Know your Waltham home
Waltham grew along the Charles River around the Boston Manufacturing Company and the Waltham Watch factory, and neighborhoods such as the South Side, Banks Square, the Highlands and Warrendale reflect that history with many two-families and older single-family homes.
From the inner suburbs to MetroWest, Middlesex County homes range from 19th-century two-families to large newer colonials, each with different weak spots.
For two- and three-family buildings, we plan insulation floor by floor, so each unit gets warmer without long disruptions for the people living there.

Where to start
Our first steps for a typical two- or three-family home in Waltham
Seal the top floor
Air sealing the attic floor stops warm air escaping from the upper unit.
Dense-pack the walls
Cellulose fills empty walls without opening up any apartment.
Foam the rim joists
Sealing the band joist ends cold first-floor drafts.
Plan around tenants
We schedule unit by unit so everyone can stay at home.
