This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. He initially called us out for insulation. However, when our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that he wanted his bulkhead door replaced. It was old and rusting,
We were able to help this customer. We installed a beautiful new bulkhead door. We had to pour concrete in order to level the footing. Once the concrete was set, we installed the 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 Enfield, CT called us hoping we would be able to help him with several projects around his home, including his insulation. When he initially reached out, it was winter, and he had very cold floors and high energy bills. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that the windows needed to be replaced. They were old and leaking air -- the cold air was coming into the home and the air they paid to heat was escaping out of it. This was contributing to the issues that the homeowner was experiencing.
We were able to help this customer! We utilized our Everlast™ high efficiency vinyl window inserts. They have 2 panes of "Low E" glass, a high performance glass that lets visible light through while blowing most of the heat flow. They are made with a vinyl frame that will not rust, rot, or need any paint. The homeowner's basement will now be warmer in the winter, and they will no longer be losing air they paid to heat.
This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us hoping that he would be able to get an insulation evaluation done on his Cape-style home. He wanted the entire home evaluated. The home had been under renovation for a few years, and it was time to begin the insulation. The second floor of a Cape often suffers from inadequate insulation, and air leaks from the soffits into poorly insulated kneewall spaces. This results in cold drafty rooms in winter that are harder than necessary to heat, and hot rooms in the summer as roof heat radiates in unchecked. Kneewall spaces are dusty and too cold or hot - unsuitable for clean storage.
We had the perfect solution for this customer -- our Super Kneewall™ treatment. First, our SilverGlo™ foam insulation panels are installed on the bottom of the rafters in the kneewall spaces and the ceiling joist bays are blocked and sealed with foam to stop air leakage. Then the roof slopes are dense packed with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to stop air flow and insulate. Finally, the flat ceiling is insulated with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. Result - rooms are comfortable all year and need much less heat and air conditioning. Drafts are eliminated as kneewall spaces are airtight and clean and suitable for storage. Summer roof heat is far less.
This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us looking to insulate his childhood home. The home had been in the family for decades, and they were working to make it more comfortable now that he was the owner. He had almost no insulation in his basement, and he wanted to ensure that it was insulated properly for the future.
We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. The homeowner is now very happy, and he is much more comfortable in his home!
This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us about his attic and basement insulation. He was uncomfortable in his home, and had received a reminder from the state rebate program after having an audit done.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We removed the loose fiberglass insulation with a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the attic was air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in her home!
