The 2026 Home Energy Upgrade Initiative…read more Inquiries were made to Keeney in Neenah regarding the attic insulation upgrade for a 1954 ranch-style brick home located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the attic lacked adequate insulation, with only 2-3 inches of deteriorated insulation present. Additionally, the entire attic, ceiling, and chimney required vapor sealing and the removal of old insulation. To ensure optimal sealing of the home, the basement exterior rim joist should also be foam sealed. Prioritize Energy Testing: Conducted both before and after the re-insulation of the home. The purpose of this test is to identify the existing insulation characteristics of the home and compare them to those after re-insulation. Insulation Team: Tyler, Nick, and Trevor - all highly skilled and professional individuals who consistently provided us with updates throughout the entire process. The attic upgrade process involves several steps: 1. Removal of old insulation. 2. Chimney wrapping and proper ventilation of the bathroom vent fan. 3. Covering the pod ceiling light and adding vent panels for the eaves. 4. Sealing the entire attic and ceiling with spray foam. 5. Spraying in 17 inches of cellulose insulation (fire retardant, pest retardant, higher R-value, and 100% recycled). 6. Construction of a new attic access cover with insulation. Basement Rim Joist Sealing: The entire basement rim joist was sealed with foam. Prior to this work, we had capped the concrete block basement wall tops with rigid foam and caulked in 2022. Current Residence: Acquired in 2022, necessitating extensive maintenance. Previous Energy Upgrades: 1. In 2022, the furnace and ducting were replaced. 2. In 2022 and 2025, the 1954 windows were replaced. 3. In 2026, the outdated air conditioning system was replaced with a Bryant VAN 290 Heat Pump. Why Choose a Heat Pump: Prioritize Energy Efficiency Conclusion: 1. Keeney's sales process was entirely transparent. 2. The initial energy testing revealed that our home requires upgrades. 3. Scheduling was flexible and accommodated our timeframe. 4. The work was completed as expected and met our expectations. 5. The final focus on energy testing is pending. That concludes our conversation for the time being, Donna and Dave.

I had my attic reinsulated about a week ago and can definitely tell the difference. My experience…read morewith Keeney Home Services was painless. Damean, Hunter and Noah arrived on time, made sure their travel path to and from my attic was sufficiently protected, and they then went about their business expeditiously. Damean kept me informed on duties for each day and invited questions, which he answered readily. My next project with them is gutter replacement, and I expect to have the same quality experience.

Brett Meuret came to my home today to take care of a clogged shower drain. Brett arrived on time,…read moregreeted me in a polite, pleasant , professional manner. We discussed the problem and Brett got right to work. Brett helped me with the ceiling tiles in the basement that had been damaged when the shower overflowed onto the floor and leaked down into the basement. Then he went to the shower and power rodded the drain and discovered a giant wad of hair that had been obstructing the drain. He made sure that the drain was free flowing and then cleaned everything up so it was all neat and tidy. Brett was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a thorough manner. I would happily recommend Brett and Black-Haak Heating and Plumbing for any work of that nature that you need to have done. Everyone at Black-Haak is friendly, professional and they get the job done in a timely and efficient manner.

I had Black-Haak cut down my radiator, and upon a more detailed inspection after they left, Brennan…read morethe tech did not cut the radiator symmetrically under the window. Now I am unable to install my new cabinetry. When I asked Eric at Black-HAAK to come out and fix it, he initially quoted me at $250 to come fix their mistake. When I asked about this, he had to do an "investigation", then came back to me and said he would only charge me $100. To fix their mistake! The crazy thing is, I was about to move forward with $2000+ of work with them. Because of this, I very reasonably asked if they could waive the fee since it was their mistake they were fixing. They then began to ignore me! Completely unprofessional company that does not stand by the quality of their work.

I paid him $2058 on 12/2/2020 when all that was done was the 2x4 frame work on porch. He said he would have to come back the next day with a blow torn as the roof already had snow on it. He never showed. Once the snow started falling consistently, I knew the project wouldn't get completed until spring. Once it started to get warmer and there was no longer snow on the roof, I contacted him and he still didn't show. Then it started to rain and water started to leak into the house. I contacted him again and he said he would be by the next week. He never showed all week despite my constant calling. I then had no choice but to contact another contractor to patch the roof. That cost me another $1100 on top of what I paid him. At this point I asked for a refund and he kept putting that off. We spoke on the phone and I told him I would be taking him to small claims court which he then replied "you do whatever you need to". He continually cut me off, when I called him a liar and con man he told me he was recording me. After I continued to try to schedule a time for refund he just hung up on me. I'm a single mom and he saw easy prey. I just want my money back!

So far they've been great for us. The most recent example was today. I had spent the entire morning trying to get our sump pump to work, and had tried everything to thaw the pipes.

The person I spoke with was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and had someone sent out same day to take a look. I believe his name was John and he was excellent. Super friendly and knew his stuff for sure.
