Effective Building Envelope & Attic Air Sealing Rhode Island

Your attic is one of the biggest sources of hidden energy loss in your home. Warm air naturally rises, and without proper air sealing, it escapes through cracks, wiring holes, recessed lights, and framing gaps, wasting up to 30% of your home’s heating and cooling energy. These leaks make your home drafty in winter, stuffy in summer, and far less efficient than it should be.

At United Better Homes, we specialize in attic air sealing for Rhode Island homeowners. Our trained weatherization experts use advanced blower-door testing and safe, high-performance sealing materials to close every gap in your attic’s floor and ceiling plane. This prevents air loss, reduces energy waste, and helps your insulation and HVAC system perform as efficiently as possible.

By sealing your attic, you’ll notice steadier temperatures, cleaner indoor air, and lower monthly energy expenses all while protecting your home from moisture buildup and ice dams. 

Every home is different, so we start with a thorough attic inspection to pinpoint the exact areas where air is escaping. Then we seal the leaks using durable materials and proven methods.

Our attic air sealing services include:

• Sealing top plates, wall junctions, and ceiling penetrations
• Air sealing around plumbing, wiring, and ductwork
• Weatherstripping attic hatches and drop-down stairs
• Sealing around recessed lights and fixtures
• Installing proper ventilation baffles for airflow and insulation protection
• Optional insulation upgrades and full weatherization

Our team uses caulk, spray foam, rigid board, and other high-quality materials to ensure your attic is sealed tight and stays that way.

If you're looking to improve your home’s efficiency without breaking the bank, United Better Homes can help you tap into state-supported programs designed to make attic insulation and air sealing more accessible than ever.
