"Person who visited was very polite and noted that what I purchased was likely not something that would meet my expectations. I wanted an energy audit, how my systems could be improved in home, lighting, heating, insulation and air conditioners. What I got was a list of things they could work on and the price to do that work. The work list in no way was considered an energy audit, rather it was a punch list of things I could do based on their visual inspection. I did not have a comparison of work and benefit/savings calculation. There was no checklist of inefficiencies and how that translated into energy losses. For example, multiple hi hat lights in house, they spoke about boxing and insulating a few, less than 10, when I have almost 90 in house. Overall I was disappointed, the tech who came said the offering needed to be better presented prior to start of work."
"We had a horrendous situation with a basement floor installation that went wrong leaving our house full of fumes, and a week later we discovered our basement was contaminated by asbestos in the process. When we called Bill and Contractors Unlimited, they were extremely responsive. Although other companies gave us bids, Bill was able to work his schedule to fit us in weeks sooner than the others. Although the cost was a bit more, that saved us money because we were displaced and could not even go into our house because of the fumes. CU set up negative air machines to replace the air, they followed asbestos abatement laws, they cleaned every item that could be salvaged in our house. They even saved more than we thought which really reduced our overall expense. Bill and his team were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and really went out of their way to ease our stress from this situation. At the end of their process, Bill arranged for a air quality inspection which we happily passed - able to return home. I would gladly recommend Contractors Unlimited for asbestos abatement. I just wish we had called them before the floor guys created such a disaster. Thank you Bill! "
"They were great. I did not use them because someone that lives near me was a roofer, which I didn't know at the time of purchase, and they beat this companies price. Otherwise, I would not have hesitated to use this company. "
"Fantastic work! Fast, easy and professional. These guys know what they are doing. We also used Accurate Insulation last year when we bought the house, and they provided whole-house insulation to add to the original 1965 builder insulation. They were able to provide advice on what would be too much insulation and could cause poor indoor air quality. Would use them again anytime. "

Yes, even though frost-free and freeze-proof faucets are designed to withstand winter weather, it is still recommended to cover them with an insulated cap, especially during periods of extreme cold. These faucets work by keeping excess water inside the home's heated space and using a downward slope to drain, but this protection can be compromised. For the faucet to work correctly, you must always disconnect any attached hoses before temperatures drop below freezing, as a hose can trap water and lead to freezing. Ultimately, covering all outdoor faucets, even freeze-proof models, is the best way to prevent frozen and burst pipes.
A radiant barrier is a form of insulation topped with a reflective material designed to keep homes cool during hotter months. It is generally considered worth the investment if you live in a hot, sunny climate, as the cost can be recouped over time through lower energy bills. Installation costs typically range from $0.10 to $1 per square foot. After installation, homeowners in warm climates may save between $7 and $15 per month, potentially reducing their electric bill by 5% to 10%. The exact savings will vary depending on your location and the type of barrier chosen.
Without a doubt, insulating a garage door is a surefire way to make your home more energy efficient. Not only does insulating your garage door reduce your electric bills, but it also helps protect your valuables inside your garage, all while making for a quieter interior space.
In regions that drop below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, your car's battery is at risk of malfunctioning in a garage that drops dangerously low. So, homeowners who reside in extremely cold climates can especially benefit from insulating their garages.
A vapor barrier can last over 20 years, but they are vulnerable to pests, flooding, and other natural disasters. If your home weathers a storm or is treated for any pest infestation, make sure to have a drywall pro come check the integrity of your vapor barrier. It’s also important to have a pro install a vapor barrier since improper installation can lead to tears or leaks in the barrier that shorten its lifespan.
A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.
