This homeowner in Simsbury, CT called us hoping that we could help her with her basement insulation. When we arrived at the home, we noticed that her home had a window well that was letting in water during the rain they had been experiencing recently.
We were able to help this homeowner in part by installing a SunHouse™ window enclosure. The SunHouse™ has a sturdy clear cover to keep rain and leaves out while allowing natural light to come in.
Now, this homeowner will be able to have the natural light she needs, without the rain coming in!
This homeowner in Simsbury, CT called us hoping to get her basement insulation done. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, he noticed that there was actually no insulation in the basement at all. The homeowners knew something needed to change -- their basement was perpetually cold, in part due to their exposed concrete basement walls.
We were able to help this customer. One of the solutions we utilized in her home was our Foamax polyisocyanurate foam insulation board. It is flame retardant and able to stay exposed if the homeowner wants it to. It even has a foil facing to reflect heat! Now, this homeowner will have a more comfortable basement and home!
These home owners in North Adams Mass had called us out for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons was a problem in their three season porch. In the winter time, the floor in that room was unbearably cold. To fix this we uses our 4" Silverglo underneath the three season porch. Silverglo is a foam board infused with graphite to bump up the R-value by 24%. In addition to the foam board we also air seal in between the Silverglo so no cold air can get into the floor joists and make this room cold. Now these home owners can enjoy there three season room all year round!
Our North Adams, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services after experiencing ice damming. She was concerned that they would cause leaking and damage in her attic. After one of our Home Comfort Specialists completed a free Home Energy Evaluation, we determined that her vented attic needed more sufficient insulation. Vented attics are hostile places (-30°F in the winter and 125°F in the summer). Heat from the house in the attic melts snow on the roof where it refreezes at the eaves causing destructive ice damming. After installing this SuperAttic™ Advanced Conversion system in our customer's home, she not longer has a hostile environment in her attic that will cause ice damming. She also has a less drafty, more energy efficient home. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
When our North Adams, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to help make his attic more energy efficient, we were happy to help. One improvement we made was to install an exclusive "David Lewis Hatch Cover™" (named for the engineer who developed it). This hatch cover rests right over the pull-down stairs. It stops air leakage and insulates over the stairs. Made of lightweight SilverGlo™ foam insulation, you just lift it aside to go up into your attic, and set it back in place when you leave. SilverGlo™ foam insulation has graphite infused into the foam which bumps up the insulation value by 24% over standard EPS foam. It also has a radiant barrier (foil) on the flat lid to reflect heat back in during winter and out in the summer, so the insulation isn't doing all the work by itself. Now our happy customer has a tighter, more comfortable, less drafty home. He'll notice a much more comfortable temperature year-round and lower energy bills. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
