"My attic was poorly ventilated — damp, musty, and overdue for attention. After deciding to bring in a professional, Randy came out to my home, thoroughly assessed the problem areas, and put together a detailed quote on the spot. The scope of work included removal of the existing insulation, air sealing around all attic entry points, sanitizing, air baffle installation, and installation of new Weather Blanket cellulose insulation. The new cellulose achieves an R-value that meets or exceeds Illinois code requirements. I couldn't be happier with the results. I've already noticed a meaningful improvement in temperature consistency and overall comfort throughout my home. If you're looking for a trustworthy, professional insulation contractor, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paragon Insulation & Services."

"Insulation Specialists were excellent. Arrived on time, worked cleanly and efficiently. Protected the other surfaces in the room nicely. Very happy with the results."

"The gentleman who came and did the energy audit was really outstanding. I have only lived here for a year and half and I have a gas fire place has leaked cold air like there is an open window and my builder has just been refusing to fix. Finally after a second winter of no fireplace I decided to have to repaired. I wanted to have an energy audit done before and then I would decide maybe to sue the builder. When Angelo came from Intec and I told him the story, he said that before the audit, he would tell me what I already knew, that my fireplace was leaking air like an open window, so he suggested that he would come and do the audit after the fireplace was repaired to make sure everything was right. He came, he told me this and he rescheduled to come back a week later. He did a very nice job. My only concern is he told me that he would send me the report, I thought that he told me that I would have the report by the following Thursday, and I have been busy and haven't followed, but I don't expect there to be an issue when I call. There are a couple of things he had suggested that I would have to have insulated better, and I would like to have those fixed. He came when it was originally scheduled and he came a week later, and I had offered additional payment for that, but he said absolutely not. While he was here, he really took time to explain to me in much greater detail than the previous guy. When he talked to me about the couple of areas where there was leakage, I asked if it was possible to have it fixed without going into the roof, so he went into the roof. He was very professional, personable, and thorough. I feel like when I get that report, and the 3 three things that he had told me, if it is something that the company can repair, I am pretty confident that I will use them."

"They did a nice job overall. They had to remove siding outside and blow in the insulation. They also did have to insulate one wall on the inside of the house as it was bricked outside. They drilled holes in the walls to blow in the insulation. They then filled the holes and have them ready for me to prime and paint. They moved the furniture when needed.

The windows did need caulking. The first window they used white caulk instead of clear. They did kinda a messy job , but then completed the job with clear caulk. It was completed nicely."

"He believes that frost during the winter was cause of the issue, and recommends that I simply insulate more where the moisture appeared (since there seems to be a lot of cold air coming in where we opened up the ceiling).  He believes that the roof is in good shape, and there's no cause for doing any expensive roof repairs at this time. 
I appreciate the simple recommendation to start rather than suggesting expensive repairs.  I will definitely contact him if there does seem to be an actual roof leak.

"Excellent service and support. I purchased 5 sky tunnels to install them
myself while the roof was being done. I had problems with installation
of 1 sky tunnel and Solar Brite was very helpful and recommended
different option. In the end they came and finished the final
installation.
Highly recommended.

"We contacted Tarantino after looking at Angie's list and customer reviews. Surprisingly they were actually putting a new roof on in our neighborhood and could come out and assess the situation.Neil stopped by and was pleasant and professional. He noticed a few shingles were loose, noted that staples were used in the installation of the roof and a few were rusted, indicating possible water damage. He caulked the area, check the valley's and also caulked near the chimney. On his way down the ladder he noticed an area near the front of the house (different area from where the leak was occurring) that was spongy and could cause serious damage if not repaired. We agreed that he would come back and fix this particular area in the next few weeks. In the meantime if the original area leaked agin we were to call. A few days later a nice rain came along and unfortunately the drip took about 40 minutes before intensifying. The next morning I call Neil, he came out same day. Without know where the membrane was damaged he could not say with certainty where the water was getting in when it rained. UGH, my husband and I decided to get a few quotes on replacing the roof, although we could have patched the roof and waited for about 3 years before replacing the whole roof. After receiving the quotes and analyzing them we decided to go with Tarantino, not only was the quote within range, but we felt comfortable with Neil and his prompt and professionalism. My husband and Neil met and he was able to star the job that Friday...3 days after signing the contract! That Friday Neil and his crew were here before 7, set up, and got to work. They were systematic in the removal, and it wasn't long before they were repairing areas of concern and then started putting the roof on that day. Not only did they start the roof, but finished it that day, with a few details to be completed the following morning. At Least 4500 square feet. They cleaned up, ran a magnet on wheels over the cobbles several times to collect any stray staples and nails. The next morning they returned, finished the details, cleaned up, removed the dumpster. Neil came back and inspected they're work and decided to add more flashing in a few areas for extra protection. While on the roof he decided to caulk around the stone on our chimney (we didn't even discuss this) he felt it would be added protection because water could run behind the stone and under the flashing. He filled the gaps with caulk, had his guys come back and do another sweep with the magnet. We were so impressed with Neil's attention to detail and work ethic. We would recommend using Neil and Tarantino roofing to our friends and family!"

"Contacted a few different companies and had two come out to inspect a large crack in the foundation. First company came out and indicated that the foundation had failed and needed piers put in to stablize the foundation. Crawlspace Solutions came in and indicated that they felt there was nothing failing with the foundation and that they could inject the cracks and warranty the work regardless of if there was a larger issue that required piers. Scott was the person that estimated and completed the work. He was extremely responsive and did a very good job of injecting the cracks. When Scott came to quote the work he also offered a price to apply spray foam to the walls and the sill to replace the fiberglass insulation that the previous owner of the house had on the crawlspace walls. Price included in review was to inject 2 cracks and apply the spray foam. Really glad we had the foam insulation put in. Way cleaner, durable and sealed up some areas that the other insulation could not take care of. Scott also spent extra time explaining some other areas to keep an eye out on to help ensure the foundation area is well managed from any further potential issues like down spout discharge locations, hose connections and just general drainage of the property. One of the concerns we had was if we spend all this money on the injection and the foundation ends up needing to have piers put in, how would that impact the warranty. Scott assured us that if any additional settling occurs and the repair fails, they would come back and repair the injected cracks after the foundation was stable."

"Master Cat came out the day the water heater leaked and gave me an assessment of the damage and what had to be done to correct the damage.  While inspecting the damage, the owner noticed that I had some mold developing in the closet.  The team arrived later that day (or maybe the next morning - I am not sure)  with heavy duty blowers, pulled up the wet carpet, removed the damaged wood trim from the bedroom, closet, and furnace closet and installed three (two or three) heavy duty fans to dry up the carpet, floors, and walls.  They sprayed the mold with some liquid and made sure that the area was exposed so that it could dry.  They left the fans for a day and a half until all the moisture was gone and then replaced the carpeting and wood trim and removed the fans. 
I was thrilled with their performance.  They responded rapidly to my call for help and came out as soon as they could.  They were courteous and professional and certainly knew what they were doing.  I would hire them again in a minute but hope that I won't have to use them in the near future.  They do a great job!
