Spray foam insulation in Charlotte, North Carolina

Two very different jobs under one city name. In Dilworth, Myers Park and Plaza Midwood the houses are old enough to have little or no wall insulation and plenty of knob-and-tube surprises in the attic. The post-1990 subdivisions are tight by comparison but almost all of them put the air handler and duct runs in a vented attic, which is where the summer complaint comes from.

Where the ductwork runs predicts the right answer here more reliably than the age of the house does. Anything built in this area from the nineties onward almost certainly has the air handler and the duct runs in a vented attic, and on a July afternoon that space sits far above the temperature the equipment was sized for. Sealing the roof deck brings that attic inside the conditioned envelope and is the fix that actually changes how the upstairs feels. Older properties are a different problem: little or nothing in the walls, original attic material that has settled well below code depth, and in the mill-era neighborhoods the real possibility of knob-and-tube wiring that an electrician has to clear before insulation goes anywhere near it. A blower door reading and an hour in the attic settle which house you have, and both belong before a quote rather than after one.

Comfort problems and insulation questions do not keep to business hours. Calls to Charlotte are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, weekends and holidays included.
