Total Makeover of the Attic with Blown-In Cellulose Insulation in Colts Neck, NJ

After our Little Rascals team had safely removed a raccoon that had infested this homeowner attic in Colts Neck, NJ, we're here to remove all of the contaminated insulation and add some new and efficient Trusoft blown-in cellulose insulation.

First, we removed and carefully disposed of all the contaminated insulation and then disinfected the attic. Afterward, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic, which will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic. This will greatly improve energy efficiency. For the recessed lights in the attic we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over them. These are made out of a fire resistant material and is specifically designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights.

We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic and added over 12 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. Not only does this fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels, but TruSoft insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings. After adding TruSoft, we installed several SilverGlo™ borders. This will prevent the insulation from overflowing onto the attic floor and makes the attic look more organized.
