Your Local Insulation Contractor

It is no mystery why insulation is so important to homes in Rochester, NY, as our winters here can be brutal. One thing that is a mystery is whether your home is fully insulated and keeping you protected. Lack of insulation can be detrimental to your home’s energy costs and a struggle in keeping your home warm during the cold winter months.

Areas of Your Home That Can Lack the Appropriate Insulation

It can be a dramatic surprise during a home inspection to find specific areas of your home that are not insulated properly or at all. But don’t worry, we have you covered. Here are some common areas of your home that might not provide efficient insulation:

Attic insulation
Basement Insulation
Crawl Space Insulation
Exterior Walls of your home

Benefits of Proper Placed Insulation

Older homes and even some newer ones have insulation, but they usually do not have enough. Graves Bros. offers insulation services that can completely transform your home in more ways than just keeping you warm and saving money in your pocket.

A properly installed insulation system offers immediate and long-term benefits throughout the seasons. It is vital to make sure your home is adequately insulated, specifically in the attic, because it will decrease your chances of mold growth, amongst other things.

When people think about home insulation, they think about staying warm in the winter and reducing their heating and cooling bills. Insulation does much more than that.

Protects your family and home from pests and drafts
Prevents moisture condensation
Enhances process performance
Increases the resale value of your home – Not something you can see, but potential buyers will see it noted on the listing, adding value to the purchase of their new home

Reduces noise levels – Most common in older homes, noise levels from outside are reduced by adding new insulation
Fire resistant
Reduces emissions of pollutants
Decrease your chance of mold growth – A properly insulated and ventilated attic can greatly reduce the chances of mold forming

Live in comfort knowing you will feel more secure about the money you saved with updated insulation

Adding Insulation to Your Home

To determine how much insulation you will need, first find out how much you already have and where it is in your home. A qualified home energy auditor from Graves Bros. can assist you with this process.

A home energy audit will not only include an insulation check of your entire house but also identify areas that require air sealing.

Types of Insulation Materials We Carry

Fiberglass

Typically fitted between the studs and beams already existing in your home. Relatively inexpensive insulation that is the most common and widely available.

Cellulose

Extremely small particles of fiber and foam that can fit between any space without interrupting any structure that already exists. Excellent form of insulation that fits where other insulation does not.

Spray-foam

Liquid foam materials that are sprayed or injected into walls, attic surfaces or even under the floors of your home. This has a great effect to insulate and reduce air leakage.

Our team goes through a granular process to make sure your new home is properly coated with the best insulation that fits your needs.

“I like to pass along a thank you to Shawn Dyson and his crew for our insulation and home services work. Right from the start Shawn met with us at our home, answered our questions as well as educated us about what Graves bros can do to help. Shawn responded to phone calls/texts as well as emails the same day and arrived as promised for scheduled visits. The crew showed up as promised on a cold windy day and worked professional from start to finish. I had the opportunity the second day to meet the crew and observe them in action as professionals and give them a thumbs up! I would also like to send a thank you out to Cullen & Briana who completed the final walk through and follow up process. Cullen & Briana arrived on time in clean Graves Bros. uniforms, energetic & happy, both also thanked us for using Graves Bros. Thank you again to Shawn, Cullen, Briana as well as the insulation crew for a job well done.”
