This customer in Ocean Grove, NJ had a rather unique situation - pigeons were nesting inside his chimney and making a huge mess! So we were sent out to safely remove them. In fact, a short while after setting up our retrieval devices, we were able to safely remove them from the home! We then carefully disinfected the chimney.
Although the pigeons were safely removed from the home, the chimney is still vulnerable to infestations from other nuisance birds and raccoons too. To solve this, we installed a chimney cap! This heavy-duty material is constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Galvanized Mesh! It is designed to prevent access to the chimney from all nuisance birds and wildlife!
Previously, we successfully and safely retrieved a squirrel from this customer's home in Deal, NJ. What had happened was the squirrel had chewed right into the wooden fascia board and made their way into the property! Now that the squirrel has been removed safely, we disinfected the area and began our exclusion process!
We fashioned a piece of sturdy metal flashing and installed over the damaged area of the fascia board. This is going to exclude squirrels, as well as other nuisance wildlife, from gaining access into the home through this area.
A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ, recently purchased a home and while walking around the exterior perimeter, found something missing that was quite important — a cover over the crawl space entry. He knew that it would only be a matter of time for mice and other pests to access the crawl space and the opening was a major problem for letting in hot humid air. He knew that Cowleys did a wide variety of crawl space repair and improvement work and contacted us to see if there was anything that we could do.
Cowleys had the perfect product: An Everlast cover that our contractor crew could easily custom fit to completely seal his crawl space access.
These covers are custom provide a perfect seal for most any crawl space opening.
They can be installed against wood framing or masonry, work exceptionally well, and look great. These doors, made of a hard durable plastic, stand up to New Jersey’s worst weather and keep out mice and other pests. These crawl space covers are far superior in performance to wooden or metal doors since they can’t rot, warp, crack, or rust. As a bonus, they never need to be painted. Also, even though these covers form a tight seal over the crawl space access, they are easy to open with four easy-to-grip knobs. Just twist them off, and you’re in!
This Long Branch homeowner could not have been more pleased.
We were sent out to a home in Montgomery, NJ, to add some new blown-in cellulose insulation to the attic. The customer has owned the home for over 35 years and hasn't been up to his attic in over 15 years! Since almost all of the fiberglass insulation was falling apart, dirty, and no longer efficient, the first thing we did was take all of it out of the attic and dispose of it properly!
Nest, we disinfected the entire attic from top to bottom. Afterward, we added our makers, to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic, and then added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. Trusoft fills the attic to its recommended insulation levels, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests and is eco-friendly. Not to mention that TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings for the owner!
This customer in Bernardsville, NJ, has owned his home for over 40 years and decided it was time to upgrade the insulation in his attic, so he contacted our Attic Systems Division for assistance. After discussing various options, the owner decided to have us add TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation to his attic space.
Fiberglass can lose it effectiveness over time and leave gaps in your attic where air can escape. First, we carefully removed all the old insulation and properly disposed of it. We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic. Next, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency.
Lastly, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating & is resistant to mold and pests.
