Revitalizing an Inefficient Attic for Maximum Comfort in Oakhurst, CA
Katherine contacted us looking for a solution to her home’s inconsistent temperatures and subpar air quality. Upon inspecting her attic, we discovered the primary issue: it had only four inches of outdated fiberglass insulation that was no longer providing adequate thermal protection. To enhance her home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort, we recommended a complete attic restoration.
We carried out the following steps to restore the attic:
- Extracted and disposed of the old, deteriorating fiberglass insulation.
- Sealed air leaks throughout the attic using closed-cell foam, targeting areas such as top plates, vents, recessed lighting, smoke detectors, and plumbing and wiring openings.
- Thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the attic to eliminate pollutants, allergens, and lingering odors, promoting a healthier indoor environment.
- Installed rodent-proof barriers at vulnerable entry points to deter future infestations.
- Applied high-quality fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, significantly enhancing the attic’s heat retention capabilities.
- Provided Katherine with before-and-after photos to illustrate the transformation.
- Informed Katherine about our 6-month rodent re-entry warranty for added assurance.
As a result of this attic restoration, Katherine’s home will now maintain a more consistent temperature year-round, reducing the workload on her HVAC system. She will experience better indoor air quality, decreased energy expenses, and a noticeably more comfortable living space for years to come.
