4 years later - still vacuuming up material from the duct sealing. While the report showed they had sealed the ducts, the improper and inadequate installation was so poor. Total waste of money paid to this contractor. Ducts not cleaned beforehand. Left Untrained and unsupervised staff to do the work. Material did not stay in the ducts. Home damaged. Work done in 2017. Vapor barrier work was okay but again damage while doing the work. Hopefully this company has learned how to do the work properly since 2017.

They were friendly, and kept showing up until the job was done. I was pleased with their work.

Everything went well.

Three workers came out for two days. Our initial conversations with Ryan (the owner of the company) and Jennifer (the person we spoke with for scheduling) were positive. We were however extremely disappointed in the quality of work done.
1. The spray in the walls is uneven. There are areas where there are barely two inches of foam, and many other areas that expanded past the studs. This happened especially in the corners where you really need the insulation to prevent air from leaking.
2. Every single bay required scraping of the foam back to allow us to put up sheetrock.
3. There are bays which upon going over them with the scraper have sounded hollow and with a little pressure revealed large pockets of air where the foam had not been sprayed correctly. The company we hired to finish the job explained that the urethane in the walls appeared to have been mixed at the incorrect ratio and did not bond or expand properly.
4. The baffles they installed in the eaves in anticipation of spraying in the attic were installed very poorly. We purchased more materials and redid them all ourselves, though we were still charged for the baffle work. We ultimately hired another company (Urethane Alaska) to finish the spraying in the attic and were very satisfied with their work.
Overall it just seemed like the workers had no idea what they were doing. We called Ryan to talk about our concerns. He sent back one person who spent less than 30 minutes scraping a few of the areas. We have since put in about 10+ hours of scraping, cleaning and re-applying foam to the missed areas (in addition to the baffle work we did). Subsequent conversations/phone calls to Ryan and his father (who works for the company) were unproductive and became progressively rude and unprofessional.
Do not use this company. We recommend finding another company; we have since gone with Urethane Alaska and are very happy with their service and work.

Weatherize Alaska booked two (2) days to complete this work.  The first day was the crawl space sealing and the second day was the AEROSEAL Duct Sealing.  Everything was completed on time exactly as Ryan Hunt had explained it would be done.  
VAPOR BARRIER & AEROSEAL:  Mikel and his assistant Taylor did the vapor barrier removal and new vapor barrier install work as well as the AEROSEAL work.  They were both very polite, professional, and careful.  The new vapor barrier was installed with good attention to detail to ensure it was secured well for the urethane sealing to be completed.  Also, when they came back for the AEROSEAL, they were very careful and thorough to ensure no glue from the AEROSEAL got on to any item inside my house by covering everything in painter's plastic.  They also went above and beyond by foam sealing areas in my family room where the recessed ceiling and ducting did not have complete drywall enclosing the duct work.  They were great about cleaning up any mess associated with their tasks.
URETHANE FOAM SEALANT APPLICATION:  Ernesto and his brother Elvis did the urethane foam insulation spraying.  They did a FANTASTIC job!  They were extremely professional, polite, respectful, and Ernesto's attention to detail was outstanding!  He did the majority of the spraying and assisted his brother to make sure the spray job was even, thorough, and looked good.  They worked hard and efficiently.  The final result was a generous spraying of foam insulation with perfect sealing of all requested areas.  These two young men did such a fantastic job I would highly recommend them to all my friends.

It was really good. The gentleman came out and he was friendly. He was knowledgeable. He gave us an estimate on the price and the price was right on the estimate. We were really happy with them.
