"I've been trying to find an expert in insulation for months to come out and tell me out to properly insulate around a removed chimney and Comfenergy was the expert I needed. Even though the insulation part of the job was too small for Comfenergy (wasn't above their minimum quote value) they were happy to give me their expert advice and I appreciate the time spent as I now know what to ask the roofing contractor to do in order to insulate this correctly. Thanks!"

"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."
"Jason and Alex were on time and the job went well. Completed in approximately 5 hours. Jason explained why some equipment differed from the contract (provided part fit better into existing duct work). Jason noted that the internal components were the same. My wife and I purchased a mid priced unit. The price below reflects an approximate cost. The sales representative (Randy) wanted us to decide relatively quickly noting that now was a slower time for their crews. Working with Scott, Randy adjusted the quote. We had already received one other quote (liked the rep there) so we knew the Rescue Rooter proposal was competitive (even if we did not get truly a break). Our existing system was failing so we wanted to move forward. Jason and Alex explained what needed to be done to maintain the system and how to work the new thermostat. We purchased through Home Depot."
"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! "
"The busy office staff was friendly and professional. My calls and emails were promptly returned. (We did have a minor communication snafu, which we were able to resolve.) Our estimate was scheduled, and Jack came to our home to provide it. He answered all our questions and left a detailed proposal. Once we signed and returned the proposal, the 2-day work was scheduled for 2 weeks out. A snowstorm delayed the start date one more week.
Day 1 - Jason and Justin arrived on time. The first job was insulating some of our basement ceiling copper pipes to help them resist freezing. (One pipe had frozen and burst in February's extended cold snap. It was repaired by a plumber, thus the drywall repair.) The second job was replacing the drywall. It was suggested that I remove the stairwell art so they could bring in the sheet of drywall without harming the art. After the drywall was done, they removed the debris.
After hearing that I was concerned about drywall dust that could result from tomorrow's sanding, Jason gave me a suggestion to minimize the amount of dust: turn off the heat during sanding, and open the windows.
Day 2 - The workers arrived as promised. The office called to make sure I was pleased so far, and that the work was going as planned. The sanding of the drywall, of course, generated dust, but they considerately used a vacuum during sanding, which, combined with the open windows, greatly reduced the amount of dust in the air. (I was understandably elated that this was the first drywall repair where I experienced no respiratory distress!) There's another step before the actual painting begins (perhaps "sealing" the drywall?) The ceiling was painted with paint we provided.
Jason and Justin cleaned up. The job was completed on time, beautifully done.
I would definitely hire Home Pro Roofing and Remodeling again: from the owner, to the office, to the contractors, it's clear that they care about their customers' satisfsction.

"My husband installed a new back door that was not closing correctly. I paid for the Handyman At Your Command Big Deal where you get 4 hours handyman work for $199.00. I had to pay additional because we didn't have the correct supplies to complete the job. The handyman went to home depot and purchased the supplies needed. He had to take off the door completely to balance it. He framed it out and insulated the perimeter outside. It took him 6 plus hours to do the work and shopping. The result was excellent! The door is very attractive and best of all, opens and closes smoothly and gently. I would hire them again to do work on our house. I recommend them !"
"There was an issue with the site manager, who said it would go an certain way, but the actual installer said it would not. I asked if the fireplace was energy efficient, and he assured me it was, as this was the main source of heat for my room addition. They gave me a floor model, and could not tell me how old it was. They did the job right, right away, and on time, but my concern was the unit. They refused to give me any information on this unit, which is very shady. I was put on hold, and when they called back, they did not answer the phone. Who calls you back, and does not answer the phone. The promptness and professionalism is great, but they could have broke down the cost of the unit."
For insulation service projects in Waldorf, keep a digital hygrometer and moisture meter to monitor humidity, which is especially important given the area’s humid summers. Stock up on N95 masks, safety goggles, gloves, and protective clothing for safety. Essential tools include a utility knife, staple gun, measuring tape, flashlight, caulk, weatherstripping, spray foam, and plastic sheeting for vapor barriers. Spare insulation and a portable fan help with attic insulation and ventilation.

Completing insulation service projects in Waldorf can significantly boost your home’s value and resale appeal. Enhanced energy efficiency is highly attractive to buyers, especially with the region’s seasonal temperature swings. Improved insulation increases home comfort, reduces HVAC strain, and may qualify you for local energy rebates.

Helpful?
Your Waldorf home is a strong candidate for insulation upgrades if it was built before 1980, has high cooling costs in summer, or features rooms that are hard to keep comfortable. Signs like persistent drafts, condensation in basements, or ice dams in winter point to insufficient attic insulation. Homes near wooded areas or with crawl spaces are especially prone to insulation issues due to local climate and humidity.
Helpful?
In Waldorf, homes with complex layouts—such as multiple additions, finished basements, or vaulted ceilings—often present insulation challenges. Older properties with outdated wiring or irregular framing can complicate installation, especially in attics or crawl spaces. Moisture concerns are common in homes built on clay soil or near creeks, so evaluating these factors before starting insulation projects is important for long-term home comfort and efficiency.
Helpful?
In Waldorf, homeowners often overlook air sealing before adding insulation, which can reduce energy efficiency. Failing to address moisture control, especially in basements or attics, is another frequent mistake. Choosing insulation with the wrong R-value for the local climate, blocking attic ventilation, or ignoring permit requirements can also cause issues. Consulting a professional is especially helpful for older homes or those with unique layouts.
