Fogarty's Home Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us for an estimate on finishing their garage. They decided to move forward with our Total Basement Finishing services. So, we design the layout with the homeowner, and got started.

To start this project, we removed all of the sheet rock, paint, and fiberglass from this garage. Now, we are ready for our installation! We take our patented, non organic material and customize it to fit the size of this garage. This non-organic material is waterproof, and will never rot or mold like wood could! We install our Everlast wall panels with insulation boards on the inside, on to the wall and we are all set!

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner has a beautiful, waterproof garage!

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA called us out to their home for an estimate on updating their attic insulation. This home had very inefficient fiberglass insulation without air any sealing in their attic. This can result in major heat and air loss, high heating and cooling bills, and more!

We first removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials. Next, we seal up all top plates, end plates, and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. Finally, we blow our TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps. Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner is happier, will be warmer, and is living more energy efficient!

This Homeowner Called us out to her home to update their attic insulation. They were experiencing ice damming on the roof. Some spots were too hot and others were too cold. This home was insulated with old fiberglass insulation.

We removed the old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic. We install our blocks of Silverglo foam insulation board between the ceiling joist bays, and under the rafters. We air seal around the blocks with foam. Air is no longer able to enter and escape out of the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home is more comfortable, energy- efficient, and no longer has snow melt!

In order to make this home more comfortable, Fogarty's Home Services had to perform numerous tasks. First, remove the insulation from the attic and vacuum it. It was unpleasant but necessary to remove the damaged, soiled insulation from the homeowners' attic. This step allows the attic to be properly air-sealed before installing our clean, fresh, high-quality Trusoft cellulose insulation. The SilverGlo foam insulation panel was used to air-seal and insulate the scuttle cover. During the summer, the radiant barrier on top will reflect heat from the attic. A scuttle cover that is insulated makes your home easier to heat, thereby reducing your utility bills. By replacing the ineffective bath fan with a Broan Ultra Pro Fan, we were able to prevent mold growth, excessive moisture, and lingering odors. You'll save money on your electric bills with this fan as it's incredibly quiet, keeps your room dry, and improves the air quality in your home. An air-sealing chimney wrap is required to properly seal the chimney in the attic. It's probably a mystery to you what a chimney wrap is. The chimney wrap eliminates all gaps in the insulation around your chimney and seals one of your home's biggest air leaks. As soon as we complete the above installations, we can install TruSoft Cellulose insulation in the attic to keep it from getting burned, moldy, or attracting pests. The blown insulation fills all gaps and odd shapes, and it prevents thermal bridging by covering framing members. This is how we fixed the uncomfortable house by making it less drafty and lowering fuel and electric bills.

This Pittsfield homeowner contacted Fogarty's Home Services because his home was experiencing excess moisture and drafts. When we completed our Free Home Energy Evaluation, we found that there was open air space around the chimney in the attic. The building code requires that no combustible materials, including wood framing and insulation, be within 2" of a masonry chimney. This has left millions of homes, just like this one, with an airspace from the basement or crawl space right to the attic. Air that homeowners paid to heat their homes is continually leaking out to the vented attic, where it is lost. This results in a more drafty, uncomfortable home that's harder to heat, with higher energy bills. To solve this problem for our homeowner, Fogarty's Home Services flashed the space between the wood framing and masonry with metal and then sealed it airtight with special high-temperature fire caulk. Then, completely fireproof "Rock Wool" insulation panels were installed around the chimney so that TruSoft™ cellulose insulation could be blown against the chimney. "Chimney Wrap" was installed because it leaves no gaps in the insulation around the chimney, and seals one of the biggest air leaks in the home. This happy customer will now experience lower air leakage in the home, less heat loss, a more comfortable temperature and moisture level in the home, and lower energy bills.
