Whether you’re buying your first home or moving into a new one, many tasks need to be done. Must-do cleaning tasks when moving into a new home is one of them, and it’s an important task that should be done before you start unpacking and settling into your new home. The previous people who lived in the home you are moving into inevitably left some dirty residue behind. It’s best to do a complete cleaning of your new house before you move in so you can be sure that it is clean and safe for your family.

Here are some must-do cleaning tasks when moving into a new home:

Wipe down all the surfaces and walls of your new home. This will remove any dust or cobwebs that have been collected while the house has been empty. It’s also a good idea to wipe down the refrigerator, dishwasher, and oven, as well as any countertops and cabinets that will be used for food preparation.

You should also clean all closets and storage spaces in your new home. This will help keep them organized and make it easier for you to access your belongings once you’re settled in.

When you first walk through your new home, be sure to take a pen or piece of paper and look around for any areas that need special attention during the cleaning process. This can include things like dusty or dirty blinds, light fixtures, electrical outlets, and other appliances, etc. Taking notes at this stage will help you remember to take care of these things when you do your cleaning later on.

The main purpose of attic insulation is to help your home maintain a comfortable temperature without having to work too hard. Spray foam helps reduce energy usage and saves money on utility bills. Insulation also reduces sound from the outside and between rooms, providing a more peaceful and relaxing living environment.

The type of attic insulation that’s best for your home depends on several factors, including the climate where you live, your budget and the level of air tightness you’re seeking. We’ll work with you to determine the appropriate attic insulation for your home.

Spray Foam Attic Insulation: Benefits and Cost Breakdown

Blanket or batt insulation is made of fiberglass, natural and synthetic fibers, mineral wool and recycled cloth materials. It comes in pre-cut panels that are easy to install and provide good thermal protection. This insulation is moisture-resistant when it’s paired with a vapor barrier. It also acts as a sound barrier and can be effective in helping to keep cold air out of your home during the winter. It’s also a favorite snack of raccoons and needs to be properly secured in the attic so that it doesn’t get wet.

Loose-fill insulation (often referred to as blown in) is more expensive than blanket or batt, but provides a more complete attic insulation with higher R-Value. It’s available in fiberglass, cellulose and rockwool. When purchasing loose-fill insulation, it’s important to avoid any with a paper or foil vapor barrier, and purchase “unfaced” insulation.

When adding loose-fill insulation, it’s important for your professional to use a ruler to measure the attic space and to check the depth of the current insulation to ensure that new insulation is installed at a similar depth. This helps avoid having to re-apply insulation later due to a thin attic or improper installation.
