Did you know that the majority of Buffalo homes were built before 1939? Unlike other areas of the country, where most homes were built in recent decades, Buffalo has quite old housing stock.
The older your home, the more likely it could use better insulation. In the old days, people insulated with whatever was cheaply and readily available, using things like newspaper and bricks in the wall to help keep cold air outside during the harsh Buffalo winters.
These days, Ivy Lea Construction keeps busy insulating older Buffalo homes with brand new, up-to-date insulation materials. Most people decide to have Ivy Lea replace and/or install proper insulation because their old home is freezing cold in the winter, with too many drafty rooms.
Besides helping you warm up this winter, new and improved insulation can help cut your energy bills in half– it’s not uncommon to see a drastic drop in your January or February heating bill after modern insulation is added.
Ivy Lea Construction can assess your home and give you an estimate on work to be done. Air sealing, ventilation and insulation are all a part of the process to make sure your older Buffalo home is ready to face winter’s freezing cold temperatures
Some of the key places where Ivy Lea can insulate a home include basements, attics and crawl spaces. In addition, insulation around water pipes and heating/cooling ducts can also help save you money in the long run.
