From my initial phone calls with the office staff to the completion of the work by the crew, everyone we dealt with at Steinhardt Builders was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We moved into our house about a year ago and knew from our home inspection that the insulation in the attic was inadequate. Living through one winter, we found the house was drafty and one bedroom in particular was especially cold. Steinhardt Builders is one of Com Ed's approved energy efficiency providers for the Com Ed / Nicor Gas rebates. We received two quotes from two approved providers but chose to hire Steinhardt based on their exceptional customer service and knowledgeable staff. In summary, in our upper attic, they installed soffit baffles, an air barrier around the skylight and blew in insulation. In the crawlspace, they sprayed foam insulation on the rim joists and installed insulation panels on the crawlspace walls. They performed the door blower test before and after the work was done to quantify their work. We couldn't be more pleased. It's only been a few days, but the house already feels left drafty and we've made adjustments to our thermostat that we know over the years will save us money. If you are seeking to increase your home's energy efficiency, give Steinhardt a call for a quote.
Description of Work: Steinhardt builders performed a home energy assessment, suggested ideas to make our house more energy efficient and we contracted with them to further insulate our attic and crawl space.

Description of Work: They installed foam insulation below my family room floor in an effort to make it warmer in the winter. It did help, but I would grade the results at about a B. The guys who did the work worked hard and did a nice job. The biggest problem was scheduling the work with their office. The women in the office take several days to call you back, don't call to confirm appointments, can't spell last names correctly, don't know how to access the scheduling system, etc. The result was that the workers showed up on a day I was not expecting them. I had called to see if they were coming out, and the office couldn't even find me in the system, so they scheduled me for a different day. Then the guys showed up on the original day. They drove me crazy.

Description of Work: After interviewing 4 other contractors to fix my roof, all sourced from Angie's List, Project Manager Don was first person to give me an HONEST, thorough explanation of the work necessary to fix it. Don and his team were punctual, friendly, and kept the house very clean. I received a good price for the work. I would definitely hire them again

Please contact our office to confirm the address you would like the refund mailed to. 7735164766. Thanks, Sharona Steinhardt

Description of Work: They were chosen by Nicor and CoMed as part of a subsidized energy saving program. Our attic insulation was sorely in need of improvement. They did a fine job. As to whether we saved enough on energy, that still has to be shown. But it was the right thing to do for the environment.

He gave me a list of options that would save me from wasting energy. For example he noticed that my recessed lighting had no covers to keep the air from going in and out. Also that I needed an inlet for the roof and suggested I put in roof vents. Also caulking windows as the caulking was cracked.

Very happy with the work as completed, especially when subsidized by the state program. The work was scheduled and then pushed back a few days because of some delays on other jobs they were working on and weather during those scheduled days. The majority of the work was completed in one day, and another crew came back out a week later to finish up part of it, and then the roofers were able to complete the work after that. The scheduling wasn't perfect but I understand there were a lot of moving parts, and thankfully it wasn't a huge inconvenience for us involving multiple days taken off of work or any no-shows or miscommunications.

still working with them, trying to get my assessment. will update once I receive.
Description of Work: Received an air flow test over 2.5 weeks ago and have still not received the report. I'm interested in getting the energy impact grant. I paid $99 for the test but still no report or estimate after I have sent four emails to owner. He was out of the country week one. I hope I can update this if they respond this week.

Response from Steinhardt Builders, Inc
Hi [member name removed], I apologize for this mishap, it was not deliberate. While its not an excuse, we traveled out of the country, as my 18 yr old brother has a terminal brain tumor, and his situation had worsened terribly. We will have your documents sent today, and are also aware of the fact that we might lose some business as a result of our trip. This is a family owned and operated business, which is why our customers receive the great service that we normally can provide. It was not a business choice to go visit my brother with my children, rather a personal one. I am sorry if we didn't meet your expectations. I wish you well, and will help provide any info you need in order for another contractor to perform the work for you- if that is what you wish. Take care, Sharona Steinhardt

They are definitely professionals in their field. The office helped us get into the NICOR/COMED program and facilitated the processing of the paperwork. On the day of the insulation, they were in early morning and immediately covered all areas they would be working in, as well as all hallways. They worked as cleanly as possible and cleaned up after themselves. They were very responsive to any questions I raised during the day and were very careful to make sure to check that they were as out of our way as possible.
