This homeowner from Vass, NC reached out to Home Shield Insulation after dealing with ongoing comfort issues in their master bedroom. After having Duke Energy take a look, they had discovered that nearly one-third of the attic had little to no insulation, leaving parts of the home poorly protected from outdoor temperatures. When we inspected the attic, temperatures inside were nearly the same as the outside.
To correct the problem, we completed a full attic insulation system. Our team removed the old insulation, thoroughly air sealed the attic to address gaps and areas of air leakage, and installed new blown-in insulation throughout the space. The result is a properly insulated and air-sealed attic made to create a stronger thermal barrier and help keep the home more comfortable year-round
Mrs. T reached out to our team after noticing excessive moisture in her crawlspace. Concerned about how the moisture could affect her home's overall condition and comfort, she wanted a thorough crawlspace inspection to identify potential sources of where the moisture was coming from and understanding her options to take care of the problem.
Cade, one of our specialists, inspected the crawlspace to better understand the concerns and determine which improvements could help create a healthier, more controlled environment beneath the home. Our team completed a full crawlspace encapsulation system. By sealing her crawlspace from ground moisture and outside humidity, the new system helps protect the home's structural components, reduce moisture-related concerns, and support better indoor comfort and air quality.
These Cary, NC homeowners reached out to Home Shield Insulation looking to improve the comfort and efficiency of their 30-year-old home. Since they plan to Stay in the house long-term, they wanted to make improvements that would help the home perform better for years to come. One issue they had noticed was a particularly cold kitchen wall and countertops, along with old attic insulation they were ready to replace.
After evaluating the home, we upgraded the attic with a complete insulation system where it cultivated a better thermal barrier between the living space and attic. By addressing the aging insulation and areas contributing to the heat loss, we were able to help improve the home's overall comfort and give the homeowners a better-performing attic for the future.
After exploring several options for upgrading their attic insulation, this Fuquay-Varina, NC homeowner chose Home Shield Insulation for a more comprehensive approach. Our team completed a full attic system, beginning with air sealing accessible gaps and penetrations along the attic floor to help reduce unwanted air coming in. We then installed blown in insulation to create consistent coverage. By combing air sealing with proper insulation, this upgrade helped reduce heat transfer, support more consistent temperatures.
When a Raleigh homeowner reached out to Home Shield Insulation, they were looking for ways to improve the energy efficiency of their 90-year-old home. With little to no existing insulation and solid wood attic floors, Mr. H wasn't sure what his options were. They initially considered spray foam insulation along the roof, but after evaluating the attic, our team recommended a different approach that would improve the efficiency of the home while also keeping the roof decking accessible for future inspections. While spray foam can be effective in certain applications, applying it directly to roof decking can make leaks and moisture damage harder to detect.
Rather than applying spray foam directly to the roof decking, we completed a full attic insulation system focus on reducing energy loss. This included air sealing to address gaps where conditioned air could escape, followed by installing blow in insulation to create a more effective thermal barrier. By addressing the attic as a whole system, we helped Mr. H take an important step toward better comfort and energy efficiency while preserving the ability to identify potential roof leaks in the future.
