I got a quote from them in 2019. My granddaughter was diagnosed with cancer shortly after this,…read morethen Covid hit so insulation priorities weren't so important. I finally requested a new quote this spring. The exact same job I was quoted in 2019 was almost 3X higher! That's 3X in six years! Original quote was $1800 in Feb 2019, new quote was $5300 for the exact same thing. So I did some research to see if I was over reacting. I reached out to ChatGPT to see if labor and material costs had increased enough to justify the new price. It said no way! No, the $5,300 quote is not fair. If: The scope hasn't changed The spray foam type and thickness are the same They never came out to remeasure The original 2019 quote was $1,800 Then jumping to $5,300 (an almost 300% increase of the original cost) is well beyond reasonable, even accounting for: 45% material increases 20-30% labor cost hikes Higher fuel and insurance costs What Would Be Fair? Using the 2019 price as a base: Factor Estimate Increase Adjusted Price Materials (open-cell) ~45% ~$2,610 Labor/overhead/fuel/etc. ~30% ~$3,400 max A reasonable 2025 price: $2,800-$3,400 Not $5,300. So I checked Gemini and Grok AI engines to make sure I covered all bases. They confirmed that the the price increase was unjustified. Grok said: The nearly 300% increase exceeds general inflation (~20-30% from 2019-2025) and construction cost trends (~40-50% per Turner Building Cost Index). Insulation-specific increases (50-100%) suggest a $1,800 job in 2019 should cost $2,700-$3,600 in 2025. Gemini said: a near 300% increase (from $1,800 to $5,300) in 6 years is at the very high end of what might be considered justifiable given the market conditions. Increases of 50-100% (or even up to 150%) for some materials and services over that period have been seen, but 300% is extreme. Given the ridiculous price increase, I would be very leery of using them based on their pricing model.

I would recommend them to work with.

They did a full attic tune up, installed…read moretheir polyshield everywhere, and did a number of non-insulation things to cut our bills, like lowering the temp on our water-heater, which wasn't appreciated. I'm seeing what a waste of money it was now because our house is still leaking heat, creating huge icicles all over and water damns that are leaking through the walls, the we're still the first on the street to have all the snow melted off our roof. It's exactly what I was seeing last year that led me to hire them. I feel like we were hoodwinked.

The installers built 2 inch foam boxes to cover each can light, and were very efficient to get our attic and great room covered with the energy barrier.

Our third floor had been finished but not insulated, resulting in some very steep energy bills in the summer and winter, not to mention many sweaty/frigid days. Lewis was very patient with me as I explored my options, made some very helpful recommendations for other projects around the house, and provided the most reasonable price. He provided plenty of details about what his team would do without being overwhelming, and answered all questions I had. The team was in and out in less than a day, with very minimal modifications made (just a few access holes cut out), and were very professional in their work. Just with adding insulation on the 3rd floor, the entire house feels much more regulated temperature-wise, and I'm sure the energy bills will reflect the upgrades very soon. I will certainly be reaching out to them again for future insulation and energy-saving projects.

My house was built in the 1950's and the insulation in the attic must have been the original. It was barely there. This company came in and did an assessment that was both thorough and quick. I was walked through everything that was recommended and was sent a quote via e-mail. The company does give you a discount if you sign the estimate within 10 days. I knew this project was desperately needed, so I signed immediately since the price was great. I have had several companies come into my home a few years ago with quotes that were significantly higher than what I was quoted by Sustainergy in October 2021. On install day, there were 2 workers who came in and worked very quickly to get the job done. They asked permission before completing a lot of the tasks (like opening a window, etc.). Very appreciative of the service! Both worked at my two separate attic entrances quite effectively and about half way through mentioned that my bathroom ventilation was damaged. They were able to call in and add it to my invoice and repair it right away! Loved that! They had protective barriers laid out to protect the floors. However, there was a bit of a dust layer left over on all my furniture after they left (to be expected), but it cleaned up easily with the vacuum and soap/water. As of December 13, 2021, over a month since the install - my house has definitely retained the heat and my furnace does not run nearly as much! My November bill was $60 less than it was last year! Thank you!!! Highly recommend!

So someone else came out a couple of days later, didn't have a truck, so they had to plug into the 30 amp plug for my AC. Two months later,, my AC wasn't working because someone pushed the outside unit away from the house, breaking the coolant pipe. It is possible they didn't break it, but nobody else worked around that. Next year I installed a sensor light by the back door, and found zero insulation in that section. So, I randomly walked around my house drilling 1 inch holes in walls(around 8), in which half had no insulation. I called them to fill those voids, and they sent out a crew. The crew showed up on the wrong day. The lead seemed angry, but filled in the 4 empty sections. Oh yeah, he refused to use the plug by the AC (I wonder why) and shoved the plug into the socket for my stove so hard it pulled the box out of the wall. They did not put the siding back they'd pulled away to fill the wall space. I added an outlet to the front of the house and found that section had no insulation. I remodeled my bathroom and found 2 out of 4 sections had no insulation. I didn't bother asking them to fix it because of the previous bad experiences. I feel like it was a total waste of money and warn homeowners to follow the installers around to make sure you don't get scammed.
