Before & After Photos

This home was looking to make the top floor more comfortable AND lower their utiltiy bills....all with one solution!!!

This Arlington VA home had a cantilever that was allowing outside air and temperatures to impact the room it was connected to.  Cantilevers extend out beyond the wall of a home and are often uninsulated, allowing for air flow through the rim joists.  We remove the material covering the bottom, install spray foam to insulate and air seal and then reattach the cover.  This can help reduce energy bills and make the connected room more comfortable.  

This homeowner had a drafty brick fireplace that allowed cold air into the home during the winter.  It also allowed hot/humid air into the home during th summer.  A new Pop-Top was installed on the chimney so they could close it up when not in use to stop air from coming in or going out.

This Alexandria VA apartment had HVAC ducts that ran adjacent to the windows and sliding doors that lead to the outside patio/deck area of the living space.  This left the HVAC ducts susceptible to impact from the external temperatures which caused the HVAC to run more often than it should have needed too. This also lead to added noise for the residents when the HVAC system was running.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro visited the home and found a solution to help protect the HVAC ducts from external temperatures and to reduce the noise coming from the HVAC system.  Pedro advised that the HVAC ducts be encapsulated in spray foam insulation.  Our production team removed the drywall around the HVAC ducts to gain access to each side and then applied spray foam to cover the ducts.  Once dried, the spray foam was shaved down to make it flat around the HVAC ducts and allow to reinstall the drywall that had been cut away.  

A kneewall space is created when a finished room is built within a sloped roof. A short wall called a "kneewall" forms a triangular space which in this case, is accessible with a short door. Cold and hot air from outdoors enters the kneewall space through leaky fascia/soffit assemblies or through soffit vents. Kneewalls that are not properly insulated can contribute to your top floor being very uncomfortable. Here, a kneewall is air sealed and insulated with closed cell spray foam. SilverGlo insulation foam board is also installed on all vertical walls between levels.
