Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This is a before and after of an attic which has been freshly insulated with blow-in TruSoft insulation. 

This Arlington, VA homeowner was remodeling their home and wanted to use spray foam for their basement. Comfenergy recommended a closed cell spray foam without a thermal barrier for this project.  This type of spray foam was used for its ability to be a vapor barrier.  Also, the spray foam was being covered up by drywall, so there was no need for a thermal barrier.

This Arlington VA home has a design feature commonly referred to as a cantilever, where a portion of the home hangs out wider than the rooms below it leaving open air at the lowest point of the floor.  If that flooring is not insulated, the external air temperatures can impact the living space inside of the home.  Pictured here you can see Ariel Campos removing the external base of the cantilever and applying spray foam inside to act as insulation.  This will keep outside temperatures from impacting the home and will contribute to a more comfortable living space.  

This Arlington VA home had a large cantilever extending beyond the footprint of the foundation.  A cantilever can add square footage for upper floors compared to the foundational floor by extending outward but the design often leaves homeowners experiencing comfort issues.  An uninsulated or unsealed cantilever can allow external air and temperatures to come in through the rim joists of the home and will often result in colder or hotter than wanted floors.  We remove the panels framing the bottom of the cantilever and use spray foam to seal up and insulate.  

This home was looking to make the top floor more comfortable AND lower their utiltiy bills....all with one solution!!!
