Fogarty's Home Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Holland, MA called us hoping to be able to talk about her basement. She wanted to have her basement mold looked at. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the basement was attached to multiple crawl spaces. Additionally, the basement and crawl spaces were very poorly insulated. This explained some of the humidity, mold, and comfort issues the homeowners were experiencing. 

We were able to help this customer! One of the solutions we utilized was our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system. We first insulated the walls using our SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over that insulation. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. We then added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist to ensure that the crawl space was covered. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home! 

This homeowner in Holland, MA approached us at a home show years prior to her basement finishing project while she was still in the planning phase. She wanted to finish half of her basement and was hoping to get some pricing. A few years later, they reached back out to begin their project. They wanted to have a comfortable space for their family to spend time in. 

We were able to help this customer! First, we handled the demolition and cleared out the old insulation before installing fresh, energy-efficient insulation. From there, we framed the rooms, ran the electrical and plumbing, and installed our brand new gray Everlast™ wall panels. We finished the stairwell, and for the floors, we installed with our ThermalDry™ elite plank flooring in the color "gray". We installed a clean drop ceiling with recessed lighting throughout. After wrapping up the final details, the project was complete, and the family is so excited to enjoy their gorgeous new space!

Insulating Rim Joints and Crawl Space Ceiling In Ashford, CT

This homeowner in Ashford, CT was creating a studio above his garage that he could use all year round. 

We attached our Insulweb polypropylene netting to joists on the ceiling and walls, this creates a cavity for our TruSoft cellulose to be installed in. Once in place, we cut small slits in the Insulweb that we can then insert a hose into to densely pack in our Trusoft cellulose. For these dormers, we also installed our Foamax Polyiso board in the triangular wall space above the window and sealed around them to keep drafts out.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this studio can stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer and is ready to be finished off with drywall if the homeowner decides to later on.

This homeowner in North Windham, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her home. She was living in a mobile home, and several leaks occurred. Her remediation company informed her that the insulation underneath the mobile home got wet and damaged. Additionally, several places were cut in the remediation process. She wanted this insulation removed and replaced as soon as possible. This was complicated by the fact that this was her summer home, and she was looking to leave a few weeks later. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, SilverGlo™ foam insulation board is installed across the bottom of the floor joists with special long screws and 3” washers, SilverGlo™ is expanded polystyrene foam with graphite infused into the foam, which bumps up the insulation (“R”) value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Further, SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier to reflect heat, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. All seams are sealed. If necessary a skirt board can be installed around the perimeter of the insulation so the edge is not visible. The skirt board may require painting after we are complete. Result - Much warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms, quieter home, lower fuel and electric bills.
