“In a three-room addition over a two-car garage originally built in 1980, we completed a semi-finished room, replaced drafty light fixtures with LEDs, installed extra roof and wall insulation, and sealed places where newer and older construction meet. It produced a much warmer and easy-to-heat space. The Solsaa contractors were a pleasure to work with.”
