Open-Wall & Drill-and-Fill for Jersey City homes
Plenty of Jersey City frame houses, especially older two- and three-family homes, have exterior walls with little or no insulation inside them. Those walls feel cold to the touch in January, and the rooms behind them never quite get comfortable.
If your walls are open, we install fiberglass or mineral wool batts cut precisely to fit, or spray foam for maximum performance. If the walls are finished, we drill small holes from the inside or outside, fill each cavity with dense-pack cellulose or injection foam and patch the holes. Solid masonry walls, like those in many brownstones, have no cavity to fill, and we'll explain the alternatives honestly.
Signs it's time to call
- Exterior walls feel cold to the touch in winter
- Rooms along outside walls are noticeably drafty
- An infrared scan or energy audit showed empty walls
- Walls are open for renovation
- High heating costs in an older frame home
How we do it
- Wall cavities checked for existing insulation and obstructions
- Method chosen: batts, spray foam, dense-pack or injection foam
- Holes drilled in a pattern that reaches every cavity (finished walls)
- Cavities filled to full density and verified
- Holes plugged and patched, ready for paint or siding
What you get
Warmer rooms
Interior wall surfaces stay closer to room temperature.
No gut renovation
Finished walls are insulated through small, patched holes.
Fewer drafts
Dense-pack and foam also reduce air movement through walls.
Many Jersey City customers pair wall insulation with spray foam insulation or attic insulation, so both can be handled in one visit.
