loss problems!
