The Columbus Area's Basement Finishing & Home Insulation Expert

A homeowner in Columbus, OH, troubled by drafts and uneven heating, sought our Free Home Energy Evaluation. Joe Dials, our inspector, found that the attic's old fiberglass insulation and insufficient air sealing were problematic. The basement was also poorly insulated. We advised removing the outdated insulation, sealing air leaks, and installing foam blown-in cellulose insulation to block outdoor air and improve overall home comfort.

These homeowners were eager to make the most of their home's space by finishing their basement. With endless possibilities in mind, they reached out to us at Mid-State Home Services. They found our company came recommended from a local Facebook group, and promptly reached out for a free quote! Our specialist, Joe Dials, collaborated with the homeowners to devise a plan.

They decided to divide the basement into sections, adding doors to create more rooms and achieve a polished look. They chose ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in Gray for the flooring and our Everlast wall system. We also painted the ceilings, replaced electrical covers, and installed new stairs. The transformation of the basement was complete, and the homeowners are thrilled to have more usable space in their home!

This client in Columbus, OH was concerned about keeping their house cool this summer, especially after a sweltering experience last year. They reached out to Mid-State Home Services to find a solution.

We conducted an energy audit to identify the major problem areas, and the attic stood out as a significant issue. It had insufficient insulation, no air sealing, and exposed ducts. This setup allowed hot air to leak into the house during summer, making it hard to cool down. The uncovered ducts exacerbated the problem by heating the cold air passing through them.

To address this, we took several steps. First, we covered the ducts with closed-cell cellulose spray foam and built insulation dams around them for easy access. Next, we air-sealed the attic by sealing off any gaps and cracks with foam board and caulk. Finally, we applied cellulose insulation.

Now, our client can look forward to a cool, comfortable summer without worrying about excessive heat or wasting money on cooling.

Pavel L. reached out to Mid-State Home Services because he was experiencing uncomfortable temperatures in some of the bedrooms in his Columbus, OH residence. After a thorough inspection by our Home Comfort Specialist, Joe Dials, it was discovered that the discomfort was caused by outdated batt insulation in the cantilever beneath the second-floor bedrooms. We replaced the old insulation with our Dense Packed TruSolf Cellulose, a highly effective solution for adding insulation to existing walls. This cellulose is densely packed into the walls through 2-inch holes using a pressurized system.

By installing densely packed cellulose wall insulation, we were able to significantly reduce air leaks and minimize noise pollution within Pavel's home.

Upon receiving a request from a Columbus, Ohio resident for a Free Home Energy Evaluation, we swiftly responded, prompted by their concerns about persistent cold and drafts.

Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, we proposed a comprehensive solution. Commencing with the attic, our plan involved removing the outdated insulation, followed by air sealing and the application of foam blown-in cellulose insulation. This integrated approach pledges to impede the intrusion of outdoor air, fostering heightened home comfort.

Through the implementation of these customized measures, the homeowner envisages a notable improvement in comfort levels, coupled with tangible reductions in energy expenses.
