Attic Insulation in Newark, NJ
Newark has a large stock of older housing, including many two- and three-family houses. In a building with several households under one roof, the top floor often carries the heat loss through the attic.
We measure what is there, seal the leaks at the ceiling, set baffles and add insulation to R-49 to R-60. For multi-unit houses we plan access with the owner and the tenants.
Serving Newark and all of Essex County. Licensed NJ home improvement contractor (HIC #13VH14187700). Call (551) 227-2070 or book a free insulation assessment.
Multi-unit houses
A thin attic over the top unit shows up as cold rooms, uneven heating between floors and sometimes ice dams at the eaves. Treating the attic once, for the whole building, is usually more effective than patching complaints one apartment at a time.
Cost
Attic work is priced by the square foot of attic floor, with basic air sealing included. Removal of old insulation is priced separately.
