Before & After Photos

In Little Silver, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with poor attic insulation that led to discomfort, energy waste, and unusable storage space. We solved the problem by installing a SuperAttic system, which moves the insulation barrier to the roofline, creating a more stable, conditioned attic environment. This upgrade not only made the space suitable for storage but also improved comfort throughout the home and lowered energy bills through better insulation and ventilation.

Fed up with sweltering summers and frigid winters, a homeowner in Little Silver, NJ, wanted both relief from extreme temperatures and functional attic storage space. We installed our SuperDeck system, creating proper storage conditions while properly insulating the home. After sealing the attic floor and repairing any leaky ducts or trunk connections, we added 4-inch SilverGlo foam boards and installed plywood over the SilverGlo boards, meticulously sealing every seam and gap for maximum efficiency. Wooden retaining walls were installed, and TruSoft cellulose insulation was blown in to achieve an optimal R-60 value. The result a well insulated attic with storage space, lower energy bills, and year-round comfort.

In Little Silver, NJ, a homeowner’s attic lacked proper insulation and air sealing, leaving leaky can lights and exposed duct trunks vulnerable to radiant heat. This caused warmer air to circulate through the system during the summer instead of delivering cooler air to the home. We addressed these issues by fully air sealing the attic, installing sealed can light covers, and blowing in insulation to achieve the optimal R-60 value. With the duct trunks now buried beneath the insulation, radiant heat is kept from warming the air moving through them. The result is a properly insulated and air-sealed home that stays more comfortable and performs more efficiently year-round.

This customer was feeling cold in her bedroom because a  kneewall that borders the attic space was allowing a lot of cold air to move into the room because the wall was not properly air sealed or insulated. A large cavity next to the building support also allowed a lot of cool air to freely move through the attic from below. By insulating the kneewall with 2" reflective radiant barrier foam board, Dr. Energy Saver was able to keep the cold air out of the customer's bedroom. Sealing off the cavity with foam board as well slowed the movement of air through the attic dramatically.

This attic kneewall was leaking a considerable amount of air into this customer's home in Red Bank, NJ due to a lack of insulation.  In order to stop this problem, Dr. Energy Saver sheathed the wall in 2" polyisocyanurate foam board and sealed it with expanding spray foam to create an air-sealed barrier between the attic and the inside of the house.  This fix has left the homeowner feeling more comfortable and happy about saving money on his energy bills for the rest of the time he owns the house.
