"Howard Falkow was incredibly helpful and responsive from the beginning.  He walked us through the analysis of the energy leaks in the house and outlined several options to help us save on our energy bill.  Rather than immediately pitch us on the most expensive option, he gave us an objective cost/benefit analysis as to which package would result in the best energy savings per cost.  
Howard was very responsive over email as well as on the phone and he and his staff were always friendly, professional, and very accomadating when it came to scheduling. 
Howard and NY Metro Insulation provide an excellent service for anyone who is looking to make their home more energy efficient.  They are honest, professional, and perform high quality work (we noticed results immediately after the work was performed) and I would recommend them very highly to anyone in the area.

"We hired Energy Evolution in December of 2016 to complete a "Hot Roof" installation in our Bi-Level High Ranch in NY. The work was done in a professional manner and based on a separate third-party evaluation of the work it was above and beyond what was agreed to in the contract. What makes this "special" or different is that we had deck work completed in the Summer of 2018 which ruined the insulation in our attic. We contacted "Sam" and explained what happened and within 6 weeks he showed up at no charge to repair the damage created by the Deck Project. You really don't know how good the service is until something like this happens and it is worth noting that once you are his customer, he will take care of you. I have attached an image of the "before/after" which was filled in almost 2 years after the initial work was completed. Great Job!"

"Excellent.  The most professional of those we interviewed.  Really knew what they were doing, and told us why the method they suggested would be the best for us (as well as the least expensive).  Did everything they said they would, and more as the found places uncovered during demolition, at no additional charge."

"I live in and own a 2-family home that has flat rook and that is located in the Bronx, NY. I live in the lower unit and my tenants live in the upper unit, which is right below the roof. Our current and previous tenants would often complain that the rental unit felt cold when the temperature outside fell and my wife said that even when the indoor temperature in that unit was high, the unit felt drafty, which can make the unit feel colder than it actually is as the heat escapes through the roof rapidly. A contractor who installed kitchen for us in that unit told us that our roof had absolutely no insulation- something he saw when he installed the exhaust for range hood. So last year, I decided to call this company for a quote. My hope was that insulating the roof would significantly decrease the release of heat, which would make the unit warmer and reduce airflow (i.e., drafts). When I called, a really nice receptionist answered the phone, took my information down, and answered a few questions, and told me that the owner, Joe, would call me back either the same day or the next. The reason for this is that Joe is usually out doing roof insulations himself. When Joe called back, I was quoted a price of $3.00/square foot, but decided not to go ahead at that time. He was very nice and polite and is willing to answer lots of questions. He seems really passionate about his work and will describe in pretty significant detail what he does. This year, we decided to pull the trigger so we called back and received a quote of $2.50/square foot- a savings of $500 to insulate our 1,000 square foot roof. As you can imagine, that made me happy. We spoke on Friday and set up an appointment for Wednesday (5 days later). Joe and one of his workers arrived with their truck at 7:30 am and were finished by 9:45 am. The process was so much faster than I could have imagined. And, they didn't even have to come inside the house! Joey and his worker used a 40-ft tall ladder to scale the front of the house (it's 3 stories high) and to take their equipment up to the roof. Once up there, they used an electric saw to make a hole (they might have made 2) through which to blow in the insulation. The noise from the saw lasted about 10-15 minutes, after which the work they were doing was relatively quiet. I was actually really amazed at how non-intrusive the whole thing was and how quickly the job was completed. Joey made sure to show me exactly what kind of insulation he was using and gave me written materials about the product he was using (blow-in fiberglass). If Angie's List lets me update this review, I will definitely write back once we have experienced the insulation in cold weather to describe how well it is working."

"They arrived on time. They offered assistance with moving the furniture out of their work area. The workers made sure to cover the floors and all the furniture before they began their work. The work was completed in two days as predicted. They forgot to include one of the entryways ceilings In the contract. I mentioned this to the worker and after a phone call to Ari they proceeded to do the work. Although I would have liked to see Ari at some point during the insulation process, I believe the work was done well. We will wait for this coming winter to give our final verdict.

"We live in a single family home in Poughkeepsie, NY that received water damage to the family room, kitchen area, finished basement, crawl space, and sump pump room of our room. We were referred to First Call from our realtor who had very happy clients who had hired them in the past. Through our whole water damaged experience, the best call we ever made was to First Call Restoration. First Call is a family-owned company who knows how important it is to due right by their clients and do so with honesty, respect, and professionalism. They actually care about the welfare of their customers and are diligent in giving them peace of mind during a very traumatic situation. Their entire team from Janice and the answering service team to Mike and his field team are friendly, empathetic, and honest. First Call worked directly with our insurance company to get an agreed scope of work and always made us feel like a priority. Janice explained the entire process and Mike even educated us on how mold grows and how to understand the moisture readings during his assessment of our home. They took out only the wet and damaged parts of the home and worked around saving anything we can reuse or reinstall such as drop ceiling panels that were not damaged from water in our finished basement. They kept everything neat and organized and cleaned up very well during and after the demolition process. We are very satisfied with the mitigation services that they provided to our water damaged home. Even though we are still fighting to settle with our insurance company and are dealing with that stress, we feel completely at ease to know that the work that First Call did left the damaged areas of our home clean, dried of any moisture, and mold free. When the weather kept fluctuating between cold and warm temperatures (our home still doesn't have heat and water), we noticed condensation in our house like it was sweating. It was easy to pick up the phone and call Janice and the rest of the office team and heed their advice on how to relieve the moisture. Mike even came to the house to read the moisture and humidity levels and make sure everything was all right and put our minds at ease. With full confidence and no reservations, we can encourage and recommend anyone who received damage to their home to make their first call be to First Call Restoration."
First Call Restoration has weekly training as well as daily meetings.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn’t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.

Natural fiber batts and spray foam insulation both work great for soundproofing. Newer materials, such as hemp batts, are more expensive but more effective for insulation and sound blocking. They are also more sustainable. There is also a professional system called Blow-In Blanket Insulation (BIBS) that is soundproof and moisture-resistant. However, BIBS must be installed professionally and can be a costly investment.

Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual temperature that can cause frozen pipes can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. Copper pipes freeze more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.

If you’re a savvy DIYer around the house, own the basic tools, and have enough time on your hands, you can definitely install fiberglass insulation yourself. Doing the work yourself will certainly keep overall insulation costs down. However, if you’re not confident in your handy skills around the house, call in a professional.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses.
