This owner was working on preparing his Eugene, OR rental for sale and knew there were big issues under the home (see BEFORE photo). The insulation was hanging down and this would clearly be an issue for a potential buyer.
He chose to replace the insulation with 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam as this would be a good selling point. Spray foam will not sag over time as fiberglass does, and it seals up holes.
The owners of this west Eugene, OR home built in 1951 were working on a remodel and hired our company to insulate the attic. The BEFORE photo shows how there was hardly any insulation. After our crew removed the old stuff, they air sealed the leaky areas and then blew in cellulose to the R-49 code level (AFTER photo).
Anyone who lives in an older mobile home likely has older aluminum windows. They can be drafty and cold! This couple chose to replace all their windows with the more energy-efficient Simonton brand higher-end Daylight Max windows.
This Eugene, OR homeowner wanted to replace three of his old, wooden and leaky windows. After finding us online, he called for an appointment to get a proposal. He chose the Simonton Verona series vinyl windows with cam locks and double-strength glass.
This BEFORE photos shows the attic deck floor and ductwork. What you can’t see is: how inefficient the fiberglass batting is, how the ducts were leaking, and how there were air gaps along the edges that were causing air to be sucked up from the home and into the attic!
Fiberglass, although still be used, is not the best insulation material. Building standards back when this home was built in 1926 didn’t include sealing up all the leaks. To solve many issues, the homeowner chose closed-cell spray foam insulation (see AFTER photo).
