Description of Work: Henry returned to my home to finish an item missed on the original job by his crew. Originally, he spray foamed my attic, crawlspace and the area between the foundation and the start of the floor joist in the basement.

Great experience. We had to work with them a bit to get it scheduled due to trying to fit it in around other jobs they were doing in the area, but once we got it scheduled it went well. They had some issues with their equipment, but were able to get it cleared up and complete the job during the originally scheduled appointment. The room has definitely benefited from the insulation during these cold winter months.
Description of Work: They sprayed foam insulation under a sun porch so that we could use it year round.

They completely missed the first appointment. They rescheduled and then were a half hour late for that---and Of course they didn't call to notify that they would be tardy. How can you trust them to do a job when they can't even get an estimation done?

We are very sorry that this estimate did not work out. A message was left that we needed to reschedule the first appointment and a second appointment was made. We will be more diligent in speaking to the customer when needing to change an appointment, and work on having better communication with timing. Kassie Smith [hyperlink removed]

Representative came out to assess and price out job for us in October. They were aware the job would be starting in December. We were told they needed half the money up front and 30 day notice of the day we needed them. We send them a check (which they readily cashed) for half the money 30 days prior to the anticipated start day, followed up by several phone calls verifying the start day. |As we neared the start day and had all inspections and were ready to go we again called to remind them. The owner told us he could come in January!!!! Really??????? As you can imagine, my husband got very angry, told him to refund our money (which he did) and hung up the phone. |VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! In doing any job there are generally more than one person working, i.e. carpenter, plumber, electrician, etc. How dare this man hold up all these people...and in this economy!!! Shame on you!!!!!!!!

Very knowledgeable. Took the time during his in home estimate to explain the process of installation and the pros and cons of all types of foams. Crew was very nice and did a good job cleaning up at the end. Would highly recommend.

I had trouble even getting them to come out, it took them about a month to schedule an appointment. The employee was very abrupt and short, he acted like it was a big deal for even giving me the estimate. Their estimate was three times the amount of the company I ended up using. It was a bad experience overall.

Following this storm, we were handling an overwhelming amount of calls, trying to help all those affected. After some difficulty scheduling the estimate with the homeowner, we did send an employee to look at the job, and we regret any lack of follow through on his part. He is no longer with the company. Scheduling difficulties initially arose from the homeowner's lack of willingness to communicate. She would not provide an email address for correspondence, or even a full name.

Foam People were very responsive. They made time to consult with us the same day we called to schedule a consultation, and we received the estimate (and a revised estimate) shortly there after. Our rep., Steve, was very easy to talk to. He encouraged questions and explained the state of the industry in clear terms, trying his best to compare the real-world performance of spray foam vs. more traditional types of insulation. Once our attic had a floor, easier access, and light, we had a second consultation with Steve to eliminate any on-the-job surprises and to learn what prep work, if any, needed to be done prior to job start. We did experience a little difficulty getting a hold of our Foam People rep. to schedule the job after receiving the estimate, however once we managed to get a hold of him he was as responsive as he was initially. The two-and-a-half-day job went well and was completed ahead of schedule. The techs were courteous and explained every part of the process. They took their time setting up and cleaning up each day, and informed us when work was to start, when it was to stop, etc. Due to the nature of installation, techs work in shifts and take breaks, so this information was appreciated. We are very happy with Foam People and their work, and will use them again when applicable. Spray foam insulation is more expensive than other insulation materials, but it is very, very effective. Without it, our roof would not be as well insulated and we would not have as much usable space. When the outside temperature is in the 90's, our attic has never been more than 10 degrees warmer than the second floor; usually it is within +/- 5 degrees. We also don't waste energy melting the snow on our roof.
Description of Work: Foam People insulated our attic. Five inches of closed-cell foam was sprayed between the roof rafters as well as on the end walls.

First the crew removed existing fiberglass insulation which was in poor condition. Then about four inches of new foam was applied in the crawl space and the old fiberglass was cleaned up and bagged as requested. The service was as expected and we are very happy with how the foam is keeping the room warmer than it had been in previous winters.
Description of Work: We had Foampeople insulate an exposed crawl space under a room addition.

I missed his call and he was nice enough to wait almost 30 minutes in the cold for me to get home. He was very friendly, but more important he sees very knowledgeable. At this point, I'm not sure I'm going to do spray foam insulation, but if I decide to go forward I will definitely use Henry.

They quoted a price during the estimate and because the job got harder when they got here, they changed the price. There was just a confusion on the quote which disappointed me. However, the foam itself worked out very good. They stand by their product. Steve was very good with following up with me and he would come out to make sure everything was ok, which I appreciated. Even though the pricing was an issue, the price was much better than some people quoted. The job was very satisfactory and still way below most people. I think people should just get their pricing and make sure they go over it, and that they are clear on the price.

They were very responsive from the start, squeezing in a visit for an estimate late on a Friday afternoon. They were very patient with questions, and made sure their answers were clear and understood. Our job ultimately spanned 1.5 days, which was a little shorter than originally expected. The installers were consistently considerate, doing what they had to do with as little intrusion as possible, while voluntarily informing us of their progress. While there is always room for improvement, I'm cannot think of anything that Foam People could have improved with regards to our job.
Description of Work: Foam people insulated under our roof in the attic as well as the attic interior side walls, with approximately 5" of closed-cell foam.

It was an one day job. They came out and replaced my installation with a green friendly product. The product was called a Closed Cell spray foam insulation. They sprayed 4 inches on the ceiling and 3 inches on the walls. Steve and Henry (as well as mark and Donte) were professional and were extremely knowledgeable. After receiving several bids, their skills and made my choice easy. Also they were very detail oriented and made sure everything was completed to meet their high standards. Along with the work completed on my attic they installed rim Joice insulation in my basement.
Description of Work: They installed environmental safe insulation in a large sealed Attic
