Insulation Solutions to Maximize Energy Efficiency in Janesville
As the county seat of Rock County, there’s never a dull moment in Janesville. Nicknamed “Wisconsin’s Park Place” thanks to its over 2,600 acres of park land, residents and visitors alike have no trouble enjoying and exploring this beautiful city. Throughout the year, from a leisurely spring day stroll through the colorful Rotary Botanical Gardens, to a sticky summer day hike up the “Devil’s Staircase”, to a wonderful winter day sledding down a local hill with family and friends, locals enjoy every type of weather Janesville has to offer. Two things are certain: Janesville’s weather is never boring (from our frigid winters to our wet, muggy summers) and no one likes to return to an uncomfortable home after a long day of work or play.

Bringing Together the Past and the Present with Energy Efficiency Solutions for Janesville Homes
The City of Janesville is made up of a diverse blend of historic and modern living. From the grand Victorian style homes from ages past to the newly constructed, modern Cape Cod homes of today, every home needs proper insulation and air sealing to help preserve and protect it for both current and future generations.
At Rockweiler, our building science training and real-world experience are the ideal combination to bring the most tailored insulation solutions for every Janesville area home.
Attic Insulation & Air Sealing
The best place to start on your path to energy efficiency is in the attic. Insulating and air sealing the attic of your Milton or Edgerton home is key to a cozy place to live.
Air sealing with caulk or spray foam closes the tiny gaps and penetrations that allow valuable conditioned air to escape your home, while insulation provides the thermal resistance your home needs to stay warm. We install quality materials, including blown-in fiberglass insulation and spray foam. Whether your home is still in the building stage or needs a retrofit efficiency boost, it’s always a good time to insulate and air seal your Janesville area attic.
When you insulate and air seal your attic you can expect:
- Lower energy bills
- Improved interior comfort
- Enhanced indoor air quality
- Less strain on your HVAC system
- Help in preventing ice dams
- Added moisture control
Basement Box Sill Insulation
Turn your Janesville or Beloit home’s basement into a whole new floor to explore with the addition of basement insulation. Did you know that the area around the perimeter of your basement, where the box sills are located, is one of the thinnest points in your home’s exterior? It’s true. Without proper insulation, this area can affect the comfort of your basement and the living space above. We take care of the problems that cost you money and comfort by installing spray foam insulation in your box sills. Spray foam does double duty by insulating your box sills as well as sealing the many tiny air leaks around them.
The benefits of insulating your basement box sills include:
- Warmer main level floors
- Lower heating bills
- Durability and protection from temperature-induced condensation
- Pest control
Crawl Space Insulation
For those area homeowners with a crawl space beneath their home, it’s important to install both a thermal and moisture barrier to safely protect your home from the earth below it. Plus, for those living close to the Rock River, moisture control is a big factor too. Count on our expert team to turn your creepy crawl space into an energy-efficient area with our insulating and encapsulating solutions.
Crawl space insulation helps improve your home’s:
- Heating and cooling for better control of your indoor temperature.
- Energy efficiency thanks to less conditioned or heated air being lost through the floor of your home.
- Moisture prevention by sealing your crawl space away from condensation and moisture that can cause mold and mildew and affect indoor air quality.
Garage Insulation
If cars could talk, they would be big proponents of garage insulation. Whether you’re heading out for your next snowy adventure along the Ice Age Trail or storing your mementos from trips past, garage insulation is the ideal way to keep your car and your souvenirs from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer. It’s the ideal “creature comfort” for your Leyden area home. We take care of insulating your garage’s ceiling and walls for a space that’s protected from the outside elements.
Garage insulation provides:
- Warmer rooms above the garage during winter and cooler rooms during summer.
- Better protection for items stored in the garage.
- The ability to keep your car above freezing throughout winter.
- Less energy loss through your garage walls.
New Construction Insulation
During construction is the best time to maximize the energy efficiency of your Janesville neighborhood home building project. Our experienced team has you covered with the best insulation and air sealing solutions for every part of your new home project, including the walls, attic, crawl space and basement. We also provide upgrades such as sound control and garage insulation for extra comfort.
Adding proper insulation during construction ensures:
- An energy-efficient home from the start
- Lower energy bills for future owners.
- A home that meets or exceeds state energy codes.
- The biggest savings on installation.
