It’s amazing to us how many garages don’t have much, if any, insulation in the ceiling, and this Elmira, OR garage was no exception! Our insulation crew air sealed the leaks before they blew in the TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to the higher R-60 level.
This home's attic did not have enough insulation to keep in the warm air, so the homeowner was cold in the winter. This comes from all the cracks where air was leaking out of the attic plus the inadequate level of insulation. Even though there was some attic insulation (see the Before photo), there were too many places where it was inadequate. Warm air likes to find its way out, and this attic gave it ample places to escape. Our Insulation Crew sealed the air leaks and then blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the R-49 level (see After photo) that is recommended as the minimum level to be effective.
This attic in Noti, OR needed its ductwork insulated, and it’s best to do this before the attic got insulated with TruSoft™ blown in cellulose. Our crew used close-cell spray foam—it insulates well and fills in any gaps and cracks where the conditioned air can leak out.
To help make this Junction City, OR home more comfortable, our insulation crew insulated the attic. First, the old fiberglass insulation (see BEFORE photo) was removed. It wasn’t doing much to insulate! This then allowed our insulation crew to do air-sealing in places where air is leaking from her home into the attic. Then, TruSoft™ cellulose was blown in to the attic to the R-49 level (see AFTER photo). All these steps are working together to help make this home better insulated.
To prepare this home for sale, the owner wanted to have the old aluminum windows replaced before doing more work on the outside to make it have more “curb appeal.” Our crew removed the old windows and installed new Simonton Verona-style vinyl windows.
