Get matched with top insulation pros in Princeton, MN

"Exactly as the same as the first time I air sealed my attic in my previous house. Last year when we decided to sell our house I was inspecting my house as I would have if I was purchasing it. I noticed a small (1/4") gap between the master bathroom vent fan grill and the ceiling. I could not adjust it. Upon further inspection I realize it was because the foam that was installed when my attic was air sealed had expanded creating the 1/4" gap. I had that work done two years prior by Houle Insulation. I contacted Arne and inquired if he had any suggestions. His only suggestion was that he would correct the problem. Two days later he had two workers in my attic correcting the issue. Just like the first time, they were prompt and cleaned up after the work. I offered to pay, he would not have it. He said he should have noticed when the job was originally completed two years prior. There was no discussion or haggling, he simply said he would correct it. As impressed as I was with the lower energy bill, I was more impressed with how he and his team comported themselves. Also my house was more comfortable because the temperature was more uniform within my house. This year when we moved into our new house, built in 1992, the first thing I did was call Arne to air seal the attic. My choice of whom to hire for air sealing my attic was a no brainer, Houle Insulation. They also performed a blower door test. They also sent in all the information required for me to receive an energy rebate from my utility company. The best recommendation I can make is that when I decided to air seal our new home the first person I called was Arne. He made a wise decision to correct what needed with correcting without any questions. He did what should have been done, and therefore he got my repeat business and I was happy to give my business to him!"

"Very well, these guys are great, they seal everything right and load tons of insulation. My house is now at a R60. And this was not cheap, however I do not expect heating costs to go down for many years to come unless we all go solar."

"I had a great experience with Century Insulation, they were happy to answer all my questions, offered a fair price and the work went smoothly."

"Removing some of the old insulation and installing the foam insulation went well.  The rest of the project had some hiccups.  The job started on July 22nd and finished on November 18th.  It was to be approximately  a one week job.  In order to do the insulation work, all of the furniture in the living area had to be moved to the center of the room in order for the workers to cut out pieces of sheetrock so that the foam insulation could be installed.  Between the cutting and everything else, all of my personal belongings were covered with grit, old insulation, and dust that comes from using power tools to cut the sheetrock.  I had been told that all of my belongings would be covered.  They weren't, which I discovered when I came upstairs to see how they were doing. After some very heated words from me, I found sheets etc to use to cover everything as they did not come equipped to do so.  I am still cleaning grit etc. from every genealogy paper and object in that room.  When it came to the kitchen door there were some problems for the workers because this house is more than 80 years old.  There was a lot of time spent to get everything to work properly so that the door would fit.  In doing so, a small chunk of stucco that was located just above where they were working fell off the house.  They did discuss what to do about it but it wasn't resolved.  That still needs to be repaired next Spring.  There was confusion about who was responsible for installing and painting the trim upstairs so it wasn't completed until Nov 18th.  The furniture was put back into place on that same day and I could finally use the room again.  There is still some trim in and outside the kitchen that needs painting come Spring.  The interior of the kitchen door needs to be sandpapered and repainted so that it is all smooth and looks professional.  The storm door had been installed years ago when the house was not quite so uneven and at that time about 4 inches had been cut off of the bottom of the door to make it fit. Because of how bad this now looked, the plan was for me to buy the storm door and they would install it gratis.  Later on, because of the communication problems and the extra amount of time it took to finish the project, the company decided that they would both buy and install the door for me.  They bought a better door than I would have and it looks great.  [The storm door was not part of the original contract].  I gave them a "C" in responsiveness because their communication skills need a lot of improvement.  Keeping in touch with your client  on a weekly basis is not too much to ask for.  And I had very little contact with my project manager during this time period of July to November.  He actually thought the job was finished but never took the time to call and ask me if it was done and was I happy with the outcome.  Just doing that would save them from a lot of angry clients.  The workers who came were all very professional,  focused on their jobs, did not waste time and were very friendly.   As to whether I would hire this company again is uncertain.  From a quality standpoint I definitely would.  From a communication standpoint, only with a lot of improvement."

"Mark and his crew showed up on time (Friday morning) to perform the work.  They initially laid down pads and painters sheets since blowing in cellulose insulation can get quite dusty/messy.  They performed the work exactly as described in the bid.  Insulating my attic to R60 (up from what it was of R12-15) and filled in all the joists, etc.  They even build a wooden platform around an air handler in the attic so it can still be maintained with ease.  One of Mark's co-worker spent most of the time in the basement fixing the frozen pipe issue.  He applied insulation and sealant in a crawl space near the main water line and reseated an air vent behind the wall, while applying more insulation.  He even went to a local hardware store and procured a vent to cover up a hole in the wall we wanted to leave exposed so warm air can flow through (didn't even ask or think to charge me for the vent).  The job lasted about 6 hours (which was exactly what Mark quoted).  They cleaned up with a shop vac so the house looked very clean when they left.
All in all, was very pleased with the professionalism, knowledge and service provided by Mark and his crew.  I proudly displayed a sign in my front yard advertising his services to others and would recommend him to family/friends.

"Another reliably good service transaction from Cady and Dustin (and two roofing sub-contractors). We got an estimate for this project during a previous visit. Price was competitive with another Angie's-Listed electrician. We went with a known entity. NuTone 2.5-sone bath fans, with switches independent of the light switch, were installed in two bathrooms. A separate switch had to be installed in one of the locations because of room configuration; the other room had a simple replacement of switch type. It was an all-day project, but work was good and a decent value. Dustin kept up cleaning attic insulation throughout the day. Only minor complaint I have is a small divot put into the wall plaster near one of the switches."

"Two man crew and a supervisor occasionally showed up, but the two men were BETTER then i had every anticipated.
I'm not sure how long the two men that installed my eGress have been doing this kind of work, or how long they have been working for Greene Construction Inc, but they have been trianed in great.
They took very good care of my home and of my property, the detail of the exterior and the interior is a wonderful addition to my home.
 I had choice to go with a wooden treated exterior WELL , instead of the metal one, so again the two men crew hand dug the hole, CUT a hole into my house, as i came and went, I seen them use what seem to be 3 different types insulation around the window, some kind of thick tape, some kind of wired sticky expanding foam, and what ever else, and small pebbles rocks which are about 10 inchs below the very bottom of the new installed eGress window.
Just two days after the job, we had some serious rain, and i had no fear to my home, but 3 hours after the rain had stop, I went to the exterior to check just how the new WELL had head up, if it had any water pooled, and as the crew told me, there should not be, and there was none.
SO would i use Greene Construction Inc, again, YES, would i recommend to friends or others, YES.
You will not be disappointed with this company.
yours

"I know a lot of people hate them, but they've always been, pretty much with anything that has gone wrong, they've been really responsive. We used another one previous to them, I can't remember their name, I wish I could because I really would want give them an "F". American Home Shield has been good. The last time we had something done, it was just over what our deductible was, which, I want to say, is like $100. They pretty much covered everything else, which was a few hundred dollars."

"We had water damage due to a plumbing leak. The company removed the old drywall in the bathroom, bedroom and lower floor ceiling. They installed new insulation, new drywall, coat it in joint compound and sanded everything in four days. They kept me current on what is going on with the project, They kept the dust to a minimum by containing the entire area. They really are drywall ninja's."
