I received a phone call within hours of placing a request for a quote on Angie's List. John the owner spent at least 45 minutes to 1 hour on the phone analyzing my situation and recommending solutions for my stop cold draft problems on the first floor of my house. The conversation was very helpful. Unfortunately, the contractor is in a neighboring state and suggested looking for a closer contractor to my home. Having said that, he was willing to do the job but would have to charge for the traveling time (two (2) plus hours at least) to get to my home. He usually charges for the consultations but extended the consultation without charge. I only wish I could find a contractor as knowledgeable as Doctor Energy Smart closer to my home. I highly recommend this business.
Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"I thank you very much for taking the time to write this long review. I have helped people as far is El Paso Texas that found my website about injection foam insulation. I enjoy sharing extensive knowledge I have about how homes are constructed and badly insulated. I wish you luck in finding a local sprayer but do offer you to travel. I have actually worked in Montauk injecting foam in to the walls of the largest summer home I have ever seen. My client could not find someone out there that could do this. Happy to help, thanks again [Member Name Removed]"

John reached out immediately once a request for quote was submitted. He spent nearly a half hour on the phone - understanding the issue, asking detailed questions about the heating, location of thermostat, location of unit in building, the construction of the exterior facing wall. He ultimately recommended that for a proper audit, it would be better to wait till the weather starts getting colder. He also gave a rough estimate on what it would cost to inject insulation into the wall facing the exterior. John was a wealth of information. I appreciate his time and honesty.

Came while I was in the middle of getting siding done when I found out the siding company would not insulate soffits and I have pipes running in soffit between first and second floor. John came promptly and worked around siding company.
Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"Yes [Member Name Removed] the quick response to match your last minute needs was no problem! It was interesting to see water feed pipes installed in the soffit area and being that your house is lakefront, the cold winds would certainly become an issue in winter - Thanks for taking the time to review us, we appreciate it !"

CUSTOMER SASTIFACTION!!!! that is #1 on this companys mind no matter what. I am 27 years old and own my home and not once ever felt taken advantage of or pressured into doing anything. I own a very old home built in 1937. I called John because I have a closet that was extremely cold even had ice on the INSIDE of my closet during a cold winter. I called in the afternoon on a Sunday we talked on the phone for at least a 45 min discussing my problem and explaining every option. I told him I didn't know what I wanted to do but asked him if he could come by and look at my closet. He said sure no problem by 4 pm he was there. Now I am about an hour away.....which nether of us realized at the time but as he said he came. He assessed my problem with a thermal heat gun and told me what he thought and what he could do for reasonable price. He sprayed foam in every external wall of the closet as well as spraying a gap outside of the house on the walls too. It worked pretty well. He called me the very next day to ask how things were and I told him the areas on which he sprayed seemed good and much warmer. The floor of my closet was still slightly cold which I had told him and he said yea he was afraid of that. (Which I decided against when he origanlly told me). But guess what he immeaditly told me he would come back the following weekend and spray the floor as well at no additional charge!!!....i guess I should have listened to him to begin with......i am so thankful I found an honest company that goes above and beyond. thanks so much john
Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"Thank You [Member Name Removed] that rendition is accurate but most importantly, a nice compliment as to how I roll! Spray foam is the highest R-Value of any modern insulation, and our injection technique saves you from "tearing down those walls"! Retrofitting older homes with this process is our specialty. We are ALL about innovation, not imitation, about renovation in the insulation business. We stand alone! You found us on Angie's List and we are glad you did. Thanks again John"

. We did not expect to have to dispose of the torn down insulation about 10 large garbage bags full. But the big problem was that spray insulation is supposed to form an airtight seal in your attic. Spray foam has a poor R rating but the fact that your attic is airtight is how it keeps the heat/cold out. Because of this our attic fan was removed and sprayed over which was fine. Then about a month later we complained that the attic still seemed hot and that was not what we expected. James Turner came over with heat sensing equipment and stated that the area over the gable vents could not be reached and therefore we were not airtight. He then stated that this did not matter a lot. I feel that we did not get what we paid for and want a refund of 20%. I want to hire someone else to finish the job since Jim has said he would come back since August 2017 and enough is enough. Now he tells me he has 28 customers before me and he will get to me when he can and he wants to charge extra for this service. I have had enough patience and am finished waiting. I am disappointed that we got this business from Angie's list
Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"I guess you forgot to speak to your husband who actually arranged with us to trade the extra work we did in your garage for you to dispose the very lightweight garbage bags which you said you could put out by the street."

John and the team came on time. They were professional and courteous throughout the 6 hours of work. John communicated clearly and sought my input whenever there was any doubt. The result is extremely positive: we are able to lower our thermostat temperature and still be comfortable. It’s also much quieter inside. Finally the team cleaned up really well after their work.

excellent!!!! we have recognized a much warmer home this winter, but we originally had this done last summer because our air conditioning system was in our very hot attic. This means we have gotten a great year round benefit. We thank the Dr. and his team for chosing this service for us. They even offered us a follow up thermal imaging, which showed our window and door seals needed replacement. We have happily recommended them to our family and friends.
Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"Thank you for taking the time to write a great review about our prioritization of client Budgeting and actual needs. We put a nice warm hat on your home for the winter season and a bone chilling cooling protection for the hot summer months that will make your air-conditioning HVAC system work much better. It's a great place to start in any home and we are glad you liked our choice of an installation . We appreciate the referral you gave us as we always do appreciate former clients recommending us. You and your neighbor have the best insulated homes in the neighborhood. It's because of people like you that our family business has exploded this winter."

This company appears to sell just one product and that is spray foam of the attic overhead surfaces, and that was the sole basis of their energy audit recommendation. I expected more of a holistic assessment of improvements we could make to improve our home's efficiency. The company representative tried to convince me that fiberglass insulation has no value in keeping the heat in, which makes no sense as it is a standard in home construction materials. There seemed to be a obvious opportunity to insulate the HVAC duct work, but that was not part of the recommendation. Again, they were only recommending what they sell which appears to be just spray foam insulation of the attic overhead surfaces. The estimate of $5500 was hand written on the back of a business card on the spot-- there was no detailed documented estimate of how that figure was calculated. The thermal scan cost just under $300. I learned later there are other energy audit vendors that do this for free. I chose not to purse their services beyond the initial thermal scan and energy audit.

I called Doctor Energy Smart to inquire about having insulation blown into the crawl space of my Brooklyn townhouse. I spoke to John, who told me that, given the nature of the job and the distance, it would be better to go with someone with slightly different equipment, etc. But no matter: John proceeded to stay on the phone with me for half an hour, giving me advice on the best products, what to look out for, claims to be suspicious of, and more—and none of it at my prompting. My knowledge of insulation tripled during that call and I couldn't be more grateful to John for being so generous with someone who hadn't even hired him. There should be more people like this in the world.

We unexpectedly need to replace our roof after recently purchasing our home. Several rooms on our ranch style house have vaulted ceilings with no attic access. We called John to inquire about any potential insulation issues that might arise as well as overall energy efficiency. John spent almost an hour on the phone providing an extensive free consultation sharing his expertise. He steered us toward easy to implement, less expensive solutions that didn't necessarily require hiring him. He went the extra mile giving advice on the roof replacement to ensure it was done correctly. Being new first time homeowners, expert (and free) advice is always appreciated! For any future insulation upgrades and repairs, John will be the first person I call to get an honest, cost-effective solution.

I can not say enough good things about my phone conversation with John. To say he was thorough would be an understatement. Luckily there are still photos of my house up on Zillow, and John was able to go on his computer and look at the pictures while on the phone with me, and was able to give me a detailed assessment of the approach he would take to remedy the various issues I am having. He demonstrated an in depth knowledge of insulation and ventilation procedures and discussed the options to improve the efficiency of the heating and cooling of my house with honesty and candor. I was very pleased with the discussion we had as he essentially provided me with an in depth assessment free of charge. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs to update the insulation of their house.

I needed two outer walls and the ceiling of my garage insulated, along with a portion of the front wall of the house that had an area exposing the bathroom floor to extreme outside temperatures. John did a great job explaining the best, most cost effective solution for my garage. The job was executed on time, within the quoted budget, and with great professionalism. He and his team were very friendly and courteous. When we discovered one blemish in the ceiling that resulted from the installation, he can back immediately from an hour away (on a Saturday!) and repaired it. This is the kind of service you can expect from him and his team. It is too early in the season to know the ultimate effect of the insulation in extreme weather, but the room is already demonstrating the ability to hold heat that it could not do before. I will be recommending him to anyone needing insulation work, and I will absolutely request his services for future projects.
Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"Hey [Member Name Removed]- It was an unusual but successful install at your home. The roof overhang was feeding cold to your bathroom just above the front door and we were able to access that area through a very small opening in the attic area adjacent and above the garage ceiling. No other insulation company could or would take that task on, successfully. We surely loaded up the foam where it was needed. It was great meeting with you, funny we both own the same exact motorcycle from exactly 18 years ago. You will love the result of installing our radiant barrier insulation in the shed that houses your 2 wheeled gem! Thanks for taking the time to review me and my unique "nothing is impossible" service. We really enjoy the tough jobs that other companies deny! John"

"Thank you [Member Name Removed]- Kitchens have many cold sources because of pipe and electrical openings. We showed you how cabinets are not a problem to access behind them in the wall and underneath them.

I wont soon forget your "compound" property that appears to be the lifetime culmination of a pretty capable homeowner in building in ALL needs one could want in the future days.

Glad we could steer you at those few little endings, and injection foam was a great start! Happy Holidays Season to you all when it arrives! JOHN"

One of the reasons why we decided not to use him was because I felt like he was putting everybody up, his business is down, and everything is up so much. I have met with someone who was super, super nice and didn't put anyone else down and just did his job. If we went with someone in the future, it would have been the second guy. Doctor Energy Smart charged me for the quote. It wasn't free. I think it was like a deal that he had on Angie's List for $300 to come in and do the assessment whereas someone else came in and did it completely free. He was on time. He was kind of professional but because of his personality, it turned me off a little bit.

Response from Doctor Energy Smart® Insulation Solutions

"Hi [Member Name Removed] , yes that was right up there with the top two or three crawlspaces I have been in that most other companies would just deny servicing. I have become the contractor to call after all the others turn people down. We use smart techniques that allow us to enter these spaces to help our company and our clients proceed with insulation needs. Your difficulty level earned you a top three positioning in our eight years of business. You can think Angie's list reviews for finding us and accomplishing your very important sill beam insulation of spray foam. Enjoy"

John did a great job sealing up a very leaky sill beam in some tough to get to areas. He originally quoted the job back in February, but I wasn't able to get the work done until September. John was very patient and understanding and as soon as I was able to get the job done he was here two days later ready to go. John's evaluation of what needed to be done was focused on getting the most bang for my buck unlike others who tried to upsell me everything that they could to make the house more energy efficient with no regard to diminishing returns on my dollar. When he came out for work day he was well prepared, explained everything that he was doing and provided a very professional result. He and his assistant were very careful and cleaned up well. I would strongly recommend John to my friends and neighbors and would absolutely use Doctor Energy Smart again.
