Called Northern Winds Insulation in mid April, and a few days later Greg Hughes called back. We set up an appt for him to come to my home to see what I needed done. I needed cellulose blown into the walls of my 2 story home, as well as blown in the attic, and spray foam insulation on my basement walls, rim joists and partial crawl space - in other words, a substantial insulating job from top to bottom.
Greg appeared knowledgeable and friendly at the time, and interested in doing the job for me. He said he would be back "early next week" to pull off siding to get a better idea of how to proceed, and to gather final numbers for a bid. That was over 2 weeks ago. I have called him 3 times and left voice messages, and also left an email through their website asking when they are coming out, but still no response. My last message asked them to let me know even if they were too busy or didn't want to do the job so I could move forward with someone else.
It ticks me off as I am on a time crunch for needing some numbers in front of me for proceeding with a loan to do some substantial work to my home. I have wasted over 2 weeks waiting on him when I could have been out looking for another insulation contractor. I understand this is getting to be the busy time of year for work, but if you tell someone you will be back, then come back. If you tell someone you will get numbers to them for a loan you know they are taking out, then get back to that person with numbers. But to avoid phone calls? Come on - horrible business ethic and rotten customer service is all that is. After two weeks, I have moved on to different contractors and wouldn't use Northern Winds even if they did ever get around to calling me back.

There are numerous holes in the walls where the nail over shot the trim and were pulled back out. The trim was installed over the curtain bracket in the living-room making it impossible to remove the bracket without removing the trim. The metal wrap around the garage door looks horrible the none of the pieces are cut correctly and the corners are not 90 degree angles as the "crimping tool" was not used he bent the metal with a square and scrapped the surface as he tried to push it into place. Without the proper metal screws on hand, he used drywall screws to attach the metal wrap to the soffiting. Unable to properly wrap the windows, Matthew decided to use a vinyl brick mold to fill in the gaps, the brick mold was not only cut incorrectly, but he was going to use calk to hold it in place. Aside from the disaster of the windows, I have found that numerous items broken, damaged, and/or missing. Matthew stated that he could install my new water heater when he was installing the new windows and doors. Come to find out Matthew is not qualified to install water heaters as you must be a qualified electrician to install a water heater in a private residence in Iowa. When confronted with this information, Matthew had Tom Swift a local plumber pull the permit to install the water heater (one week after it was installed). The plumbing inspector for the city stated that the water heater needs to be bonded/grounded to prevent a possible gas leak/explosion. The city plumbing inspector notified Tom Swift that it needed to be fixed, Tom called an left a message that he would like to come and bond the plumbing, I called back and left a message that it would work for me. Tom did not call back nor did he show up, that was a week ago. To top everything off, despite being paid, Matthew has yet to pay the lumber yard for the windows. If Matthew does not pay the bill a lien will be placed on my property. *********WARNING********** DO NOT USE PRIMARY SOURCE CONSTRUCTION

The job was completely professional from start to finish. They did an excellent job. It was a full-day job starting with putting down plastic to protect the floors. Then they jackhammered the periphery, laid Waterguard, a system to drain leakage, put rocks over it and cemented the floor back,...
It took a long time because they are very busy and were working outside as long as they could. The project started January 21 and finished February 23. We had picked up some of the new items ourselves, but they picked up the vanity and all the tub-shower-toilet stuff from A.Y. McDonald's. Ben...

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in East Dubuque, IL
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
