Challenge
This home owner in Dalton, MA called us us back out after we completed a project on her attic and knee walls. The reason she had us come out to her home this time was to insulate her porch. She wants to be able to use this space for an office sense it already has a heat source.
Solution
First thing we had to do was rip down the old drop down ceiling. After that we made a new ceiling by putting up Sheetrock on the ceiling. Then we air sealed and insulated the attic space above the new ceiling. After that we taped the sheet rock with 3 coats of compound. Now this room is insulated and looks even better with a new ceiling. This space is now ready to be a office for this happy home owner!
