Multi-Unit Crawl Space Insulation at an Apartment Complex

One tenant told our crew their apartment had always been so cold that family didn't want to come over for Thanksgiving. We were on site insulating the crawl spaces at their apartment complex, and it turned into one of our favorite stories. Multi-unit crawl space insulation doesn't always get noticed, but tenants feel the difference.

Project Details

Location: Portland, Oregon
Project type: Multi-unit, apartment complex
Service: Crawl space insulation


A Unit Too Cold for Thanksgiving

Cold floors and rooms that never warm up are common complaints in older apartment buildings, and a lot of the time the crawl space is part of the problem. For this tenant, the cold was bad enough that having family over for the holidays wasn't something they wanted to do.

What We Found

The tenant's unit was one of the first we worked on at the complex. [Add what Noe saw in the crawl space before the work, if he remembers.]

Our Multi-Unit Crawl Space Insulation Solution

Our crew insulated the crawl spaces across the complex, and that unit was one of the first we finished. We were on site for about 20 days in total, which gave us a chance to hear how the work was landing with the people who live there.

The Result: A Thermostat Turned Down

Before we wrapped up, the tenant came back to tell us the heat was working so well they had to turn the thermostat down. A unit nobody wanted to spend the holidays in had become a comfortable place to be.

Do Your Tenants Complain About Cold Units?

Good insulation keeps the heat you pay for inside where it belongs. For property owners and managers, multi-unit crawl space insulation means more comfortable tenants and fewer complaints. Ask us about multi-unit insulation.
