Insulation in Louisville
Many older Louisville homes (Highlands, Crescent Hill, St. Matthews) have similar issues to Lexington, pre-1970 wall assemblies, drafty attics, ducts in unconditioned space. Energy-efficiency retrofits pay back fast on these homes.
The single biggest lever on your energy bill
Insulation looks simple in a YouTube video. In the wall, it's not. Air gaps, compressed batts, missing vapor barriers, and electrical-box leaks erase most of what a fluffy R-value rating promises on paper. SBC Construction installs insulation the way the manufacturers actually specify, full-depth, air-sealed at every penetration, and inspected before the drywall goes up.
- Air-sealing penetrations (top plates, can lights, electrical boxes) before insulation goes in
- Full-depth batts cut around obstructions, not stuffed
- Spray foam applied at correct thickness and temperature so it cures properly
- Blown-in density measured, not guessed
- Vapor barrier oriented correctly for our Kentucky climate zone
