Before & After Photos

The homeowner called Fogarty's Home Services concerned about the floors above the basement door being cold. We found that the existing door was old and drafty. We replaced the basement door with a steel-insulated basement door. Now the floors are warmer and the basement is more comfortable.

This homeowner in Rocky Hill, CT called us hoping we would be able to help her with her attic. Her attic had a moisture problem that became a mold problem. Additionally, there were home comfort issues, and they were using the attic for storage. They had a large amount of air leaks that were contributing to the issues in the home. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. Our solution is the the SuperAttic™ advanced conversion system. In this solution, SilverGlo™ EPS foam insulation board with graphite is installed on the underside of the roof deck. The graphite gives it superior R-value and a foil face on both sides reflects heat out in summer and back in during winter. The roof is still vented, kept cold in winter to prevent ice damming. In summer, excess heat is vented out. The attic is now part of the conditioned space in the home, and ducts in the attic are no longer in a hostile environment. The attic is clean, less dusty and suitable for storage. The homeowner can even finish their attic!

Fogarty's Home Services replaced the old dirty attic insulation to get the attic clean and ready for proper air sealing and insulation of clean fresh TruSoft Cellulose insulation in Wethersfield, CT.  As you can see in the before photo the old batt insulation was loose and not properly insulating this homeowner's attic for home efficiency.
