We bought our house, built in 1886, four years ago. It is a charming house but, oh, was it cold in the winter! We spent enormous sums on fuel just to shiver in blankets and woolly boots every evening. We also had the most enormous icicles (some six feet long) hanging from our eaves. Evergreen Home Performance was recommended to us and we called for an energy audit. Richard came and did the audit. He explained everything clearly and showed me the problem areas. Later he came to advise us of the options and costs. We opted to have all the work done. We had the attic insulated with cellulose, everything sealed with caulk and and a new attic door installed. In addition, we had the sunroom floor dense-packed with cellulose. Bright and sunny, the sunroom is my favorite room, but before it was insulated, I had to shut it off during the coldest days though there is a nice, hot Jotul stove in the room. Now, I can use the room everyday. Further, we had the basement sprayed with polyurethane foam and a new exterior door installed. No more freezing kitchen floor! We can walk around the house all winter without coats and scarves! And no more deathcicles! Our fuel bill has been reduced by at least two thirds. The team who did the work were efficient and friendly. It is not easy to have work done on a house you are living in but they made the process as painless as possible, cleaning up after themselves every afternoon before they left. I heartily recommend Evergreen Home Performance. We have been thrilled by our results!

During the summerfall of 2015 we had two firms do home energy audits of our house, Evergreen and another Portland based company. The findings of the two reports were similar, though recommendations differed slightly. The Evergreen home energy audit was thorough, and the report clear and concise. Justin explained the pros and cons of each of the recommendations. We chose to have Evergreen do air sealing and insulation work in our three attics and follow-up on the other recommendations in a year. While reducing our use of fossil fuels was a significant motivator, we were most concerned about improving the comfort level in the house, reducing winter drafts and cold spots and second floor heat in the summer. The air sealing and insulation work was completed in a professional and timely manner. Each day at the end of work the crew left the house in a neat and clean condition. They completed the job on time and with no unfinished loose ends. Evergreen processed the Efficiency Maine rebate paperwork immediately upon completion of the job. While this past season was milder than usual, we did notice a significant improvement in our heating costs and efficiency. The first things we noticed was the reduction in drafts, and the lack of the constant sound of the furnace cycling on and off. Rooms come up to temperature faster and do not demand additional heat for longer periods of time. We look forward to seeing the house staying cooler in the summer as the attic insulation reduces the heating of the second floor.

When we decided to get an energy audit completed on our house a few years ago, Evergreen Home Performance was the most recommended firm to contact. Cree was incredibly competent, thorough, and thoughtful providing us with a detailed overview on our house and suggested projects that would enhance our warmth as well better "secure" our house from the Maine elements. The crews that have completed two projects during the past three years have been the absolute best! Aside from their strong skills and careful work, they have been respectful of our house, engaging and informative, and have left our home as clean as when they arrived. We have recommended Evergreen to many friends and will definitely contact them for any related work that we may have done on our house in the future. It is a pleasure to work with people who care so much for preserving our resources and creating more comfortable homes for us to enjoy.

Evergreen was a pleasure to work with. From our first inquiry to the post-installation inspection, they provided courteous, professional and exceptionally helpful service. The results have been truly impressive. They have done an excellent job installing floor, wall and roof insulation, making a tight and secure envelope. What was formerly a summer cottage remained cozy, warm and draft-free throughout the winter, and our heating costs ended up being far less than we anticipated. This was simply a great job, and I would definitely use Evergreen again.

The folks at Evergreen did a great job fixing a rather major insulation problem in my house, which they helped identify with a great audit. When the work began, they were thorough, upbeat, and -- dare I say it -- efficient. I strongly recommend them.

Very easy process, start to finish. Friendly, professional, and really know their stuff. They made some improvements to our condo and we were very happy with how it played out. Would definitely recommend them.

Evergreen installed 2" Thermax ridged insulation at the interior of our basement foundation walls. The thermal improvement was astounding. I highly recommend them.
