Get matched with top insulation install or upgrade pros in Newtown, CT

"We moved into our house in the winter and found out that the 70 year old insulation was quite deteriorated and moldy in the fall. We decided to have the old insulation removed so that we could cut down on heating bills and get rid of the smell. I contacted several companies and interacted with Joe from Good Life as the salesperson. He was kind enough to come to our house twice as the scope of the project changed. Both times, he drafted the proposal right at the end of the visit. His professionalism and the quoted price convinced us to go with Good Life Energy Savers. On day 1, the first crew came to remove the old insulation from the attic and used open cell spray foam to insulate the basement rim joists. On day 2, a second crew came to apply blown-in fiberglass insulation in the attic. Please note that the material they use is not irritant at all. Both crews worked really hard and cleaned up very well after they were done. I was especially impressed with the job 1st crew did to remove the old insulation from the slopes on a cathedral ceiling. My only minor complaint is regarding the patch in the ceiling at the end of the job. The guys used paper tape and there were bubbles all around. I guess they were very tired at the end of the day. Initially, I was planning to paint the room myself to cover the patch. But after removing the paper tape (due to bubbles) and using fiber mesh tape and joint compound, I figured I wouldn't be able to smooth the edges of the patch perfectly and hired a professional. Overall, it is a great company that provides quality job at a reasonable price. With the new insulation, the furnace runs much less frequently and I am pretty sure the job will pay for itself very in a few years."

"I have nothing but good things to say about Colin and the team. They are professional, brought in an army to stay on track with timelines, and left the place looking better than it was before they started. They re-painted and finished the job better than expected. We could hear a pin drop upstairs before they came and it's now 80% better. We can hear them occasionally walking on the hard floor but no music, or anything else. We could hear their dog running up the hall, and no longer. The one thing to be aware of is that it's a full scale renovation that results in a lot of dust. It takes time to get every surface clean again but that's the only difficulty. They even fixed exposed cable wires in the ceiling and did additional aesthetic things that was not in the contract because "it made sense while the ceiling was open". We are the 4th in our building to use them and they continue getting business from our neighbors. They come highly recommended."

"They were fast and courteous. They were able to insulate the entire house in only a few hours. They used plastic sheeting and vacuums to keep the floors and furniture clean. We were very happy and will be recommending them to our family and friends."

"Alkis, the owner, and his crew at AK Gatsios did a fantastic job installing a new roof for me. They were very professional. I would highly recommend them to install your new roof. A great job at a great price!"

"He was on time and the team was efficient -- did the usual that all energy audit providers do - replace lightbulbs, blower test, weather stripping and then try to sell you insulation or new energy efficient A/C. The problem was that the salesman gave us a template report afterwards (via email) that was totally incomplete. Even when my husband told him that it was incomplete and didn't address all our questions, we never heard from him again. I guess because we weren't interested in additional services, we weren't a valued customer. <br />"

"<p>The crew was prompt, efficient and neat, leaving virtually nothing to clean up.  They repaired the removed floorboards well.  Insulation made a huge improvement in cooling efficiency, and I expect similar heating savings this winter.</p> <br />"

"I called up on July 10 for an estimation appointment to convert from oil to gas. I was told that the first available appointment would be middle to end of Aug. 1-1.5 mos wait for an appointment is beyond my comprehension. <br />"

"The service was very nice. He was prompt and on time. He was very professional and seemed  knowledgeable on the choices of insulation. I got them through Angie's List."

"They arrived on time. They offered assistance with moving the furniture out of their work area. The workers made sure to cover the floors and all the furniture before they began their work. The work was completed in two days as predicted. They forgot to include one of the entryways ceilings In the contract. I mentioned this to the worker and after a phone call to Ari they proceeded to do the work. Although I would have liked to see Ari at some point during the insulation process, I believe the work was done well. We will wait for this coming winter to give our final verdict. <br />"

"The carpenter was excellent - he completed everything and more. He even replaced some of the shingles attacked by the woodpecker on the outside of the house. If I need a carpenter again, I would definitely have him come back! The other young man was also good -- he did a nice job with the sheet rock but the plaster was protruding a bit even after we sanded it down. He was not able to place the radiator cover over the heating system in the bathroom but to his defense, I don't believe that was in his job description or area of expertise. Overall, we were pleased and Tracy was very friendly and made me feel at ease with all of my questions."
