Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Chicopee, MA called us hoping to get more insulation due to his high energy costs. He also had family members living in the basement that he suspected was poorly insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, she noticed that the basement had no insulation in it. This explains the fact that the floors upstairs would be very warm or very cold, depending on the season. 

We were able to help this customer out by insulating his basement. We specifically insulated the rim joist. That is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. We sprayed this rim joist with two-part expanding spray foam. This seals all air leaks in the rim joist from the outside and insulates this area of the home. It seals all of the cracks, gaps, and joints where air from the outside was entering the home. 

Now, this home will be temperature controlled and safe for years to come! 

This homeowner in Chicopee, MA called us when he realized that he needed better basement windows. Unfortunately, some of the windows in his home were missing or inefficient, meaning there was a lot of conditioned air being loss and even more outside air getting in.

Luckily for this homeowner, we were able to remedy this problem. We replaced his old and inefficient windows with our Everlast™ basement windows. These windows feature double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in or out of the glass. They also have vinyl frames and sashes -- meaning they will not rust, rot, or need paint. They are aesthetically pleasing as well! This homeowner now will have less air leakage and a more temperature controlled basement.

This homeowner in Chicopee, MA called us hoping to talk about replacing his bulkhead door. He thought it might need some concrete replacement, but he was not sure. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that it did need replacement concrete. At the evaluation, the homeowner expressed interest in replacing the inside door as well. 

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! 

This homeowner in Chicopee, MA called us stating that he wanted his attic properly insulated. He said he had very little attic insulation, and he needed more. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing 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 his home! 

This homeowner in Chicopee, MA reached out to us stating that he had water in his finished basement. To his knowledge, this had never happened in the 6 years he had owned the home, and he was very concerned. When he removed the floorboards in his finished basement, he found that there was standing water. He wanted to prevent all forms of water intrusion as soon as possible. When our Home Comfort Specialist met with the homeowners, he performed a full evaluation of the basement space. While there, he found evidence of prior water intrusion, including a mold problem they had. The bottom of the drywall had evidence of water damage as well. 

We were able to help this customer! We began by removing the old, concrete window wells. We then replaced them with our SunHouse™ window enclosures. They feature a white bottom that reflects natural light into the basement. They also have a clear cover that is both sturdy and fitted. This prevents rain and leaves from getting in to the window wells. Leaves had collected for years in the old wells, so this was a welcome change. Our SunHouse™ window enclosures are a beautiful addition to any home. Now, this homeowner is excited to have brand new window enclosures!
