The 1950's-60s ranches and Capes along Broadway and Cottage Road were built with minimal insulation that has settled over decades. Willard Beach cottages often have none at all. We bring attics up to R-50 and dense-pack walls without removing interior finishes.
Learn MorePostwar ranches along Broadway typically rely on oil boilers with no cooling. A ductless mini-split supplements the existing heating system and adds air conditioning. Newer builds near the Maine Mall are generally better insulated but still benefit from heat pump efficiency.
Learn MoreThe 1950's-60s ranches and Capes in South Portland have significant air leakage through uninsulated rim joists, recessed lights, and plumbing penetrations. Willard Beach cottages face coastal wind infiltration on top of that. We use blower door testing to find and seal every gap before insulating.

"Horizon Homes is excellent. They have supported us for a number of projects across insulation and carpentry and I can't recommend them enough. Cody is extremely thoughtful and has supported us over hours on the phone answering questions."
"The crew was meticulous. They sealed every penetration before blowing in the insulation, explained exactly what they were doing, and left the attic cleaner than they found it. Our heating bill dropped noticeably the very first month."
"No more cold floors, no more drafts in the living room. The difference after insulation and air sealing was immediate and dramatic. I wish I had done this years ago. Horizon handled the Efficiency Maine rebate. I didn't have to do a thing."
