Insulation Contractors in Woodbury, MN
Woodbury has taken a large share of the east metro's newer building, and newer houses here fail differently from older ones.
Built to Code Is Built to a Minimum
A newer Woodbury house is rarely short of insulation. It is short of air sealing, because code sets a floor rather than a target and a house can meet it while still leaking conditioned air continuously through the ceiling plane. When a recently built house has a room that never holds temperature, the envelope is usually the cause rather than the furnace.
Attached Garages and Bonus Rooms
The room above an attached garage is the most common comfort complaint in houses of this type. It sits over an unconditioned, often uninsulated space with cold air on more sides than any other room in the building. Treating it properly means the garage ceiling, the kneewalls and the ceiling above, not just whichever one is easiest to reach.
New Construction Is the Cheapest Moment
If a house is being framed or an addition is going up, the walls and roof line are reachable exactly once. Open cell foam air seals the cavity as it fills it, which a batt cannot do, and foam at the roof line brings the attic inside the envelope so ductwork up there stops running through unconditioned space. We work to the framing and drywall schedule.
Questions
Common questions
Do you cover Woodbury and the east metro?
Yes, Woodbury and the surrounding Washington County communities are inside the regular service area.
Our house is only a few years old. Why is one room always cold?
Usually air movement through the envelope, or a room sitting over an unconditioned garage, rather than the heating equipment.
Can you insulate the ceiling above an attached garage?
Yes, and on a bonus-room complaint it is usually part of the answer rather than the whole of it.
