This home in McLean had a very unique design with the ceiling running at different heights and levels from one room to the next. This resulted in an attic space unlike most. The attic had points that would allow for an adult to stand up and other areas that were barely tall enough for a child to crawl through. There was also a wall that was straight up and down and shared its opposite side with the outside of the home. This all resulted in having minimal ability to use traditional bat rolled insulation or even blown in cellulose insulation with an effective result. Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jon was able to recommend an attic project using Silver Glo insulation panels and Zyp Foam to make it all work.
Sometimes less is more. This Springfield VA attic had areas with too little, and too much insulation. Collectively it was not working to properly insulate the attic and home. Our production team removed the existing insulation which was piled on and around this part of the frame and used spray foam to properly seal and insulate afterwards. this created a better air seal and a much cleaner look for the attic space.
This home had an attic that needed several upgrades. In addition to removal of the old insulation along with air sealing and new cellulose insulation, our Production Team built a new catwalk and deck area which would allow access to the different ends of the attic space. The walls of the decking will hold back the cellulose insulation after it is blown in.
This Arlington VA home needed an improvement in the attic to help better insulate the home and improve the comfort for the homeowners. The existing insulation had gaps in between framing and the attic floor was not air sealed. Our production team insulated below the existing attic decking and then built up walls around it to hold in the proper level of blown in cellulose insulation around it. this helps to properly insulate the attic and also leaves a clean decking space for storage or access to walk around the space.
This Arlington VA home needed a full attic project completed to fix the comfort issues being experienced by the homeowners. Rooms in the house were too hot because they lacked and air seal and the attic insulation above was insufficient. Our production team removed the existing insulation, air sealed the cracks and gaps in the attic floor using Zyp Foam and then installed radiant barrier to the attic ceiling/roof under-siding. The radiant barrier will shield away heat rays from the sun which might otherwise work to warm the attic space and home. Paired with air sealing and insulation, this provides the best possible total solution for creating an energy efficient and comfortable home.
