Get matched with top insulation install or upgrade pros in South Orange, NJ

"Acorn Home Improvements,Inc. did work on my elderly mother's home. The house needed new windows. The old ones were drafty and were hard to open. In addition to replacing the windows, we decided to have additional insulation installed in the attic. Both crews, one for the windows and the other for the insulation, were professional, polite, on time and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. It was a pleasure to deal with a company that was accommodating and completed the work as agreed upon. Mom and I found their pricing was very reasonable. Since I live out of state, I was not able to be there for the entire process so it's comforting to know that there are companies that are honest and reliable. When the project was completed mom was thrilled with her new windows and how easy they were to open and close. Further more with the proper insulation, mom found that her utility bills have decreased which is an added bonus for someone on a fixed income. Mom and I highly recommend Acorn and would definitely use them again."

"We recently built out new home and used Home Insulation Experts Inc for our insulation. We wanted to make sure we had a good exterior wall insulation package but also wanted good soundproofing to isolate the grandkids from the home office. Allen at Home Insulation Experts Inc helped design the right package for our needs and we came in on budget and on time. Great experience and would highly recommend them to anyone building or renovating for insulation installation services."

"We had been living in our house for 5 years and although the kitchen was a new addition, every winter my wife & I had noticed how noticeably the temperature differentiated especially after the winter of 2014/15.  And because it was a dirt floor with some wood and old construction debris strewn about.  I was not so keen on staying down there.  In doing my own investigation there was some piping and insulation under floor.
So when investigating estimates we called a number of "green" companies.  Out of the three companies that came, only Frank Petrullo with Eco Green Solutions, noticed the mold and a water leak coming from fridge line.  He took the time to show me where the water was coming, how mold had proliferated on the wood floor joists and beams.  The dirt floor was somewhat moist and light was visible from outside along foundation rim contributing to the mold and moisture in crawl space.  He explained each of our options and detailed the steps in sections of each estimate.
We opted to have a plumber fix the water leak, then franks crew came in, cleaned up the mold, then layed down the crawl space membrane, finally insulating floor & rim joist.  All in under two days.  The crew showed up on time, left the open sections of the house clean, and we immediately noticed a difference in kitchen and rest of house.  Walking around bare foot in kitchen is more comfortable, the kitchen is less noisy, and house humidity is maintained.

The furnace crew took  2 full days and the insulation crew took 3 full days.

These are 2 emails I sent to the company:

1/.  Just wanted to convey to you that my wife and I were deeply impressed by the 2 crews that were assigned to our upgrades. The furnace crew; Brian, Todd, and Tony had the additional task of disassembling a old heater into pieces small enough to get it out through an interior stairwell. They did an excellent job and left the job site spotless. The insulation crew; Todd, Doug, and Jeremy were presented with many challenges in attempting to meet the contract specifications and always came up with innovative ideas to overcome 19th century construction techniques. These craftsmen also did an excellent job and left the job site spotless. My wife commented that they always seemed to be working and never took a break. It was a pleasure having them all work on our house.

2/.  In the last two days I had 4 inspectors for the permits come out and we passed all the final inspections.  The Fire, Plumbing, and Electrical Inspectors for the furnace all were impressed with the installation. They particularly liked the manner in which Brian hung and braced the intake and exhaust pipes. They all said the install was neat, clean, tight, well laid out.  The Building Inspector was impressed with neat and tidy job done by the Todd and the insulation crew.  Please thank them for an excellent job.

"Outstanding. Gene and Ryan were fantastic. Always in contact, helped to suggest optimal layout for the basement and the job moved efficiently from start to finish. There was a ton of contact and communication to make sure there were no surprise and they brought up potential issues well in advance so we could adjust or plan around them. These guys are top notch and I’d recommend them for any job you have."

"I had utilize this company twice in the past 10 years. My first encountered I felt was negative but I always felt the company is reliable. The second time I actually recommended it to my mother and she had an amazing experience with the company. They did insulate her entire brown stone (blowing insulation) they went out of they wait to perform a great job. They didn't have any misunderstanding and the hole in the walls were very small, you couldn't even see it. The price was very fair. The entire team came on time to perform the job and is the best investment my mother could ever had."

"Joe did a great job on this, our dining room was a add on to connect the original home and the garage and had no insulation and boy in the winter it was unusable as well as the kitchen basically (the best part of the house). Joe came and drilled small holes in the attic floor that they sealed up later to allow for blowing in the insulation. And they cleaned up well. we have a 20 month old but there was nothing left over for the baby to put in her mouth. Joe is great! Our dining room is toasty and the kids can play in there year-round Plus they are were less than half of the expensive "efficiency" guys PSEG sent over. Those providers wanted to charge $10,000+ for basically the same job."

"They were fabulous. We could not have been happier with the work. They were so efficient and did such a great job. They cleaned up after themselves. They did an awesome job. I would recommend them to anyone!

We got 3 estimates to insulate approx 2500 sq ft of attic and install insulation in foundation crawl space. Howard from Metro gave us estimate of $4500 for 15" of cellulose insulation for the attic..that was twice the amount of insulation from the lowest estimate ( 7" + crawlspace $3000), but didn't include crawlspace. Highest estimate was approx $6,000 for 12"+ crawlspace. Howard from Metro said we would be better off with more insulation in attic and over garage then with less and insulation in crawlspace. He brought in at no cost to us, someone to do infrared scan of house for energy leakage. How was found to be tight but he recommended to better seal front door (I did myself). We went with Howard, crew showed up on time, did what they had to, very polite, clean. Oh...almost forgot...he also installed two ducts from bathroom exhaust fans that were vented into attic (no charge)...I was having that section of roof redone in spring and roofers attached vents in roof to ducts (went very smooth).  I would highly recommend Metro."

"The Paragon team were very professional and responsive from start to finish. We had a very specific week/timeline this deck needed to be completed by and Paragon actually finished the project a couple days early. We also had a few customized requests from an emergency door (required by our Condo Association) to specifically cut privacy deck railings all which were completed to our satisfaction. The team had to bring all the wood and materials through a tight hallway in our apartment which was just painted. We also recently had new hardwood floors replaced and the Paragon team were extremely careful and did not make one mark on our new floors or walls. The deck came out great and exactly how we discussed/planned and we couldn't be happier with the result."
