5-Star Review for Green Attic -- Especially James…read more I had an outstanding experience with Green Attic, and I want to specifically recognize James for his exceptional professionalism and customer service. Companies become great because of the people who represent them and James is a perfect example of that. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He took the time to explain every detail, walked me through options, and made sure I felt confident in each step of the process. His communication was clear and proactive, and he treated my project with the same care and urgency as if it were his own home. It's rare to find someone who not only knows their craft at a high level but also leads with integrity, respect, and genuine customer focus. Because of James, Green Attic has earned my trust and future business. He embodies what every service professional should be. Highly recommend both the company and James in particular.

Roberto came out, did a blower test, comprehensive walk thru with the thermal camera and we talked about issues and what solutions would work. We came up with a plan. Got started, and discovered an issue. We got together and pivoted to a very workable solution to get the job done. Work was completed well, quickly, and when they were done they cleaned so well you'd never know they were there. Very pleased with the results. Very pleased with their professionalism and ability to find solutions. Couldn't recommend any more strongly!!

After spending a ridiculous amount of time with other companies who had no idea how to fix anything, Priority Energy did an energy audit and mechanical recommendations. We implemented them, were still have a couple issues, and they were able to help us resolve them. Needless to say I went from expensive energy bills to manageable, too hot in winter to just right and too humid in summer to perfectly balanced. They take the time to do a thorough investigation and do it right. If you're having any issues with too hot or cold, too humid or dry, expensive energy bills or just are not able to figure out a solution to a comfort issue, please work with them. It's not cheap, but it's 100% worth the money.

ARC…read moreprovided a quote ( without visiting our home) that included the following sentence, "Please confirm exterior walls are framed 2x4". I told the rep that other companies have inspected our home and stated that our walls are suitable for blown in insulation. ARC never came to visit our home - while their competitors did this as a standard account management cycle. Fast forward to this week, I was ready to sign the agreement and pay the deposit - the rep asked me to confirm the 2x4 framing. I asked him how he wanted me to do this - he suggested I drill pilot holes in each wall or pay a 3rd party to do this and that ARC was not responsible for verifying the details of our home. Not responsible for validating a critical project detail before having you customer pay thousands of dollars?! Extremely poor customer service and frankly, a lazy sales team. I am sure the crews doing the work are great, but the accounts team could use a refresh. I will work with a competitor unless ARC has employees willing to visit their prospective customers!

Any concern brought up, I was either gaslit , ignored or the builder didn't follow through either b/c he forgot or didn't care ( who can say ? ). After two agonizing years, i finally moved in yet was brimming with questions that could only be answered by a respected 3rd party expert. I knew there were areas of the house that were not constructed properly yet having been gaslight so many times, I was confused on what all was defective vs. normal. Big thank you to Mark w/ Domicile, who was my Lead Inspector. Mark carries decades of experience in which I found him to be fair, firm, patient and very educative. Shout out to him for answering ALL of my questions (there were many). Mark's report was very thorough in which I can now focus on areas that need to be addressed. To anyone out there building a custom home, don't make the same mistake I did in waiting until after your move in / final occupancy to book Domicile. Very important! Thank you Domicile/ Mark.

On the phone Mark quoted me an attic insulation price that was similar to my 4 other quotes and…read moreagreed to price match other apples to apples quotes. He seemed knowledgeable, really into the details and like he wasn't going to miss a thing. So I agreed to an "energy audit" that would investigate my house and find issues. Mike was fantastic and personable and performed the $495 "audit". However, the "audit" was a blower door test and combustion test, both of which are already required and included by all the other insulators. The audit missed several other things the other quotes mentioned for free, like my attic ventilation was wasn't up to code. After the lackluster "audit" the quote came in much higher than the phone estimate. When I sent another quote over, Mark worked the price down to so that it was about $495 over the other quote. I agreed because I had already paid for the audit and wanted to be refunded that $495. The morning of the insulation, Mark called right before the team was supposed to be getting there and asked if I'd checked my email to see that the combustion test failed and I wouldn't get the $700 rebate unless I replaced my boiler and water heater. I agree and don't want back drafting or carbon monoxide poisoning. However, the 'audit' was 2 weeks ago and I'd spoken to Mark the day before so he had every chance to let me know, but he failed to mention this issue until the morning of. TL;DR: They might be great guys and do a great job, but do not get the 'energy audit' because it'll be included in any other BPI certified insulation quotes.

AES just insulated my attics and doors, and did a thorough, professional job. I got other quotes…read morefrom businesses with very high Google ratings. But AES came in lower than others, likely because they recommended the insulation solution that was most appropriate for my house. I could understand how folks could get scared away by the $495 audit. But I found the audit report useful and actionable. One key example: the audit correctly identified a health hazard in my basement that needed to be remedied immediately. If you're questioning the point or cost of the audit, I'd just recommend you hang in there and trust the process. The entire cost of the work (including the audit) is fair. And AES's approach is the correct one: You don't necessarily need foam insulation throughout your entire attic, as air generally leaks from specific parts of the wall and ceiling. What these guys propose--a targeted use of foam and plates, in addition to bio-friendly insulation throughout the attic--feels right to me. And the three guys that came to do the work were solid. They knew their stuff, answered all my questions, and paid special attention to some problem areas I identified. They also cleaned everything up well, and didn't even mention how hellish my attic is. (It's nearly impossible to move up there.) For folks that just want someone trustworthy to execute a sensible solution for their house, these guys are it.

Not a Happy customer, I was told there was a $500 rebate…read morefrom Nicor when doing the insulation, nothing at any time was said about having to do the attic in order to get the rebate.

I would highly recommend them- they are clearly experts in sealing and insulation.

Well, the contractor never showed up, did not respond to any phone calls or text.

The Anchor crew showed up on Tuesday and did a fantastic job. We had to divide the project up into 3 phases so Anchor had to come back two more times. Mike and his crew are honest and provided a quality product at a fare price. My General contractor said he was very happy with Anchor and he plans on using them on other projects. I recommend Anchor Building Solutions and would use them again. Great work Mike, thanks.

Nobody enjoys pouring money into the parts of their home they never see -- attics, crawl spaces,…read moreand the like. But when those areas need attention, it's essential that the work is done right and by someone you can trust. Randy and the team at Paragon Insulation & Services delivered an experience I'd recommend to anyone. My attic was poorly ventilated -- damp, musty, and overdue for attention. After deciding to bring in a professional, Randy came out to my home, thoroughly assessed the problem areas, and put together a detailed quote on the spot. The scope of work included removal of the existing insulation, air sealing around all attic entry points, sanitizing, air baffle installation, and installation of new Weather Blanket cellulose insulation. The new cellulose achieves an R-value that meets or exceeds Illinois code requirements. Paragon's pricing was competitive, though admittedly a bit higher than some of the larger corporate outfits. What made the difference was Randy's willingness to walk me through the entire plan and clearly explain what justified the investment. That transparency, combined with the comfort of working with a local, owner-operated business, made the decision easy. The crew came in and completed the job in about half a day -- fast, efficient, and clean. The entire process was documented with photos and videos, all of which were included with the final invoice. While up in the attic, they even took the time to correct some substandard work a prior contractor had left behind on my bathroom exhaust fans. I couldn't be happier with the results. I've already noticed a meaningful improvement in temperature consistency and overall comfort throughout my home. If you're looking for a trustworthy, professional insulation contractor, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paragon Insulation & Services.

Randy and his team did a great job on our attic and crawl space. We had ice dams bad this winter,…read moreand my house looked worse than the neighbors'. One night the heat went out and the indoor temp dropped to 49 degrees, so that sealed the deal, we needed better insulation. They also encapsulated the crawl space with spray foam. Turns out there were mice living down there that we had no idea about. One even fell on a worker while they were pulling out the old stuff. Made sure to tell my wife who was on the fence originally about having this done. Big difference since then. No more mice sightings, heating bills are noticeably lower, and the house stays comfortable even when it's really cold outside. Solid work all around. I'd recommend them if you're dealing with the same issues.
