Photo Album: Insulation upgrade for a Cape Cod Style home in Moundsville, WV 26041
Gina reached out because her Cape Cod–style home had cold floors, drafty rooms, and higher energy bills than expected. The biggest frustration was the upstairs, which struggled to stay comfortable throughout the year, swinging between too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.
Our team focused on tightening the attic and improving insulation performance where Cape Cod homes commonly lose energy. We sealed attic air leaks, improved and insulated the attic access, upgraded insulation levels, insulated knee wall areas, and installed insulation dams to keep materials properly contained. We also improved attic usability by creating better access and storage.
With these upgrades complete, Gina’s home now feels noticeably more comfortable. The upstairs stays consistent year-round, drafts are reduced, energy costs are lower, and the attic is easier and safer to access for storage and maintenance.
