Insulating a Basement with Foamax Board in Orange, MA
This homeowner in Orange, MA called us in order to bulk up her basement's insulation. When we arrived in the home, we noticed that her basement's poured concrete walls were not insulated. This is fairly common -- but it can affect the temperature of the basement, making it colder than you would like it to be and, unfortunately, harder to heat. This meant that their energy bills were higher than they should be.
The best way to protect and insulated poured concrete walls is to use insulation board. We installed our Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) foam insulation boards on all of the walls of this basement. They install right over the concrete! As a bonus, they are also flame retardant, so it can be exposed in the basement unlike other types of foam. This insulation board makes a noticeable difference in a space -- the basement feels warmer and more comfortable, and the home is easier to heat!
Making a F.R.O.G. Warmer in Mystic, CT
This homeowner called us because he recently moved his Father into the Finished Room Over the Garage (or F.R.O.G.) and his Father was complaining that the room was too cold. When he called our Appointment Center we knew exactly what he was talking about and agreed to send a Building Science Specialist right away.
Upon careful evaluation, our Building Science Specialist was able to confirm that the issue is that the Finished Room Over the Garage (or F.R.O.G.) was not insulated at all. Of course this room was cold! We air sealed & insulated the garage ceiling with TruSoft™ Cellulose. We then installed a SuperKneeWall™ Insulation System with SilverGlo™ and TruSoft™ Cellulose Insulation. Now the room is warm & ready for dad!

Dense Packing to Make Room Over Garage Warmer in Woodstock, CT
This homeowner in Woodstock, CT called us for an estimate on replacing the insulation in their home. They were especially concerned with the very cold finished room over the garage. They had fiberglass insulation in the garage "ceiling", which leaves lots of air space for cold air to enter the home and escape. This decreases efficiency, making it cold in the winter! Since this garage did not have a ceiling, we had to customize a solution for them!
We sent out our production team to get to work. First, we remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation and the boards holding it up. Then we we staple Insulweb as shown to the floor joists to create a subspace. Now, through small holes we stick our dense pack hose into the open spaced and dense pack with our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We patch up the holes used, and we are done! This will drastically decrease the uneven temperature of the room over the garage. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is now more comfortable, and energy efficient!
