Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This Glenview homeowner was experiencing temperature swings, poor attic usability, and limited storage space—common issues caused by outdated insulation and vented attic conditions.

We completed a targeted attic upgrade designed to improve energy efficiency, home comfort, and usable storage space.

First, we carefully removed existing cellulose insulation only in the areas required to extend the attic decking, preserving the remaining insulation wherever possible.

Next, we converted the space into a SuperAttic system by installing 4" SilverGlo foam board along the roof rafters. The system was fully air sealed using Zyp Foam to create an airtight, conditioned attic. This approach helps reduce energy loss, improve indoor comfort year-round, and maintain proper roof ventilation by keeping the roof deck cold in winter.

Finally, we installed and extended attic decking to both the front and back of the attic, creating safe, functional storage space for the homeowner.

These homeowners in Glencoe, IL reached out to address their attic which was completely exposed with no insulation protecting from outside elements. 

Our team of professionals came in and installed Super Attic SilverGlo Wall panels. A trusted barrier that will now protect the attic from outside temperature fluctuation.  

Before and after photos of "wind washed" dirty black soot, a result of the air gaps from the framing to drywall and holes in the framing from electrical conduit penetrations on the fiberglass insulation in the attic, we were able to remedy this by sealing the attic floor around all top plates and electrical,  plumbing and HVAC penetrations. 

Super Attic

After homeowners discovered that their bathroom vents were blowing into the attic, which caused moisture and mold to form, our team installed two new roof vents. This prevents moisture from entering and mold from developing, making this a more comfortable home.
