Insulation in Elk Grove Village, IL
Crawl space encapsulation and vapor barrier work in Elk Grove Village tackles the persistent moisture problems that plague the village’s 1950s and 1960s ranch and split-level homes, where exposed dirt crawl spaces pull damp air into living areas year-round. Most homeowners call us after noticing musty odors, warped hardwood floors, or winter heating bills that seem disconnected from actual comfort.

Why Elk Grove Village Homes Are Different
Elk Grove Village residential neighborhoods were platted and built in a rapid, concentrated burst from roughly 1956 through the early 1970s. This produced a strikingly uniform stock of ranch-style and split-level homes, nearly all sharing the same era’s original fiberglass batt insulation. That insulation is now 50 to 65 years old, settled, and frequently moisture-compromised. Across entire blocks, the same failure patterns repeat: compressed batts in attics, voids in exterior wall cavities, and rim joists that were never sealed to begin with.
The village’s industrial park adds another layer. Elk Grove Village is home to one of the largest industrial parks in the United States, with hundreds of warehouses and distribution centers built under far weaker energy codes. Technicians working those buildings regularly open 1970s pre-engineered steel structures where the original fiberglass liner-system batts have peeled away from the metal deck and purlins, leaving large sections of the roof assembly completely uninsulated. It’s invisible from the outside but obvious the moment a tenant’s January gas bill arrives.
Climate matters here in ways homeowners in milder suburbs don’t face. Elk Grove Village sits fully exposed to the prevailing cold northwest winds that rake the area each winter, with annual heating degree days consistently above 6,000. Severe freeze-thaw cycling accelerates air infiltration through aging rim joists, attic bypasses, and kneewall gaps in the village’s split-levels. What looks like a minor thermal defect becomes a major heating cost driver by February.
Our Main Elk Grove Village Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Elk Grove Village homeowners, and both trace back to the same era of construction.
Attic Insulation in Elk Grove Village
Attics in Elk Grove Village ranches and split-levels were almost universally built with R-19 or thinner fiberglass batts, and after five to six decades of settling, winter heat pours straight through. We remove or top up that old material and bring the attic to current code levels.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Elk Grove Village
Crawl space encapsulation in Elk Grove Village usually starts with a homeowner investigating a musty smell in the back bedrooms or noticing that first-floor carpets feel damp on humid summer mornings. The village’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes sit on vented, dirt-floor crawl spaces that pull moisture up through the floor assembly, and the original fiberglass batts between floor joists have now absorbed decades of that damp. This is the job our Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier specialists handle more than any other in town.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
Standing water after rain, a general mustiness that never leaves, or first-floor rooms that feel clammy even with the air conditioner running are all signs the crawl space needs a vapor barrier.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Large crawl space vapor barrier projects in Elk Grove Village typically cost $1,200 to $2,500 depending on square footage and access.
How we do it
We pull back the old plastic if any exists, clean the dirt surface, and mechanically fasten a thick reinforced vapor liner across the floor with sealed seams, taped at every pier and column.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Signs you need it
Rust on ductwork or floor framing, insulation falling from between joists, or a heating bill that stays high no matter how much you seal windows and doors points to an open vented crawl space.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Full crawl space encapsulation in Elk Grove Village typically runs $5,000 to $3,5000, though larger or dirtier jobs in some of the older ranch blocks can push higher.
How we do it
We seal and close the foundation vents, line the floor and walls with a continuous vapor barrier, and condition the space with a dehumidifier sized to the square footage, turning the crawl into a dry, clean part of the home’s thermal envelope.
Crawl Space Moisture Control
Signs you need it
White chalky deposits on foundation walls, wood that feels soft to the touch, or visible condensation on pipes and ducts in the crawl are all moisture-control issues.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Standalone crawl space moisture control in Elk Grove Village, including dehumidifier installation, generally falls between $2,000 and $4,000.
How we do it
We diagnose the moisture source first, then install drainage where needed, seal leaks, and set a self-draining dehumidifier in place so the space stays dry without ongoing attention.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Vapor barrier (basic, 12 mil) | $5 to $8 per square foot at a minimum of $1,200 |
| Moisture control (with dehumidifier) | $2,000 to $4,000 |
| Full encapsulation | $5,000 to $3,5000 |
| Cleanout (standalone) | $800 to $1,500 |
Prices vary with square footage, access, and how much old debris needs to come out first. We give upfront pricing before any work starts, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every encapsulation project.
Is crawl space encapsulation worth it in Elk Grove Village?
Yes, especially for 1950s and 1960s ranch homes with vented dirt crawl spaces. Sealing the crawl cuts the moisture that migrates into the living space, which reduces heating demand, keeps hardwood floors from warping, and makes the entire first floor feel less clammy.
How long does encapsulation take in Elk Grove Village?
Most single-family Elk Grove Village crawl spaces are fully encapsulated in one visit, typically the same day if no major structural repair is needed. Larger or heavily obstructed jobs may run into a second morning.
Spray Foam Insulation in Elk Grove Village
Spray foam insulation in Elk Grove Village addresses the air leakage that splits heat like a sieve in the village’s 1960s and 1970s split-levels, especially around rim joists and knee walls that were never sealed. The cold northwest winds that hit the west-facing sides of these homes every winter make air sealing as important as the insulation itself. We use Spray Foam Insulation from Rockwool and Demilec because the material has to perform in exactly these conditions.
Rim Joist Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Cold floors in the winter, drafts sneaking in around baseboards on the main level, or repeated mouse activity in the basement all point to unsealed rim joists.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Rim joist spray foam in Elk Grove Village commonly runs $2 to $4 per board foot depending on the depth needed and whether we’re working around existing insulation.
How we do it
We remove any old batt material, clean the rim joist cavity, and apply closed-cell foam from the sill plate up past the subfloor, creating an air and moisture seal in one pass.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Ice dams forming along the eaves after snow, rooms over the garage that never warm up, or a roof deck that’s always wet in the attic are closed-cell candidates.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Closed-cell spray foam in Elk Grove Village generally runs $3 to $5 per board foot, and we stock Rockwool and Demilec products in the thicknesses local code requires.
How we do it
We cover vents, mask off the work area, apply the foam directly to the substrate, and trim it flush after curing so it’s ready for drywall or roofing as needed.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Open-cell spray foam | $1.50 to $2.50 per board foot |
| Closed-cell spray foam | $3 to $5 per board foot |
| Rim joist spray foam | $2 to $4 per board foot |
| Garage ceiling spray foam | $1.50 to $45 per board foot |
The biggest pricing variable in Elk Grove Village is access: ranch homes with open-joist basements are quick, while split-levels with finished ceilings over rim joists take more time and demolition.
Is spray foam worth the cost in Elk Grove Village?
For homes built in the 1950s through the early 1970s, spray foam pays back fastest at the rim joist, where it stops the air infiltration that causes most winter heat loss. The severe freeze-thaw cycling in this area makes the air-sealing benefit just as valuable as the R-value.
How long does spray foam take to install in Elk Grove Village?
Rim joist and small areas are one-visit jobs. Whole-roof-deck or garage-ceiling applications may run a second tank, but most Elk Grove Village residential projects complete within one working day.
Blown-In Insulation in Elk Grove Village
Blown-in insulation in Elk Grove Village is the most common fix for the settled and missing attic batts found in the village’s uniform stock of ranch and split-level homes built between 1956 and the early 1970s. When the original fiberglass has compressed to a third of its labeled depth, topping it off with blown-in material restores thermal resistance in a single visit. This is the Blown-In Insulation work we book most often between October and March.
Blown-In Top-Up
Signs you need it
Attic insulation below the tops of the ceiling joists, rooms over the garage that are notably colder in winter, or a furnace that runs longer than neighbors with newer homes.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Blown-in top-up in Elk Grove Village generally costs $1,500 to $3,500 depending on attic square footage and final depth.
How we do it
We blow stabilized fiberglass or cellulose to the target depth, making sure vents stay clear and no material blocks the soffits, then leave the attic with a consistent, measurable layer.
Blown-In Fiberglass
Signs you need it
Cold ceilings in winter, heat pouring into rooms upstairs in summer, or visible gaps in the existing attic layer where joists show through.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Blown-in fiberglass in Elk Grove Village runs $1.20 to $2.50 per square foot installed to code depth.
How we do it
We use Knauf or Johns Manville loose-fill fiberglass, calculate the bags needed for the target R-value, and bring the machine hose through the attic hatch to avoid dragging material through living spaces.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Blown-in top-up (existing attic) | $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot |
| Blown-in fiberglass (new fill) | $1.20 to $2.50 per square foot |
| Dense-pack wall insulation | $2.50 to $4 per square foot of wall |
| Attic full removal and re-blow | $2,500 to $5,000 |
Ceiling height, attic access, and whether old material needs to be pulled first are the main variables in Elk Grove Village. Every quote is fixed before we start, and most jobs finish the same day.
Should I blow insulation over old batts in Elk Grove Village?
Yes, in most ranch and split-level attics with dry, non-moldy existing batts, blowing over the top is faster and cheaper than removal. We confirm the existing material is dry and uncontaminated first so you’re not sealing in a problem.
How much blown-in insulation do I need in Elk Grove Village?
For attics in this climate, we target a minimum of R-49, which means roughly 16 to 18 inches of blown fiberglass. Local code takes the severe winter heating demand into account, and we’ll measure and quote to that.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Elk Grove Village
Radiant barrier installation in Elk Grove Village cuts the summer heat that turns ranch-home attics into 140-degree ovens by August. The village’s older homes weren’t built with roof-deck radiant barriers, so sunshine beats straight through the shingles and into the attic, where it forces the air conditioner to work far harder than it should. Our Radiant Barrier Installation work reflects that heat before it ever enters the living space.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Bedrooms that won’t cool down even with the air conditioning running, a furnace chase that’s warm to the touch in August, or a second floor that’s always 10 degrees warmer than the first.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Attic radiant barrier installation in Elk Grove Village typically runs $420 to $620 for an average ranch-style attic.
How we do it
We staple a reinforced foil barrier to the underside of the roof rafters, keeping a clear air gap so heat radiates back out instead of conducting through, and we work around vents and framing so airflow stays intact.
Radiant Barrier & Ventilation
Signs you need it
Attic temperatures consistently over 130 degrees, shingles that curl before their rated lifespan, or a ridge vent that seems to do nothing to cool the space.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Radiant barrier with ventilation upgrades in Elk Grove Village ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the attic’s size and the existing vent configuration.
How we do it
We assess the existing soffit and ridge venting, add intake or exhaust where it’s missing, then install the barrier so heat and moisture escape through the path we’ve built for them.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Attic radiant barrier (foil, rafter-mounted) | $420 to $620 |
| Radiant barrier with ventilation work | $1,500 to $4,000 |
| Roof deck radiant barrier | $420 to $620 |
Attic access and rafter spacing drive most of the variation. On the ranch homes that dominate Elk Grove Village, most radiant barrier jobs are single-visit, done in a morning.
Does a radiant barrier help in winter in Elk Grove Village?
Its biggest effect is summer heat rejection, but a rafter-mounted barrier also reduces radiant heat loss through the roof deck in winter. The year-round benefit is moderate, and we typically pair it with air sealing for full-season performance.
Will a radiant barrier replace attic insulation in Elk Grove Village?
No. A radiant barrier slows radiant heat gain; it doesn’t provide meaningful conductive insulation value. In Elk Grove Village homes, it’s a supplement to, not a substitute for, proper attic insulation.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Elk Grove Village
Insulation removal and replacement in Elk Grove Village usually becomes necessary when decades of moisture, rodents, or a roof leak have contaminated the original batt material. In the village’s 1950s and 1960s homes, the original fiberglass batts are often compacted, animal-soiled, and packed into attics that have never been cleaned since the home was built. Our Insulation Removal & Replacement work clears that out and starts fresh.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Visible animal droppings in the attic, dark stains spreading through the insulation, or an old roof leak that left material matted and compressed against the decking.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Attic insulation removal in Elk Grove Village generally runs $1,500 to $5,000 for average residential attics, with the higher end covering heavy contamination or difficult access.
How we do it
We remove the old material with a gas-powered vacuum that discharges outside, bag and haul everything away, and prep the attic for the new insulation layer you choose.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Steady rodent traffic in the attic, unexplained allergies that spike when the furnace runs, or a smell in the house that tracks the chimney chase and attic hatch.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Contaminated insulation removal in Elk Grove Village typically costs the same as standard removal at $1,500 to $5,000, with sanitation treatment adding $750 to $1,500.
How we do it
We remove the contaminated material under negative pressure, fog the attic with an enzyme sanitizer, and let it dry before any new insulation goes in.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation removal | $1,500 to $5,000 |
| Contaminated insulation removal | $1,500 to $5,000 |
| Vermiculite or old insulation removal | $2,500 to $5,000 |
| Insulation replacement (remove + re-blow) | $4,000 to $8,000 |
The price spreads wide because Elk Grove Village ranches are easier to vacuum out than split-levels with tight kneewall attics. We quote fixed before the first bag comes down.
How do I know if I need insulation removal or just a top-up in Elk Grove Village?
If the existing material is contaminated by rodents, mold, or roof leaks, or if it’s compressed and holding moisture, removal is the right call. Dry, intact batts can be blown over. We check for moisture and contamination before recommending anything.
Can you replace attic insulation in one day in Elk Grove Village?
Yes, most removal and replacement projects in standard ranch or split-level attics are completed in a single visit. Larger attics or heavy contamination may run a partial second day, which we’ll tell you before work starts.
Attic Air Sealing in Elk Grove Village
Attic air sealing in Elk Grove Village attacks the air leaks that let warm indoor air escape through ceilings and pull cold outdoor air through the rim joists and floor cracks in return. In the village’s split-levels especially, the top plates, can lights, and duct boots were never sealed when the homes were built, so each winter the stack effect keeps pulling conditioned air out of the house. Attic Air Sealing stops that cycle at its source.
Attic Floor Air Sealing
Signs you need it
Upstairs rooms that won’t hold heat, excessive dust collecting on the second floor, or a furnace that runs constantly on still, cold nights with no wind.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Attic floor air sealing in Elk Grove Village typically runs $1,007 to $2,500 depending on how many linear feet of top plates and penetrations need sealing, though comprehensive projects can hit $6,000.
How we do it
We excavate the insulation in the work zone, seal every top plate, chase, and penetration with foam or caulk, then re-blow or re-lay insulation over the sealed surface.
Can Light & Duct Boot Sealing
Signs you need it
Can lights that show a ring of dust around the trim, conditioned air escaping through recessed fixtures, or duct boots that rattle when the furnace kicks on.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Can light and duct boot sealing in Elk Grove Village runs $250 to $1,007 per fixture or boot depending on access and the number of units.
How we do it
We cover each fixture with an approved airtight cap or sealed housing, then seal the duct boot to the drywall with foam so air can’t bypass the ceiling plane.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Attic floor air sealing (average home) | $1,007 to $2,500 |
| Can light / duct boot sealing | $250 to $1,007 per fixture |
| Top plate and penetration sealing | $1,007 to $2,500 |
Elk Grove Village ranchers with accessible, low-slope attics are on the lower end, while split-levels with multiple ceiling planes and cathedral sections run higher. We quote fixed upfront, and most air sealing jobs finish in one day.
Why does air sealing matter more in Elk Grove Village than insulation alone?
Because the village’s homes were built before builders routinely sealed top plates and penetrations, and the winter stack effect is constant in this climate. Insulation stops conductive heat loss; air sealing stops the convective loss that moves heated air out and pulls cold air in.
Should I air seal before blowing new insulation in Elk Grove Village?
Always. Blowing insulation over unsealed penetrations hides the leak without fixing it. We complete air sealing first, then install the insulation, so both layers perform as they should.
Wall Insulation in Elk Grove Village
Wall insulation in Elk Grove Village is a recurring need because so many of the village’s ranch and split-level homes were built with uninsulated or minimally insulated exterior wall cavities. The original construction rarely included anything beyond a thin batt, and after 50 or 60 years, even that has settled away from the top plates. Our Wall Insulation work brings those cavities back to a functional thermal barrier.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Exterior walls that feel cold to the touch in winter, rooms along the north and west sides of the house that never match the thermostat setting, or high heating bills with no obvious attic problem.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Drill and fill wall insulation in Elk Grove Village generally runs $2.50 to $4 per square foot of wall area depending on the siding material and cavity depth.
How we do it
We drill small access holes through the siding or drywall, blow dense-pack fiberglass or cellulose into each cavity, then reset the plugs and patch so the finish looks untouched.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Wall cavities with old brick or block construction, stud bays with obstructions that block loose-fill, or walls where you need both insulation and air sealing in one product.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Injection foam wall insulation in Elk Grove Village runs $2.50 to $4 per square foot of wall area.
How we do it
We inject open-cell foam through small ports, letting it expand to fill the cavity and seal gaps, then trim and close each port so the wall is ready for finish work.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Drill & fill wall insulation | $2.50 to $4 per square foot |
| Injection foam wall insulation | $2.50 to $4 per square foot |
| Exterior wall insulation | $5,000 to $12,000 per home |
| Interior wall soundproofing | $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot |
The big variable in Elk Grove Village is siding: aluminum and vinyl are straightforward to drill and patch, while brick and stucco take more time. We quote fixed before cutting the first hole.
Do I need to remove drywall for wall insulation in Elk Grove Village?
No. Drill and fill and injection foam both access the cavities from outside or through small interior openings, so drywall stays intact in nearly every case. The process works especially well on the brick-sided ranch homes common in the village.
Can wall insulation fix cold rooms in a split-level Elk Grove Village home?
Often yes, especially on the lower level where the sill plate and rim joist leak air and the wall cavities were never insulated. We pair wall insulation with rim joist sealing for the rooms that need both.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Elk Grove Village
Attic cleaning and rodent proofing in Elk Grove Village deals with the mice and squirrels that find their way into the village’s older ranch and split-level attics through roofline gaps, vent openings, and unsealed soffits. The damage they leave behind – chewed wiring, soiled insulation, and nests packed into every corner – becomes a health and fire issue fast. Our Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing team removes the contamination and closes the entry points permanently.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
Scratching sounds at dawn or dusk, trails of droppings near the attic hatch, or blown-in insulation that’s flattened and packed with nesting material.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Attic cleanout in Elk Grove Village generally runs $2,000 to $4,500 depending on attic size and how much debris has accumulated.
How we do it
We vacuum out the old material, remove nests and debris by hand where the machines can’t reach, and haul everything off so the attic is empty and ready for air sealing or new insulation.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Recurring rodent activity after extermination, daylight visible through roof or soffit joints, or chewed insulation along the eaves and around vent pipes.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Rodent proofing and exclusion in Elk Grove Village runs $2,000 to $4,500 for a complete attic seal.
How we do it
We walk the entire roofline and foundation perimeter, seal every gap and penetration with steel mesh, foam, or flashing as the location requires, and install vent guards where animals are entering through the soffits.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Attic cleanout (debris and nesting) | $2,000 to $4,500 |
| Sanitizing and decontamination | $750 to $1,500 |
| Rodent proofing and exclusion | $2,000 to $4,500 |
| Attic restoration (full service) | $3,000 to $6,000 |
Elk Grove Village attics in ranch homes are faster to clean than split-levels with multiple cavities and kneewall spaces, so square footage matters less than geometry here. Every quote is fixed before we begin.
Can you get rodents out of an Elk Grove Village attic without trapping?
Exclusion is the long-term fix: sealing entry points so animals can’t re-enter, then cleaning out what they left behind. Trapping alone doesn’t work long-term because a new animal moves into the same entry point within weeks.
Does rodent proofing improve my insulation in Elk Grove Village?
Yes, because clean, uncompromised insulation performs far better than soiled, compressed material. We typically remove contaminated insulation, air seal, and then install fresh material so the attic functions as a complete system.
Home Energy Audit in Elk Grove Village
A home energy audit in Elk Grove Village pinpoints the exact reasons a home’s heating and cooling bills are high before any money goes into insulation. The village’s older ranch and split-level homes hide air leaks and thermal voids in predictable places, but only a blower door test and thermal imaging can map them precisely. Our Home Energy Audit gives you that map.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
Rooms that never match the thermostat, dust streaks around outlets on exterior walls, or a house that feels drafty even after new windows.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
A blower door test in Elk Grove Village, as part of a full audit, typically falls within the $250 to $500 range for a complete home energy audit.
How we do it
We mount a calibrated fan in an exterior door frame, depressurize the home, and measure exactly how many cubic feet of air escape per minute, which tells us how leaky the shell really is.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
Hot or cold spots on walls and ceilings, suspicious moisture patterns near the roofline, or areas where insulation was supposedly installed but the room still won’t stay comfortable.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Thermal imaging in Elk Grove Village, included in a full audit, costs within the same $250 to $500 full-audit range.
How we do it
We scan every wall, ceiling, and floor junction with an infrared camera while the blower door is running, so hidden insulation voids and air pathways show up as clear thermal signatures.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Full home energy audit (blower door + thermal) | $250 to $500 |
| Blower door test (standalone) | $250 to $500 |
| Thermal imaging inspection | $250 to $500 |
| Duct leakage test | $250 to $500 |
Audit pricing stays tight because the scope is standardized. The findings often save homeowners far more than the audit cost by prioritizing which jobs actually move the needle.
Is a home energy audit worth it before insulating in Elk Grove Village?
Yes, because it shows whether air sealing, attic insulation, or rim joist work should come first. Guessing wastes money; the audit gives us a ranked list so you spend where it matters most.
How long does an energy audit take in an Elk Grove Village ranch?
Most audits run two to three hours, including the blower door test, thermal scan, and duct leakage measurement. You’ll have a clear written summary before we leave.

What Elk Grove Village Customers Say
"The estimate had every line itemized - removal, sealing, baffles, the blown-in by the bag - and the final invoice matched it exactly. Two other companies quoted a single number and could not tell me what R-value they were installing."
- Priya Raman"Radiant barrier stapled to the rafters plus new baffles at the soffits. Attic temperature dropped enough that the AC runs noticeably less in the afternoon. Crew was in and out in a day and left the garage cleaner than they found it."
- Sam Kessler"Injection foam in the walls of our 1950s house - no drywall demolition, just small holes patched and painted the same day. The street noise in the front bedroom is half what it was."
