The company was easy to work with, responding to inquiries quickly and professionally, the crew was punctual and courteous, and much of the work was done well. However, two aspects of the job were sub-standard (as I know from talking to a friend who is a consultant on this type of work) - one they fixed, one they said I was mistaken. First, they did not seal the joint between the top of the foundation wall and the sill plate of the house framing; when I complained, they returned and immediately did the work. Second, instead of installing rigid foam-board (the same stuff they used to insulate the foundation walls) around the edge of the floor framing (the band joists etc), they simply stuffed fiberglass insulation batts into these areas. Although this does a decent job of thermal insulation, it does little to prevent moisture infiltration through these areas. When I brought this to their attention, I was told that it was unreasonable to expect rigid foam to be installed in these areas.
As far as results, the summer-time crawlspace humidity is much lower that it used to be, and I'm very pleased about that. I've also noticed a pretty substantial decrease in my winter-time heating costs. The improvement in cooling costs is less noticeable. I'd expected the opposite. Perhaps the biggest benefit is intangible - the dramatically lowered crawlspace humidity should be very good for the and quot;healthand quot; of the house construction. Another nice thing is that the crawlspace is a far better environment: the use of white plastic means that it feels very clean and bright down there, which makes it a far more pleasant place to go to do household maintenance chores and upgrades, and the removal of the floor insulation batts means that problems are far easier to detect (shortly after the work I saw that the connection to my refrigerator ice-maker was leaking, which I probably would have noticed much later if the batts were still in place, probably resulting is some sub-floor damage). I highly recommend doing this work to your house, but I believe that it could have been done better than LiveGreen did.
The project implementation was excellent. The friendly crew arrived on time and completed the project in 2 days. Roland and Morgan stopped in to ensure the job progressed as planned . They all took great care to minimize the impact to landscape plants, putting put down plastic sheets for the debris and removing all waste each day. We are very happy with the finished product. The crawlspace is as neat and clean as the photos on the website. We have hardwood floors and tile throughout the ground floor an they are considerably more comfortable now that the crawlspace is sealed. It is really a pleasure to deal with such a professional company.
