Carbonneau Insulation LLC

Insulation, Central Vacuum Cleaning, Gutters,

About us

Al Carbonneau got his start in insulation while working for a local company. In 1985 Al Carbonneau Insulation and Son was formed. It was a 1-man operation started in the trunk of a car. A few weeks later Al got a trailer for his car. As the work continued to come in Al was able to lease his first truck, a 1983 ford stake body, which he outfitted with a steel frame and canvas to protect him from the elements. Life was good. Somewhere around 1987 Al began installing galaxie central vacuum systems along with the fiberglass batt insulation. In that same year Al purchased his first blown-in insulation machine. It was a green force two. Economically speaking the economy was booming. In and around 1988 Al formed a partnership with his brother Bob. They installed drywall and insulation and at one point had about 40 men working for them. Well, as we're seeing today, the bubble burst. The economy stalled and overnight A & B Carbonneau Enterprises was dissolved. Al went back on his own and started Energy Resources Inc, however by 1991 the economy was so bad Al was forced to file for bankruptcy. All was lost, including the family house. We were now renters. It was during these 3 years that the Carbonneau’s were officially out of business. In 1994 Mike Carbonneau decided to take a leave of absence from what was at the time U-Lowell to take a job as, what else, an insulator. He promised his mother that he would go back and wouldn't you know, 14 years later still hasn't fulfilled that promise. From 1994-1997 Mike owned and operated Mike Carbonneau Insulation Company, mostly working for another insulation company as a sub-contractor. Finding it very hard to find work on my own. Al on the other hand had moved to North Carolina and took a job driving a truck. Then in May of 1997 I received a call from my dad, he asked if I'd be interested in starting a new business with him. He said he'd call on some of his old customers. I was extremely reluctant, would we have enough work to survive or would this business fail like all of the previous ones had? In June of 1997 Mike and Al Carbonneau formed Carbonneau Insulation Company. Focused and determined, they set out on foot building relationships one contractor at a time. As the years moved on we added seamless aluminum gutters and wire closet shelving to our list of services. In 2008 we became an LLC and purchased our first warehouse. We'd like to thank all of our past customers for their support and would also like to welcome all new ones.

Carbonneau is great! This is why I am writing a review even without having been asked personally or by email - which I only do when job or product is outstanding. Carbonneau did two insulation projects in my house this year. A large one in September, involving attic insulation (cellulose, lifting of platform) and insulating a large unused/unheated room in the second floor. This first one was done so diligently and cleanly, that I immediately texted Mike Carbonneau to thank him for his and his team's professionalism. Also, the team was friendly, and it seems they all get along very well and work hand-in-hand. The second project was done yesterday: insulating two crawl spaces through which the house was loosing quite some energy. These spaces were tricky due to their small size and complex geometry. It probably took the team longer than they had anticipated. Nonetheless, they continued to the end at the quality that they had delivered in the first project. Not rushing through things, great care! I love it when I feel I'm in hands of people who put the same care as if it was their own house!

Thanks to Mike my attic finally was insulated. MassSave, after having several contractors come and look at the work over a period of 2 years decided they could not do the work. After that I called Mike and he came immediately, He discussed the options with me and agreed that the way MassSave approached it was not feasible but suggested alternatives. Turned out I needed to redo the roof and Mike helped me find a roofer that would allow him to insulate as the roof was being re-shingled. The work went well, on time and without a hitch, except that some plaster went down because of the roof work and Mike's team damaged one ceiling while insulating... But Mike covered all repairs including the roofer's. He also called after a few weeks to check how the house felt, well it is definitely warmer! Thanks Mike!

The 3 employees who performed the work were professional, hard working and I couldn't believe the clean-up they did. There wasn't a speck on my flooring, carpet. Everything (including my bedspread) was covered with plastic sheeting. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing this type of services.

Description of Work: MassSave recommended this contractor as one among several they recommend to accomplish this type of work. MassSave also subsidized $2000 of the total $2700 cost of the service. |Carbonneau was flexible on scheduling the service, ultimately completing a two day job in one day by adding a second crew. They blew in insulation into the uninsulated antique exterior walls of this structure. The crew was professional and hard working.

Description of Work: The owner, Mike, has scheduled an appointment twice without showing up, messing up my time and my overall project plan. This company has very poor organizational function and the owners are just very irresponsible. You don't want to use them because you won't get any job done except plenty of frustration. Their deplorable work ethics are beyond words. Angie's List is crazy to include this guy and covers him with so many positive comments for the purpose of advertising revenue. Again and again Angie's List has disappointed many users.

Things went quite well. Mike came out to my house and got an understanding of what I was looking for him to do. He was open and honest and didn't beat around the bush with information - which I appreciate myself. I emailed him a couple of times after the initial meeting and he got back to me promptly with what I needed from him since this was an insurance backed job. When the day came to install, they spray foamed everything and covered ever nook and cranny. There was a little mess afterwards, but nothing unexpected. The guys who showed up to to do the work were professional and were in and out after about 6 hours. Overall the experience was great. I plan on contacting them again when I need to do other areas of my house.

They did an excellent job, great attention to detail and overall professionalism. Sent extra crew to make sure the job would be done in one day. On top of everything else the cost ended up well below the estimate. It's rare to get this level of service, I would recommend these guys to everybody!

I worked with both Michael and Al Carbonneau, they were both great. They did what they said they would, they were flexible even though at times we made a few changes last minute. They cleaned the entire workspace when they were done and got the work done in one day, which worked out perfect based on the timeline of the project and the need for other contractors to get in and complete their work. I also at the last minute decided to spray foam insulate my attic. When I discussed it with Michael, he provided a contact who came in right away and did a great job. it was a pleasure working with Carbonneau, I would recommend them to anyone. I'm using them again to install Gutters on my home in the spring of 2014. Thanks guys! Al B.

Kevin and Rodney came to our house as part of the Mass Saves program. They tested the house for air movement. They air sealed gaps in the basement and attic. They insulated the rim joists in the basement, They also covered a crawl space in the basement with plastic to keep moisture out and installed a cap above our attic stairs. They were so nice and considerate-they put plastic on the carpets and floors to keep it all clean. They were very knowledgable and I would highly recommend them.

Carbonneau was the company choosen by MassSAVE to do the insulation work recommended by our MassSAVE inspector. They were prompt, kept everything remarkably clean, and had a respectful team to get the very long project done in a day. They did not ask about the aesthetic issues, for example, the weatherstripping around our front door was installed with round, silver-colored screws every 1.5 inches or so, and those screwheads really don't match everything else going on around the doorframe. But nevertheless the door is much less drafty and I am very glad they did such a thorough job.
Description of Work: They insulated the attic, sealed up cracks in the basement, installed insulation around the outside doors, and probably a few other things that I am forgetting about.

It was an all day job with 6 people working. They were early and started setting up and were ready to go. The team was professional and did a very good job. They explained what they would be doing throughout the day. It can be a messy job but they kept things as neat as they could while working and cleaned up very well (even vaccuming up insulation that got in our garden and yard). Things went smoothly and we were pleased. Mass Save did an inspection a few weeks later and we passed with no problems.
Description of Work: They were referred through the Mass Save program. They did all of the air sealing and insulation recommended after the Mass Save assessment. Blew dense pack cellulose into the walls from the outside. Open blow cellulose and propavent in the attic.
