They were so helpful in all aspects, including helping me sort out the insurance claim.  Their workers showed up on time and their price was fair.  I cannot say enough  how knowledgeable, professional and helpful everyone I dealt with was.  They had terrific integrity in terms of the work that really needed to be done and how they could assist in the most cost effective manner possible and do a thorough job.  They have an outstanding reputation in southern Maine and it is well deserved.

"The gentlemen who sell the product were excellent.  Punctual and answered our numerous questions.  The installation was timely and the laborers were great.  That's where the good stuff stopped.  First of all, there were scuffs all over the ceilings and a hole in the sheetrock where they had dropped a tool in the attic.  Secondly, the installation of the ac grates was shotty at best.  We had to take one down and realized they were only screwed into the sheetrock no strapping or molly bolts.  The biggest issue however, is that we have been without heat on three occassions, had zones running continuously, and had no less than five service calls to them.  We are beyond frustrated after spending so much and are still working to rectify the issue

I have updated our review.  After the last service call, the problems with the furnace have been fixed.  I believe they are now working with a different installation company which should match with their customer service end of things (which as i said was always excellent) we are still waiting for them to come back this summer to complete a few odds and ends and as soon as that work is completed i will give a final review

"It was a good experience in that I feel I got my money's worth.  Some of the jobs I had on my list were not completed due to reasonable concerns (e.g., putting in a vent fan in the bathroom requires an electrician's license which my contractor didn't have).  So I appreciate that he was honest but I ended up almost not having enough work for him to do!  Luckily, with their help we found plenty of work for them to do.  They did a great job finishing off an insulation job in my attic, patching holes and cracks in my ceiling/walls all over the house and a few other projects around the house.  Bill was great to work with and very accommodating.  Overall, this was a very good experience and I would recommend it.  Just make sure you go over your project list prior to the day of work.

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

When temperatures are too cold, it can keep ice from melting, and products like ice melt and rock salt are ineffective. Water turns to ice in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Ice melts on its own when temperatures reach above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Ice melt loses effectiveness in temperatures below -25 degrees Fahrenheit, and rock salt works in temperatures 5 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.

Yes, you should insulate behind shower walls. Insulating helps prevent heat loss, which keeps the shower or tub from getting too cold and helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your bathroom. Additionally, proper insulation and air sealing can help prevent wall rot and moisture buildup. It is recommended to use a high R-value rated foam insulation combined with a vapor barrier.

At a minimum, blown-in insulation lasts 20 to 30 years. Cellulose and sheep’s wool come from natural materials, so they likely max out at around 30 years. Fiberglass and rockwool feature artificial materials that boast lengthy lifespans, up to 50 years, or even longer in some cases. As always, this timeline assumes you don’t run into any issues, such as flooding or mold, that shorten the lifespan.

Insulation can be easy to install, depending on the condition of your walls, but there are many safety considerations and potential challenges involved. For example, most types of insulation are made from materials that can cause irritation if inhaled or if they come into contact with your skin. Additionally, installing insulation incorrectly can actually make moisture issues in your home worse.

While a few icicles on your roof are standard, a large accumulation can be a sign of a bigger problem, such as poor insulation. This is particularly true if you are also dealing with ice dams. If you have numerous large icicles, it is recommended to have a roofing contractor diagnose potential insulation issues and create a plan to solve them.
