Like me, our 127 year old home had trouble with its temperature:bone cold in winter and sticky hot in summer. So we went looking for help and feel so grateful to have found Evergreen Home Performance. These folk convey a level of professionalism in everything they do that is rarely encountered. This is apparent from the first meeting thru the final walk through. Every recommendation for improvement is outlined in writing with great detail, including costs. Every improvement we agreed to met or exceeded our expectations. During the installation phase, it came to the installers’ attention that an area being sealed around an old upstairs bathroom exhaust fan might be an issue down the road if we should remodel. If we replaced the fan, it would break the seal they were about to do. Their quick call allowed us to replace the fan before they sealed that area. We were impressed that they were looking ahead to what might be in the future for this home. We requested our project bid in two sections, the cellar and the attic. When we were unsure of covering the full cost of the project in one year, Evergreen recommended that the cellar work would have the most impact and assured us that the attic could be done at a later time. They also shared with us about low cost financing through Efficiency Maine. In the end, we chose to pay for half out of pocket and to finance the other half. Now our cellar maintains a temp of 60 degrees, even on days when it’s below zero outside. We are using far less oil, which is good for us and the environment. We stayed a lot cooler during those hot months, which saves on electricity, and our indoor air quality has improved. With help of Evergreens Home Performance, this home has made the leap into energy efficiency for our benefit and for future owners. We recommend Evergreen Home Performance without hesitation.

I would like to recommend to anyone wanting to save money on utility bills (Electric and Fuel) to contact Evergreen Home Performance and have them do an assessment of the efficiency of heating and cooling their home. This company was recommended to us by Efficiency Maine. Older houses like ours are sometimes difficult and costly to heat or cool because of porous foundations, lack of insulation, and drafty windows. Our problems were quickly discovered and we made the decision to follow the recommendations of Brian Robinson. We could not be more pleased with the results. Our electric bill has been reduced by $100. a month and the house is much warmer. Having the furnace ducts wrapped and the stone foundation sealed has made the entire house warmer. While it is too early to tell how much we will save of fuel oil, I expect substantial savings there as well. The furnace does not run nearly as much as in previous years even in the frigid temperatures we recently experienced. I was particularly impressed with the work crew who performed the work quickly and expertly. Thanks and kudos to Michael Bunker. He is a gem.

We are very impressed with the caliber of work done on our house by Evergreen, and by everyone we worked with from the company. Right from the beginning this spring, when we asked for a free energy review, all the way through the summer to the conclusion of our contract, we were constantly amazed by their willingness to answer questions, adapt to our schedule, explain every step of the process, and thoroughly clean up after every day’s work, so our four cats could wander freely in the house. Everyone associated with the company is personable, well-trained, skilled at customer satisfaction, and so very understanding about the impact the insulation job was making on our lives. Now that cold weather has set in, we notice a difference in the air temperature in places where they installed insulation. We would unhesitatingly recommend this company to anyone wishing to make a small change or a large one, for the quality of the work, and for the expertise of everyone associated with the company.

Evergreen came highly recommended by multiple people in the Maine energy efficiency community, and our experience confirmed their recommendation. Richard and his employees met with us to discuss our efficiency goals and give us a sense of the potential for improvements in our home, then conducted a comprehensive audit that provided us with detailed modeling of multiple upgrade scenarios. We settled on a relatively modest set of improvements to our home, built in the 1890s and completely without insulation. The workers were conscientious and unfailingly polite in their work, accommodating the nap times of two small children. The work was top quality, and has transformed the comfort of our home in winter. They also helped guide us through the process of obtaining financing and qualifying for the available incentives. Great company and great work.

We have lived in our circa 1794 home for over 20 years. So I have worked with my fair share of home contractors of all sorts. Working with Evergreen has completely changed what I would consider the “Gold Standard”. They show up when promised (every single time), do the promised work (to a level of quality beyond my expectations), and charge exactly what they quoted (despite a number of surprises). In the universe of home contractors this ranks them as “one in a thousand”. Their secret is their people. Every one of their workers is highly skilled, professional, easy to talk with, and an overall pleasure to have around! I am sure this is no accident; but a result of character, experience and training. Needless to say I give Evergreen Home Improvement my highest endorsement and recommendation!

The team of experts and very hard workers at Evergreen Home Performance are exceptional. They spent a long, hard week retrofitting old insulation, and blowing in densely packed new cellulose insulation (where there was NONE) to improve the energy efficiency and balance in our home. I would recommend them to anyone who needs/wants to improve energy efficiency. They are experts. They uncover details of complicated spaces. They now know more about our home, than we do!!! They approach the project in a careful, specific, documented, and considerate manner. Everything was crystal clear (and very clean) throughout the project. They were a delight to have around all week. They are very thorough, very professional and show up everyday with broad smiles!!! I look forward to another project with them next year.

I have just completed the final walk through of the work done to my home over the past weeks, insulating my attic and totally covering my dirt and rock, damp and musty basement with these amazing materials that will keep my home drier, warmer and so much more comfortable this winter and next summer (cooler and drier) and over the years to come. The workers were careful, pleasant and thorough. They went to extra efforts when they saw spots that needed a bit more. The communication was clear and detailed. It was a great experience working with Evergreen and I highly recommend making the investment. Joan Welsh

During the week of May 9th, 2016 Jason, Joel, Steven and Brian did an extraordinary job on insulating our basement here in Rockland, Maine. Their attention to detail and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. If all Contractors and their workers did such excellent work there would be no complaints by home owners. Not only was their work superior in quality, but all of them were personable, polite, patient and a joy to have around. It was a genuine pleasure to have them in our home and I will welcome them in the future for additional work. Thank you Evergreen for upholding such high standards.

First class organization, very professional. Even with a schedule problem caused by an in-house communication error, they performed very well. They were able to juggle other clients to substantially complete their work to allow another contractor to start and finish as scheduled. Evergreen was chosen based on the presentation of how the work was to be performed rather than the price. The lowest price is rarely an indicator of quality. I have no regrets in selecting Evergreen and would recommend them to anyone in the market for an insulation contractor.

We purchased a home knowing that we would be doing major renovations. Insulation was not on list but after our first winter (and a mild one at that) plans changed. The free energy audit was impressively thorough and gave us a ton of information to base our plan of action and budget. The work was executed efficiently and we are enjoying a comfortable second winter in our home. I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews that if you have an interest in energy efficiency you will be glad to meet the people of Evergreen.

Evergreen was fantastic to deal with. Their home energy audit was thorough, and they were always willing to answer questions and explain parts of the proposed plan. I felt like they were being honest and straight forward with me through the entire proposal process. The work that they eventually did was top notch, with a work crew that was skilled, detail oriented, and courteous. The insulation, and vapor barrier they put in have already changed the way our house feels during cool and warm months.

Our experience has been that the entire employee spectrum has been professional, comprehensive and responsive. An old dirt floor cellar of our 150 plus year old farmhouse was transformed from a wet humid moldy environment into a useable dry cellar- We have created a better root cellar ; mold is gone and we are able to actually use the basement space for storage. The difference in comfort in the main part of our house has significantly improved our comfort level. Its been dollars well spent.

We called Evergreen while we were in the middle of a kitchen renovation. Our builder had discovered that we had no insulation in our downstairs walls. We called Evergreen to see if we could fix it quickly and reasonably. They were able to send in their crew in the next few days and the project was completed within a week. We are happy to say that we can now heat our 1900 sq ft home solely with our wood stove. Very happy and warm we are! Thanks!

I can not say enough good things about my experience with Evergreen! From the first encounter and evaluation of the house to the final walkthrough everything and everyone was great. The crew was very professional and respectful. The work looks great. We had a big project, with top to bottom insulation and basement sealing. They were very fast and on budget. I will update after the winter with cost and comfort savings...

Evergreen came in and insulated our office attic and first floor ceiling space. They were on time, organized, friendly and professional. There was no run-around or games that are so frequent from less professional contractors. Brian and his team had answers and advice for any and all questions asked. Their work was of extremely high quality. I highly recommend their services.

The thoroughness of the review and the insulation and wooden platform of the attic joists, and the insulation and soffit venting of the kneewalls and storage spaces on the second floor have made the house much more comfortable. The work was superb (timely and top quality) and all my questions were answered completely and courteously.

Evergreen Home Performance helped us insulate our attic. We were very impressed with their knowledgable staff and efficient work. These guys know what they are talking about. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in energy audits, and designed energy saving solutions.

Working with Evergreen was a real pleasure from start to finish. Richard was very thorough in his initial audit and estimate. The work crew was clean and efficient and the job was done. Richard helped with the rebate paperwork.
