Insulation for Bronx homes and buildings
The Bronx has every kind of building we work on: one- to three-family houses in Throgs Neck and Pelham Bay, row houses in Morris Park, large apartment buildings along the Grand Concourse, hillside homes in Riverdale, and commercial and industrial space in the South Bronx.
What we do in the Bronx
- Spray foam insulation: roofs, attics, rim joists, basements and warehouse ceilings.
- Blown-in insulation: closed walls and flat roofs in masonry and frame buildings.
- Attic and roof insulation: the attic or roof cavity, where most of the heat goes.
- Air sealing: the leaks that make top floors drafty and boilers run long.
- Rockwool soundproofing: between units and floors.
Bronx buildings we know
Apartment buildings. Most of the heat in a pre-war apartment building leaves through the roof and the top-floor ceilings. Roof and air sealing work is often the best first step, and it can count toward Local Law 97 for larger buildings.
Houses near the water. In Throgs Neck, City Island and Edgewater Park, wind and damp air matter. We favor closed-cell foam where moisture is a concern.
Commercial and industrial. Closed-cell foam on warehouse roofs and walls cuts heat loss and condensation.
Neighborhoods we serve
Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Fordham, Bedford Park, Belmont, Morris Park, Pelham Bay, Throgs Neck, Co-op City, City Island, Parkchester, Soundview, Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Highbridge and the rest of the Bronx.
Incentives for Bronx properties
The Bronx has Con Edison gas and electric. Buildings with 5 or more units may qualify for the Con Edison multifamily program, and 1–4 family homes may qualify for NYSERDA programs. See our NYC rebate guide.
Common questions
What affects the price for a Bronx property? The area, the material, access, and whether the walls are open or closed. Our instant estimate gives a first range.
Is spray foam or blown-in better for masonry buildings? For closed brick walls, blown-in is usually simpler. For roofs, basements and open framing, foam seals and insulates in one step.
How long does a job take? Most houses take one or two days. Apartment buildings are scheduled in phases.
