A year ago, I had several companies come out to help…read morefix the extreme cold happening on the 1st floor of our 1929 built brick and concrete structure home. I was a bit frustrated because they were offering cookie cutter solutions/services without really identifying the issue(s) causing the extreme cold. I called Dr Energy Service (DES) and was fortunate to have the owner, Chris Shepard come out and provide an energy audit. As you can imagine with the age of our home, he discovered there is no insulation in the walls, ceilings of the 1st floor and to make matters worse, our furnace is located in the attic, which means the solution must push heat down to the lower level! This is a unique situation which called for unconventional solutions. Chris listened, educated , and offered budget friendly options, including those that did NOT use their services. He was a man of integrity, patience, and knowledge. We were very cold, and he could have taken advantage of the situation and sold us all kinds of services; but he didn't! That spoke volumes and this year I called him back and together we determined a plan of action to warm our home. On 12/31, the crew (Jordan, Tyler, Cameron, Brayden, and Jake) came out to perform the work. The guys were punctual (8:15am), professional, courteous, and worked non stop the get the work completed in a timely manner. They kept me in the loop of the work planned and a few minor changes to the plan, that often come with an older home. They cleaned up, actually left things cleaner than when they started (Don't judge me lol) I am extremely happy and I highly recommend DES and hopefully when you book your project(s), you will be lucky to have the awesome crew I had at your home.

We hired this company last year to insulate our home. 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.

Throughout the years, when we have had issues with our roof, they have always been very responsive to inspect and if necessary, replace shingles with only cost of the replacement shingles, no labor. We are currently working with them to replace our roof again and they are great at communicating the process and answering questions. I highly recommend Solid Rock to anyone needing a new roof.

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. As all 3 AI engines suggested, Get Multiple Quotes: Contact 2-3 local contractors for competitive bids.

As we passed 'Villages of Wildwood' apartment complex, I happened to look at my rear view mirror and right on my tail was a black truck towing a trailer that has business sign on the side which read Pete's Insulation 513-766-2724 Trailer Plate TRC 8593 being driven in a very threatening manner and the driver started honking and making hand jestures. This went on until we stopped at a red light at intersection of Ross Rd and Rt4. Driver then cussed and yelled at me saying speed limit is 35 (totally false). As they drove by, the driver and at least 2 passengers flipped us. Let say, for argument sake, that the speed limit is 35, does this give your driver and crew the right to bully and threaten drivers who, in their minds, don't drive like they do.

It took a little longer to complete the job because there was a problem with their machine that blows the insulation. They had to take the machine about two hours away from Dayton to have it repaired, and the manufacturer had delays of their own. Once it was back up and running, they were back to complete the job. They had to cut a fairly large hole in the bonus room's knee wall to gain access. They contracted a drywall company to come out and fix the wall and it looks just as it did originally. The owner, James, and his certified energy tech, Jeff, came out to use the infrared thermal imaging camera to verify the walls didn't have any voids. Everything looked good and we're looking forward to increased comfort and lower utility bills!
