Insulation in Naperville, IL
Naperville’s crawl spaces and attics face a one-two punch: 15°F January lows that drive heat through every gap in the building envelope, and summer dew points in the upper 60s that push moisture into any unsealed void. Crawl space encapsulation and vapor barrier work in Naperville typically runs $9,000-$18,000 for a full system, and most homes built between 1985 and 2005 need it more than their owners realize. Those great-room colonials and brick-front two-stories along the Route 59 corridor were built to codes that now fall well short of what’s needed in Climate Zone 5.

Why Naperville Homes Are Different
Naperville’s building boom from roughly 1983 to 2005 blanketed south and west Naperville with large two-story colonials, brick-front executive homes, and great-room-centered floor plans. These houses went up under energy codes that typically allowed R-30 attics and R-13 walls. Today, IECC Climate Zone 5 recommends R-49 to R-60 in the attic. The gap shows up in February heating bills and July cooling loads, especially where cathedral great-room ceilings sit directly under asphalt shingles on the rear roofline.
We see the same defect in Naperville subdivisions week after week: cathedral ceiling cavities packed with compressed R-19 batts that leave the top third of the cavity empty. It’s invisible behind drywall, until ice dams form along the rear roofline every January and the first hard melt cycle pushes water into the soffits. Rim joists behind finished-basement drywall went uninsulated on nearly every 1990s build we’ve opened up in the Route 59 corridor. None of this is rare here. It’s the norm.
Naperville’s housing stock was built in a hurry, during a boom, to standards that were already dated. Homeowners who’ve been in the house ten or fifteen years are now replacing furnaces and noticing the rooms above the garage never hold temperature. That’s a thermal envelope problem, not an HVAC problem, and it’s fixable in a single visit in most cases.
Our Main Naperville Services
Two services dominate our Naperville schedule: attic insulation top-ups and air sealing for those 1990s colonials, and crawl space encapsulation for homes along the Route 59 corridor where seasonal moisture has been ignored for twenty years. Here’s what each involves.
Attic Insulation in Naperville
Attic jobs in Naperville almost always start with a depth check across the entire floor, because 1985-2005 builds routinely measure R-19 to R-30 where R-49 to R-60 is now the comfortable minimum. We air-seal the attic floor first, then blow new insulation to depth, and we stock Owens Corning and Johns Manville products so there’s no lead time on a true cold-weather emergency. Cathedral great rooms get special attention, because that’s where Naperville homeowners lose the most heat without knowing it. See our dedicated page for full pricing and process detail on Attic Insulation in Naperville.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Naperville
Naperville’s 1985-2005 housing stock put finished basements over dirt-floor crawls and then forgot about them. Summer dew points in the upper 60s drive moisture through the soil and into the floor framing, while January cold snaps create a warm-to-cold temperature gradient that pulls that moisture up through rim joists into the first floor. The result is a crawl space that sweats from May through September and a house that smells musty no matter how many plug-in deodorizers you try. A full Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier system ends that cycle by separating the house from the earth.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
Standing water or saturated soil after rain, visible condensation on foundation walls, and a persistent musty odor on the first floor. If the fiberglass batts between floor joists are drooping, they’ve been absorbing moisture.
What it costs in Naperville
A vapor barrier installation in Naperville runs $2,500-$5,000 depending on access and crawl depth, and this is the foundational layer for any full encapsulation.
How we do it
We remove standing water and debris, level any sharp points, lay a 10-mil or heavier reinforced barrier wall-to-wall, and mechanically fasten it up the foundation walls with the seams overlapped and taped. Every penetration at piers and posts gets sealed with tape and mastic.
Crawl Space Moisture Control
Signs you need it
Rust on the underside of the furnace, condensation on ducts, or visible efflorescence on the block foundation. High humidity in the crawl also shows up as swollen doors or cupped hardwood floors on the first level.
What it costs in Naperville
Moisture control measures like drainage matting, sump pump repair, or dehumidifier integration add $1,500-$4,000 to a Naperville crawl space job depending on scope.
How we do it
We diagnose the moisture source first, whether it’s groundwater seepage, condensation from uninsulated ducts, or outside air leaking through the rim band. Then we fix the source before sealing the space, so the barrier isn’t trapping water behind it.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Vapor barrier only | $2,500 - $5,000 |
| Full encapsulation system | $9,000 - $18,000 |
| Insulation replacement in crawl | $2,000 - $6,000 |
| Drainage or sump work | $1,500 - $4,000 |
Is crawl space encapsulation worth it in Naperville?
Yes. In a climate with January lows near 15°F and summer dew points in the upper 60s, an open crawl space pulls moisture into the house year-round. Encapsulation protects first-floor hardwood, prevents rim joist rot, and typically drops first-floor heating demand enough to notice on the next bill.
Can you encapsulate a crawl space in the winter in Naperville?
Yes. We encapsulate crawls year-round in Naperville, and winter is often the best time to catch the moisture pattern while the temperature difference is sharpest. Closed-cell foam on the rim band cures properly even in January cold, and most jobs finish in one visit. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free estimate.
Spray Foam Insulation in Naperville
Spray foam is the most effective fix for Naperville’s two most common leak points: the rim joist band behind finished-basement drywall and the cathedral great-room ceilings that were under-filled with compressed fiberglass in the 1990s. Closed-cell foam adds both R-value and an air and vapor barrier in a single pass. Most Spray Foam Insulation jobs in Naperville complete in one visit.
Rim Joist Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Cold first-floor floors above the garage or basement, persistent drafts at the base of exterior walls, and heat loss you can feel with your hand along the rim band in winter.
What it costs in Naperville
Rim joist spray foam in Naperville runs $1,500-$3,000 for a typical two-story home, depending on linear footage and access.
How we do it
We access each rim joist bay, clean the surface, and apply two-part closed-cell foam to the recommended depth for Climate Zone 5. Each bay gets a full seal so outside air stops moving into the floor system.
Garage Ceiling Spray Foam
Signs you need it
The room above the garage won’t hold temperature, cold air pours down from the garage ceiling, or the garage floor is consistently 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house in January.
What it costs in Naperville
Garage ceiling spray foam typically runs $2,000-$4,500 in Naperville for open-bay ceilings and standard attached two-car garage dimensions.
How we do it
We mask the area, apply the foam to the joist cavities from below, and leave a smooth, finished layer that air-seals the entire garage-house transition at once.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Rim joist spray foam | $1,500 - $3,000 |
| Garage ceiling spray foam | $2,000 - $4,500 |
| Cathedral ceiling spray foam | $3,000 - $7,000 |
| Spray foam roof deck | $5,000 - $12,000 |
Can you spray foam cathedral ceilings in Naperville in the winter?
Yes. Closed-cell spray foam cures at low temperatures, and we’ve foamed Naperville cathedral ceilings in every month of the year. Winter is actually a good time to diagnose ice damming, because the source is visible from the outside while it’s active.
Is spray foam safe for finished basements in Naperville?
Yes, when applied correctly and allowed to cure before the space is reoccupied. We schedule any spray foam work in Naperville finished basements with proper ventilation windows, and our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free estimate.
Blown-In Insulation in Naperville
Blown-in insulation is the fastest, cleanest way to bring a Naperville attic from 1985-2005-era R-30 up to R-49 or R-60 without disturbing finished spaces below. For the cathedral great rooms and attached-garage ceilings that dominate south and west Naperville, dense-packing beats tearing out drywall. Blown-In Insulation is usually done in a single morning, and we stock Owens Corning and GreenFiber products so there’s no waiting on material.
Blown-In Top-Up
Signs you need it
Visible joists in the attic floor, uneven insulation depth across the attic, or a depth check showing under R-38. In Naperville’s January cold, an under-insulated attic shows up as cold ceilings and roof melt patterns after two days of temperature swings.
What it costs in Naperville
A blown-in top-up in Naperville typically runs $1,200-$3,000 for a standard two-story home depending on target depth and attic size.
How we do it
We run depth markers across the attic, air-seal any penetrations we can access, and blow the product to a consistent R-49 to R-60 across the full floor. The whole process usually takes under four hours.
Dense-Pack Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms that won’t hold temperature on the north and west walls, drafty outlets on exterior walls, or ice damming that suggests heat is leaking through the wall cavities into the soffits.
What it costs in Naperville
Dense-pack wall insulation in Naperville runs $2,500-$8,000 depending on wall area and whether we’re drilling through interior drywall or exterior siding.
How we do it
We drill small access holes at each stud bay, feed a dense-pack hose to the bottom of the cavity, and fill to full density. Holes are sealed and patched clean, and the work is done from inside or outside depending on what’s accessible.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Blown-in top-up (attic) | $1,200 - $3,000 |
| Full attic blow-in | $2,500 - $5,500 |
| Dense-pack wall insulation | $2,500 - $8,000 |
| Blown-in fiberglass attic | $2,000 - $4,500 |
How much blown-in insulation do Naperville attics need?
Climate Zone 5 code recommends R-49 to R-60, which means roughly 16 to 20 inches of blown fiberglass or cellulose depending on the product. Most 1990s Naperville attics sit at R-30, so a top-up of 6 to 10 inches is the standard job.
Will blown-in insulation fix ice damming in Naperville?
Partially. Ice dams form when warm attic air melts roof snow from below, and deeper insulation reduces that heat transfer. But the air leaks underneath the insulation have to be sealed too. We recommend pairing any Naperville top-up with attic air sealing for a full fix. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free estimate.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Naperville
Naperville’s summer heat sits on the roof deck all afternoon, and the 1990s great-room colonials along the Route 59 corridor transfer that heat straight into the living space through under-insulated cathedral ceilings. A Radiant Barrier Installation adds a reflective layer that reduces radiant heat gain before it ever reaches the insulation. It’s an underused retrofit for a housing stock that struggles in both seasons.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Upstairs rooms that run 5 to 8 degrees warmer than the rest of the house on July afternoons, an air conditioner that short-cycles all day, or an attic that feels like a sauna any time after 10 a.m. in summer.
What it costs in Naperville
An attic radiant barrier in Naperville typically runs $1,500-$3,500 for a standard two-story attic, depending on roof geometry and access.
How we do it
We staple the foil face-down across the underside of the roof rafters, maintaining the ventilation gap at the ridge and soffits. The reflective surface sends radiant heat back toward the roof deck.
Radiant Barrier & Ventilation
Signs you need it
Ice damming at the rear roofline, high summer attic temperatures, or visible moisture on the underside of the roof deck in spring. Poor ventilation and bad insulation go hand-in-hand in Naperville’s cathedral-ceiling builds.
What it costs in Naperville
Radiant barrier paired with ventilation corrections in Naperville runs $2,000-$5,000 depending on how much soffit and ridge rework is needed.
How we do it
We verify airflow from soffit to ridge first, clear any blockages, and install the barrier without choking off the vent path. The goal is a roof deck that stays cool from reflection and dry from air movement.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Attic radiant barrier | $1,500 - $3,500 |
| Radiant barrier foil (materials + install) | $800 - $2,000 |
| Radiant barrier & ventilation | $2,000 - $5,000 |
| Radiant barrier roof deck | $3,000 - $6,500 |
Does radiant barrier help in Naperville’s winter?
A little, but it’s primarily a cooling-season product. The bigger winter benefit in Naperville comes from air sealing and deeper blown-in insulation. Radiant barrier earns its keep in July and August, when it cuts attic heat transfer noticeably.
Is radiant barrier worth it on a 1990s Naperville colonial?
Yes, if the cathedral great room overheats in summer and the attic space gets direct sun all day. South and west-facing roof slopes benefit most. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free attic assessment and an honest recommendation.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Naperville
Naperville’s 1980s and 1990s builds often hide insulation that’s now failing from the inside: rodent-soiled fiberglass, water-damaged batts from past roof leaks, or compressed cathedral-ceiling batts that never performed in the first place. Removal and replacement is the honest fix, and it clears the way for air sealing and proper depth work. Insulation Removal & Replacement is also the right move before any full attic restoration in Naperville.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Droppings, urine stains, or nesting evidence in the attic, a persistent rodent odor that comes through the second floor, or visible mold on fiberglass batts after a past roof or plumbing leak.
What it costs in Naperville
Contaminated insulation removal in Naperville runs $2,000-$5,000 depending on attic size and the extent of the contamination.
How we do it
We bag and remove all contaminated material with a HEPA-filtered vacuum running, sanitize the affected framing, and prepare the space for new insulation only after the contamination is fully out.
Insulation Replacement
Signs you need it
Attic insulation compressed to half its original depth, dark staining from moisture, or a home that was built before 1985 and still has the original insulation in the attic floor.
What it costs in Naperville
Full insulation replacement in a Naperville attic runs $3,000-$7,000 including removal and new blown-in to R-49 or R-60.
How we do it
We remove the old material, inspect the attic floor for air leaks and damage, seal penetrations, and then blow in new Owens Corning or Johns Manville product to full depth in one pass.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation removal | $1,500 - $4,000 |
| Contaminated insulation removal | $2,000 - $5,000 |
| Full insulation replacement | $3,000 - $7,000 |
| Vermiculite & old insulation removal | $3,500 - $9,000 |
How do I know if my Naperville attic insulation needs removal vs. top-up?
If it’s compressed, rodent-soiled, water-stained, or older than the house’s last major renovation, removal is usually the better call. A clean top-up over bad insulation buries the problem. We’ll tell you straight after a 15-minute attic inspection, and estimates are free.
Can you remove old insulation in the winter in Naperville?
Yes. Removal and replacement in Naperville works any time of year, and winter is fine because the attic work is done from inside or through the hatch. Scheduling in late fall actually gets you ahead of the January cold. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free estimate.
Attic Air Sealing in Naperville
Naperville’s builder-era homes leak air at predictable points: the attic floor over drop soffits, can lights, plumbing penetrations, and the garage-house transition. Air sealing the attic floor before adding insulation is the highest-return retrofit in a Naperville two-story colonial, because it stops the warm air that causes ice damming and the stack effect that pulls cold air in at the rim band. Attic Air Sealing typically pays for itself within two heating seasons.
Top Plate & Penetration Sealing
Signs you need it
Visible gaps around plumbing stacks or wiring chases in the attic, drafts at interior walls on the second floor, or frost on the underside of the roof deck in winter.
What it costs in Naperville
Top plate and penetration sealing in Naperville runs $800-$2,000 for a standard attic, usually bundled with attic prep before new insulation.
How we do it
We pull back any existing insulation, locate every penetration, and seal top plates, plumbing stacks, wire chases, and duct boots with foam and mastic. Then we re-lay or top-up the insulation.
Can Light & Duct Boot Sealing
Signs you need it
Recessed lights that are warm to the touch from below, dust streaks on the ceiling around can lights, or duct boots that wiggle and leak conditioned air into the attic.
What it costs in Naperville
Can light and duct boot sealing in Naperville runs $500-$1,500 depending on the number of fixtures and boots.
How we do it
We install rated covers or seal rated housings at each can light, and we seal every duct boot to the ceiling drywall with mastic and metal tape so conditioned air stops leaving the envelope.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Top plate & penetration sealing | $800 - $2,000 |
| Can light & duct boot sealing | $500 - $1,500 |
| Attic floor air sealing (full) | $1,200 - $3,000 |
| Attic hatch sealing | $200 - $600 |
How much of a difference does attic air sealing make in Naperville?
Measureable. We regularly see 15-25% reductions in heating energy use on Naperville homes after full attic air sealing combined with a top-up to R-49 or R-60. The air leaks are the bigger problem than the R-value shortfall on most 1990s builds.
Do I need air sealing before blown-in insulation in Naperville?
Yes. Blowing insulation over an unsealed attic floor buries the leak paths and makes future work harder. The correct order in Naperville is seal first, then insulate. We do both in one visit. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free estimate.
Wall Insulation in Naperville
Naperville’s 1985-2005 colonials were built with R-13 fiberglass in the walls, and many of those cavities were poorly installed from day one. The north and west walls lose heat all winter, and the upstairs bedrooms along the rear roofline feel like a different climate zone from the rest of the house. Wall Insulation retrofits are a bigger project than attic work, but they’re the only way to fix a cold room that never responds to thermostat changes.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Cold exterior walls in winter, drafty outlets, or a room that drops 5 degrees overnight while the rest of the house holds. Builder-era R-13 in Naperville is often compressed, gapped, or missing at the top of each cavity.
What it costs in Naperville
Drill and fill wall insulation in Naperville runs $2,500-$8,000 depending on total wall area and whether access is from inside or outside.
How we do it
We drill small holes at the top and bottom of each stud bay, feed a dense-pack hose through the cavity, and fill to full density. Holes are patched and painted to match, and the work takes one to two days for a typical two-story.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Older sections of Naperville with brick or stone veneer that can’t be drilled from outside, or walls with existing fiberglass that’s crumbled or settled. Injection foam fills without demo.
What it costs in Naperville
Injection foam wall insulation in Naperville runs $4,000-$12,000 depending on wall area and cavity complexity.
How we do it
We inject a slow-rise foam through small access holes in the wall, letting it expand to fill the cavity completely. It air-seals as it insulates, and the holes are sealed and touched up after.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Drill & fill wall insulation | $2,500 - $8,000 |
| Injection foam wall insulation | $4,000 - $12,000 |
| Exterior wall insulation | $6,000 - $18,000 |
| Interior wall soundproofing | $1,500 - $4,000 |
How do I know if my Naperville walls are under-insulated?
Infrared imaging during a home energy audit shows exactly which stud bays are missing or compressed insulation. We also check the wall cavity depth through an outlet opening. Most 1990s Naperville homes we test have gaps at the top of every cavity.
Can you insulate walls without tearing out drywall in Naperville?
Yes. Drill and fill and injection foam are both non-destructive retrofits that leave the drywall in place. The holes are small, patched, and painted to match. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free wall assessment.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Naperville
Naperville’s subdivision landscaping and mature tree canopy make attics easy targets for mice, squirrels, and the occasional raccoon. Once rodents nest in the attic, they soil the insulation and chew through wiring. Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing removes the contaminate, sanitizes the space, and closes every entry point, so the problem doesn’t come back next season.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
Scratching or scurrying sounds in the evening, droppings in the attic or along the soffit, or nesting material visible around the hatch. Naperville’s older subdivisions see the most rodent activity because the roof lines have more gaps.
What it costs in Naperville
Full attic cleanout in Naperville runs $1,500-$4,000 depending on attic size and how much contaminated material needs removal.
How we do it
We remove all contaminated insulation and debris, HEPA-vacuum the framing, and treat the space with a sanitizing agent. The attic is left clean and ready for new insulation, or rodent proofing if needed.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Recurring rodent activity despite trapping, chew marks on fascia or soffits, or gaps at the roofline that you can see from the ground. Rodents keep coming back because the entry points stay open.
What it costs in Naperville
Rodent proofing and exclusion in Naperville runs $800-$2,500 depending on how many entry points need sealing and what materials are required.
How we do it
We inspect every linear foot of the roof line, identify all entry points, and seal them with steel mesh, metal flashing, and foam where appropriate. The goal is structural exclusion, not repeated trapping.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Attic cleanout | $1,500 - $4,000 |
| Attic sanitizing & decontamination | $800 - $2,000 |
| Rodent proofing & exclusion | $800 - $2,500 |
| Attic restoration | $3,000 - $8,000 |
Does rodent proofing work forever in Naperville?
With proper exclusion, yes. The entry points we seal stay sealed, because we use steel and metal materials rodents can’t chew through. The key is finding every entry point, and our technicians inspect the full roof line before any sealing starts.
Do you need to remove insulation after rodents in Naperville?
Usually yes. Rodent-soiled insulation is a health hazard and loses its thermal performance. We remove it, sanitize, and replace with new material. Call (855) 657-3403 for a free attic inspection and honest scope.
Home Energy Audit in Naperville
For Naperville homes built between 1985 and 2005, a Home Energy Audit is the diagnostic starting point that makes every other service smarter. Blower door testing and thermal imaging show exactly where the heat is going, often revealing that the cathedral great room and the rim band are the two biggest leak sources. We use the audit results to build a targeted retrofit plan instead of guessing.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
High heating bills with no obvious culprit, rooms that never hold temperature, or a house that’s drafty even with new windows. Naperville homes from the boom era routinely test at high leakage rates.
What it costs in Naperville
A blower door test in Naperville runs $200-$500 as part of a full audit, and it’s the single most useful diagnostic for a 1990s home.
How we do it
We seal a calibrated fan into an exterior door, depressurize the house, and measure airflow. The number tells us how leaky the envelope is overall, and we can rank the leak sources in real time.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
Cold spots on walls or ceilings, condensation on windows, or unexplained temperature differences between rooms. Thermal imaging makes invisible air leaks and missing insulation visible.
What it costs in Naperville
A thermal imaging inspection in Naperville runs $300-$700 depending on home size and whether it’s combined with a blower door test.
How we do it
We scan every exterior wall, the attic floor, the rim band, and the cathedral ceilings with an infrared camera. The images show us exactly which cavities are empty, which are compressed, and where air is moving through the envelope.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Naperville
| Item | Typical range in Naperville |
|---|---|
| Blower door test | $200 - $500 |
| Thermal imaging inspection | $300 - $700 |
| Full home energy audit | $400 - $1,200 |
| Duct leakage test | $150 - $400 |
Is a home energy audit worth it for a Naperville home?
Yes, especially for 1985-2005 builds where the defects are consistent and predictable. The audit gives us a ranked punch list, so you know exactly what to fix first and what each fix will cost. We never recommend work the audit doesn’t support. Call (855) 657-3403 to schedule one.
How long does an energy audit take in Naperville?
Most audits take two to three hours for a standard Naperville two-story. You get a written report with thermal images, blower door numbers, and prioritized recommendations. The audit is diagnostic, not a sales pitch.

FAQs About Insulation in Naperville, IL
How quickly can you schedule insulation work in Naperville?
We can usually get an inspector out to a Naperville home within a few business days and start work once you approve the estimate. Most attic or wall insulation jobs finish in a single day, and crawl space or full-home projects typically take one or two days depending on access.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Naperville?
Standalone insulation work usually does not require its own permit in Naperville. Homes built between the 1980s and mid-2000s were often insulated to older code minimums, and current Illinois energy code calls for higher attic R-values, so a permitted renovation can trigger an insulation upgrade requirement.
How does your written estimate process work?
We inspect the attic, walls, or crawl space in person, measure the area, and note anything that affects access or cost before writing up a fixed, itemized estimate. You approve the price in writing before the crew is scheduled, and it does not change once work begins.
Do you serve areas outside Naperville?
We work throughout Naperville and the surrounding communities, so homeowners in nearby neighborhoods and towns can use the same crews, the same pricing, and the same written estimate process without needing to find a separate local contractor.
What happens to the old insulation you remove?
We remove old insulation completely before installing anything new, bagging it for disposal and treating material that shows signs of rodent activity, mold, or heavy contamination with extra care. Attics with vermiculite or heavily soiled material get additional containment steps before removal begins.

What Naperville Customers Say
"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."
- Yasmin Farah"Upstairs was ten degrees hotter than downstairs every summer. They pulled the attic to bare joists, air-sealed every can light and top plate first, then blew it to R-49. First August in this house where the bedrooms and the living room read the same on the thermostat."
