Do you also do the drywall after insulation in McCauley?

Yes — we insulate and drywall McCauley projects as one job, or insulate only ahead of your own crew.

Do you insulate basement developments to code in McCauley?

Yes — we install batt and vapour barrier to the R-value your McCauley basement development requires. We also cover Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt and Central.

Will you install acoustic batt in an McCauley home?

Yes — cavity batt plus resilient channel plus sound board — the McCauley soundproofing combination we install.

Do you handle acoustic insulation on McCauley jobs?

Yes — we run acoustic batt inside McCauley cavities alongside resilient channel and sound board in our soundproofing builds.

Why is the floor edge of my basement so cold?

Usually the rim joist — thin, directly exposed and often bare or with a batt tucked loosely against it. It needs air sealing first, then insulating; a loose batt against bare rim joist can trap moist air on cold wood.

Can you insulate a wall that is already open from a renovation in McCauley?

Yes — open cavities during an Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt renovation are the perfect insulation window before boarding.

Filling the cavity completely

Gaps cost more than they look

A batt with a gap at the top of the bay creates a convection path where air circulates inside the wall, moving heat across it.

What good installation looks like

Full width, full depth, in contact on all sides, cut around obstructions rather than compressed past them. In an McCauley wall the difference between a careful fit and a fast one is invisible once boarded and obvious on the heating bill.

What we see in McCauley

Attic insulation is a different job

Depth and coverage

An attic is about even depth right out to the eaves, with baffles keeping the soffit vents clear and the ceiling below sealed.

Why we separate it

It uses different products and different equipment from wall work. We quote it separately rather than folding it into a wall price, because the two are only related by the word insulation.
