SPREADING THE NEWS TO BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS
Insulation Is Key to Renovation
the home of Marty Lee and Nancy Lambert in Durham, NH, was
stuck in a time warp. built in the early 1950s, the home was cold
and drafty in winter and hot in summer. caledonian carpentry,
Milton Mills, NH, and roy Darling, president of the company, were
brought in to help with renovating the house and making it more
energy efficient. they immediately recognized that lack of proper
insulation was a major part of the problem.
“they had the old one-inch-thick black tar paper insulation with
straw in between,” says Darling. “there was no real protection at
all. I work with Nickerson-remick all the time and immediately
called them in to partner with us on the renovation. I knew the
client would see a huge difference in comfort and energy savings
