Description of Work: Everyone from Wilkin was top notch. Larry came out to measure the attic space between the third floor ceilings and the flat roof on our six flat. We cut holes in the ceiling so that he could inspect the job. It turns out that there was absolutely no insulation in this space. Larry quoted for r-38 or 14 inches of the Mansville fiberglass over the 4000+ square feet. The workers were great, diligent and did their difficult work very quickly. We gained about 5 degrees of warmth in the third floor units. I can't recommended Wilkin highly enough--they were personable, professional, and did a great job.

Did not choose this contractor.
Description of Work: I wanted to add blown-in insulation to the attic of my 20 year home. Steve was very professional and courteous on the phone, and came out promptly to give me an estimate and answer my questions. He was very trustworthy and did not rush through, and made sure he answered my questions and educated me as I had never had blown in insulation done before. His bid was very competitive and he called a week later to follow up to see if I had any questions. I opted to use another contractor (I got 2 bids) simply because I was well down the path with the guy I chose and all things being equal, I probably could have chosen either bidder, but went with the first one, and not Wilkin. No problems with Wilkin and I'm certain they would have done a great job. ($700)

THE SERVICEMAN WAS NICE ENOUGH TO COME TO OUR HOUSE ON A SAT TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE, EVEN THOUGH HE SAID THAT THEY DON'T WORK WEEKENDS. HE WAS VERY RUDE AFTER LOOKING AT WHAT WE WANTED DONE. HE EVEN HAD THE NERVE TO RAISE HIS VOICE AT US AND TELL US THAT WE WERE WASTING OUR MONEY AND THEIR TIME. HE SAID THAT IT IS A WASTE, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THIS AND ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. WE HAVE LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY CAN RECTIFY THE ATTITUDE PRESENTED BY THEIR COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIVE. IF THE OWNER AGREES TO MAKE AMENDS, WE MAY HIRE.
Description of Work: ALL WE WANTED TO DO WAS HAVE SOMEONE PUT DOWN 4" INSULATION BETWEEN THE JOISTS, PUT UP SOME PLYWOOD FOR A SUB-FLOOR ON ABOUT 75% OF THE 1800 SQ FT AREA, AND THEN BLOW INSULATION ON TOP OF THAT.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB INSULATING THE ATTIC CRAWL SPACE. IT WAS A HARD AREA TO GET INSULATION INTO, SINCE THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ROOM TO WORK BETWEEN THE ROOF JOISTS AND CEILING. THEY DID SCRATCH MY FLOORS UP A BIT WITH THEIR HOSE, SO MY ADVICE TO FUTURE USERS- PROTECT YOUR FLOORS IN THE AREA THEY ARE WORKING.

INFORMED OF MINIMUM FEE OF $349. TOLD THAT THEY EXPECTED VERY LITTLE IMPROVEMENT IN INSULATION DESPITE AN EXPENSIVE AND MESSY JOB. THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO PURSUE THE JOB. STEVE CAME OUT ON A SATURDAY MORNING (LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER THE INITIAL CALL WAS MADE), SHOWED UP 15 MINUTES EARLY, WAS PROFESSIONAL AND INFORMATIVE, AND SAID THAT HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME A QUOTE FOR THE JOB BECAUSE HE DID NOT ANTICIPATE THAT IT WOULD IMPROVE OUR SITUATION. I APPRECIATED HIS HONESTY, ONLY WISHED THAT HE HAD A SUGGESTION FOR AN ALTERNATIVE.
