Building Performance Solutions does an average quality of work, but watch the owner Mr. Alexis Van Rijn around your girlfriend or wife. My wife and I were in a poly-relationship with him and his sweetheart, innocent, and neglected wife. He proceeded to manipulate my wife. My wife and he both decided, that they wanted a divorce within a 2 week period respectively from each of us. He will do decent work, if he doesn’t cancel, to obsessively, narcissistically, and selfishly have an affair, with my soon to be ex-wife. Just don’t get involved with excruciating lawsuits with him, for they can get complicated. Thank you, Mr. Alex and Building Performance Solutions, for ruining two friendships, two marriages, two families, and lots of lives, but at least you exposed my wife’s true colors, which are dull, pale, and extremely lackluster.
Description of Work: Definitely not work on my wife…

They did a fantastic job! Far beyond my explanations. IF I need more insulation, I'd call them! If someone asked who to call for insulation, my only answer would be Building Performance Solutions!

Alex and his crew were fantastic! They removed old blown-in insulation from our attic, which wasn't an easy feat considering it was contaminated with debris from a roof replacement, and installed new spray foam insulation throughout the attic. They were clean, efficient, communicative, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

The owner sold me this job. I had gotten 2 other quotes. I likes his presentation. He answered a lot of my questions and knows this product well. I was schedule about a week later for my install. A crew of 3 showed up to perform the work and were done within the day. They showed up at 9 and by 3 or 4 they were pretty much done. Very professional. I took that day off of work so I could witness the operation. Any errors were immediately taken care of to my satisfaction.

Alex came out immediately to give me a quote. Covid caused a slight delay in the job being performed. When his crew arrived, they completed the job in a timely and professional manner. The holes in the brick motor where the foam was inserted is not noticeable. There was no damage to my home or property, and they cleaned up well when they were done. There were a couple challenges to my job, but they figured out a safe and effective way to complete the job. I would highly recommend Building Performance Solutions.

Reaching out to Building Performance Solutions, they were very quick to respond. They were able to quote me based on describing what type of insulation I was looking for along with a floor plan drawling . The price that was quoted to me was a great price. What I really appreciated was that they could perform both the Wall injections along with the cellulose insulation. The Installation went great. The team showed up on-time. The team was very professional, prior to blowing in the cellulose the team installed soffit covers to allow the attic to continue to breath. The team did a great job of getting the entire attic covered to the appropriate thickness. Wall injections went smoothly as well. The only snag I ran into was that the wall injection was water-based took a really long time to dry (~4-5 weeks) and had a smell for a while. The reason it took a while to dry is because I had the walls insulated during the middle of summer when the air was the most humid. Best thing to do is to get fans, Open the garage doors and leave them open all day. Eventually the smell went away after the insulation dried. During the drying time, Building Performance Solutions worked with me to explain the insulation drying time. I would highly recommend Building Performance Solutions for insulation.

Alex and the crew from BPS were awesome. Alex was super professional from start to finish and our his work was top notch. He was very honest about what needed to be done, what should/could be done, and what could wait. His entire team cleaned up after the job and my wife didn't even know they were there. Our house is noticeably better at holding cool/heat now. I highly recommend Building Performance Solutions if you like the environment and hate high energy bills.

From start to finish Alex and his team were courteous and timely. The removal of the attic fan and laundry chute was done neatly without causing damage to the drywall and plaster. After the team boarded those areas up the insulation was blown in. The insulation has decreased our energy bills and increased the comfort of our home. I would highly recommend Alex and his team!

Very satisfied. Took the time to answer my questions when inquiring and requesting a quote. Had a tight project schedule and they were very accommodating and fit me in. Did a great job prepping to prevent over-spray, and cleaned up well after they were done. Very professional and wouldn't think twice about using them again in the future, they have my recommendation.

Things went very well. The workers showed up on time. The work area was covered and they worked very efficiently to remove the insulation from the attic in very warm temperatures. They cleaned up the area and even replaced and painted an access door that had been chipped during the work process. I highly recommend this company if you are in need of attic insulation.

Outstanding. The final results exceeded my expectations. Is as if the house was covered with a warm blanket; the house no longer had a damp coolness. Now it feels warmer at a lower thermostat temperature. And added Bonus of excellent sound proofing; I live off a busy road. I would recommend Alex and his company every opportunity I can. They are true professionals. Simply put I’m thrilled with the results; it’ll pay for it self with AC & heat savings.
