I would not recommend JD Gales contracting due to their poor management and scheduling skills. I cannot comment on their construction skills because they cancelled our project after delaying us for almost a year. We had a signed quote from JD dating back to November of 2021, we were informed that the project would be completed by July of 2022, and likely early in the spring of 2022. When spring arrived the project was continuously delayed. He would tell us it would be starting "soon", then something would delay him. He would not return my calls, and he would not inform me of the delays unless I got him on the phone. I understand that delays in construction happen, but when a project gets delayed for over 6 months at some point it becomes a management problem, not a "construction delay". read more

Insulwise team was professional and thorough, and completed the project on time. We had our attic…read moreand part of the garage insulated in October, in time for the frigid winter weather. We have yet to see any energy savings, as promised on their website. Taking weather changes into account which was about 25% colder so far, we also used about 25% more gas to heat the home at the same settings. On the plus side, the room above the garage and second floor bedroom below the attic are more comfortable and less drafty, so we 'll keep tabs and hopefully we'll see better results in the summer with a/c usage.

We had our house insulated this past year, but I didn't want to leave a review until the cold…read moreweather came. And, today, January 28, 2026, it has come. And the results of the work done by Insulwise is now clear. In the past, we could feel the cold coming right through our walls which meant putting on additional clothing even as we turned the thermostat up. That is no longer the case. Strikingly, we can touch the inside walls, facing the outside of the house, and not feel the cold at all. There are no longer cold spots in the house that we avoid. We have turned down the thermostat and still the house is much warmer than it was last winter when it wasn't nearly as cold outside. My daughter and son-in-law noticed the change immediately when they visited and commented on it. In summary, the work done by Insulwise did exactly what we had hoped for. In terms of economics, we are in our 70's and may or may not be here long enough to recoup the savings on our heating bills. But we are so much more comfortable now than we were in past years that we will never regret getting this done; our only regret is not getting it done sooner. Thank you so much, Insulwise!

That being said, I was positively giddy after standing in the bedroom that the guys from Steel City sprayed for me. An unbelievable difference. The room was always cold, and it's not like it wasn't insulated. A previous owner had put 10 inches of blown in fiberglass in the ceiling and 4 inches in the walls. During my renovation I took it all out and was nervous that I was just throwing money away by replacing insulation with new insulation. It will now be the way I do it from now on. Steel City sprayed 8 inches of foam on my ceiling and 4 inches in my walls. The foam was the open cell variety. I was again worried because I had heard the closed cell was better. But, it was more expensive, and money was tight. No regrets. The day after the work I stood in a room that, despite having no heat and being closed off from the rest of the house (dust barrier), was just as warm and cozy as the rooms where the heat was on. It was completely different from the room that became blisteringly hot when the sun came out and frigidly cold when it set. In the interest of full disclosure Jon, the owner-operator of the company asked me to write this review. I'm doing it because in addition to being impressed with the change it has made to my new bedroom, Jon and his crew couldn't have been more nice and just plain fun to be around. Just straight up professionals who knew how to make the most of their day. I'm no expert on all the different foam they can spray, I can only speak for the open cell, but it certainly is worth going this route vs. the other options for insulation.

As a local general contractor who has used Steel City Insulation they are very professional and…read moreconscientious, also thorough, left the site clean and tidy. Great work!!! John also has donated work for a local family in need, it was a blessing the family very much needed and appreciated, the difference the spray foam made in comfort and cost of utilities was awesome.

EDIT: The company sent supervisors out to examine the damage, and those fellas were really…read moreprofessional. They re-mudded the damaged plaster and attempted to fix the scratched floor. Very pleased with the follow-up. Moves my 1-star review to a 4-star review. I have a mixed review. Mincin insulated my home as part of a Columbia Gas program for reducing energy use in old homes. First, Jimmy Bickerton and his crew were fantastic. They were polite, informative, and most importantly, hard-working. That is the heart of this review: Jimmy's crew went out of their way to blow in the insulation from the outside so as to leave undisturbed the old plaster and finished walls of the interior. This meant moving ladders constantly, working in the drizzling rain, etc. Only once were they forced inside, and that was because the space between the outside wall and the interior wall was unusually thin--forcing them to put bullet-size holes inside for foam. The other crew did more damage in a single day than Jimmy did all week, or conceivably could do in a year. They persuaded my wife and me that it would be best for them to blow-in from the inside, and it was not clear to us what that meant: softball-size holes every 8 inches in our finished interior, *including* through the wood paneling. The USG patch jobs are amateurish *at best.* It will take me a month of Saturdays just to get the walls paintable, but nonetheless, there will be no matching the existing textured plaster. To top it all off, somebody moved a bed across a brand new maple floor and left a gouge I could flood and float a boat in. Absolutely no excuse for this kind of careless work. I, of course, have no recourse, so I am warning the public: If you use Mincin, request Jimmy Bickerton, and make the other lazy crews that come get a ladder off the truck. To be clear, as was confirmed by other crews, the crew that went inside did so because it was convenient for them, not because it was necessary.

Amazing service! The person who came out to spec my job was so knowledgeable and patient, helped me…read moreunderstand the options. Then they worked to get me on the schedule, especially touching winter, as they're all booked up. When the crew arrived, so friendly. We had covered much of our rooms with plastic, but they brought drop cloths and even more plastic. These insulators took good care to cover all the surfaces, even using painter's tape to carefully apply to the baseboards, eliminating all chance of dust! The holes are closed up so nicely and smooth, it will be so easy to paint. The house is nearly just as clean as before this major project happened in mere hours!! If your home is drafty, do yourself a favor, and schedule an estimate. Never been excited to see a utility bill before, and I'm looking forward to it reducing!!

Pittsabana's team is all of this and more! From the first call to receive a free estimate through to completion, Maria, Ivan and the Pittsabana team were a pure delight to work with. Their knowledgeable and professional service made the potential headache of major home repairs dissolve. I initially contracted Pitttsabana to remove the ineffective box gutters from my 1900 home that had been poorly repaired in what some might call a 'fix and flip'. I called for the estimate on a Friday of a holiday weekend and Ivan showed up first thing Monday morning to take drone imaging of the gutters in order to provide the most accurate estimate. I was provided two estimates: one to repair the existing box gutters and another to remove them and install a seamless aluminum gutter system. In the end, I chose the second. However, upon removing the box gutters, Ivan' team gained access to the attic for the first time as I have no internal access and discovered considerable water damage, NO Insulation, and shingles slapped on top of other shingles to hide the actual state of the roof!! (No wonder my gas/electric bills were so high!) Ivan contacted me immediately with images and knowledge of how to go about fixing the roof, and again I was provided with multiple options to choose from. Ivan was willing to come to the house and patiently walk me through my options, explaining the differences between the plans, as much of this was new to me. This allowed me to pick the plan that best fit both my aesthetic and my budget! Ivan's team arrived early every day, worked diligently, and adapted their work schedule to meet the needs of my family (ending earlier than they otherwise would have one day). They thoroughly cleaned the area every day to ensure that my yard was safe for my dogs. AND they went above and beyond, fixing some 'poorly flipped' items they discovered along the way! By the time all was said and done, I have a functioning gutter system, a STUNNING new roof with proper ventilation, properly lined and capped chimneys, and a crew I would consider friends! 20/10!

The Bridge City Team provided the required documentation for HOA and helped us get through the approval process within 24 hours (after I sent the request for HOA approval to the wrong email and wasted over a week and a half). My deck seems to be more substantial, stronger and better looking than those in surrounding townhomes. The Bridge City Team even helped us regrade the back yard, which had been a stony mess as with many new construction builds. For phase II of the build, the Bridge City Team will be building a stamped concrete patio walkout under the deck, retaining wall planters at the side of the townhome as well as a gabled roof above the deck. For those in the Pittsburgh region who need to build a patio or deck, need interior or exterior concrete or masonry work completed, need to transform your interiors or install hardscape, outdoor kitchen and fireplaces, please consider using the excellent Bridge City Team.
