    The workers for AttiCity are not employees of the company but subcontract workers. David hires them for each job. Their schedule could vary since they apparently are working for other companies in addition to AttiCity. The workers' large truck to transport equipment and insulation is older and not professional looking but is functional. My requirement was to remove blown insulation from the attic and old batt insulation from under the floor by entering a tight crawlspace access. Rodent droppings were in both locations. A termite inspection occurred after I was informed by David the insulation in the crawlspace was removed. The termite inspector informed me that old batt insulation was still in place in a corner of the house that was challenging to access due to A/C ducting impeding access. If the termite inspection was not performed I may have never known the old batt insulation was not removed and new insulation was installed. The remaining old insulation was removed and new insulation installed. David was not on the job site when the work was completed. He did visit when it was time for payment. The rat droppings from the attic and crawlspace were cleaned up and supposedly all access by rats was addressed to alleviate a future problem. However, rats did access the house again and droppings were in the attic. I made 3 requests to David to have his crew return to vacuum the rat droppings in the attic and he told me this would occur but never did. The crew are independent workers and thus not captive to AttiCity. I assumed the time and expense of returning was their responsibility and not AttiCity and is why they never showed up. And David's follow up was below professional expectations. Unfortunately, I would not recommend AttiCity based on my experience.

    Updated review: the owner David came and apologize. I think they do very care their customer service. He went into the attic and take care of everything, making sure and took many photos to assure me everything is good now. I do appreciate this. I hired them after reading yelp reviews and I really do not like the experience at all. Be alert yelpers! They broke my attic ceilings and hired a handy man just do some cosmetic job and no bother go to the attic to check whether they broke my attic drywall or not.

    Beyond easy experience with Chris. My dryer suddenly started giving off a burning smell, which I…read moremistakenly attributed to the lint catch being overloaded. But even after cleaning it out, the smell wasn't going away. Then the vent started giving off either smoke or steam, and in a panic I immediately turned off the dryer. Thank God I didn't start a dryer fire. The second I shut it off and made sure everything was ok, I opened Yelp and searched for a dryer vent cleaner. Chris's Insulation came up, he had great ratings, he was super close by, so after calling a different service and going to voicemail, I called Chris. Chris picked up after the second ring. When I told him that I needed someone to clean our dryer vent and what had happened, he said he could come out either between 5:00 and 6:00 pm that evening or the next day. It was already mid-afternoon when I called, so I was surprised to hear him say he could still come out same-day, but I decided to have him do that since I was free and also still a little shaky following what happened with the vent either smoking or steaming. Chris showed up during the window he quoted and wasted no time getting to work. He started the second he arrived and was done within the hour. His pricing was incredibly reasonable and fair and so far, in the couple of weeks since he was here, we've had no issues with the dryer. Before he left, he also sent us a ton of pictures of what the vent looked like post-cleaning. Super happy and relieved.

The space looked completely refreshed afterward! About a month later, I had them come back to add new insulation and handle the air sealing. Same experience -- fast, solid workmanship, and a very reasonable price. Overall, really smooth process and great results. I'd definitely recommend Chris's Insulation Services!

    I recently had a Mitsubishi heat pump system installed along with full air duct replacement by…read moreElement Home Solutions, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, the estimate process was smooth, clear, and professional. They took the time to explain my options and helped me choose the right Mitsubishi system for my home without any pressure. The installation itself was efficient and well-organized. The crew showed up on time, kept everything clean, and completed both the heat pump install and duct replacement with great attention to detail. You can tell they really know what they're doing. What really stood out was how seamless the whole process was--from the initial estimate all the way through permits and final inspection. Everything was handled properly, and I didn't have to stress about any part of it. Overall, a very professional and reliable team. I highly recommend Element Home Solutions if you're considering a heat pump or ductwork upgrade.

    This spring, our other furnace was shut off by PG&E for leaking carbon monoxide. I contacted…read moreElement to replace this and initially did not intend to get any other quotes. Ernest came and was again very thorough, but we did not use Element again due to: 1. Inflexibility about using our existing floor air intake. This is a large 3-ft opening in our living room floor, but Ernest wanted to make another large opening on the other side of the living room. Aesthetically this is terrible in a historic home and I pointed out that this would lower the value of my property. We had in-depth discussions about dimensions of ducts, locations of vents, etc., but ultimately Ernest was not able to commit to an alternative plan and I was not willing to sign a contract without knowing what the end result would be. 2. Pricing increased a lot for a similar job only about a year apart. Due to Issue 1, I sought out 2 additional quotes, which were about $10K less than Element ($32K). Both installers did not have any issues with keeping the air intake where it was. Had Element been only $5K higher than competitors and kept my air intake location, I would have gladly gone with them again, but 50% more is a big price difference.

There was an active rat infestation in one of the attics and they acted quickly - cleaned and sanitized all spaces where rodent activity was found, pulled out all the appliances and cleaned, cleaned the duct work, and did a very thorough walkthrough of the home to find and close entry points (and there were a lot of entry points, sigh). Everyone I have worked with have all been professional, friendly, and knowledgeable - especially Jorge Hernandez, Allan Pablo, Armando, Tom Best. The job is so incredibly thorough and they are on top of the follow up maintenance. I am very happy I went through this company to get this house cleaned up.

Wesley suggest someone named Neo that works with him. I texted Neo and we selected a date and Neo choose 9AM as my schedule was open for the day. On the day of the appointment; 9AM came and went. I texted Neo to ask if I had the date wrong and did not receive a response for over 30 minutes. When he did respond; he stated that he would be at my home if 15 minutes. I texted back that I was not at home. As I was pulling into my driveway, I saw a truck loaded with work materials pull up and stop across my driveway. I got out of the car and came into the house. Once inside, I did a quick task and went back to the front door to close and lock all the doors. As I Iooked outside, I saw the same truck parked across the street. The guy got out of the truck, walked up my stairs and rung my door bell. I do not know if he was drunk or high but there he was. His excuse was that he has something happen with his child. He insisted on coming in and taking a look. I declined. He insisted several times. I told him to get off my property and that I would be calling the office to let them know what had happened. I did call their office and let the receptionist know what had happened. She apologized. I tried to call Wesley to talk to him and left a voicemail. I never received any response. As a Black Women that has lived in Oakland for a long time...... I would not recommend this business to anyone especially women. As a good client, you should be heard and respected always!

There has been this persistent smell of rodent urine in one of our closets for literally decades, no matter what we have done. Not any more! I could not recommend Rywen Insulation more highly for rodent control work. We've had rodent control people here before, but never at the level that Rywen takes things to. They put in place genuine long-term preventative measures to keep rats and mice out, not just patching holes. And that has made all the difference. No more smell in our under-the-stairs closet! And, I'm not sure if it is always a part of their service, but they offered us a one-year warranty. Rats and mice did return --- probably due to a contractor leaving our crawlspace door open overnight with the lights on, several times (oops). But Rywen took care of the problem immediately, no questions asked and no additional money requested, for the entire year of the warranty. They aren't cheap. But they are soooo worth it.

I would say, they did an excellent job - Starting with Jeremy, who accommodated my schedule for preliminary inspect and gave me a on the spot quote. Elder and the guys did an excellent job in covering up the entire house and finished the job in 2 days. My house had no insulation in the walls- to very less in the attic. After the insulation my Heat as well as Cold is retained inside the house. Heat turns on once in a 24 Hr cycle vs multiple times in an hour previously. If you are thinking of in wall insulation, it's totally worth it. The quote was the most competitive and they were very flexible. I am still closing out the multiple holes in the wall, will take time as i prefer to do it myself- I had plans to paint anyway .

    I was initially impressed with what seemed like a thorough and well-considered estimate. It felt…read morelike the team really evaluated my attic and cooling needs. The addition of two QuietCool fans also seemed like a major plus, as I was already familiar with the product and expected it would significantly help with cooling. When it came to the insulation work, I was very pleased. The crew did an excellent job removing the old insulation and installing the new. They worked efficiently, protected my floors well, and ensured that no insulation debris entered the living areas. That part of the job was handled professionally. However, I was less impressed with the radiant barrier installation. This may partly be due to a misunderstanding on my end, as I expected a different type of material, but the end result did not meet my expectations. The biggest issue, unfortunately, was the installation of the fans. At best, it was very poorly executed. The fans are 16" units with 12" duct openings, yet they were installed directly against the gables, which severely restricts airflow. Proper installation should have included a box or shroud to help direct airflow effectively through the fans. Because of this poor airflow, the fans do not cool the attic--in fact, they appear to make things worse. I can actually watch the temperature on the thermostat increase when the fans are turned on. I reached out to my representative multiple times, but the response was disappointing. I was told they could not take the fans back, and when I asked why the attic temperature increases when they are running, I was told there was no explanation and nothing further could be done. As temperatures continue to rise, I'm left frustrated that I spent $1,200 on two fans that perform the opposite of what was promised, with no meaningful support or resolution offered. UPDATE: After posting my initial review, I was contacted by both the project manager and the owner. I reiterated the reasons for my frustration, explaining that my review reflected my honest impression of what I saw as a lack of clear communication and effective management of the project and customer expectations. The project manager apologized for the communication breakdown and asked if I would be open to giving them an opportunity to make things right. A technician was then sent out, and he took the time to fully understand the issue, carefully examine the installation, and make several adjustments to the original work. He believes these changes will help improve airflow in the attic. Since my attic has some unique characteristics, he also provided helpful suggestions for additional ways to improve cooling and airflow--something I feel should have been addressed during the initial planning stage of the project. Whether these changes will result in significant improvement remains to be seen; I'll have a better sense once the weather warms up. I do appreciate the follow-up and the willingness of the project manager to reach out and try to make things right, and I have updated my review accordingly. That said, I want to be clear that the increase in my rating is largely due to the technician and the time he invested in evaluating the full situation, as well as both implementing and proposing thoughtful solutions.

The estimator's in-person presentation was very good -- professional, clear, and well organized. The overall process was explained pretty well however I needed more info after he left. The one key issue for me was the R-rating and since R-value is a major factor in comparing insulation options, I wanted to understand exactly what was being installed. I tried to follow up with the estimator to get clarification and asked for a call back. While multiple emails were exchanged from what seemed to be the corporate end, there was no actual human interaction, and my request for the estimator to call back failed. Because of that lack of follow-through, I ultimately decided to go with another vendor who was more responsive. AttiCare made a good first impression, but communication after the initial visit failed. I wouldn't proceed without speaking to the estimator. They lost a job due to that.
