Attic Insulation and Air Sealing in Whitesboro, NY

This attic in Whitesboro, NY had significant energy loss due to loose-fill insulation, unsealed gaps around wiring, plumbing, and top plates, as well as air leakage near the chimney and recessed lighting. These issues often lead to drafts, inconsistent temperatures, and higher energy costs, while also increasing the risk of moisture problems and reduced overall efficiency.

To address this, we began by extracting all existing loose-fill insulation to fully expose the attic floor and identify air leaks. We then performed detailed air sealing, closing gaps around wiring, pipes, and structural openings using professional-grade sealants. The chimney area was properly sealed with fire-resistant rock wool to safely contain airflow, and can light covers were installed to prevent heat loss through recessed fixtures. We also built an insulated catwalk with dams to maintain full insulation depth while allowing safe access to attic components without compromising performance.

The attic was finished with TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation installed at a settled depth of 16 inches, achieving an R60 rating for maximum thermal efficiency. Using materials such as cellulose insulation, rock wool, air sealants, can light covers, and catwalk framing components, the result is a tightly sealed, well-insulated attic designed to improve comfort, reduce energy loss, and support long-term home performance.

Crawlspace Encapsulation in Utica, NY

This crawlspace in Utica was contributing to poor home performance due to exposed dirt floors, high humidity, and failing fiberglass insulation. Open vents and unprotected surfaces allowed moisture and outside air to enter freely, leading to cold floors, drafts, and increased energy costs. The existing insulation had become ineffective and unsanitary, making it necessary to fully reset the space for a proper solution.

We began by removing all fiberglass insulation and clearing out debris, including cinderblocks, to prepare for encapsulation. The system installation started with drainage matting to create a moisture barrier and thermal break, followed by TerraBlock™ foam insulation across the floor. A heavy-duty CleanSpace™ liner was then installed and sealed across the floor and up the walls to lock out moisture and improve air quality. To complete the upgrade, we applied 2" of closed-cell spray foam along the crawlspace walls and rim joists, sealing vents and insulating key areas to stop air infiltration.

The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawlspace that helps reduce humidity, eliminate drafts, warm the floors above, and lower overall energy costs, creating a more comfortable and healthier home year-round.

Fiberglass Exterior Door & Stair Handrail Installation in New York Mills, NY

An outdated exterior entry door and lack of proper stair support can affect both security and safety, especially during harsh weather conditions and daily use. For this project in New York Mills, NY, the existing setup needed a more durable, energy-efficient entry system along with a secure handrail to improve accessibility and overall curb appeal.

We upgraded the entryway by removing and disposing of the old exterior and storm door, preparing the rough opening, and installing a new MMI DOOR 32-in x 80-in fiberglass half-lite right-hand outswing prehung front door with brickmould, insulating core, and decorative grilles. To improve energy efficiency and create an airtight seal, the frame was insulated with spray foam before completing the installation with new trim casing and lockset hardware. We also installed a VEVOR 3-foot iron stair handrail, floor-mounted and securely anchored to provide stable support for the exterior steps.

The completed upgrade delivered a safer, more secure, and visually polished entrance for the home. The durable fiberglass exterior door now offers smoother operation, improved insulation, and enhanced curb appeal, while the sturdy black arched stair handrail adds both functionality and safety for everyday use in all seasons.

Attic Insulation and Air Sealing in New Hartford, NY

This attic in New Hartford, NY was underperforming due to aging insulation, air leaks, and poor ventilation (common issues that lead to heat loss, drafts, and rising energy costs). We found unsealed penetrations, gaps around the attic hatch, and exposed rim joists allowing conditioned air to escape, along with airflow problems that can contribute to moisture buildup and winter issues like ice dams.

To address this, we completed a full attic upgrade starting with insulation removal using our CoolVac machine to expose all problem areas. We then performed comprehensive air sealing throughout the attic, including key areas like the living room closet, window, and hatch. Ventilation was improved by installing baffles and properly venting the bath fan and furnace intake to the exterior. We also added insulation damming around access points and sealed the rim joists using closed-cell spray foam to eliminate critical air infiltration.

The attic was finished with R49 blown-in cellulose insulation to ensure consistent, high-performance coverage. Using materials such as cellulose insulation, vent baffles, spray foam, caulk sealants, Schedule 40 PVC, a bath fan hard pipe and wall vent duct kit, and 1/2" plywood, the result is a tightly sealed, properly ventilated attic that enhances comfort, improves energy efficiency, and supports long-term home performance.
