Before & After Photos

This customer in Ellington, CT called us out because of a concern they were having in their home. Their concern was that they had very old, ineffective fiberglass insulation in the attic. Fiberglass insulation is super fluffy, and is not able to properly insulate a home on its own. Due to this, this home was way colder than it should be this winter. This was caused by the lack of proper insulation. Without proper insulation air can leak into your attic and out of your home, making it difficult and costly to keep a home warm.

To fix this, we use our SuperPlatform treatment. First we need to remove the existing insulation.  Our installers remove all of the old insulation, bag it up, and properly dispose of the materials. Since this home contains an HVAC system in their attic we have make sure there is a proper walkway, or catwalk in the attic. This makes it so that service can be done correctly and safely in a space where there are mechanics.  Next, we lay our 4" SilverGlo foam board across the wooded walkway. This will increase the insulation value by 24%. We want to make sure that none of the blown in insulation we are installing will get on to our new walkway. Next, we have to install plywood over the foam board held in place by long screws and washers. Following this step, we dense pack TruSoft cellulose insulation into any space beneath the catwalk that is not filled.

This homeowner in Ellington, CT called us looking to get his bulkhead door replaced. An inspector recommended it be replaced. Additionally, it was the door original to the house, and was decades old and rusting. 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit. Now, it looks amazing, and the homeowner is happy! 

This homeowner in Andover, CT reached out to us when she found out that the entirety of her attic insulated was moldy. Our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home and immediately noted that they were correct - and that something needed to be done to help them as soon as possible for the safety of the family. 

We went to work, immediately removing the fiberglass attic insulation that was there. We then sealed all air leaks using our one-part Zypfoam, and installed baffles to keep some air flow from the outside to the attic. We then insulated with our TruSoft™ blown-in cellulose insulation. This insulation is fire resistant, mold resistant, and is not a comfortable home for pests. 

This homeowner now has a more comfortable and safe home for herself and her family as a result of our work! 

These homeowners in Tolland, CT, asked us out to their home to see if we could help them with a problem they were having . The problem was that they were having severe ice dams and the temperature in the rooms on the upper level were inconsistent all year round.  We got to the home and sat down with the customer to go over their concerns once more before conducting out Full Home Energy Evaluation. After a long search, we found out that their attic was full of old, nasty fiberglass insulation. Since fiberglass is so fluffy, it easily allows air to travel through it and is not a proper thermal barrier. Now we know what we need to do.

We conduct the unpleasant task of removing the damaged, soiled insulation from the attic. We use a long fat vacuum hose and such all of that insulation out of the attic. We also remove all of the left over particles and dust. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solution, this attic is ready for some new, fresh insulation!

This homeowner in Tolland, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her bulkhead door. It was over 30 years old, and it was ready to be replaced. It was rusty and unattractive, and the homeowner wanted a new one.

We were able to help this customer. We installed a beautiful new bulkhead door. We had to pour concrete to create a base. 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!
