Before & After Photos

This home in Huntingtown, Maryland was suffering from terrible drafts. The homeowner could not stand how cold the house got during the cold months. Fortunately, she was introduced to Complete Home Solutions just in time this winter. 

After making a visit to her home, we discovered how much air was being lost through this homeowner's attic. Without proper air sealing or the right kind of insulation, your attic can cost you a lot of energy and heat. We fixed both of those problems, installing our special blown in cellulose insulation. We were happy to fix this uncomfortable home!

This home in Huntingtown, MD has been struggling to stay cool and the homeowners felt that their Air Conditioning unit just couldn't keep up.  The homeowner called Complete Home Solutions to help pinpoint what could be causing the house to be so uncomfortable.  Our home comfort professional visited the home and found that the attic wasn't properly sealed and insulated.   To fix this our Production Crews came to the home and air sealed all the top plates, around the gable wall, and any cracks or leaks surrounding the duct work and light fixtures. Once the entire attic was sealed our Team blew-in brand new Cellulose Insulation on top of the existing fiberglass insulation to reduce the air leaking out of the attic.

These homeowners in Huntingtown, Maryland are feeling much more comfortable and ready for summer temperatures on the way!

This is a picture of an attic at the beginning of one of our jobs.  This home in Huntingtown, MD was struggling to keep cool and was noticing how often the Air Conditioning was running but how little it was helping to cool the home.  The homeowner called Complete Home Solutions to have an Auditor come out to the home to try and pinpoint the major problem areas and what could be done to fix it. Our Home Comfort Specialist found the attic was not properly air sealed and the current insulation wasn't up to the proper R-value. To fix this home our production crew came out and air sealed all the top plates, the gable wall, around the duct work and around any recessed light fixtures. Once everything was air sealed our crew then blew in the new Cellulose Insulation until it reached the recommended R-value. The attic is now properly sealed -- meaning all the cold air the air conditioner is producing is no longer leaking out of the home through the attic!  The after photo shows the attic with the new insulation installed!

This rear cantilever area of a home in Huntingtown, MD was not properly air sealed.  The homeowners complained of cold floors and asked for advice on how to fix this problem.  As you can see from the before picture - the cantilever had no insulation and was not sealed at all.  The cantilever was leaking air into the home which was the reason the floors were so cold.  Our crews removed the soffit from the cantilever and air sealed the joist cavities with our 1/2" polyiso foam board, SilverGlo, and spray form.  Then we installed R-19 Fiberglass batt insulation in the joist cavities and Reinstalled the soffit.  The picture below shows the cantilever after it was air sealed and before the fiberglass batts were installed.  The homeowners were happy that we were able to determine the problem and help them fix it. 

This homeowner in Huntingtown, Maryland was worried about this upcoming winter. They were nervous because every winter meant cold rooms and astronomical utility bills for them. They got into contact with Complete Home Solutions this year, and it may have been the best decision they ever made.

We first gave them a Home Energy Audit to figure out where the main source of discomfort was coming from. As is often the case, the attic was the main culprit. There was not nearly enough insulation up there, and what was there was old and worn out. All of their warm air was just escaping up and out of the attic. Fortunately, we know exactly how to fix situations like this one. We start of by clearing out the old insulation, we then air seal any attic penetrations that may be allowing air to leak out, and we then install our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. Now that we have properly weatherized this house's attic, the homeowners no longer have to dread winter!
