"Very prompt. Gave us a great price and did a wonderful job installing insulation in a tight area. Would definitely hire him again."

"Highly recommend. Exceptional and professional service from their contractors and most especially by Nolan Walker (Performance Consultant). Nolan showed photos taken of my home's ductwork and insulation and provided a list of options and the cost of each project so that I could make a well informed choice of which projects to pursue. He took his time and was honest and understanding - not aggressive like other companies I have dealt with. His test-out and follow-up appointment was just as thorough. It was a pleasure working with him."

"These guys were professional, on time and communicated very well... I would recommend this company to you for all your Spray Foam Insulation needs..."

"5 stars!! Their pricing was the most competitive, and their communication was outstanding! Had our THOW insulated with closed cell spray foam and they did an awesome job from the very beginning of the process until the end. Would highly recommend!"

"Window & roof insulation quick, easy, & affordable!"

"I haven't hired anyone yet as I am comparing quotes. However, this company came out today to evaluate and do a home energy audit. Gary Gearheart and his assistant (trainee) were very thorough in reviewing what my home may need. I observed Gary taking the time to teach/explain to his trainee and I learned much myself. I also asked a lot of questions, and they answered them all. It was a very good experience and I now know my home is safe from gas leaks and definitely needs insulation. From what I observed today, I would highly recommend this company. Update: 1/6/2020 I did hire this company and even though a few mishaps happened when they installed the insulation on the outside walls of my home, it's been a good experience. They have made sure to fix anything they was not to my liking and a few pieces of siding that got broken doing the job. The owner Robert, is very attentive and through about making sure I am satisfied. All the workers were professional and respectful. I would definitely recommend!"

"The service was great! Dominic, the owner, was knowledgeable and the crew of guys who replaced the roof did a fantastic job. Highly recommend!"

"Brian was extremely excellent from start to finish! He thoroughly explained all rebates and incentives which made the project extremely affordable. My attic insulation project was seamless! Excellent communication, friendliness, and amazing job cleaning up. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Smart Energy Pros!"

"Excellent workmanship!!!! I highly recommend them for any insulation project. Very professional and respectful. Answer all my questions and took time to make sure I understood. Superior company."

"Debbie, the AC&R salesperson, was very knowledgeable and confident. They were the 2nd quote I got for work and came in even lower than I expected (which gave me pause as a low bid is a red flag). But true to her word, they did the work professionally (mostly...see below) and promptly. While I had another company do the energy audit for the Pepco rebate, AC&R took over the work, did the blown fiberglass one day and the spray foam the next.



For the blown fiberglass in the attics above our additions, they added spray foam (from a can) around any gaps per the contract and foam board baffles at the soffits. The installer noted that all our soffits were blocked and the batting insulation was too wide for the rafter channels, so he leveled it out as best he could to ensure an even coating of blown insulation. At the end, he sealed up the gaps between the attic and our to-be-finished upstairs (cape cod style, so all one room).



For the spray foam insulation, the team came in the next day, and I had to be out of the house due to fumes. I did come back around noon as they expected to be done well before then. They didn't know I came in and I went to the back of the house to watch TV on my work break. The one annoyance was during their cleanup, one of the installers came down into our kitchen and then saw me. He said he was looking for a vacuum cleaner to clean the stairs. I told him don't worry about the carpet as it was getting pulled up, but this was the one piece of unprofessionalism I noted above. Contractors should NEVER use the homeowner's property; they should bring their own tools, including vacuums!



While the spray foam can get very messy, they kept the splatter mostly contained to inside the crawlspace, not the finished flooring. However, I was surprised that they didn't tape off the outlet covers or light switched. since the particles are so small, we're going to have to replace the switches/receptacles at our cost. Also, there was a storm door screen that wasn't covered and now needs cleaned. Basically, I think they should have taken more care in covering the very few items we left upstairs and the outlets/switches.



They didn't spray around the window frames (large gaps where window weights used to be) because the open cell foam would expand too much. If I wasn't there, I think they would have just left, but it was clear in our contract discussions they needed to insulate those spaces too. They used a few cans of "Good Stuff" equivalent, but didn't fill in the gaps entirely. It did the job well enough, but it's a ding against them as I expected more preparation.



Lastly, I thought that AC&R would walk me through all the scheduling and final "test out" (for the Pepco rebate), but I had to contact them and schedule with someone different each time. They were always prompt, but I expect the experts to know to do this for/with me rather than expect me to know the process. I go through it once in a lifetime while they do it weekly.



While the end of the review sounds more negative than positive, I would definitely recommend AC&R out to others as they're priced right, they have been in business for over a century, and like any contractor, you just need to follow up to be sure everything is done to your satisfaction.
