Anyways, Jim McKenna came over and was a breath of fresh air. He was tremendously knowledgeable, responsive to our questions and needs, treated us with respect, didn't try to sell us stuff that we didn't need, came in with the best price, and helped us through the PEPCO rebate program. His work crew was highly professional and polite. They even did a great job cleaning up! So, we did the shopping for you: go straight to Green Step!

The project was delivered on time and exactly as we had discussed with them. Where we were most impressed though was in the level of customer service they provided. After removing the insulation in our basement, we found a few surprises that were covered up by the old insulation. Founders was extremely accommodating as we worked with other contractors to get those issues (unexpected and unrelated to insulation) squared away. I realize having the other contractors come in was probably pretty disruptive to their workflow, and Brian and his team said he understood our situation and did everything he could to help us out. I will certainly reach out to them again with our next insulation project.

Not true, their own people told me the job could be done. Work was abandoned on 11/18 and still no resolution on 12/27. Communication is poor internally as well, as they keep sending workers to my house to do other projects that were part of the scope. No one clued them in. Poor management on all levels.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this company…read more I was initially given a timeline indicating the project would be completed in time for my MEA application. In my case, that timeline was not met, and I had to request an extension, which I understand may or may not be approved. I potentially lost funding for thousands of dollars. The installation process took significantly longer than originally indicated. My project began in August of last year, and I did not receive permission to operate until mid-April of this year. in my experience, communication was inconsistent, with delays in responses and updates. In early to mid-March, I reached out multiple times and was told there were no updates. After escalating my inquiry, I was later informed that a visit had already been scheduled for the following week, which I had not previously been made aware of. This was confusing and raised concerns for me about how scheduling was communicated. Why are they making in house access appointment without ever confirming with me and telling me no appointment has been made at the same time? During one visit, I observed that the door was left open for periods of time in very cold weather (in the 20s °F), despite my requests to keep it closed. When I raised these concerns, I felt that my feedback was not fully acknowledged, as the responses I received focused more on explanations than on addressing the issues I had raised. Overall, my experience was frustrating and did not meet my expectations for professionalism.

I called Pride Insulation to give me an estimate on adding insulation to my home. Hal called and…read moregave me a time and date for the estimate. Warning sign #1 - Hal arrived 20 minutes late but I thought oh well things happen. Warning sign #2 - When I showed him where the attic hatch was he informed me he didn't have a ladder and asked if I had one he could use. Warning sign #3 - Hal then informed me that the light on his phone wasn't working well and asked if I had a flashlight he could borrow. After supplying Hal the items needed he finished and gave me an estimate. Afterwards I had several questions and tried to reach Pride Insulation. I left several voice mail and email messages. No response. Finally, I left a deserved review on Yelp and quickly received a call from Hal (Pride Insulation). Hal said that this review would hurt their business and asked if there was anything he could do to help the situation. I explained that I had called and sent email and had no response. And if this is how they treat a potential customer image what kind of response you would get if there were problems once the job was finished. Hal agreed to work and correct the problems. We agreed for him to do the work on Monday February 27, 2017. I paid him 50% after he argued that he usually gets 100% of the money up front! Hal then said he would call me the next day to set up the insulation install. So I waited all day Tuesday. All day Wednesday. All day Thursday. No call. Tonight, Thursday evening I called Hal and canceled any insulation install and requested a refund of the deposit. Be careful doing business with any insulation company that: (1) Arrives late with no call. (2) Doesn't have a ladder. (3) Needs to borrow a flashlight. (4) Won't return phone calls or email. (5) Asks for 100% deposit. (6) Doesn't do what they say they will do.

We had an energy audit completed with Zero Draft. They did a thorough inspection of our home to…read moreidentify energy savings and recommendations to improve heating/cooling efficiency. During the inspection they also provided water flow management devices for our showers, replaced bulbs with LED, and installed a smart surge protector in our media room. The report they provided gave us recommendations for insulation, tuneup, and other installations to help improve our HVAC efficiency. The quote included prices and rebates available. We easily selected the options we wanted and scheduled the work. It was a fraction of the cost if we had engaged contractors without going through the energy audit. They managed the rebate process and we only had to pay the remaining balance. We had blown-in and spray foam insulation done in our attic. Once this was complete, Zero Draft retested and showed that the install increased our efficiency by over 20%. I can actually feel and see the difference. It's noticeably warmer inside. Our roof used to have frost on half and not on the other half because so much heat was rising up. After they installed our insulation the entire roof stays frosty and more f the heat stays in our living spaces. They even got into spaces I never thought were accessible!

I've never had exorbitant electric bills, but the top floor of my two story town-house was always…read moremuch hotter than the rest of the house. I even bought a thermometer to prove to myself that it was that hot and I wasn't crazy. Well, there was a 10 degree difference and it made sleeping difficult. So, I gave Efficient Home Llc (EH) a call and they came to my home for an energy audit. The audit was $350 and basically included a walk-through of the living spaces, attic, exterior and a 'fan test' to see how much air was seeping into the house. The rep. was really nice and seemed very knowledgeable. He made a few suggestions, but the biggest one was to get insulation added into the attic. Also, I have vaulted ceiling in the upstairs rooms and the rep. pointed out that they create a 'knee wall' in the attic and that special attention would be paid to that. Well, we signed some paper work to have the job done and their installers came out about 5 weeks later. The installation guys were very nice and let me closely investigate their work and made all the corrections I asked for. They installed special material for the knee wall and blasted in cellulose. They also sprayed everything with expanding foam. And I mean everything, a couple of times, they plugged some holes that I would have rather stayed open for easy access later if i need to service the wires that ran through them. Oh well. Success! My upstairs now is less than two degrees warmer than the rest of the house and even though it wasn't really my primary concern, my already modest electric bills have been about 25% less than last summer, but last summer was also hotter. Oh, and they even helped me to fill out my government rebate / utility paperwork. So, all in all, the people who came to my house I felt were very competent and paid close attention to detail and got me the results I wanted at a fair price. So, the -1 star is for the office people. They never called me about anything, I always had to call them. I had the work done some months ago, so I don't remember the details, but they never called me to tell me that everything was in place for an installation, and I called them two weeks later, and they were like "oh, we were going to call you... tomorrow... to schedule an appointment." Ya, right. At some point, I had to give them a final payment for the work, and I actually had to call them some time later and be like "Hello? Did you want to get paid?" So, I recall two times that I felt like my paperwork had fallen through the cracks and I had to call them to remind them I was a customer.
