"Absolute WORST experience I’ve ever had with a company! They are extremely predatory and convinced my 63 year old mother that she had to sign the contract THAT DAY, and she didn’t even understand what she was signing! The first day they were scheduled to do the job, they showed up hours late, and said they “weren’t the right crew to do the job”. We then had to wait a couple weeks for a different crew to come, and when they came they said they weren’t the right crew to do the job either!! 2 weeks later, ANOTHER crew came and said THE SAME EXACT THING!!! So after 3 times of getting the runaround, I was completely FED UP with this horrible company and decided to cancel the contract. They FINALLY did let me cancel, but are demanding we still pay $600! After all they put us through over 3+ months, they had the nerve to charge us $600 for an outlet! PLEASE AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS! All they care about is dollar signs, not about the QUALITY of their work or customer service."

Let our energy management company audit your home to help reduce monthly energy consumption.

We are Angie's List Super Service Award Winners 5 years in a row.

"I had a fantastic experience with Greene Solutions! Every point of contact was professional, from office associates to the company's owner. I own an old house (100 years old) with knob-and-tube wiring. That old wiring threw a spanner in the works, i.e., the old wiring had to come out in order to install insulation. I had a devil of a time finding an electrical company to do this job. Finally I called Greene Solution's owner (I was in tears) and said I was giving up; no one would do the job. He told me he'd try to find a company while I was vacationing in VT. Well, when I got back, he'd located a company and my contacts with that company (Brett Short Circuits) were completely satisfactory. There were several phases to my project, and all went splendidly. The solar attic fan was installed and I'm very pleased. Basement ductwork was sealed (Aeroseal). My goodness! Positive results were immediate: I moved one entire category higher in efficient usage with both the gas and electric companies! The old attic insulation was removed before the electrical work started. Greene Solutions did this attic cleaning. What a dirty job! Given the age of my house, the workers had to contend with a mega-buildup of old coal dust. Yuck! The electrical company (Brett Short Circuits) then did the rewiring of my entire house. This was a huge job and I was completely satisfied with their work. The team of electricians assigned to my job was excellent, extremely hard workers. They were very conscientious about cleaning before they left each evening. They used canvas drop cloths to cover my furniture as they moved from room to room. Finally, they kept me entirely 'in the loop' re their schedules. I appreciated their courteous and respectful attitudes. Their work was approved and signed off on immediately by city inspectors. New wiring in place, the project then moved to the insulation phase of the project. Greene Solutions did this phase of the project. It took two days to get this job done. Attic, walls, and basement were insulated. This was another hugely dirty job, given the old coal dust in my house. For those of you who don't have experience with coal dust ... thank your lucky stars. It gets into everything (even wood grain) and it stays. This particular phase of the project took two days. I was very pleased with Greene Solution's team of workers. They were courteous, respectful of my space, and were heads-down workers. Another great team! Door installation awaits delivery of the doors. Of course, all had to be custom-made, given the age of my house. Greene Solutions will do this phase of the project and I anticipate no problems. I highly recommend Greene Solutions. I am very pleased with the partnership we forged as I took steps towards reducing my carbon footprint."

"Richardson Exteriors did the roof of my apartment complex in Dublin and also did the roof on all the garages in my apartment complex. During the process of them doing the roof on my garage they neglected to let the office Personnel know that they are going to do the roofs that day like they said they would let everybody know. They went ahead and did the roof with everybody's belongings in the garage and their vehicles which caused damage to my vehicle and other people's belongings and vehicles. I had nails on top of my car, shingle grit all over my car, and chunks of plywood all over my car. My car is a classic vehicle and the paint got damaged. I had my office at my apartment complex reach out to them they never contacted me or the office I tried to contact Richardson exteriors directly through email and they did not reply. 100% would never use this company ever again and I do not recommend them to anyone."

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

"These guys are awesome! These men work for pride, I am sure money too but put the pride in their work first. Very friendly! Showed up by 7am everyday, even in the rain and immediately started working. We had a couple not so common issues with our home and they went above and beyond creating fixes for those areas and they look great. Could not ask for anything to be better. Don't even waste your time calling anyone else for quotes. Also just an FYI - when it is the busy spring and summer season and a contractor tells you they can have a crew out the following week to start that should really bring up a red flag."

My name is Charlie Griffey, owner of Griffey Remodeling. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I have always had a passion for Architecture and Design. After graduating high school, I worked for two remodeling companies while paying my own way at the Ohio State University. In 1991, I was confident that with my hard work and dedication, I could start my own remodeling company and here we are 21 years later. My company focuses on residential remodeling and we service many cities surrounding Columbus, Ohio. We are a small company, but we strive to be the best in the industry with our innovative designs and an unmatched professional service from start to finish. We all love what we do and we are proud of our constant A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, our 27 Angie's List Super Service Awards and many BIA and NARI Project Awards. If you are looking for some remodeling work on your home and you are looking for an honest, competitive, knowledgeable and reputable company, I would love the opportunity to earn your business. I personally handle all of the sales and design, so when you call, please ask for me- the owner.

"Having worked with multiple remodelers and contractors on two different houses, Charlie Griffey is by far the best I've ever worked with. I have high expectations, and Charlie exceeded every one. Charlie had workers at my house every day (including some weekend days) during my project and communicated with me (unsolicited) on a daily basis. This is unheard of for a contractor. Furthermore, his subs do great work. Charlie was not satisfied until we were completely pleased. He even called later after the project was completed to make sure we were happy. He had recommendations for me that I was hesitant to pursue, but he ended up being spot on. Furthermore, we encountered a delay (in shipping--not Charlie's fault), and Charlie remedied the situation himself in order to stay on track. I cannot say enough good things about Charlie's communication, professionalism, efficiency, or attention to detail."

Since 1992, Muth & Company Roofing has installed the highest quality roofing systems for homes and businesses in Central Ohio. When it comes to product knowledge, customer service, workmanship, and warranties, no other roofing contractor can compare to us. It’s no wonder that we were the first roofer in Columbus recommended in Angie’s List, and we’ve had hundreds of rave reviews for 16 consecutive years! WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT Here’s what makes the Muth team stand out as local roofing contractors: •We’ll install your roof as if it were our roof. •We’ll treat you with respect as if you are a member of our own family. •We’ll review our innovative Pre-Work Checklist with you, so there are no surprises. •We won’t finish until you are 100% satisfied. 18 employees. We do use some subs for installation. Cost is determined by the job. Travel charges may apply. May contact through e-mail. Family owned & operated. Additional DBA - Muth & Co Roofing Inc. Award winning. Senior discount is 5% up to $300.

"We had a great experience with Muth & Company Roofing for our roof replacement project. Our sales contact was Kelly, He was excellent to work with all the way through the process. Regarding the demo, the crew took great care to protect my house and property while removing the old roof. They made sure all old materials went into the dumpster as soon they were removed from the house. I was impressed with the install crew too: Right tool for the right job by using a crane to lift the new materials onto my roof VS running them all up manually. They were very efficient and worked in pairs as they put on the new roof. Job was completed in one long day which impressed me as i thought for sure it would take more than a day to complete. The GAF Timberline UHDZ shingle with the extra shadow line is a huge improvement from my old shingle. Really makes my house pop. We love the improved curb appeal of our house with the new roof. The crew made sure to clean up before the project was completed and Brian our project manager even did touch up painting for me. Hard to tell they were even here! Overall, clearly a 5 star performance!"

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Unless your cellulose insulation is wet, moldy, or showing signs of mildew or pests, there’s no need to remove it before adding new insulation on top of it. Inspect your insulation thoroughly before adding the new insulation, and if you’re unsure how to assess the presence of mold or mildew, talk to a mold remediation specialist near you.

Spreading tin foil over your windows works similarly to radiant barrier insulation, but not as well. It will reflect some of the sunlight that would otherwise come through the glass and warm up the inside of your home, so it might help a little to keep your home cool in the summer. However, the appearance isn’t preferable to blinds or drapes that can offer the same benefits. You might also consider tinting your windows instead, which is a more aesthetically pleasing change that can still block a good portion of the solar heat coming through your windows.

R-30 insulation is better for higher thermal resistance, but whether it’s "better" depends on the application. R-30 is much thicker and suited for areas like attics or floors in cold climates, where more insulation is required. R-13, on the other hand, is thinner and works well for 2x4 walls or milder climates where less insulation is sufficient. Choosing between R-13 and R-30 depends on the area being insulated and the climate. For example, R-30 provides more insulation but may not fit everywhere in your home.

Excluding carpet, strand-woven bamboo provides excellent underfoot heat. Laminate flooring is also good for insulation and preventing cold feet in the winter. Bamboo tends to work better in climates that have more consistent temperatures, while laminate does a better job at insulating floors in homes that experience more extreme temperature changes, such as the deciduous climates of the northeastern U.S.

Also known as sound-dampening blankets, acoustic blankets reduce echo in a room. They come in different thicknesses and materials, and they can be nailed or glued to walls.
