Eric contacted us because his Cape Cod–style home had high energy bills and drafty rooms that made it hard to stay comfortable. He also wanted better access to the attic for storage and maintenance and needed insulation improvements in key areas like the cathedral ceiling, knee walls, and ductwork.
Our team sealed and insulated the attic, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and upgraded insulation in the cathedral ceiling and knee wall areas. We also encapsulated the ductwork to reduce air loss and improved attic access so the space could be used more safely and effectively.
Now, Eric’s home is more energy efficient, draft issues are reduced, and the attic space is easier to access and maintain. These upgrades will help keep the home comfortable while lowering heating and cooling costs year-round.
Becky needed help insulating her home in Leetonia, Ohio. She called Home Environment Solutions for a free in home evaluation. The insulation in her home was over 40 years old and needed replaced with a more efficient system.
The Home Environment Solutions team arrived and began air sealing the attic assembly. The next upgrade to Becky's home was to install SilverGlo on the attic walls forming a barrier to stop heat loss. Finally a thick layer of cellulous was blown into the attic.
David reached out because his two-story home had cold floors, high energy bills, and uncomfortable temperature swings upstairs. On top of that, there was rodent contamination in the attic that needed to be properly cleaned and sanitized. He also wanted better attic access for storage and future maintenance.
Our team completed a full attic cleanup and sanitation to remove rodent droppings, then sealed and insulated the attic to stop air and heat loss. We insulated the scuttle cover, sealed top plates, addressed open soffit areas, and upgraded insulation levels to improve comfort upstairs.
Now, David’s home is cleaner, healthier, and far more comfortable. Energy costs are lower, upstairs temperatures are more stable, and the attic is sanitized, sealed, and much easier to access.
Paul from Moundsville Wv called Home Environment Solutions saying that every winter the upstairs of his home stays cold. David would like his home to be insulated better to save on energy costs and to be comfortable. We sent our expert Russell out to perform a free energy audit. Russ found a poorly insulated attic wit old loose insulation and a lot of wire and pipe runs unsealed.
e sent our insulation team out and they first removed and disposed of all the old insulation. Insulated the attic wall with Silverglo, insulated the skylights and air sealed, insulated and sealed the attic scuttle cover, sealed all pipe and wire runs with Zypfoam and used blown in Trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.
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.
