I definitely would not give them a good rating because it was awful. It was not a good experience.
Description of Work: I used Hughesco Inc. in April two years ago. They did energy star assessment for me and my husband. They came in and did quite a bit of work on the house. One of the things they did was installation. They put in a new front door and screen door. They put in a chimney liner. They installed two doors in my daughter's bedroom. They put in a water heater tank in my house. They did auditing throughout the house for energy efficiency.

The gentlemen that came was prompt, professional and friendly. He said he would get an estimate out the next day via e-mail, but I waited two weeks and finally got a paper estimate in the mail. The prices were quite high. We had already decided to go with another contractor and the job starts this week.

They came on time and got the job done on time. They were replacing an old boiler and they had to come back and tweak it a few times. They came and did that as soon as we called to get it fixed. We were overall pleased with them. They cleaned up everything and they were good. They were very professional, very friendly and easy to work with.

Didn't go at all!
Description of Work: I had had it with outrgageous gas bills and my house always being cold. I'm talking about $600.00 monthly heating bills for a ranch less than 1500 square feet and the thermostat set at 68. Not to mention that I had a brand new boiler installed about 1 year prior to contacting Hughesco and that didn't seem to help whatsoever. The energy auditor arrived on time and proceeded to show us where we were losing heat and and wrote everything out. We were given an estimate of $13,500. My husband & I talked about it over the weekend and decided to have all the work done that was suggested (insulation, a few new windows and new doors). We then filled out the paperwork for the loan and such and were contacted about a week later from the energy auditor. We initially were told that our monthly repayment would be around $80 a month for 10 years at an interest rate of 6%. Our auditor told us that he was able to get us a loan with a repayment of $230 a month spanning 3 years at 0% interest. Can't do better than zero interest so of course we wer thrilled. However, when we received financing info from bank it showed that our interest rate would be 22%. We contacted our auditor who assured us that our interest was zero! Not the case! A bunch of calls back and forth ensued and the auditor said he never told us our interest rate would be zero. LIAR! In separate conversations to my husband and me, he reassured that the loan would remain interest free as long it was repaid under the current terms. We refused to have the work done and was told by this auditor that it was too late as the conract was signed and the materials had been ordered. We were told that a lien would be put on our home. Yes, the contract was signed, but we were told repeatedly by this auditor that there would be zero interest and in fact it was 22%! Yes, I am aware if one doesn't qualify for a specific loan, Hughesco tries to get you financed through other options/banks. But to lie to us about the terms of the loan? Needless to say, we finally spoke to the owner who was willing to nullify the contract...the only good thing to come of this situation.

i had whole house insulated and reroofed. hughesco failed the energy star inspection, as per accompanying gov.loan. 4 months after roof ws installed shingles began blowing off my roof. after having doubts about the quality of the work done i touch it upon myself to call other roofing companies. i was/am still completely discusted with there findings. work has been found to be incomplete, in many instances done wrong( code violations), used substandard matterials( according to other professionals). after months of trying to address the situation with hughesco, have also found thi comp. to be unresponsive, rude, and not willing address the situation.

Audit, estimate went great as all sales calls do. After that, it was all sleazy car sales city. Would not even agree to let us know if the work we wanted done conformed to the savings/investment ratio required by the energy star program, unless they had a credit application in their grubby paws. "Company policy". Guess whose policy dictates. Not to mention their prices are astronomical. Like $600 per average size double hung window!

The company was not on time, left a terrible mess in my basement and was not only unlicensed they also did not obtain a building permit from my village. I actually found out they needed one when I called my town to ask what part of the building code mandated that I have a hard wired CO2/Smoke detector installed in my basement. I was then told that they did not follow code since they only installed one detector instead of installing several for each floor of the home as well as in each bedroom. The three day job took over three months. When I asked for a refund on the installation portion of the job I was screamed at by the owner Darin. I had the opportunity to speak with him twice, both times he screamed and carried on as if he was a child - incredibly unprofessional. I also had the opportunity to work with 4 project managers since the company has high turnover and I got to hear first hand the owner screaming at the fourth project manager that had nothing to do with my job until the very end. I was shocked and apologized to the employee for the owner's tactics (that project manager was also let go three weeks after he started). Instead of a discount on the installation price I was offered a discount on windows that I ordered and planned to install myself. The windows were ordered incorrectly and at one point I could not locate three of the windows since the third project manger had them with him when he was let go, and then hired back a week later. Eventually Hughesco installed the three remaining windows, however they were installed incorrectly and this weekend I plan to re-install them myself. All in all this job cost me 18,170 and I would not recommend them if they gave away their work for free. I am still trying to obtain a final home comparison report - they mailed me one when they felt the job was complete except it was on someone elses home. I had to double check all of their work and was told one part of the basement had been insulated, when I removed the board to expose the area I was shocked to find it had not been touched with the exception of two nails being placed in the board to make it look like it had been taken down and put back into place.

Andy, Hughesco's representative was very professional and informative. He was able to answer all our questions with a high level of knowledge. The insulation work was done professionally and timely. The workers showed up on time except on one occasion when a scheduling mistake was made. I did have to repatch a couple of the drywall repairs but overall they did a good job. The carpentry work done in the attic was good. We have not gone through a heating season but are looking forward to the savings. This summer we were able to set our AC a couple degrees higher and felt the same comfort level as years past.
Description of Work: Hughsco insulated our home with blown-in cellulose insulation. They did both the exterior walls and attic. They installed plywood in our attic for storage as well, and a drop down stair ladder. They began by given us a home energy audit which showed us how we could best spend our improvement money to get the most benefit. Because our exterior is brick the insulation was done by drilling 2'' holes between each wall stud. They patched the holes and prepared them for painting when completed. They returned to do an after work energy audit to show us the difference. They discovered the house was now too air tight and adjusted makeup air to correct the problem.

Hughesco did a horrible job. They showed up with the wrong items, and it took them awhile to come back with the right windows. Then, they drilled holes in our siding to blow in the insulation. They said they would replace the siding there, but they just plugged the holes.

More should have been done by Green Homes. I felt that details were overlooked and the job wasn't done to how it should have been. I probably wouldn't hire them again after speaking with other contractors regarding the job Green Homes did.
