Retro Foam has been a positive experience from my very first phone call. After seeing an…read moreadvertisement while watch the morning news,which I rarely ever do, I have been happy I made the call. Amy, answered the phone answered all my questions and scheduled an in-house visit with Steve. Steve arrived as scheduled and professionally answered my further questions. He explained to me how my home could be insulated,so there were no surprises. He told me about energy credits available to me and special financing. Plus my neighbor will get a check too for the referral! That will be a pleasant surprise for them.Steve measured my home to get the estimate. Upon his departure, I was left with a list of homework to complete before the installation. The installation crew#3 arrived on schedule. Mike the supervisor did a pre walk through to confirm that I understood that holes would be drilled on the exterior. He showed me a sample of the pine hole plug. Upon discussing the project I became a bit nervous and asked if I could "call a friend", that discussion helped me make the final decision to go ahead with the project. The construction of my home was a bit different than the crew had expected which meant less holes and plugs. (Yippy,happy dance).I gave them the final go ahead. Mike, Denny and Anthony communicated well and work great as a team. It took only a few hours to complete my home. They were very professional and took great care to make sure the finished job was completed to my satisfaction and looked nice. As the foam was being sprayed into the walls some would squirt out when the wall became full. The team of three followed each other and cleaned up as they went. No residue on the walls or the ground were left behind. I gave RetroFoam a five star rating because, they communicated well every step of the project, they are reliable when they say they will be there they were, the final cost came with no surprises. My first day I noticed my home was more sound proof. Time will tell if it will be easier to heat and cool my home. Thank you for such a positive experience!

I hired Retrofoam to fix a specific issue with a drafty, cold, west-facing room on my first floor. The initial experience was fine and I hired them based on their slick marketing and sales pitch. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. In hindsight, the assessment felt rushed, but I trusted their expertise when they recommended removing the fiberglass insulation and spray-foaming rim joists. Unfortunately, after spending $2,300, the fix made absolutely no difference. When I sent a video showing that the draft problem wasn't fixed, they essentially ghosted me until I left a one-star review here. They then returned and the technician confirmed 32 degrees at the floor level. 32 degrees! He also admitted that their SALESPEOPLE DON'T CARRY APPROPRIATE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS. On a call later with Aaron (Retrofoam's owner) when I asked about their sales process, he told me that their salespeople don't really do assessments (not what they say on their website!) but rather just rely on "best practices" (aka guessing). Aaron said their salespeople are just there to "measure" and "make sure shelves aren't in the way" of the technicians. Wow. They offered to come "caulk the baseboard" as part of a warranty service. Absolutely refused to own up to a clear misdiagnosis and a waste of my money. Proceed cautiously before signing up with these guys. They don't stand behind their own hype.

Did you ever feel compelled to write a review for a company even though you didn't use their…read moreservices? We were getting estimates to add insulation to our attic because it does settle over time and ours was built eleven years ago. We already had two companies out for estimates. The first one went into the attic and took a good look around before giving us an estimate. The second one didn't even go into the attic but based his estimate by measuring square footage in the basement. The third one was Stoney from BlownInsulationMI.com who, like the first one, went up into the attic to check it out. When he finished, based on what he saw, he explained that he felt our insulation had settled but was still adequate (when built in 2009, we paid for extra insulation above the minimum requirements). He said he would be happy to sell us some insulation, but the amount they would recommend would not affect our heating-and-cooling bills enough to make it worth the investment. We appreciated his honesty and that he took the time to explain his assessment and how he came to that conclusion. He was very knowledgeable and has decades of experience to back what he says. If we have a need for the future, this company would be on the top of our list. Give them a call.

With the Aeroseal duct sealing, I believe we have experienced improved airflow resulting in improved winter warmth and summer cooling throughout. Their promises of potential utility savings are understandably vague, Our 35 year old home is well insulated and with quality windows, does not have ducts passing through unheated crawl space or attic. Month to month and even year over year it is hard to precisely measure energy use and savings because each season and year has varying temperatures. However, overall after three years of experience, I believe that sealing ductwork improved our comfort and HVAC efficiency and it was a good longterm investment.

The last few winters and sub zero temps made my mother's home very uncomfortable, and caused her utility bills skyrocket over $400 per month! I knew we had to do something because my mother can't handle the cold, or the shocks to her bank account. However, the thought of having her deal with a bunch of contractors to price out furnaces and insulation seemed like a bad idea. After my mother received an add in her bill from Consumers Energy, I called in and the utility referred me to a handful of contractors. We set up appointments for when I would be in town visiting, and after talking to a number of contractors, Green Home Energy seemed to be the most friendly and knowledgable with competitive pricing. We met with the owner, Mark, who was extremely professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. He priced out insulation in the attic, spray foam in the basement, and a new furnace. He was also able to finance the entire package through the Michigan Saves program, and was also able to get us a $1,100 rebate from Consumers Energy! The install crew was friendly, according to my mom, and they left the place spotless. My mother's place has been significantly cooler this summer, and we can't wait for the winter and cold weather to arrive to see the final result!

However, turns out they didn't fill the entire wall with insulation and they came out and drilled big holes in my walls on the inside and filled up the rest. However, they informed me it would be my responsibility to fill in the holes. I complained to the job boss and he sent a guy over to take care of it. However, he made a comment about how much I complained about it but I didn't. How rude. I would no way recommend this company. And, of course, now I had 3 + rooms that I had to re-paint. No happy.
