Did exactly what I wanted didn't try to upsell me. Insulated my attic and really saw the difference. They were very late the day of but they did their work quickly and thoroughly. read more

David and Atticity lived up to their other reviews. The crew was punctual and didn't take long breaks. My house wasn't easy to remove old insulation and then install new insulation but the workers never complained and they worked well together. Happy bunch! Don't look any further. David will save you money and headaches! read more

We had to replace insulation in our Attic recently... Home is 10+ years old and I don't even know the last time the previous homeowner looked at insulation. But my heating bill was quite big and I finally decided to address it through proper Attic insulation. We got quotes from a couple of companies and decided to go with Atticity mainly because of how approachable and honest David was and how well he was able to explain the entire process to us. Their quote was very reasonable, and was all-inclusive (material, labor, cleanup, disinfection, laying down of new Pink insulation and disposal of old stuff). They said they could come in that very week and get it taken care of in 1 day. True to their word, the material was placed in our front yard the early morning the day of job; David's crew of 3 arrived around 9.30AM, and they completed the job no mess, no fuss around 4.30PM. Overall we're very happy, they do a good professional job. I'd easily recommend them based on my experience. read more

I had heard something crawling around the roof/attic for some time now. The wife said it was something in the attic, I said it was something on the roof. Remember the saying "the wife is always right?" I go into my office the night before President's Day to watch a movie and notice an odor. Thinking it must have been something in the garbage that was just emptied, I just open a window and go about my business. The next day, President's Day, I opened the door to my office and imagine sticking your nose into a pair of smelly sneakers, that's what it smelled like, like something had died. I called the wife over and she said check the closet to the attic, which is only a few steps away. We opened the door and experienced the lovely aroma of decaying animal carcasses to the Nth degree! yummy! We jump on Yelp for some help and come across EGI Attic Guys. Mind you it's President's Day so out of three companies we have called, EGI is the only company to answer the phone on a holiday. I explain the situation and they said they'd be out within an hour or so! Eduardo showed up about an hour and a half later. Even he was taken aback by the stench in the attic but long story short, he cleaned out the two dead rats and covered up the suspected entry points of which there were three. I can't thank this team enough for getting this taken care of so quickly on a holiday. A great outfit to work with. I was expecting the "well, your insulation is destroyed with feces so you need us to replace it" statement but instead I was taken aback when Eduardo said he'd recommend not replacing it since the cost would outweigh the benefit. We did not have an infestation, simply a couple of rats who ate some poison and happened to go to our attic and die. EGI could have told me it would all need to be replaced and I would have replaced it, instead they were honest with me, something that is hard to find these days. I would hire EGI again without hesitation! read more

Edward is a very nice and knowledgeable person who will go through every detail and aspect of a job. For me it is very important because I wouldn't even know what questions to ask. And the price is very reasonable. read more

I moved into a condo with no insulation. Got quotes in many places and options as to what can be done with the attic to make the place energy efficient. Edward told me what all can be done with costs as well. Air sealing the attic tight, radiant barrier and insulation. I wanted hot water pipe insulation as well. Edward loves what he does and is very clean. My attic had rodent infestation before and I had the HOA send ppl to fix it up and they missed a BIG spot which Edward found and he fixed it for me.. Had I not gone with Edward and him seeing the hole for the rats my attic would have been in bad shape sooner. Radiant barrier took a huge chunk of time to do because of my attic and all other competitors told that they cannot do it period. Edward and Gerardo worked the attic perfectly and precisely. Both of them have OCD :) and in a job like this having OCD is good for the clients. As they didn't miss a spot and it was perfect. The attic was air sealed, removed the droppings, cleaned the attic, insulated the hot water pipes and completed with insulation.. Clean, perfect and flexible. Very competitive and honest. Am recommending him already to few of my friends who are looking for insulation. He is great at what he does and open about if he can do it or not. Amazing experience. To be short - I have NEST thermostat and my heater is running 2 hours from 5 hours.. That is more than what I expected to happen. That is the proof of what work was done with precision and care.. Kudos..! read more

Rats came back to my attic. I contacted Edward many times but he could not come and fix it. I gave him a month time to fix but he could not come. I had to hire another company to look at the problem. His attic/insulation work is good and i am happy with that. read more

Edward is my new favorite local businessman. He took on insulating and rodent-proofing a problem area that involved removal of some old insulation, installation of blown-in pink fiber insulation in a ~500sf vaulted ceiling, and installation of batt insulation with thermal barrier film in a small attic area. Three other companies had looked at the same project before I chose EGI. Two declined outright to deal with it (too small a project for their company and/or too weird - many tight spaces and unusual construction techniques, compounded by the necessity to work neatly in a room occupied by tons of nice furniture, made it a very undesirable job), and one other company offered to address just a small portion of the project. Edward not only accepted work that others refused to touch; he also attacked the problem with a bigger and more complete solution than the other companies offered, with a very competitively priced bid. It's clear to me that Edward's company is fresh and scrappy, able to take jobs others won't and completely earnest about their hard work and thoughtful approach. Edward spent quite a while estimating my project and thought aloud with me as he checked it out - he thought through several different options before concluding on the wisest course of action. "No one's completely perfect," you say, which is true, so I'm obliged to point out that time management might be EGI's current growth area. He and one other worker showed up very late on the day they agreed to begin, and said they'd finish that evening (I told them I doubted it then) - they continued over the course of 3-4 days as they dealt with a few other projects, and in the end he took a bit off the bill for running late. I loved Edward's honesty and professionalism in this: in truth, he was within the time window I'd set (the person living in the room was out of town for a vacation, so we had a week total to get it done, and EGI finished it on time, just later than they expected). Only once or twice did it cause some trouble because we had to wait at home to provide access to the space, and the EGI crew showed up without notice, very late in the day. Don't take this as a severe criticism of EGI - they still get 5 stars from me, after all - Edward was dealing with some profoundly difficult stuff at his own home that week. I mention this only to give the heads-up that if you have very specific time or communication needs, I think you should negotiate them up front with EGI and be clear. EGI is a really hardworking, problem-solving crew led by Edward, and I really enjoyed working with them. Edward brought in Anthony Cardenas, who runs Rodent Innovative Professionals ( http://www.riprodent.com/ ), and both men worked their tails off while being really cheerful, approachable, and courteous. They were each really happy to explain things to me I asked about, and they did a great job protecting the work area from dust & debris. I think EGI is capable of a wide variety of services, from methodical & precise to fast & dirty. Contact them for all sorts of insulation and/or pest-proofing needs, and be sure to explain up front what style of work you're seeking. I plan to hire EGI again for another small project that Edward discussed with me while estimating - yet again, it's something a pest control company gave up on and said was hopeless, but Edward took a look at it and said, "oh yeah, I can solve that." I love this guy. Hire him today before I do. (Disclosure: Yes, Edward did ask us upon completing the job to leave a review. No worries, I would have anyway. He didn't get any say in what I wrote. I really do like this company this much.) read more

Wow! Edward and crew haven't even finished and my husband and I are already impressed. He is very informative and will let you know exactly what is happening with your project. I feel so much better that our crawl space and attic are clean and sealed. More than fair price and so easy to deal with. All around nice guy and his crew went above and beyond what we expected. You really need to call and get your free estimate. I'll guarantee you will end up hiring him. read more

This review is response to Edward's response below ************************************************************** Well, I like it that you actually responded to my comment, rather than disappeared for some extended period of time like before If I was really trying to take advantage of you and not intended to use you for install service, do you think I would prepay you $557.70 to cover 30% of the install price??? I could have simply refused to make any prepayment to you, and still not to use you !!! As I told you before, and mentioned earlier also that the only reason I couldn't use your service was because you disappeared for at least two weeks without answering phone, text message, and your (844) 692-8842 was even disconnected and no longer in service !!! Then all of sudden you came back and called me using a new cell phone, and said you no longer use your old cell phone. So ask yourself, who runs a legitimate business in this manner? Your lack of business accountability caused big delay to my project, so I had to quickly find another company to complete the installation work. Yes, the other company actually charged $100 less than your price. But do you think I would risk my $557.70 for saving $100 ??? The fact that your price is actually $100 higher than other company also disproved your claim that "[I] used you" and made you do more works for less money !!! By the way, I just checked again at 11PM on Oct 23, 2017 that your (844) 692-8842 is still disconnected and no longer in service. To be fair, you might be a hard working person, but you are clearly not an honest person, lack business ethics, and also does not provide reliable service. By the way, if you were actually asking for deposit, I would not pay you 30% of the price as deposit. Typically only 10%. You said you need money to buy insulation material, that's why I prepaid $557.70, it is for material cost, not for deposit. You promised to send me the refund check, but you never did and also disappeared again. That's why I posted my review on you. read more

I can't say enough about EGI and the quality of work they performed for me. This is not a fun job, but they truly took pride in the work that they did. I own a number of rental units and have vendors in and out regularly. I can honestly say that none of them has exhibited the attention to detail and been as committed to doing a job right as EGI was. In the past my experience with pest control companies has not been very good. EGI was brought in to redo the work of another company that I'd contracted with to address a rat infestation in the crawl space of a property in San Francisco. The difference in quality between EGI and the other company was night and day. EGI did the job right and went a step above to make sure that everything was in order. They were meticulous in making sure that the space was completely sanitized and that everything was completely covered. This is not a big company, they are just starting out and the owner will likely be on site performing the work for you. I will definitely use them in the future. read more

We have smelt something bad in the bedroom. It took us a while and finally we confirmed that it's from roof/attic after I opened the door to the attic and the smell is even stronger inside. We gave a call to EGI Attic Guys and they found there are dead rats in the attic and suggested we replace the insulations as they are 15 years old and there are rats' wastes on/inside/under the insulations. Eddie and his crews came and solve all problems in a single day after two days of inspection. Eddie himself is very honest and straightforward. It's a pleasure to do business with him. His team works hard and professionally. They carefully found all dead rats and fixed suspected entry points. Our attic has a very low profile (less than 5 feet) so it's difficult for them to move around. But they reach out to every corner to make sure no dead animals/entry points exists. I highly recommend them and will recommend them to my friends! read more

Eddie did a great job for us. He was honest, straightforward, and meticulous about his work. We were worried about a possible rodent in our house. He spent a lot of time checking out the entire house and doing a full inspection. He gave a very fair estimate for the work and then proceeded to take care of the problem that day. We have small children in the house and he was extremely careful about clean up and contamination. He also helped take care of a pigeon problem for us that has worked to keep out those pesky guys and they still have not returned. I would highly recommend Eddie and his team for great service! read more

Edward came to do a an estimate of our home for insulation removal and new BAT installation. While we haven't done the work yet just wanted to say Edward is such a great businessman. He sealed up an opening with a net on the side of our house. He really values high quality work. Was very professional, kept the house clean and did a very thorough inspection of the attic. Will definitely use him if we decide to go forward. He was super honest too and said we didn't really need to change our insulation. read more

Edward came to Alameda to do a bid on Sunday, and did the job same day. Thanks Edward for a great job insulating our attic.

I recently bought a home in Fremont and wanted to clean out the attic of any vermin since there were rat droppings found during the home inspection. I received estimates from a few attic cleaning professionals, but many were overpriced. In my last effort, I called EGI Attic Guys and spoke with Edward on a Friday, asking if his team would have time to come out the next day to clean my attic. Edward met with me near my work office and we discussed my options for cleaning the attic, as well as costs. I agreed to work with them and the next day his team showed up on time and completed the job within a reasonable time. They completely removed my old insulation and a rats nest from the attic, sanitized and rodent proofed the area, and installed new insulation. Edward was professional and courteous throughout the job, and I highly recommend EGI Attic Guys. read more

Edward and his team promptly cleaned the attic and crawl space of an old house we bought. Edward was polite, knowledgable, prompt and reasonably priced. He showed me exactly what he would do and pointed out the trouble spots. Now I have one less thing to worry about. Thanks EGI attic guys! read more

Update: Currently working with Edward to get the project completed/resolved. Will update review at the end of the project accordingly. It saddens me to write this review but our experience with Edward these past few months have unfortunately been very disappointing. Edward agreed to do a project regarding our house's water issue (draining out the water, making a new drain system, etc). The project began around May and is still not complete as of November. A time-consuming project is one thing but the main reason we are upset is the lack of communication and several no-shows. There have been multiple times when we were told that they would come by to continue the project but no one would actually show up (in almost every case, we were never informed that they would be unable to make it). Our follow-up calls and texts would often not receive a response until several days (or weeks) later. For example, we were told that they would come by to continue the project on Wednesday of last week. We received a call on Wednesday (which we appreciated, thank you) letting us know that they would come by on Thursday instead. No one showed up Thursday and we haven't heard from them since Wednesday. Although our first experience was good (as shown by the previous review), these past few months have been a negative experience. read more

They cleaned the attic and crawl space of this older house that our son bought in Niles. The attic had a garage full of stuff in it and when they were done it was spic and span! They are the best! Having them come back and put new insulation in the attic now. read more

Edward is very knowledgeable in his craft and very professional. My house has undergone recent electrical work so my attic was somewhat bare. There was a few remembrances of my father's version of insulation left. Old couch cushions. Lol! He said my dad was pretty crafty! Anyhow, he did a great job. Thanks so much Edward! read more

Edward came to my place and did a thorough inspection on possible pest activities and insulations. He gave me a very good estimate. Once there is the right time to proceed, I will not hesitate to give him a call. read more

I had squirrels in my attic, both metaphorically and literally. We could hear woody chewing noises in the attic, and it didn't sound good. After reading the Yelp reviews for Edward, we gave him a call. He responded very quickly and came out to give a free estimate. Turns out a squirrel had chewed though the roof plywood and was using the attic for a free airbnb. We had him fix the hole. He also did a thorough attic inspection. He is highly professional and knowledgable. He even provided us with multiple photos of 'before' and 'after' the fix. Highly recommended. read more

Edward was very professional and extremely thorough! My tenants had a little mouse visitor and Edward did a complete inspection of my duplex (both units) and identified entry areas I did not even consider. He was honest and stayed at the property even when I had to leave until the job was completely finished. I have not heard any complaints from my tenants regarding pests in the last 5 months. I was so impressed I signed up for his 5 year contract and he was very accommodating even when my situation changed. I highly recommend Edward and his team. read more

In one line - "Edward and team ROCK!" We wanted to get attic insulated in our recently bought 40 plus years old home. Well, we followed the normal path - looked at Yelp and Craigslist, got few of them to come over for quotes etc. Right off the bat, Edward separated himself from others with his attention to detail and his technical knowledge. I mean it seems every contractor knows about the job, but Edward differentiated by first pointing me to important videos about air sealing, difference in the type of insulation etc. Frankly I had done that homework already, but it was impressive to notice his approach. When he showed up for inspection, he was more thorough than anyone else, he took pictures of troubled areas in the attic etc. He also advised on the optimum plan of action. In our case we didn't need to vacuum the existing insulation but just needed to blow over the top and he in fact guided us so that we don't spend more money that needed. Talking about money, his prices are very competitive, in fact he was closer to being most reasonable of all the quotes we got. To be honest, it felt little risky to go with him based on so few Yelp reviews, but his approach had us convinced that he was the right choice. And we are GLAD we chose him. On the day of the job, his team ensured to protect the entire area of the house they worked in. Really professional approach to laying plastics sheets etc. Every other contractor had said, 'yeah we will do the air sealing and that should take like 20 mins'. But Edward and team spent over 2 hours meticulously dusting off and sealing edges, seams, vent openings, holes etc in the attic that needed attention. The actual insulation blowing process was no different. No where did they try to rush, in fact it felt like Edward has OCD to get things right and takes pride in his work. It is very rare that one finds such impressive work ethic at the best price. I would highly recommend Edward and team. Extremely positive experience. read more

Eduardo and his team are very professional. They were hired to a basement cleanup and vapor barrier installation. During the process, my dad passed away. Eduardo made sure everything was done in one day by bringing in extra crew as I had funeral details to plan. I am very satisfied by his work and recommend them highly. read more

Edward is super scrappy, hard working, and responsive. When you're dealing with an area of the house that you yourself can't go and check (in this case the attic) you need to trust the work ethic of the person you're hiring. Edward is terrific. read more

I actually found EGI through Home Advisors. I needed some help with a small maintenance job; I had to remove my interior window shutters. Edward phoned me right away. He was very courteous & accommodating. In less than a week, him & his assistant completed the job. They were quick & very neat. read more

i had planned on getting several estimates to have my attic insulated and some duct work done but after meeting Edward I knew I didn't need to look any further. I could tell that he is an honest guy who truly cares about the work he does.Such a pleasant person.The job went very smooth without any issues.His crew is as awesome as he is and they too truly care about the work they do.They took pictures of the job as they went along and I was kept informed through out the whole process.I personally did not climb up in the attic to look but my brother did and was quite impressed.These guys are awesome in so many ways.I am truly impressed and would hire them again in a heartbeat.A great group of guys who go above and beyond. read more

Edward and team removed old insulation, air sealed, and installed new insulation in our attic. They showed up and completed the job on time (two days). Price was very competitive. Edward is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he is doing. This translates into a thorough job that looks clean and well done. I'm not an expert, but actually climbed through the attic with him afterwards and the work in the limited area I saw really met my expectations. In the course of the work, the crew actually caused a small amount of damage to our ceiling which I'd imagine is not that uncommon. The impressive part was that Edward proactively took measures to fix the damage and I must say it is completely unnoticeable and better than before (they also fixed an adjacent area that was already damaged). We do not have any rodent issues as I see other reviews alluding to so I can not comment on that. However, they did take measures to prevent problems in the future. read more
