Get matched with top insulation pros in Pioneer, CA

"I hired these guys after getting five bids. They were cheaper for the same amount of insulation and they did not try to sell me insulation I did not need"

"Since this remodeling was the first remodeling that we decided to do after a long time since we did our last remodeling that required to hire a contractor to do it. The kitchen that we wanted to remodel, need to includes the cabinets, floors, island, counter tops, hardware, paint and lighting. We also wanted to do as many energy efficient features that will help us reducing the bills during time. Our search was for high quality and low quality and reputable construction companies that can service my area. Landmark construction energy crew was the great find that I was able to talk to and hire. First off their service was top notch. They were very responsive from the first meeting we had, patiently and really wanted to know what I’m trying to do in the kitchen. They were in touch with me during the whole work and made sure to provide me with updates regard anything that was complete and what will be next. What I liked most was that they were extremely detail-oriented. I very much appreciated that, especially given the Major scope of my project and plans. The end results were more than I expected. All the low voltage lightings, the special insulation that they used, the extra protection that they installed in the window that I have in the kitchen and more… All of this features improved the energy protection at the kitchen. They followed up with me the following day after all the final documents were signed off by me about the work in order to make sure that I was happy with the final results. I'm happy to mention that kitchen remodeling project was completed a little bit before the due date."

"Right from the get go Brian was very helpful. He was very up-front and patiently explained all the kinds of insulation and suggested which ones to use. He even went so far as to include the inside wall insulation for soundproofing at no cost since the project was large. Very easy to work with and flexible."

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"we were very impressed with out solar endeavor. The installers came when they said they would and finished their job within the same day. We added insulation to our attic to reduce our heating and cooling for the house and replaced 2 old windows . All the guys were great from Idan who evaluated our home, office staff and installers. We are very happy. "

"It went rough, but we were both at fault. Had to say that first. But I am mostly satisfied. The outside sales person was on time for the walk through. He was nice and seemed knowledgeable. He had a lot of prior experience as a laborer before he became a sales rep. He was able to present his company and offer a quote on the spot. I agreed and gave him a deposit. Off we go. Right? Well, he based his quote on 700 square feet when it was actually 1100. That's why his price was low. You would think that I got a deal. But no. The labor crew only showed up with enough insulation for 700 SF. Not enough. So here is what we had to do. Introduce Jose. The lead man on the project. If it were not for him, it would have went south in a hurry. Turns out that Jose is a good person with a soul, and I am happy to "work with" a great person like Jose. APP is lucky to have him, and I hope they are taking good care of him. Just so you don't think I am fake, the "helper" that Jose had that day was worthless. Didn't want to work because he is a 20 year old kid who was out all night drinking and chasing girls (or boys), and was hung over. I did more 90% more work than he did (yes, I helped Jose. I have a good soul too). I let Jose vacuum out the old stuff, then I made him stop. He understood. Come back when you have 1100SF of insulation. Right? Before he took off, Jose up-sold me on insulating the bottom of my house (in between the floor joists under the sub floor)(under the house), applying a radiant barrier in the attic and switching from blown in cellulose with the pink panther batts. I ended up insulating under the house by myself. Nice. I communicated that to APP, but it got lost in translation. When the day arrived that Jose returned with 1100SF of material to finish the job, he showed up with two helpers. BTW, I had to request the APP office to please make sure Jose was who they sent to complete my job. Regardless of my implicit instructions that I subsequently made with the APP office, that I changed my mind and now want blown in cellulose again, and NO radiant barrier, Jose and crew still showed up with pink panther batts and radiant barrier. Whatever. The crew is there, lets get to work. The reason I only give them a B is because they installed the radian barrier wrong (in my opinion). I did research and radiant barrier should be one inch from the roof sheeting (plywood) if it's hot southern California. They stapled it to the 2x4 rafters so it's really 3-1/2 inches from the sheeting. Not sure if it is even radiating anything at this point. I think I just wasted a $1000. Even so, my neighbor asked me who did the job, and I ended up giving them the APP biz card, so I guess that was kind of a recommendation."

"They custom make the windows and Fed-Ex them to you. We installed them ourselves to save money. Once we put them in, we couldn't hear outside noise anymore. It made a world of difference. I think it has also helped insulate my home a little. For the cost, I think it would have been twice as much to have the windows replaced."

"They came on one day and tore out the old dirty system and installed the new system...they replaced my original metal ducting pipes with a mylar, insulated soft piping.  I thought they would perhaps "upgrade" the disposition of the system and perhaps solve the problem that the downstairs was always cold,  but they just replaced the conduits that were already there...except for one which they said was "inaccessible."  At the end of the day, I noticed that there was no "return" for the air system and mentioned that.  That's when I realized that they weren't really interested in providing a thoroughly "new" system, but just replacing what was there, whether or not it had been adequate.  I was told that I would have to pay for the additional time to open up a return (apparently there was an old one, but it had been boarded over.)  I agreed to do that and paid two hundred and forty dollars separately.  I had wanted them to line the return, since it was just a wooden "trough," but they wouldn't do that.

In any case, the system works and is much cleaner than what I had.  I am not pleased that the exhaust for the propane has its vent under part of the deck and so the fumes go into the downstairs bedroom. 

There was an issue with getting the final inspection and when the county called me about it, I called the company and they agreed to pay the penalty fee that had been incurred.  The inspector passed the system, but said there should have been insulation on the piping near where the propane gets ignited.  Also, there was an issue with the draining situation at the side of the tankless water heater . 

It is now a few years since the work was done and I notice that the big soft tubing that goes from the main heater occasionally falls off and I tuck it back. I'm not sure how well the soft piping will hold up.

They were extremely courteous to me at the start of the job, but did not have patience for my complaints as the job progressed. But I am thrilled that they accomplished getting the system changed!
