I couldn't have gotten someone who would have done a better, more professional job. They saw the little extra things they could do and did them without additional cost. The arrived on time, introduced themselves, put down a drop cloth that covered EVERYTHING, got right to work and updated me when they were done. They were honest in all the pros and cons of each part of doing the job and the costs were well in line with other contractors. They deserved the great rating they had before I even called them. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Description of Work: Added attic chutes for ventilation and added additional insulation in the attic. They also caught a problem from when the house was built, arranged to come back and removed the sofit panels outside and cut holes so that the chutes that they added actually vent to the outside. They also caught inadequate sealing of a bathroom fan and fixed it without added charges.

Brian came out personally to give me an estimate. He arrived early and was very friendly and informative. He was able to work me into his schedule on short notice. His employees came 15 minutes early and waited until the appointed time to come to the door. We walked through the details of the project and then a few minutes later Brian showed up as well in order to check up on the crew and review the work again. The guys were very friendly, quick and careful. They were done quickly and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them. They were easy to work with and it was an enjoyable experience. By the way, Brian gave me an alternative ceiling application that was about half the price with similar results (R-19 batts in the ceiling instead of netting and blowing in insulation).
Description of Work: Foamed the basement walls and rim joists and put batts in the ceiling.

They were excellent. Fortunately they fixed me up so I'll never have to call again, but if I had to, I would. I would recommend them. We did comparative shopping on that project and they were in the middle, but we felt highly confident in their presentation and their person. They were good. They did what they said they were going to do and they did it efficiently. They started when they said they would start and they did it ahead of schedule.
Description of Work: The last major work we had was in the roof duct of the house. It was a roofing project done by Lewis Insulation. They did work on the roof deck that's between the roof and the upper story. They put in two layers of foam and on top of that they added loose fill up to 60 R value, in excess of the local requirements.

The company contacted me within a day after I sent them an email about my insulation project. Brian came out to estimate the job the next day. He arrived on time and was cordial, friendly and efficient. He explained his recommendations and answered all my questions. He immediately had a solution for how to keep my outside faucet extender functional once the foam was in place. He provided an estimate on the spot which was reaffirmed in a contract sent via email later. Once two bids from the three businesses I had invited to provide estimates were received (one was too slow in responding), I awarded it to Lewis because they provided the low bid, had a top-notch reputation on Angie's List, and left me with a favorable impression at every contact with them. The work was scheduled for 7 am and the Lewis truck drove up 15 minutes early. I went out to meet Steve and Will, both who were friendly and courteous. I walked Steve through the basement area pointing out a couple of spots needing special attention (including a yellowjacket nest in one of the rim joist areas). They brought in a ventilation fan to exhaust fumes from the basement and got to work. Two hours later they were done and gave me a tour of their work which looked clean and consistently applied. They had sprayed the nest with wasp foam spray, knocked it down and foam insulated over that area. I was surprised there was virtually no chemical smell in the basement after foam insulation had been applied to a very wide area. They cleaned up their work area, collected my check, and were on their way by 9:15. It couldn't have gone better.

I actually went with Lewis Insulation which I also found on Angie's List. I just bought a house and when I had the inspection done they had recommended for energy saving purposes and heat loss so that's why I had the attic insulated. I found them on Angie's List and you know, one of the top rated insulation people in the area so we went with it. And when we talked to them over the phone they were knowledgeable and easy to work with. The price was exactly what I thought it was going to be.

I purchased a Big Deal coupon for Lewis Insulation. I really like the worker. He seemed very knowledgeable. The problem with insulation work, from my perspective, is that unless you have second energy audit that you really don't know whether or not they did a good job. But he worked with us, he made us aware of the energy audit and worked with us to get a rebate after the work was done so I felt it was very professional.

Brian (the owner) was great to deal with from arranging and receiving the estimate to setting up the appointment with his crew - Steve and Will. I got 6 estimates and Lewis was in the lower 1/3 so I didn't hesitate to select them since a friend of mine also used Lewis for a similar job recently. They were able to schedule the work within a week of getting the estimate which was another bonus. The crew arrived right on schedule, bright and early, and worked hard all day. They were very conscientious about keeping the house and work areas clean. All said Lewis is just a great outfit.

I first inquired about insulating our attic two years ago. An appointment with Mr. Lewis was scheduled, and he arrived promptly. He conducted a thorough inspection of our home and made specific recommendations. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He provided important information about his company, length of time in business, care in hiring employees. That evening, he e-mailed an estimate for the work that was much lower than another estimate I had received. We did not proceed with the work until this year. When I called, Mr. Lewis cheerfully came out again and thoroughly re-evaluated our home. Even though I said that I understood if the estimate needed to be increased because of the intervening two years, he honored the previous estimate. He was very careful to be sure that we obtained an energy rebate and contacted the energy company on our behalf. On the scheduled date two employees arrived exactly on time. They were very polite and explained clearly what they were going to do. They took great care in keeping our home clean. They worked very hard the whole time they were here. I could tell by the conversations that I overheard that they were approaching the project in a very thorough and thoughtful manner. When they left there was no sign of insulation, and everything was very clean. I promptly received in the mail from Lewis Insulation all of the forms required to receive an energy rebate. They were completed, stapled together, and the few areas remaining for me to fill out were highlighted. The whole process from beginning to end could not have gone more smoothly or inspired more confidence.
Description of Work: All accessible attic penetrations and bypasses were air sealed and cellulose insulation was added to raise R-value in attic from 20 to 50.

The inspection showed some issues - house built in the 60s, hadn't been re-insulated since then, and all insulation was compacted and some was damp. Inspection also showed the vents were not connected through attic to the roof - venting into the attic, increasing ice issues in the winter. During the inspection, the provider took care to explain what he was finding, and where it wasn't obvious, he also explained why it was important. In addition to doing a clean, efficient job installing conduits, sealing the ducts, and replacing roof vents with the correct type, he worked with me on some materials, granting me a discount for soffit vents that I procured. When the installation was blown in, he had us look at the completed work and asked if we were happy with the job (we were). Then to finish, he added some insulation to the crawlspace door, and caulked it so that there would be no cold air leakage through the door. Clean, neat, professional, thorough, and good customer service.

After another insulation company failed me, I called Lewis at 430pm on a Thursday. Friday they came out and did the free estimate and then by Monday they were finished with the job!!! I am refinishing 1/2 my basement in an old 1960's rambler, I had already had the framing up (left a 1" gap behind framing for the spray foam) and passed my electrical inspection, was just waiting on some insulation. When I called on Thursday, the ballpark quote given on the phone was accurate after the actual estimate. Estimator said they had a job Monday morning close by and could do the work after that. Monday morning, the crew showed up early and were very helpful in informing me about the product and the process. They put tape on all the framing and covered the floors, so that when they were finished the room was ready for me with no mess!!! They were in and out very quickly and again were helpful (I asked a lot of questions!!) Another thing to note, the estimator noticed that I had a large quantity of "sound" insulation in my garage when he arrived, after we were talking about the project in my basement I was explaining what I was doing (music room in the basement) and was trying just to improve sound absorption, he recommended I try using resilient channels in the ceiling and even had his crew show up Monday with an example of the product and where I could get it. But the thing I really liked about it was he was just informing me about something rather than trying to sell it to me, I was very appreciative of the information. I am very pleased with the quality, timeliness and friendliness of everyone I talked to or worked with a Lewis Insulation.
Description of Work: Spray foamed my basement exterior walls (62 feet at 7 feet high) and rim joists (62 feet at 1 foot) with 2" of closed cell spray foam.

I used an Angie's List Big Deal special for his service and the experience was very positive. He was really nice, honest and told us that we did not need anything. He was prompt and showed up on time. Mr. Lewis went up in the attic and did an infra-red camera inspection around our ceilings and everything so he was very thorough. When we got done he said our insulation was adequate but that he could top it off if we wanted but he did not think the cost would justify the benefit. He gave us two estimates; one for sealing the seal plate around the house which is pretty standard now but was not when our house was built and the other for the insulation. I did not compare prices but the prices seemed fine to me.

Very well. Prompt estimate. Arrived on time for both estimate appt and the job itself placed large cloth drop sheets where they were walking. Fun to watch them blow insulation in -- poked my head up there to see before and after. Already can see a difference on the roof (much less snowmelt compared to before). Very happy with their service
