Our home was built in the mid 1960's. Access to attic was limited and the firm overcame any problems. They arrived within 15 minutes of the time stated. (even with an accident on I35). The workers were professional and left the property clean as it was when they arrived.
Description of Work: Surveyed the insulation in attic and recommended the amount needed to obtain a R38 rate. Then an estimate was presented to solve the problem and included 2 alternatives and we selected the one for us.

After purchasing a previously owned home built in 2003, we discovered dramatic temperature variances in different parts of the house. The house is 2-story with several first floor projections extending out from under the upper floor including the entire master suite. When we hired an electrician to add can lights in the master bedroom, he had to cut an access in the master closet to access the crawl space over the master suite. He told us there was no blow-in insulation in that area. Terry Taylor of Enerchek spent several hours reviewing our problems at no charge. Apparently insulation was not installed in all of those critical attic spaces including over the entire master suite, because they were closed off during construction. Terry advised us to contact the original builder to see whether he and/or his subcontractor would assist in correcting the glaring design/construction deficiency to protect their reputations. After several unresponsive attempts to allow them to review the problem on site, we hired Enerchek to solve our problems. Terry was very professional and thorough. His crew was polite, friendly and worked hard to solve problems left by the original builder and his subcontractor. We not only solved the original problems, but performed some upgrades in other areas as well. The interior house temperatures are now equalized throughout and we are looking forward to lower heating & cooling bills! Thank you, Terry!

Terry came over to my house and helped me determine that it would not be cost effective to add insulation to what I already have. It was an unusual experience of honorable and selfless service.
Description of Work: Terry did not install any insulation.

did not do the work, but will certainly call them if my cooling/ heating system need work.
Description of Work: I called to get an estimate to have a radiant barrier and extra insulation added to my attic space. After my conversation with terry, i decided i may not need the work done. It's the 1st time someone actually said it would not be that cost effective to do the job. He suggested saving up to replace the heating/cooling system which is older.

They worked one full day with two workers. They had their routine down to a science and completed their work as quickly as possible, and covered up the floor area where they were working in order to lessen the clean-up afterward. Mr. Taylor inspected the job and workers in two different occasions during the day and was the last one to leave. He inspected the job and made sure everything was done properly.
Description of Work: We knew that we needed extra insulation because we knew that our home had very little insulation in the attic. The home's temperature fluctuated widely during the day and night. Our new HAVC unit came on and off continuously. Mr. Taylor came out right after we called. After a very complete examination of our house and attic, he confirmed that we needed much more insulation. We only had about an R8 and we needed an R38-49. Terry also found several places in our ductwork and inside unit that were leaking air. There were openings to the exterior in the attic that were allowing bugs in, as well. He gave us an written estimate of $2,200 to complete all the insulation and repairs. We obtained another estimate from insulation company- also from Angie's List. This company was very slow to return our call to make an appointment. When they did come, the inspection of the house was minimal at best, avoiding actually getting fully into the attic. They did not find any of the major insulation issues that ENERCHEK INSULATION had found. When they did supply us with a bid, it was only verbally over the phone. The other insulation company quoted a lower price but we decided to go with ENERCHEK because they had showed a more complete examination of our home to solve our insulation problems, and they worked and explained much more professionally.

After doing some work in our attic, we suspected our insulation might be low. After getting an estimate for $1,100 from another company to bring our insulation up to par, Terry came to our home and explained that we didn't really need any additional insulation! He said some of our insulation had been compacted by foot traffic in our attic, but it was exactly as it should be. He took photos and showed how our attic looked in different areas, and explained how R-values were calculated. He said adding insulation was not going produce any significant energy savings, as the existing insulation was already at R-30. Terry is very honest and helpful, and I would highly recommend getting his opinion before you invest in insulation for your home. He saved me from making an $1,100 mistake!
Description of Work: Terry came to my house to give an estimate on bringing our attic insulation up to par. He took photos of my attic to show me, explained how insulation is measured and described the effectiveness of various levels of insulation.

Terry gave me so much of his time and information, helping me as a do-it-yourself to get the siding in decent shape for the insulation work, and giving me advice on how to repair the unavoidable plugged holes that you end up with after the insulation is added. He and his team are very thoughtful, very thorough, and very professional, and I feel lucky to have found them. My house has no central heat, and now even though I come home to a cold house in Texas Januarys, I can NOW heat it up with just a couple of space heaters, rather than constantly freezing my butt off. Yay!
Description of Work: Terry and his team added insulation (sprayed cellulose) into the exterior walls of my old house for a very reasonable amount a couple of months ago, as there was no insulation when the house was originally built in the 40s. They worked from the outside, so there was very little mess to deal with, and they did a great job.
