Living in Beverly means dealing with the full force of Chicago’s seasons, from humid, sweltering summers to bone-chilling winters. Standard insulation often isn't enough to combat the thermal bridging common in older masonry and frame construction. We bridge the gap between historic charm and modern performance by installing cutting-edge insulation materials that improve indoor air quality, reduce noise pollution from the Metra lines, and alleviate the strain on your HVAC system. Our approach ensures your property remains durable, comfortable, and energy-efficient for decades to come.
Challenge: A 1920s brick home on Longwood Drive was suffering from severe heat loss and frozen pipes in the winter due to uninsulated wall cavities and a vented attic. Solution: We utilized non-invasive injection foam for the exterior walls to preserve the brick facade and applied closed-cell spray foam to the attic roof deck. Result: The homeowner reported a 30% reduction in heating costs during the first winter and the elimination of ice dam formation on the eaves.

For historic homes where preserving the original walls is crucial, retrofit injection foam or dense-pack cellulose is often best. These materials can be added to wall cavities through small holes that are easily patched, improving thermal performance without removing plaster or drywall.
Closed-cell spray foam is rigid and dense, which can actually enhance the structural integrity of a roof (racking strength) by gluing the deck to the rafters. It adds a layer of durability against high winds and heavy snow loads common in Chicago winters.
Yes, significantly. A poorly insulated attic allows radiant heat from the roof to penetrate your living space, forcing your AC to work overtime. Proper air sealing and insulation create a thermal barrier that keeps the hot air out, stabilizing indoor temperatures and reducing cooling costs.
Open-cell foam is lighter, expands more to fill cavities, and is excellent for sound dampening but is not a vapor barrier. Closed-cell foam is much denser, provides a higher R-value per inch, acts as a vapor retarder, and is water-resistant, making it ideal for basements and exterior walls.
Most residential projects, such as attic air sealing or basement rim joist insulation, are completed within one day. Larger whole-home retrofits or commercial roof coatings may take 2-3 days depending on the square footage and ease of access to the workspaces.
