Get matched with top insulation install or upgrade pros in Augusta, ME

"These folks are great. I called and left a voicemail asking for someone to call back. Received a return call a couple hours later. The man came for the estimate on time and was thorough and very professional. Answered all my questions, explained the Maine state refund program. Made things very very easy to understand. They came out over the past two days and worked efficiently and actually said we had more insulation in the crawl space then they had estimates, so we saved a little money there. When they left you would not have known they had been in our home. Would use them again and recommend highly! <br />"

"There was an energy audit and it showed they missed a few spots. They came back but it took a while. The workers were ok. To make the house tighter would have gotten them an A. A year later they were some cracks. They should have a one-year follow-up."

"Glenn and his team we incredible! We were a new build and a big undertaking with 3 stories and a large deck on the third floor. They completed all of our framing and making the project fully weather tight. We appreciated Glenn and his teams advice along the way, this project would not have been a success without their recommendations. Following the completion of their work Glenn has remained in touch to provide additional guidance and support, and offered to help us with any obstacles we may face as we work to finish this project. Great experience and highly recommended!"

"Excellent. Timely. Efficient. Courteous. Clean. Cost was below bid. Happy to use again."

"Excellently.  He showed up to do the estimate at the time and date he said he would.  He followed up with status when he said he would.  He reconfirmed a few days before starting the work and completed the work within the estimated time and at the estimated price.  His crew and he did an excellent job, and a neighbor requested that Brian do his house as well.  His crew were professional and mature workers.  We plan to use him on another house within our family within the next year or so. <br />"

"They were a great company and they provided great service."

"I learned of Tight House through Angie's List. I inquired through their company website and received an immediate response to my inquiry from Mark Hunter, the owner. Mark and his employees were professional, punctual, and thorough at every step of the way. Mark worked with me to tailor the job to what I could afford, and he did all the paperwork to ensure I got the $600 credit for the Efficiency Maine incentive. <br /> While my main incentive for this work was to burn less oil, Mark told me that I would also feel much more comfortable in the house overall. He was so right! This past brutal winter was much easier to take without the drafts and general chill in the air that I've been experienced since I've owned this home. My oil provider did a comparison to the winter of 2010-2011 (since 2011-2012 was so mild), and I burned 250 fewer gallons this past winter than I did 2 years ago. I expect to see even more savings next winter since the insulation had been done in December, well into the beginning of the heating season. <br /> I'm looking forward to having Tight House insulate my walls so that I'll burn even less fossil fuel. Phase 1 alone will pay for itself in 4 years in fuel savings -- and, more importantly, there will be less of an impact to the environment. I wish I had taken this step many years ago. <br /> Mark and his company are a class act, and I highly recommend them. <br />"

"Although the project turned out to be more complicated and took longer than expected, this had little to do with <br /> the builder or his sub-contractors. Primarily the delays were due to weather, financing issues, and poor <br /> communications on the part of the town's code enforcement officer. <br /> Let me address this last issue first. Everything seemed to be alright until the pad was poured. The code <br /> enforcement officer was upset that she was not notified prior to the pouring of the cement so she could inspect <br /> the forms and re-bar. This and quot;misunderstandingand quot; occurred because the CEO never communicated to either myself or the <br /> contractor at what points during the project she wanted to perform inspections. However, from this point forward <br /> the CEO seemed to question every aspect of the project. Demonstrating considerable restraint and diplomacy, most <br /> of the time the contractor bowed to her demands (he was much , but drew the line at her trying to force him to <br /> install a water shutoff valve in a location that would likely have caused our well pump to burn out. In this <br /> case Greg Bragg stood his ground, backing it up with State of Maine statutes. <br /> With respect to the weather, June 2013 was one of the wettest on record for Maine. As far as financing, the <br /> magnitude and cost of the project exceeded what we had budgeted and we found out just how difficult it is to <br /> secure financing for rental property, especially if you are setting up a used mobile home. Consequently, we had <br /> to break the project into two phases. <br /> The demolition of the old house and initial site preparation went very smoothly as can be seen in this 8 minute <br /> YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWaJEgV2iJE). <br /> Getting the mobile home onto the pad was a bit more interesting since the ground was still very muddy from all <br /> the rain we received in June and July. Fortunately, Greg Bragg of Bragg Builders had the foresight to keep a <br /> bulldozer onsite. As can be seen in this 8 minute YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioZ1IFl-3CQ), <br /> the bulldozer was absolutely essential. <br /> The only other issue related to Bragg Builders portion of the project was a ruptured water line. Prior to <br /> constructing the gravel pad a brand new water line was installed and was even packed in sand to ensure rocks <br /> would not rupture the line. Unfortunately, a rupture occurred anyway. Fortunately, the contractor promptly <br /> installed a new water line, at no charge to us. <br />"

"Lauren McCarl responded promptly to my inquiry and made a timely appointment to do an energy survey of my home.  She performed a blower test, took infrared photos and entered the attic to locate potential problems.  She reviewed the results the same day, showed me the areas that needed work and helped me prioritize the tasks according to biggest energy return for the money.   She sent me an estimate a day or two later.  Her organization subcontracts the work and and makes sure it is done on time and correctly.  The contractor was punctual and professional, as was the crew and the quality of their work.  Lauren came by the first day of work to make sure the correct tasks were being done.  The contractor and his crew were respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves well.  <br /> Lauren returned a week later to repeat the blower test and infrared photography.  Not only was the work done correctly, but decreased the air infiltration in my 2006 home by 18%!  The difference was felt immediately.   Lauren sent me a final written report of the results of the work and before/after infrared photos.  She also obtained a release for my energy suppliers in order to monitor energy savings over time.  Finally, her organization took care of submitting the paperwork necessary to qualify for an Efficiency Maine program that took $600 off the total cost.  <br /> I would not hesitate to recommend Home Energy Evaluation Testing.  Even in a modern house their work made a world of difference and was well done. <br />"

"Corey has been instrumental in keeping this renovation moving forward.  He has done demo, built new walls, installed vinyl flooring, installed windows and doors, both replacement and new construction, landscaping, worked with the other trades to help keep their end of the job going smoothly,repaired the work of my not-so-handy husband, all with professionalism, good cheer and a good sense of humor. Since we are living in the house, he has had to work around the trappings of daily life, moving furniture, letting the pets in and out, answering all of the questions of my resident, retired mother.  His work is top qualty and he leaves the spaces he works in cleaner than he found them, in most cases.  I would heartily recommend Corey for any future projects."
