Improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home

Leading Edge retro-fit and air sealing insulation in homes increases the R-value and lowers utility costs. Many homes have insulation that is rotting, molding or underperforming due to factors such as invasive pests (raccoons, squirrels, bats, or mice), continued exposure to harsh weather conditions, and inferior workmanship during initial installation.

Why Retro-Fit and Air Sealing?

Damaged insulation can lead to high utility bills and poor air quality, not to mention unsightly stains or odors in the house. We can clean out your old insulation and replace it with:

  • Environmentally-friendly cellulose
  • Spray foam
  • Traditional fiberglass batt

Quality insulation and air sealing directly impacts the energy efficiency and comfort you experience. Our trained experts utilize the latest installation technology to fulfill all of your home’s insulation needs. Some of our other services include:

Technicians use non-toxic, environmentally friendly materials. Properly installed insulation and air sealing can reduce energy use and minimize carbon footprint.

Properly installed retro-fit insulation lasts for decades, typically 30–50 years, while maintaining its R-value and performance over time.

Both services help block sound transmission from outside and between rooms, creating a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment.

By sealing leaks and insulating walls, these services reduce condensation, limit mold growth, and protect building structures from moisture damage.

Retro-fit insulation and air sealing work in offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings, improving energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term operational costs.

By reducing air leaks and improving thermal performance, these services can help maintain consistent indoor temperatures and can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
