We thought we would discover where our energy efficiency problems were, but they instead just told us the cost of repairs for our home. They wanted to completely re-insulate the whole house.

The installers were on time, friendly, and didn't waste time (brought their lunch and ate it in the truck). They answered all my questions and did a wonderful job on the install and cleanup afterwards. These guys were great and I would highly recommend them.

Scheduling was fine. I had no issues and they very informative with any questions I had. When I scheduled, they come within a week to do the work. I was told up-front that they do more than insulation such as energy assessments but there was no pressure to buy additional services through them. A team of four completed the work in about 6 hours.
Description of Work: They provided 800 sq ft of blown-in insulation, retro –fitting of garage walls, vented the fans to the outside and sealed all the holes in the attic space from lights, wires, etc.

This was an Angie deal - pay $99 to get $500 of attic insulation. At first, we got a nice little book in the mail - and a detailed inspection of ways to save energy. According to my wife, they used sophisticated equipment to see where air was getting in through doors and windows, etc. After he left, we got an estimate to take out insulation in the attic and replace it - for $3,000+. No estimates on other ways to save energy. What we didn't get initially (due to a misunderstanding since remedied) - and what we paid for - was $500 of additional insulation added to the attic. However, ultimately we did get what we paid for ($500 of insulation for $99) and the work was done well and professionally. The workers arrived when they said they would and kept us apprised. I'm still a little bothered that it took a little while to get the insulation we purchased - and that they used the occasion to try to get me to buy more insulation (and do more work) than I wanted - but at the end of the day, I got what I paid for and am happy. I have revised my original review (and ratings) now that we've gotten the insulation we paid for.

Response from Arbor Insulation Solutions
Hi [Removed members name] , I was reading your review and I believe there is a misunderstanding as to what was purchased. I'm not sure if you purchased it or your wife, but the Big Deal was for $99 for 500 sq ft of insulation AND an energy assessment. The process starts with the assessment. As part of the assessment, we use diagnostic equipment to determine how efficient your home is based upon air leakage and insulation levels and most importantly what issues our customers are having with their home (hot/cold areas, drafts, etc…). Based on this information, we put together a handful of items to improve efficiency and comfort. The items are listed individually so you may decide which items (if any) you want. We help explain the benefits of each and prioritize them for you. Some people choose all the items, but most will select the ones that make sense for them. For your home, the quote included removing the old insulation (not always necessary but is sometimes suggested if it's really old or contaminated), air seal all the cracks, holes and penetrations in your attic (this is the most important step to improving energy and comfort), install a zippered cover for your attic access and install insulation. It may take a customer several days to decide what they want. As always, if a customer doesn’t want anything but the 500 square feet of insulation we are happy to honor it. No problem. I hope this helps explain our process. We do not want to mislead anyone. I would welcome the opportunity to talk to you. My cell # is 404-386-6939. Respectfully, Scott

Arbor Insulation Solutions was prompted on scheduled day and start time to begin work. For my pets and my safety we stayed at a friend's house while work was being done in my crawl space. The project manager, Sam, kept me informed during the whole process. Several weeks after work was completed I was having issues with my great room not feeling warm. I called Scott to let him know. He said he would get Sam to come out and check on the issue. It was discovered a duct had become disconnected. Even though issue was not due to any work they had done they still fixed the probelm. The Arbor Insulation Solutions team was professional, courteous, prompt and knowledgeable. I would most definitely hire Arbor Insulation Solutions for my future insulation needs.
Description of Work: Arbor Insulation Solutions was contracted to spray foam to my crawl space ceiling, foundation walls and floor joists.

I purchase other services 2 attic door coverings and window caulking. They arrived on time, even calling to let me know the were on the way. They were professional and did a great job. Even cleaning up every thing before they left. The salesman was a very pleasant person, he explained so much about insulation to me, not pushy at all. And the service men were nice people, answered all my questions. I would be happy to do business with them again. And I would absolutely recommend this company.

However, I was not pleased by their lacking clean-up. Scattered blown insulation had fallen on my clothes in the walk-in closet, where the attic access is located. I was surprised that they did not take measures to prevent that from occurring. I found staples in the closet floor carpet below where they had stapled the insulation tent. And the screen was not put back on the window used to bring in the insulation blower.
Description of Work: I was very pleased with the professionalism of both the salesman and the installation crew, as well as the quality of the insulation work itself.

We had bought a Big Deal voucher for Arbor insulation and wanted to improve insulation in the attic of our house. Mr. Cottrell was very knowledgeable and took a lot of time to inspect our house. He performed diagnostic testing to find insulation leaks. He made a lot of suggestions to improve the insulation. His estimate was surprisingly expensive and we decided to get another estimate which took a couple of weeks due to the fact that it was during the holidays. Mr. Cottrell continued to contact us while we were working on getting the second estimate, at one point leaving a message on our phone with a suggested time to come and do the work. I had to contact him again and remind him that we had not made a decision yet and would let him know when we did. We found him to be a bit too pushy. We eventually went with the other company (Aladdin), because their estimate was significantly less expensive while essentially covering all the services we desired and are we happy with the result. We will let the voucher expire.

Response from Arbor Insulation Solutions
I will immediately issue a refund for your mother’s Angie’s List purchase. I don’t want anyone to pay for something they’re not happy with. It’s unfortunate when we learn our customer has a dissatisfied relative on the Angie’s List site. By no means are we a perfect company and we will continue to make mistakes but I am very proud of the fact we can resolve them if given the opportunity. Usually it just a simple misunderstanding. Almost all issues can easily be resolved with a phone call or email including this one. I intentionally list my email as well as my cell phone on the Angie’s List site. What sets us apart from a typical insulation company is that we are certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). BPI develops standards for energy efficiency retrofit work using an open, transparent, consensus-based process built on sound building science. From these standards, they’ve developed professional credentials for individuals that help raise the bar in home performance contracting. We are committed to the highest possible standards. We have more credentialed experts on staff than any other Home Performance company in Atlanta. As a result of our stellar reputation on Angie’s List, they asked us to run a Big Deal for 500 square feet of insulation with an energy assessment. I’ll admit, this promotion isn’t working out like we hoped. The negative feedback we have received is a direct result of this promotion and unfortunately, is based on our quotes - not our work or the results achieved. I believe people understand the value in what we do, but it doesn’t necessarily correlate with a $99 coupon. A lot of companies offer a free evaluation. Our evaluation is the closest thing to a real energy audit without having to pay for one. We use thermal imaging to identify areas improperly insulated and a blower door to measure the amount of air infiltration of the home. The value comes from engaging people so we can educate them on how their home is affected by air loss and inadequate insulation. Often when a customer tries to explain this to someone who was not there, such as you, that person might construe it as a dog and pony show. It is a simple misunderstanding of the building science community’s approach. Our estimates are based on what our customers want to accomplish. The quote usually has several items listed. We work with our customers everyday to help prioritize these items and explain why we recommended each item and how it will improve the area(s) they are concerned about. We really want it to make sense for the homeowner. If they only want a couple of items or none at all, it is perfectly OK with us. I am not concerned about the company that provided your information. But, I do know what we proposed would make a significant improvement to your mother’s home. Unfortunately, you probably will not see any change at all in comfort or savings from that work which is the reason for the price discrepancy. If you are able to find anything on our proposal that would not improve the comfort of your mother’s home and that is not backed up by multiple nationally recognized building science experts, I will do those items for free. Respectfully, Scott Osborne

Arbor Insulation was professional and thorough every step of the process. The evaluation, which came with the Angie's List offer, was an extensive and hands-on analysis of our home's cold spots, using an infrared camera, which was seen (and actually used) by me as well. A proposal, broken down into several options, arrived by email a short time later. We had to postpone the service twice for family concerns, and every time the scheduler was understanding and accommodating. The two-men installation crew was prompt, polite, informative, and worked quickly through the task, actually insulating far more of the attic than I expected.
Description of Work: Provided both insulation for skylights and blown-in insulation for our attic.

I signed up for the deal. They came to my house without the $500 of insulation I was suppose to get. They performed their energy assessment. Offered to calk @wiring and plumbing in my and add insulation @ my attic steps for $839. I told them no thank you. They told me to call back and schedule for someone to come out with the insulation I bought. I can't get them on the phone to schedule. The receptionist takes my info and says someone will call you back and they never do.

I was not satisfied because I have had this done before. The quote was twice the quote of what I’ve had before. I asked for a breakdown of the price and to show my Angie's List discount and all they said was they would take the $250 off the grand total price. I would not recommend them to anyone.

The service turned out good. They were a little late in coming out, and took a month and a half to come out after I purchased the big deal. They said they needed to do an installation for $2,700. There was nothing bad about them, except the time they took to come out. The person who came out did everything else perfectly. I was satisfied.

I purchased the Big Deal at the end of November, hoping to have the service performed prior to the end of the year. With the holidays, weather delays, and my schedule, we were unable to schedule the service before February. I was contacted multiple times so that I could be sure I would be taken care of. Originally, I was scheduled for a consultation, a full on analysis of energy efficiency in my home. I explained that I understood that this is the procedure and did not suggest that my home shouldn't be evaluated, but at the current time I was only interested in having the insulation over my bedroom fixed due to time and budget constraints. There was no problem whatsoever with this, and I am confident that Arbor clearly understands what customers' needs are and will deliver. Steven and Zip came out on time, a bit early, actually, and were very friendly and professional. They were very pleasant and took great care to explain how the work would be done and that they would clean up after themselves. The entire job took less than an hour to complete. I am very pleased and strongly recommend Arbor Insulation Solutions to anyone who is contemplating doing business with them.

Stephen and Zip were very accommodating, and quick and efficient. They laid a tarp on the stairs from the front door to the attic stairs and placed the hose on the tarp. They kept everything clean and did a terrific job spraying the blown in insulation onto the attic flooring keeping it off the areas we use for walking on and storing things. They installed a attic door cover which will keep the air from coming into the second floor area, and foamed around it to seal it. The crawl space batting and ties were installed quickly as well and they left the job clean and tidy. They both worked hard and quickly to complete the job.
Description of Work: Stephen and Zip arrived on time and called about 20 minutes before arriving to confirm their appt. They were very considerate of landscaping as they backed up on the driveway so no branches were broken. I showed them the crawl space and the attic and discussed what was to be done as agreed per contract. They listened and then went right to work. I took before and after pictures and their work was terrific and efficient. They did the crawl space first, where they removed the old falling or worn batting of insulation and replaced them with new ones, along with new tie holds to keep them in place; then they went to attic with their rubber hose and sprayed the blown in insulation in the attic to above the level recommended for R-value in our home.
