Cold walls and uneven rooms? Fix comfort without a full renovation.
Many older homes have little to no insulation inside exterior walls. Drill and fill is a retrofit upgrade that adds insulation to wall cavities through small access holes, then we patch and leave it clean. It is one of the best ways to improve comfort in bedrooms, nurseries, offices, and living rooms that never feel right.
- Best for: older homes, cold bedrooms, drafty exterior walls, comfort hot spots
- Low disruption: small access holes and tidy patching, no full drywall removal
- Real comfort gains: reduces heat loss through exterior walls and smooths temperature swings
- Photo proof: before and after photos, scope confirmation, clean finish
What wall drill and fill fixes
If your home feels fine in some rooms but not others, empty exterior walls are often the missing piece.
Cold bedrooms in winter
Filled wall cavities help rooms hold heat longer and feel less "icy" near exterior walls.
Hot rooms in summer
Better wall insulation helps slow heat gain so upstairs and sun rooms feel more stable.
Temperature swings room to room
Insulated walls reduce the "edge effect" where some rooms always lag behind.
Cold exterior walls and corners
Adds insulation where it matters most: exterior wall cavities and common cold corners.
High heating and cooling costs
Less heat loss through walls often means less runtime and more consistent comfort.
No insulation in older walls
Ideal for homes where the walls were never insulated or were under insulated from day one.
