Get matched with top insulation install or upgrade pros in Glen Burnie, MD

"Ducts were sealed quite dramatically from the graph they provided. I am not seeing much savings on heating as I expected."

"We had a great experience with ROI Construction sales representative David Burke. David was very knowledgeable about ROI's porducts and services. We look forward to getting our attic insulation project completed and will provide a more thorough review at that time. Thanks, Tim"

"AHC teams are, simply put, just incredible! From the beginning, when their electric side helped plan everything out, to their incredible roofing team, to the electric install - all very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Every question I asked was thoughtfully answered, and every concern given deliberate attention. Thank you, very much!"

"Debbie, the AC&R salesperson, was very knowledgeable and confident. They were the 2nd quote I got for work and came in even lower than I expected (which gave me pause as a low bid is a red flag). But true to her word, they did the work professionally (mostly...see below) and promptly. While I had another company do the energy audit for the Pepco rebate, AC&R took over the work, did the blown fiberglass one day and the spray foam the next.



For the blown fiberglass in the attics above our additions, they added spray foam (from a can) around any gaps per the contract and foam board baffles at the soffits. The installer noted that all our soffits were blocked and the batting insulation was too wide for the rafter channels, so he leveled it out as best he could to ensure an even coating of blown insulation. At the end, he sealed up the gaps between the attic and our to-be-finished upstairs (cape cod style, so all one room).



For the spray foam insulation, the team came in the next day, and I had to be out of the house due to fumes. I did come back around noon as they expected to be done well before then. They didn't know I came in and I went to the back of the house to watch TV on my work break. The one annoyance was during their cleanup, one of the installers came down into our kitchen and then saw me. He said he was looking for a vacuum cleaner to clean the stairs. I told him don't worry about the carpet as it was getting pulled up, but this was the one piece of unprofessionalism I noted above. Contractors should NEVER use the homeowner's property; they should bring their own tools, including vacuums!



While the spray foam can get very messy, they kept the splatter mostly contained to inside the crawlspace, not the finished flooring. However, I was surprised that they didn't tape off the outlet covers or light switched. since the particles are so small, we're going to have to replace the switches/receptacles at our cost. Also, there was a storm door screen that wasn't covered and now needs cleaned. Basically, I think they should have taken more care in covering the very few items we left upstairs and the outlets/switches.



They didn't spray around the window frames (large gaps where window weights used to be) because the open cell foam would expand too much. If I wasn't there, I think they would have just left, but it was clear in our contract discussions they needed to insulate those spaces too. They used a few cans of "Good Stuff" equivalent, but didn't fill in the gaps entirely. It did the job well enough, but it's a ding against them as I expected more preparation.



Lastly, I thought that AC&R would walk me through all the scheduling and final "test out" (for the Pepco rebate), but I had to contact them and schedule with someone different each time. They were always prompt, but I expect the experts to know to do this for/with me rather than expect me to know the process. I go through it once in a lifetime while they do it weekly.



While the end of the review sounds more negative than positive, I would definitely recommend AC&R out to others as they're priced right, they have been in business for over a century, and like any contractor, you just need to follow up to be sure everything is done to your satisfaction.

"They pointed out areas of air loss that needed to be covered or blocked and advised  more attic insulation which service they will provide. Their price offer seems reasonable.  I'm still crunching numbers.
"

"They are extremely excellent. They rate plan is worth the monthly fee. And no additional charge other then plumbing and electrical. If they can not replace or repair it. They will come up with no charge. One time visit fee of 50 to repair sink or etc. Highly recommend them."

"Two people were at the house for over 3 hours for the evaluation and did a professional and thorough job. We received a comprehensive report and estimate for corrective action. We hired them to do the work and again they were professional and thorough. They blew attic insulation to R49, installed an exhaust fan, wrapped ventilation ducts and sealed air paths. Our home is much more energy efficient and comfortable now."

"The person arrived on time to evaluate our home for the written estimate.   He was very professional and easy to talk with.  We talked at length what I expected.   In addition, he was very knowledgeable.   The estimate was sent by e-mail with in one week.  
The work took several days.   The men arrived on time and were very curtious.   All materials were picked up and my yard was left intact every day.   I did not find any debris or nails in my yard after the job was completed. 
They asked permission to leave a generator and ladder overnight on my property.  Very respectful.
At the time of the initial estimate I said that wanted all wood trim replaced with Azac.   All trim was replaced with Azac, as I requested.
The roof and railings look great!
My neighbor has used this company for more than 15 years and he only has positive comments about their work and the integrity of the company.  I can now agree with him.
I have more exterior work to be done and I plan to use this company again.
A++++ Rating from me

"Pilot Home Services did an excellent job with the insulation job. Explained everything throughly, cleaned up, and left everything as found. Very professional and went above expectations. Will definitely use again."

"The Home Pro guy was on my roof for less than ten minutes. He told me that my roof was poorly installed and he had caulked something. Overall, the inspection did not seem very thorough. I did not receive a follow-up phone call or report afterwards.
