Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This Gainesville VA home was designed with Cantilevers on several sides of the home.  "Cantilever - a long projecting beam or girder fixed at only one end, used in construction."  In this case it resulted in part of the home allowing external air and temperatures to come into the unfinished basement, impacting the air quality, energy control and general comfort of the home.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro went out to do a full home inspection and recommended having the cantilever areas filled and insulated with spray foam.  Spray foam helped to seal up the cantilevers and prevented external air and allergens from being able to enter the home.  It also helped to keep the inside of the home more comfortable.  

A roofing company contacted us to insulate a flat roof during the process of them replacing it. These pictures show the before and after of Comfenergy's portion of the project.

This Midland, VA homeowner was looking to find a way to make the top floor rooms on the back of the house warmer and less drafty in the winter. Upon a full evaluation by Comfenergy, we found the main culprit to be the cantilever on the back side of the house allowing cold air up under the floors on the back side of the house.

Comfenergy opened the rear cantilever to find almost no insulation whatsoever.  Plus there were no real rim joists to slow or stop the air from entering beneath the floors above. Comfenergy used SilverGlo foam boards to create a rim joist. We then used closed cell spray foam to air seal and insulate the cantilever.

The rooms on the back side of the house are nice and warm now!

This Ashburn, VA had rooms over the garage that were too hot in the summer.  This is can often be caused by fiberglass batts installed by the builder in the ceiling of the garage.  They fall away from the sub-flooring depleting all thermal insulating value.  This customer decided to remove the entire garage ceiling and use closed cell spray foam to fix the problem.

This home in Ashburn VA had several issues that the homeowner wanted to address, one of which was to make the upper level loft of the home more comfortable year round.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Eric determined that this could be done by improving the insulation in the attic.  While the attic already had some blown in cellulose insulation covering the attic floor, the walls of the attic were poorly treated and were allowing cold temperatures and air to move into the space.  Eric suggested adding another 6 inches of insulation and to have Silver Glo panels installed on the walls of the attic.  The panels were then air sealed with Zyp Foam to properly protect the space from unwanted air flow.
