Creating an Energy-Efficient Stoughton Community One Home at a Time
Stoughton homes range in age, size and energy efficiency. The area is adorned with hundreds of historic homes that were built in the mid 19th to early 20th centuries, as well as homes built in the late 1990’s to today. Every home, whether old or new, has energy needs that not only help you save money on energy bills, but help preserve and protect your home for future generations. Many older homes are under insulated and not up to today’s energy efficiency standards.
At Rockweiler, our building science training and real-world experience are the ideal combination to bring the most tailored insulation solutions for every Stoughton area home.
Attic Insulation & Air Sealing
Many people ask where they should start with making their home more energy efficient. The answer is the attic. Insulating and air sealing this space in your Utica or Hillside home is key to having a cozy place to come home to.
Air sealing, in the form of caulk or spray foam, closes all the tiny gaps and cracks that allow valuable heated 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 Virgin Lake Estates or Nordic Ridge 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
Did you know the box sills of your Oregon area home’s basement are one of the thinnest points in your home’s exterior? It’s true. And without properly insulating this area along the perimeter of your basement ceiling, the comfort of your basement and the living space above can be affected. 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. With proper insulation and air sealing, you’ll have a whole new floor to explore and utilize.
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
We know your crawl space is not a place often visited, but it plays an important role in a home’s energy efficiency. For those Kegonsa and Stoughton 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 and keep valuable energy from escaping. Plus, for those living along the Yahara River or on Lake Kegonsa, 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
Garage insulation is the ideal “creature comfort” for your McFarland area home. Our team insulates your garage’s ceiling and walls for a space that’s protected from the outside elements. That means whether you’re heading out for your next winter adventure or storing your gear from trips past, your garage insulation will keep your car and your gear from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer.
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

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.

- An energy-efficient home from the start
