Our Services
Ardor Construction was founded with a mission to conserve energy through insulating and air sealing homes in the Hudson Valley. We bring a high level of attention to detail in air sealing and insulating. We know air barriers need to be 100% complete to be effective.
We specialize in using low-carbon materials, such as cellulose, to create high performance building envelopes. Ensure your home will stay at comfortable temperatures during every season while reducing energy costs.
We work with local general contractors to provide specialized insulation and air sealing services. We can also GC new construction high performance homes from start to finish, and specialize in net zero and Passive House certified homes.
We typically work within an one-hour radius of Kingston, NY.
Why cellulose?
Cellulose is a great insulation material with a high R-value. It’s treated against fire, mold and pests as well as being made from recycled material (shredded old newspapers).
Benefits of cellulose over other insulation materials:
cost-effective
uses less energy to manufacture than most insulation products
superior noise suppression
fills cavities completely without leaving air pockets
non-toxic
made of recycled materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill
carbon sequestration in the building assembly
We work with both loose fill and dense pack cellulose depending on your home’s needs. We typically install loose fill cellulose in attics and blow the dry, densely packed cellulose into walls and floors.
