Sally was experiencing cold floors in the winter and humidity issues in the summer in her Dunkirk, MD home. She had had enough and decided to contact us and get a professional out right away to try and resolve her issue. Once James arrived, he noticed right away that she had no insulation or vapor barrier in her crawl space. After the diagnosis, we were able to get our Home Comfort Technicians out there to help alleviate her problems and once JB and his crew showed up, they went right to work! They started by removing all the debris from the crawl space and then adding a 20mm thick vapor barrier to block the humidity from rising from the ground. After the vapor barrier is installed, the crew added batt insulation onto the subfloor to make sure Sally's floors stay warm in the winter.
Sally noticed the difference right away and even inquired about having her attic insulated by us in the future!
Dale reached out to us saying that his upstairs bedroom seemed drafty and made their upstairs feel like it was always a different temperature. Once Jack had been out to complete his inspection, he had realized that Dale had a knee wall in his bedroom that was extra leaky and not well insulated. This would be the cause to his room feeling hotter than others. The way to fix that is to spray foam the knee wall from within the attic to completely seal it and add insulation to the wall. The seal will prevent air from leaking into the attic and the foam will make sure heat doesn't radiate into the room. Alfredo and his crew arrived and spray foamed the knee wall, along with everything else we do to insulate attics. Dale noticed an immediate difference as soon as the spray foam was installed!

Nancy called in wanting a home energy audit and to inspect her house to see what we could do to make her house feel more comfortable. We sent Jonathan, our Home Comfort Specialist to go and perform a blower door test along with using an infrared camera to see where she has temperature issues. After conducting his tests, Jonathan recommended an attic insulation upgrade and spray foam her skylight in the attic. With that, our Home Comfort Technician, Brad and his crew went into the attic to begin working. They installed baffles and air sealed the entire attic. Before they blew the new insulation into the attic, they spray foamed the skylight, which during the infrared inspection, it was revealed that the skylight fluctuates in temperatures and is one of the reasons why she is getting temperature differences between rooms. One spray foamed, Jose and Jason installed new blown in insulation up to the recommended R-value for Nancy's area.
Nancy felt an immediate difference and loved the decrease in her energy bill!
This homeowner had his crawl space encapsulated by us and was so pleased with our work, he called in order to have us come clean his gutters and install Gutter Guards to make sure it stays clean! When the crew got there, the gutters were in pretty poor condition. Almost every downspout was clogged and leaves and other debris filled the gutters throughout. They removed the leaves and scraped the bottom of the gutter to make Sure they are as clean as possible before covering them. Once cleaned, they started to install the guards section by section. When it was finished, all 200+ linear feet of gutters were covered and cleaned.
The next time it rained, the homeowner noticed water exiting the downspouts and was pleased with our work once again!
JoeAnne called in saying that she had just recently constructed a carport and wanted to know if we could add insulation to the walls. Of course! We had our Home Comfort Specialist, Charlie, head out and provide the different options in which we could insulate her new carport. JoeAnne decided to use batt insulation on the walls and spray foam the rim joist and band board. With the work set up for our Home Comfort Technicians, we sent JB and Jason out to complete The job. They started by spray foaming the rim joist and band board which is important because they are major sources of air leakage within your home. Around 40% of heat loss in a home can be attributed to air leakage so it is important to make sure they are sealed properly. After spray foaming, they installed the batt insulation on the exterior walls and completed the job!
JoeAnne loved how the job turned out and can't wait to enjoy warmer temperatures in her new carport!
