Insulation

JTBuild | Posted in Energy Efficiency and Durability on

I recently purchased a 1930’s brick and aluminum-sided two-family home in Teaneck, NJ. The insulation in the upstairs apartment is very old and dilapidated and lining the roof. The outside walls in both apartments are not insulated, it would seem. I would like some ideas about insulation. Can call me, too, 646-245-3801.

Thanks.
