Lake-effect winters, damp springs and hot, humid summers make Rochester, NY one of the most challenging climates for residential comfort and energy efficiency. Under-insulated walls, attics or crawl spaces drive heating bills sky-high in February and leave air-conditioning units overworked in July. Partnering with trusted home insulation contractors Rochester residents rely on is the fastest route to lower utility costs, improved indoor air quality and a quieter living space.

A 1920s 1.5-story bungalow had monthly winter gas bills topping $420. Using the CountBricks AI takeoff tool, our team pinpointed missing knee-wall insulation and a leaky attic hatch. After installing 5.5 inches of closed-cell spray foam in critical cavities and dense-packing cellulose in the sloped ceilings, blower-door results improved by 38 %. The homeowner’s first post-retrofit heating bill dropped to $260, achieving a simple payback period of 4.6 years.

Rochester’s snowfall average of 100 inches per year means vapor control is just as critical as R-value. CountBricks specifies a tailored vapor management stack for every assembly we model.
• Class I Vapor Barrier Where Needed: In humid basements we install a 6-mil polyethylene layer before framing to keep moisture from wicking into batt insulation.
• Smart Membranes in Mixed Climates: Variable-perm membranes let walls dry to the inside during summer while blocking vapor in winter—ideal for older East Avenue brick homes.
• Vent Channels Above Spray Foam: For cathedral ceilings we maintain a 1-inch ventilated airspace between foam and roof deck to avoid trapped condensation.
1. Embedded Sensors: We place wireless humidity sensors behind drywall that sync to the homeowner’s CountBricks portal for 24/7 moisture alerts.
2. Predictive Analytics: Our AI compares live sensor data against a database of local dew-point readings, flagging risk long before mold develops.
A lakefront renovation faced high indoor RH due to constant shoreline winds. CountBricks modeled airflow, recommended mineral wool with a smart membrane, and integrated continuous bath-fan ventilation. Six months post-install, in-wall humidity averaged 42 %, well below the mold threshold, and the homeowners reported zero window condensation for the first winter in a decade.
