The 2026 Home Energy Upgrade Initiative…read more Inquiries were made to Keeney in Neenah regarding the attic insulation upgrade for a 1954 ranch-style brick home located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the attic lacked adequate insulation, with only 2-3 inches of deteriorated insulation present. Additionally, the entire attic, ceiling, and chimney required vapor sealing and the removal of old insulation. To ensure optimal sealing of the home, the basement exterior rim joist should also be foam sealed. Prioritize Energy Testing: Conducted both before and after the re-insulation of the home. The purpose of this test is to identify the existing insulation characteristics of the home and compare them to those after re-insulation. Insulation Team: Tyler, Nick, and Trevor - all highly skilled and professional individuals who consistently provided us with updates throughout the entire process. The attic upgrade process involves several steps: 1. Removal of old insulation. 2. Chimney wrapping and proper ventilation of the bathroom vent fan. 3. Covering the pod ceiling light and adding vent panels for the eaves. 4. Sealing the entire attic and ceiling with spray foam. 5. Spraying in 17 inches of cellulose insulation (fire retardant, pest retardant, higher R-value, and 100% recycled). 6. Construction of a new attic access cover with insulation. Basement Rim Joist Sealing: The entire basement rim joist was sealed with foam. Prior to this work, we had capped the concrete block basement wall tops with rigid foam and caulked in 2022. Current Residence: Acquired in 2022, necessitating extensive maintenance. Previous Energy Upgrades: 1. In 2022, the furnace and ducting were replaced. 2. In 2022 and 2025, the 1954 windows were replaced. 3. In 2026, the outdated air conditioning system was replaced with a Bryant VAN 290 Heat Pump. Why Choose a Heat Pump: Prioritize Energy Efficiency Conclusion: 1. Keeney's sales process was entirely transparent. 2. The initial energy testing revealed that our home requires upgrades. 3. Scheduling was flexible and accommodated our timeframe. 4. The work was completed as expected and met our expectations. 5. The final focus on energy testing is pending. That concludes our conversation for the time being, Donna and Dave.

I had my attic reinsulated about a week ago and can definitely tell the difference. My experience…read morewith Keeney Home Services was painless. Damean, Hunter and Noah arrived on time, made sure their travel path to and from my attic was sufficiently protected, and they then went about their business expeditiously. Damean kept me informed on duties for each day and invited questions, which he answered readily. My next project with them is gutter replacement, and I expect to have the same quality experience.

When we wanted a little work done on our new house, our realtor recommended Larry (the L of L & S…read more-- S being for his wife). And boy, am I glad we listened to her, because Larry is a real find! He was happy to come out to the house even before we closed on it to look at the kitchen and discuss what we wanted done, and all his quotes have been bang-on -- if he says it'll be $107, it'll be $107. Larry did a great job making room in the kitchen for a dishwasher, taking apart an existing cabinet and creating a new one out of those materials. If I didn't know what he did, I'd never guess. He also installed and ran the necessary lines for our new appliances, including our weird cooking sink, which works great. Larry put up a nice privacy fence in the yard, including an interior access-only gate, which frankly, is just what we needed, and quite clever. Everything he does, he does right -- a simple job of replacing our bathroom fan with a model that includes a light became a little more complicated when he discovered that the fan hadn't been vented properly to the attic. But no problem, for just the cost of the additional materials needed, he took care of that. So if you need any kind of carpentry, kitchen, or general handyman work done, I can't recommend Larry highly enough. He's been great, and we'll definitely be calling him for more work!

We have lost important items due to water damage and they will not even tell us what the problem is so we can hire someone else.

I needed a new roof on my garage at my lake house in Crandon, WI. The roof was in bad shape, and…read moreneeded to be replaced ASAP. It's tough to find good contractors in the north woods, so I reached out to 5 or 6 different contractors to see if they could put on a new roof for me. This was in November, and it was already winter... so I didn't think the job could get done until spring. Well... I never heard back from anyone... EXCEPT NextGen contractors. In fact... he called me back within an hour!! We discussed what I needed to have done, and Tyler (the owner) told me they just finished a big job, and he could put my new roof on in 2 days!! His quote for the job was very well priced... in fact, much cheaper than I thought it would be. I agreed to the job, and I had a NEW roof 2 days later! AND... they did an amazing job!! Great communication, Great work all around. I HIGHLY recommend NextGen Contractors for any work you would need done. PLUS... they will pretty much go anywhere in the state of Wisconsin!! Great work and Great guys!! PS... I STILL have not heard back from any of the OTHER contractors I contacted... LOL.
