She liked the sound of that and gave us the go ahead to get started. 

AirSealing involves filling any cracks or gaps in the space. Our crew went up to the attic and removed anything that was in there to get down to the attic plane.

The homeowner was impressed by our crew's professionalism, expertise, and cleanliness. She is so glad her home is no longer losing conditioned air out of any crevices in the attic floor.

Ailene, a homeowner in Parma Heights, OH, was having trouble maintaining temperatures throughout the home. She figured this was an insulation problem and called our office to schedule a free estimate. The energy consultant met with her and assessed the whole home. The walls were coming back fine insulation-wise, but when he climbed into the attic, that was a different story. There was a very low amount of insulation on the floor of the attic that was not even enough to block outside air. He sat down with Ailene and explained we could extract all the old insulation to add high R-Value using TruSoft cellulose and air seal to repair this under-insulation problem. 

On project day, the installers sucked out all of the old insulation so that they could air seal any cracks and gaps. Then, by using a spray foam-type product, they air sealed any recess lighting and gaps in the floor joists. Finally, they blew-in TruSoft cellulose at R-49 to cover the attic floor with a consistent, dense blanket of insulation. Together, these insulation solutions will keep the home temperature controlled for Ailene! 

A homeowner in Cleveland, OH contacted us for a free in-home inspection on their very old attic. They believed that this space was causing increasing bills and polarizing temperatures in the house. Upon inspection, the energy consultant found very little insulation. The very sparse rolled fiberglass that was there was extremely old and dusty. The consultant sat with the homeowner and explained we could extract and re-insulate to transform the attic into a healthy space again. They couldn't wait to get the work done! 

On the day of installation, the crew began by taking the old insulation out by hand. This tedious process is a very important start because it rids of moldy, dirty insulation, therefore increasing the air quality in the attic. After this, the installers used a specialized blower machine to evenly spread TruSoft cellulose across the floor. TruSoft is an eco-friendly, fire and mold-resistant product that will not settle over time like traditional products. With a high R-Level of R49, this attic will now work properly to shield the home from outside air! The homeowner couldn't believe the difference look and feel-wise of his attic after installation.

Then, they installed the TiteShell recessed light fixture cover over the top of the can lights. This sealed the drafty lights so that cold air wouldn't leak into the living space of the home. Finally, they blew-in TruSoft cellulose at an R49 level. TruSoft is a highly dense product that won't settle like other traditional products while also being mold and fire resistant!

A homeowner in Brooklyn, OH was concerned with energy savings. Every month, the heating and cooling bills would continue to rise. The customer wanted a permanent solution to this energy-efficiency issue and knew it started with the insulation in his home. He had one of our energy consultants out to assess what the home needed to be fully insulated. After the thorough inspection, the customer was set up with an install date to get the work done in one easy installation day. 

On the day of the project, the wall crew started by drilling small, 3/4" holes between the mortar joint. This was to allow a way for RetroFoam injection foam to be inserted into the wall cavity from the exterior brick siding. RetroFoam is an innovative insulation solution that comes out like shaving cream, fills every nook and cranny, and then cures inside the wall for an air tight seal. No remodel is needed and once done, the installers re-mortar the siding to hide the appearance we were ever there! RetroFoam is a high R-Value insulation that will not settle in the wall like tradition wall insulation. 

While that was being done, the attic crew worked to insulate the space with Knauf fiberglass. There was about 5,595 board feet of attic area needing insulated so the installers used a specialized blower machine to break up the fiberglass across the floor. Knauf fiberglass is densely packed, mold and fire-resistant to create a safe and insulated attic. Installers made sure to spread the fiberglass evenly across the attic floor for full coverage. Now this customer's home is fully insulated with the best products on the market!

A homeowner in Lyndhurst, OH was looking to get new insulation in his home. In the winter and summer months, the polarizing temperatures was causing discomfort and high utility bills. He found that Primary Home Improvements could provide a detailed, free estimate. He called into our office and was quickly scheduled with a free estimate. The energy consultant, Bert, arrived a few days later and climbed into the attic. He found that the only insulation on the attic floor was rolled, pink fiberglass. This type of insulation may be a cheap, DIY insulation but it did not provide enough R-Value to be effective. R-value is the measurement of how well a product can resist heat flow. This rolled fiberglass was flattened and dirty, so there was very little to block drafts from getting through. Bert sat with the customer and explained we could clean up his attic, air seal it and re-insulate with an insulation that will protect the home from air infiltration. The homeowner was looking forward to their project being done! 

On the day of install, the attic crew arrived and started by removing the old insulation and debris. By extracting the old material, they made room for air sealing to be done. They then air sealed the gaps and cracks along the floor of the attic. This acts as an extra layer of protection against unwanted drafts. Then, they used a specialized blower machine to insulate the attic with TruSoft cellulose. TruSoft is mold and fire resistant as well as high in R-Value. This customer went from having almost no insulation, to R-49. The homeowner was shocked at the difference this insulation made at controlling the inside temperature of the house and that the project was done in only one day!

Primary Home Improvements offers free in home estimates and can use thermal imaging to perform energy audits.

The energy consultant met with the homeowner and made sure to thermal scan her walls and attic space. The trouble was coming from both the walls and attic. The thermal imaging gun was showing that the walls were loosing air. On the other hand, the R-Value in the attic was extremely low due to severely degraded, old insulation that wasn't doing the job. The energy consultant sat down with the homeowner and explained that we could transform her whole home in one-installation day in order to fully insulate it. She was looking forward to getting the project done! 

On the day of the install, the crews arrived to get started. The wall insulation installers began to inject RetroFoam injection foam in between the mortar of the brick exterior.

Once done insulating, the crew color matches the mortar and re-mortars. RetroFoam hardens in the wall in 48 hours and will not settle in the walls like traditional insulation. 

The attic crew was also working to insulate the home and began by air sealing the cracks and gaps in the attic. This spray foam product was installed on the rim joists to prevent moisture and air infiltration. Then, they blew-in TruSoft cellulose at and R-49 level across the entire attic floor. TruSoft is a mold resistant, densely packed cellulose that will keep it's form over time. The homeowner was shocked at the different TruSoft and RetroFoam made to her home and utility bills!
