"I originally reached out to Eagle regarding insulation under my house. We discussed that job and then we discussed attic insulation, which I knew to be a problem, and they were able to complete both jobs at the same time. Dustin is very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions on the spot. All of the people that I have come into contact with, from Dustin and Justin to the workers involved and the salesman and office staff, were pleasant, courteous, and professional. The work was done well and at what I believe was a very fair price."

"They did an excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves really well. They explained everything in a way that we could understand. If we had any questions they were willing to answer and be really helpful. There sales person really knew his stuff. They painted the metal roof and the place where we went to pick the colors was really nice. They were really quiet when they were doing the work. They screw in the nails instead of nailing them.
