Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Granville, MA called us hoping to talk to us about her basement. Her basement had recently started getting a lot of water. It had been an issue some years previously, however, that stopped. When it restarted, she knew she needed to reach out to someone for help.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We installed a SuperSump® sump pump system into the basement. It features a sturdy liner, airtight lid, 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high, and a stand to keep the pump out of silt and sediment. A WaterWatch® Alarm System alerts the homeowner to pump failure before the basement floor gets wet. We also installed a perimeter drainage system that connects to the pump. The homeowner is very excited to have a new sump pump for her home! 

This customer in Cummington, MA reached out to us as the contact person at a children's music camp. He stated that they had recently built new cabins at the camp and needed to insulate them for the comfort of the campers. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and examined the cabins to formulate a plan. 

We first went into the cabins and sealed all of the cracks and places where air would leak in and out. We installed baffles and used Rockwool to block parts of the eaves around the baffles. We then used a large hose to blow cellulose insulation into the attics. This will ensure that the cabins are more temperature-controlled and comfortable for the children attending this camp. The cabins will be enjoyed for years to come! 

This homeowner in Cummington, MA called us saying that she needed her bulkhead door replaced. Her husband built the home, and they had a wooden bulkhead door that had been in place since it was built 10 years prior. It was rotting, and she stated she had fallen through it. She needed it replaced as soon as possible due to the hole in it. 

We were able to help this customer. We installed a beautiful new bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit. Now, this homeowner has a new, beautiful bulkhead door that will look nice for years to come! 

This homeowner in Collinsville, CT reached out to us because she wanted to replace her bulkhead door. It was an older hatchway door that was rusting on the outside.

This homeowner in Collinsville, CT reached out to us while she was working on doing a bundled loan. She wanted to insulate her home as well as get solar installed. She was looking through the approved contractors for the loan she was getting, and found us on the list. She was looking for mostly attic insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that in addition to the attic insulation, she needed to insulate under her floors. Some homes or additions are designed with floors that have the outside air under them. Other times a home or addition was originally used as a summer home or “three season room”, and was converted to all season heated space later. When the outside air flows under a floor it feels very cold and uncomfortable in the winter - especially with ceramic tile, linoleum or laminate floors. Since the floor is the surface of the room we are in contact with most, it’s very important to fix, in order to be comfortable. There are two issues - air leakage through the floor, and conductive heat loss through the floor, because heat moves from more to less through solid materials. Even if there is fiberglass batt insulation in the floor, because it sags down away from the sub floor, the same outside air gets over it (“thermal bypass”) rendering it useless. Mold on the floor joists and sub floor is also a concern. Results - cold floors, drafts, uncomfortable rooms, greater overall home air leakage rate, higher fuel and electric bills.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, SilverGlo™ foam insulation board is installed across the bottom of the floor joists with special long screws and 3” washers, SilverGlo™ is expanded polystyrene foam with graphite infused into the foam, which bumps up the insulation (“R”) value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Further, SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier to reflect heat, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. All seams are sealed. We also added skirting around the perimeter of the insulation so the edge is not visible. Result - Much warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms, quieter home, lower fuel and electric bills.
