Insulation Services

Thermal Envelope Solutions

Chicago homes face extreme temperature swings—from subzero winters to humid summers—making proper insulation essential for both comfort and energy costs. Inadequate insulation lets conditioned air escape through attics, walls, and crawl spaces, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and driving up utility bills by 15-20%. A complete thermal envelope eliminates these losses while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures year-round.

We install spray foam, blown-in cellulose, fiberglass batts, and rockwool depending on the application. Closed-cell spray foam delivers the highest R-value at R-7 per inch and creates an air-tight seal—ideal for rim joists and cathedral ceilings. Blown-in insulation fills irregular cavities and is perfect for retrofitting existing homes without major construction. Batt insulation works well for new construction framing where stud spacing is consistent.

Proper insulation is about more than just material—it requires correct installation, air sealing, and vapor barrier placement to prevent moisture problems. We evaluate your existing thermal envelope, identify air leakage points, and recommend the right combination of materials for your specific construction and budget. The result is a home that stays comfortable with lower energy costs for decades.
