Complete Attic Restoration to Keep 2400 Sq. Ft. Home Comfortable in Fresno, CA
Matt contacted us because his house was constantly feeling cold during winter and then would get uncomfortably hot during the summer. He believed the issue was due to his insulation. With the rising cost of energy, he wanted to address the problem before summer came. We checked out his attic and found that he only had about 3-4 inches of insulation, as well as lots of roofing debris scattered throughout. We decided that a full attic restoration was just what he needed to keep his home comfortable and keep his heating and cooling costs low.
We began by sucking out all of the old insulation and disposing of it. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers at any potential entry points and sealed off holes, gaps, and cracks using closed-cell foam. This is done to help prevent air from flowing between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Once the attic was air-sealed, we then blew in new, premium fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches. This achieved the Energy Star-recommended R38 protection.
As a result of our comprehensive attic restoration, Matt and his family will enjoy lower heating and cooling costs by up to 30%, better indoor air quality, and a more comfortable home year-round for as long as they live there.
