Visit and quote

We measure the attic, check the basement and rim joist, and look at any outbuildings. Each area is priced on its own line.

Dense-pack walls

For older frame houses with hollow walls, we drill small holes, blow cellulose into each cavity at high density, and plug and patch the holes.

Scheduling

Attic work is usually a single day. Foam needs 24 hours or more to cure.

Two seasons

Sterling's hot summers and cold winters both find the leaks in an older house. Sealing the attic and the rim joist helps in both seasons.

Comparing quotes

Ask each insulation company for material, depth and R-value by area so the bids line up.

Near the college

Houses near Sterling College include older family homes and rentals for students and staff. Air sealing the attic and the rim joist makes those older houses easier to heat and cool, and the work is done in a day or two without disturbing the rooms below much.
