I requested estimates from quite a few insulation companies, but decided to go with Penguin on the recommendation of my contractor. I am so glad I did! The one-man crew, Romeo, was a master installer of closed-cell spray foam. He was timely, responsive to my questions, and extremely attentive to details and my requests. The insulation installation could not have gone any better. Excellent work, excellent value! I would highly recommend this company!
Description of Work: Spray closed-cell insulation on basement perimeter block walls.

Description of Work: This is the second time I have used Penguin Insulation. The first time was last year to insulate my shop/garage. This time I had them add insulation to my attic. Both times they were prompt, pleasant and professional. They did an excellent job at a good price.

The one-man crew was great. He was right on-time and very professional and courteous. He sealed things off well, communicated about what he was up to, and cleaned up well. I'm very happy with the outcome. Good communication ahead of the project as well.
Description of Work: I had spray foam insulation done on the rim joists in a pair of unfinished rooms in my basement. This replaced the fiberglass batting I had installed a few years ago. I wanted good insulation but also to plug up any unseen holes where mice were getting in.

Description of Work: The crew did a wonderful job at a competitive cost. My one concern was with communication. It was a busy time of the year and it was very difficult to contact anyone with regards to getting a bid and after the work getting some follow up documentation. I would highly recommend them.

Penguin was recommended by a neighbor. They responded quickly to our inquiry, arrived on time, completed the job as promised, and were good about cleaning up. This was blown-in insulation and they kept the mess to a bare minimum. We were particularly pleased this winter - no ice dams, not even an ice cycle, and the furnace is running much less frequently. Yeah, Penguin!
Description of Work: We own a townhome built in 1978. The insulation had never been updated and we were having problems with ice dams.

I had work with Dave Langness almost the whole summer just because I didn’t know what I was doing and understanding stuff about insulation and what they had to do. He was very patient with me. He came out and gave me an estimate and I still had many questions and basically go over everything again. He actually came out again to explain to me everything and show me where the vents would come out. I think he went above and beyond and go over everything. His guys did a great job and actually worked overtime into the early evening. I wanted to get the insulation because of the ice damage that I’ve had. The insulation hadn’t been added to in years and years. Since having a new insulation, so far, there’s been no signs yet of ice damage. I’m satisfied.
Description of Work: Penguin Insulation came out to install insulation for me.

I was mildly concerned at first when our Friday appt. was rescheduled to the following Monday last minute due to staffing issues (sick/injured workers, etc.) and I wasn't given an estimated arrival time. However, the worker showed up Monday morning, was very courteous and respectful and got right to work. He did a great job installing all the closed cell but unfortunately, due to an equipment malfunction issue, he informed me he'd have to come back the following morning to do the closed cell after returning to the shop to perform repairs on the equipment that night as he didn't have the proper tools on him. I was a bit disappointed but appreciated that he explained the issue to me and told me it was preventing the proper mixture of chemicals and he didn't want to finish the job then because he wanted to make sure it was done just right. He returned promptly the next morning with another worker for help and they had the job finished before noon. They also cleaned up nicely afterwards, which I appreciated. My husband and I are very happy with the results! They did a fantastic job of filling every nook and cranny and the room now feels warmer than the rest of the house! My husband commented that they far exceeded his expectations. We will definitely hire Penguin again for our future remodel jobs.
Description of Work: Penguin installed closed cell and open cell insulation in our bedroom.

Penguin Insulation were very good. I like how he worked well with the other contractors, because one guy had to put the floor back down so the insulation guy could do his work. I gave them each others numbers and told them that I expected them to be professional and work well together. They needed to, because the one needed to have the floor to stand on, but then some of the insulation also had to go under the floor. They both needed to work well together.
Description of Work: Penguin Insulation put in my insulation.

Gary was timely in arranging a visit and giving us a quote. He was very slow getting us references, which we had to request several times. The workers were prompt and did a good job of cleaning up. The final price came in below the quote. The jury is still out on whether or not they fixed our problems.

They arrived on time and filled the cavities with high quality closed cell foam.
Description of Work: For this service date, we used Penguin as a subcontractor to insulate a second floor bathroom during a remodel in a home built in 1918. They installed closed cell foam in the walls and ceiling.

This was a big job and went very smoothly. They were very responsive and did exactly what they bid at the cost that they bid. I had four bids for this job and they were definitely the best value. They provided a quality product along with excellent service. I would absolutely use them again and I would also recommend them to anyone who needs help with insulation. I graded quality at "B" only because they missed a little bit of the Vapor Barrier and had a couple of low spots after blowing the insulation. They were quick to respond and fixed these issues without any hesitation or complaint. This job was only part of a major 2 year renovation project and we had many contractors come through during the project. Of all the contractors we worked with, Penguin Insulation was the easiest to work with. They simply did what they said they would at the price they agreed to. They were flexible to our schedule and fixed everything that we asked them to fix. I wish all contractors operated the way these guys do...
Description of Work: They removed old insulation, added air chutes, new vapor barrier on exposed ceilings, sealed up several voids, re-blew to R44.

Did not choose this company primarily because we decided to go with another company that uses a certain type of insulation. Also, salesman was not very professional.
