About us

Streamline Dwellings LLC is a small, Portland-based, residential energy efficiency company specializing in practical weatherization solutions. Streamline evaluates the home as a system in order to prioritize the weatherization solutions best suited to your home and comfort. Streamline works to increase comfort and indoor air quality while decreasing month after month utility costs after your home is tuned. Streamline was formed by Mike Lillesand in May 2009. Mike does much of the hands-on weatherization work, in addition to committed field technicians that are passionate about what they do. Streamline is a small business which focuses on quality of work through attention to detail. From the initial homeowner meeting to the finished product, the communication lines will be open throughout the process. If work does need to be subcontracted (ex furnace or water heater), we have compiled a cadre of trusted subcontractors that are efficient, timely and install with quality. Streamline offers affordable rates and assists in navigating applicable local/state/Federal incentives. Streamline is also a participating Clean Energy Works of Oregon (CEWO) contractor. We look forward to the possibility of working with you!

Our experience with Streamline was top notch. The best contractor experience we have had and we have had many. The communication was excellent and we would highly recommend streamline for any home energy work
Description of Work: Did home energy audit with streamline (Mike) . Mike helped us determine how best to make home improvements within CEWO and outside CEWO program to maximize savings. For the non-CEWO work Mike's team and subs did great job. Mike was in constant communication with us. Timeliness and Professionalism was great. He filled out all energy trust rebate forms for us, so all we had to do was sign.For the CEWO work, again more great work. We had a mishap where his team tripped the circuit with fridge. Mike detected problem and helped clean fridge and gave us some money to restock.

Always arrived on time every day. Kept us abreast of work on a daily basis. Did additional work on the house without charge. Worked in a professional manner. I asked for pictures of the work being done in the crawl space and I got them when the work was complete. The results were immediate, warmer in a very cold room after floor insulation, when we changed the filter in the furnace it was almost clean. Worked neat and cleaned up everyday before leaving. Very happy with the work that Mike did. The improvement in the insulation made the house warmer earlier in the year and is now staying cooler during the warm days. Would definitely recommend Streamline Dwellings.

It went very well. The guy was very professional. He was in my cellar where I have tons of stuff stored and he just very carefully moved things out of the way and put them back. He went through the whole cellar. I would recommend this service. It made a huge difference. He is very efficient, and neat.
Description of Work: They sealed air spaces between the steel plate between the construction and the foundation. In between each place they put in blocks of foam to keep the outside air from moving in. They made removable foam blocks for my fireplace opening so I can put the foam block in when I'm not using my fireplace to keep the air coming down the chimney.

Mike did all of these over several visits, as I was getting insulation done at the same time and some coordination was necessary. Mike was easy to communicate with and made adjustments where I felt they were necessary. Overall I was very happy with the service and product he provided.
Description of Work: Mike did a walkthrough for free and recommended services from there -- some of those I did myself, and some I paid him to do. He replaced weatherstripping, adding 2" foam board insulation in various places, sealed cracks and gaps with foam, sealed my attic hatch, and did some other things that I can't remember right now. I installed pulley seals on his recommendation, and did some other little things.

The whole job progressed very smoothly. Mike showed up when he said he would and worked hard the entire time. The work actually cost less than his original estimate because some of the jobs were not as complicated as they appeared initially. Mike could have easily said nothing and I would not have known the difference. He kept me posted throughout the process. He is pleasant and easy to work with. He is thorough and does not use pressure tactics. I am pleased with the work. We have had some cold snaps and I can tell a difference just sitting in certain rooms of my house. The blower door test picked up some places in the house where energy was being lost that I would have never thought of. He concluded the job with another blower test and the house came up as much better sealed and thus qualified for the rebate. Mike will make sure to get your house to the level where you will qualify for any rebates. When the job was finished, Mike filled out all the paperwork for the Energy Trust so all I had to do was sign, send it off, and get my rebate. I would easily recommend Mike to a friend.
Description of Work: I had had a walk-through energy audit performed by another company and they recommended Streamline Dwellings as company to do the work they were not equipped to do. I was interested in taking advantage of rebates offered by the Energy Trust of Oregon. Mike Lillisand did the assessment of my 1920's house to determine where there were air leakages. He was quite knowledgeable and explained every aspect of the process in a way that a layperson could understand. I was curious about his background since I have a background in sustainable business. I found out that Mike is a certified Sustainable Building Advisor and a Building Performance Institute Professional. He told me these certifications were obtained after he finished college. Mike was also very knowledgeable about the rebates offered so that I could maximize my benefits while making my house more energy efficient. Services he performed included: blower door testing, air sealing, duct sealing, and installing new support for some insulation in my crawl space. Each of these categories is comprised of several different jobs that probably vary depending on the particular house. One thing I really appreciated was that Mike was open to my doing some of the work myself to save money. I ended up not doing it (not as handy as I thought I was:), but I really appreciate someone who is sensitive to your budget and does not try to get you to buy work that is not necessary. Mike struck me an honest, knowledgeable, respectful, and flexible individual.
