What we walked into

This Wheaton home had that familiar old-house problem where nothing feels terrible on its own, but the whole house still feels off. The rooms were uncomfortable, the energy use was not helping, and the attic was clearly part of the story.

Poor insulation was the big issue. Once we got into it, the attic floor needed to be sealed up and brought up to a better level.

What we did

Koala Insulation of Chicago-West air sealed the attic floor and added insulation to bring it up to current code. That gave the home a much better chance to hold comfort in the living space below.
Air leaking through the attic is the kind of thing people live with for way too long.

Why it matters

When the attic floor is leaky and under-insulated, the house works harder than it should. You feel it in the temperature swings, and you usually see it on the energy bill too.

This kind of fix helps the home feel more even overall. Less drifting, less strain on the HVAC system, and less of that constant fighting the house does with itself.

What the homeowner said

The homeowner had a lot of good things to say about John and the crew. They mentioned that the team was professional, helpful, efficient, and clean, and that the house was left in better shape than when they arrived.

They also said John knew how to help maximize tax credits and lower overall costs, which is the kind of thing homeowners always appreciate. That part matters just as much as the install sometimes.

Wrapped up

The attic floor in this Wheaton home is now sealed and insulated the way it should be, and that should help the house feel better day to day. Call us or visit our website for a FREE evaluation!
