Mrs. Shaw reached out to Fortenberry Roofing Co. due to her soaring energy bill and an air conditioning system that seemed to run non-stop. Despite installing solar panels to offset costs, she wasn't seeing any savings. To address her concerns, Miguel from Fortenberry Roofing scheduled a complimentary attic inspection to identify the root of the problem. Upon assessment, he pinpointed key issues and quickly organized a skilled crew to implement the necessary solutions. 

Crew leader Leo V. and Technician Hector, the team installed an average of 6 inches of high quality cellulose insulation in the main living areas, achieving the optimal R-38 insulation value. Leo also addressed previously installed can light covers that were improperly fitted, ensuring they were securely replaced. In the garage, the crew added an average of 3 inches of cellulose insulation, also reaching the target R-38 Value.

Hector had a crucial role sealing open areas with Silver Glo insulation and applying fire-retardant foam to enhance air sealing throughout the space. 

Mrs. Shaw was delighted to feel significant improvement in her home's comfort levels. She was relieved and satisfied that she chose Fortenberry Roofing Company to meet her roofing and insulation needs. 

This cozy, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been facing unusually high energy bills. The homeowner, Peter, reached out to Fortenberry Roofing to assess the attic and evaluate the condition of the insulation. During the inspection, we identified deteriorating insulation. Our team conducted a thorough walk-through of the attic, measuring specific areas that could be contributing to inadequate air sealing.

We discovered sections of insulation that did not meet the required R-value standards, which are critical for minimizing heat transfer. Additionally, we found areas where the insulation was less than 2 inches thick. This deficiency in insulation is a primary factor contributing to the inefficient regulation of indoor temperatures, allowing hot and cold air to enter and escape the home.

To address these issues, we added 8 inches of cellulose insulation, bringing the total insulation to the recommended 10 inches. This upgrade ensures the attic now meets the required R-value range of 12-38, significantly improving the home's energy efficiency. After completing the inspection and installation, our team met with Peter to discuss our findings and the steps taken to ensure his home is properly insulated moving forward.
