What is most amazing is that we were not expecting improvements in home circulation until winter. However, there was an immediate improvement in summer temperatures in the upstairs. We have scarcely used the AC and the house stayes almost uniformly cool.
appointment and came into my home. He did a "blower door test " on our
house and checked for air leaks. Kevin gave me an estimate of how much
it would cost to air seal and insulate the attic area of our house. 2
days later I scheduled the work to be done by Kevin/Green Home
Winterization. Kevin had to cancel the work because of some equipment
problems. He agreed to reschedule the work with me shortly thereafter.
Kevin never returned the call,and I had to call him 4 times more and
only got his voice mail. He never did return my call even after I asked
him to PLEASE provide the courtesy of a return phone call. I went with
another company and was treated much better. This was the first time I was ever completely blown off by a contractor. Very strange, and I could not recommend that you trust this company.
"Actually [removed member name] agreed to have the work performed if we could get the work done within 2 weeks, I rearranged my schedule and squeezed his project in on the schedule. Then [removed member name] contacted me 2 days before the job was to be performed and stated he had to replace drywall before we could do the work on his home. Frustrating for me because I had to scramble to get work for my employees to keep them working on 2 days notice. I never heard back from [removed member name] that the drywall was completed for us to perform the work. It is a shame that homeowners that write reviews enter information that is partially accurate."
His team came to do the work that we agreed upon a month or two later. They were quiet and efficient and took the time to explain all the work they did. It only took one day and they were done. Ever since then my house feels much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The problem areas (under my fireplace and breakfast nook) are no longer problems and my energy bill is much lower.
Overall I am very happy with the work that was done.
Crew showed up as scheduled on first day - spent the day sealing all access points (including wiring, wall joints, can lights, speakers, fireplace, ductwork)by placing special boxes over lights and speakers, then using spray foam to seal around the boxes, all wiring, etc. Spray foamed all crawlspace walls. In a few instances, the spray foam found openings that allowed it to penetrate into the house (around bathroom vents, poorly sealed ductwork, etc.) and the crew was right on top of it getting it cleaned up.
Came back the next day laid moisture barrier in crawlspace and used blown insulation in the attic. In addition, they also built an "airlock" around the attic access which not only prevents heat loss through the access, but also prevents insulation from falling through when the access is opened. When the crew finished, Kevin came back and inspected their work and conducted a new pressure test and thermal imaging on the house to ensure that all problems had been resolved.
Without seeing new utility bills, I cannot say how much this will save in the long run, but we have already noticed a huge difference in how long the A/C runs and how the house feels, and we are confident that this will result in a substantial cost savings in the future.Kevin and his crew were very professional, courteous and thorough, and we would absolutely use them again if needed.
