What these homes need

Homes from the late 1950s and 1960s usually started with very little attic insulation, and central air was often added later with ducts in the attic. Sealing the ceiling and insulating to the code's R-38, or foaming the roof deck where ducts are present, is the usual plan. Low-slope additions and enclosed porches are common and often need their own insulation work.

Duke Energy Florida rebate

Small attics, simple fixes

Kenneth City's compact homes usually have simple hip or gable roofs with modest attics. A one-day job that seals the ceiling leaks, protects the soffit vents with baffles and blows loose fill to depth often makes the biggest difference for the money. Where the ducts run through the attic, we also price foam on the roof deck so you can compare.
