She verified that is what would happen when she re-confirmed the appointment. I never got any estimate for the knee wall, because he noticed we were not going to agree to cutting holes in the ceiling, roof and siding, in order to do the entire house. "I want to get you on the schedule today." He finally agreed to email(2) separated estimates. One for the knee wall the other for "demolishing our cape." Nothing....hard pressure sales tactics. Moving on.....

We bought our home last December and quickly realized we were in need of insulation. When you buy…read morea new home it takes a while to get to know its quirks, what it needs and set a timeline for improvements. We put insulation at the top of the list. Our oil delivery costs for astronomical. The house didn't retain its temperature so one minute it was warm and the next very cold. The furnace was constantly coming on and off. A huge expense for our family. Once we had the insulation installed along with air sealing around our entire home we were hoping the next winter would go better. So now that it's winter we can say that our furnace does not constantly click on. Our home retains the heat. We set our thermostat at around 66 degrees knowing it will get up to 68 and sometimes 70 if we are cooking. Our oil deliveries have been way less gallons per deliver, we are using less fuel to maintain the heat in our home. Installers were professional. Clive and his team were very considerate of our home, keeping it clean with drop cloths and removing all the old insulation carefully to keep the house from collecting drops of it. It is amazing how they build up walls in the attic with a small space to walk. The air sealing in the basement has been nice because the heat in the finished portion doesn't kick on as much because its not being sucked out of the house. The job was done in one day. It was our first Summer in the house and we had the work done right before that, so I cannot tell you what a previous Summer would have been like but I can only imagine how hard the A/C must have had to work to keep the house cool. And, the cost must have been really high. Our A/C is in the attic so they insulated the duct work to each room as well. Keeping the air traveling in the duct work cool as it traveled from the a/c to the room. Meaning again, it doesn't have to work so hard to keep the house cool. Genius! I will post this on CT Basement Systems too because I think there are more reviews there for the insulation.

This was Dr Energy Saver/BlackDog Builders out of Salem, NH. I recently had all my windows and a…read moreslider replaced through them. The job took about a week and was left a complete disaster. Nails were left everywhere both inside and outside the house. This posed the biggest problem because I asked them to use the magnet sweeper to pick up all the nails, especially outside by the deck and the pool. Instead I paid someone to help remove the nails. Second major issue arose during my first winter with the new windows. Cold air was literally blowing through the trim and causing the curtains to move with the air. I called to report this issue and they removed the trim from 1 window and we could see outside from inside the house. None of the windows had any insulation around it. Fast forward 6 months and having saved 0 on heat, they removed all the trim again and i had to babysit them to ensure they actually put the insulation in. Calling DES in CT did nothing as each of these are independently owned and operated. I never received a call back from them. I had numerous calls into DES of Salem, NH with no calls back. Not only was the project manager non-responsive, but also the receptionist. I felt like a joke to them with the lack of caring and response. I had to google search the owner and reach him through his cell phone and other email address (Black Dog Builders, Salem, NH). He came out to review the installation and only saw a fraction of the problems. He showed barely any interest in the problems and i felt as though i was wasting his precious time. I think whats worse is that I never received an apology from either the local dealer or corporate for the poor job, not covering any furniture (notice the paint mark on my brand new couch). These photos below are just a small example of how terrible the job was. as an FYI, their price was similar to other companies. Ive regretted going through them and hope no one ever has to experience the saddest form of workmanship known to man. I pray this review helps others in choosing a company to replace their windows.

After much trouble, we did not wind up using this company for our insulation…read more Their salesman offered us a service that their installers ultimately refused to perform. Relying on that offer, we undertook expensive and invasive carpentry and electrical work, only to have the installers show up and say no. After negotiation, the salesman and manager produced a new contract including the rejected work. We signed, but they stalled again, saying they still had to get it approved further. Losing confidence, we asked for, and received, our deposit back and had the work done by someone else. Some advice: do not accept their contract as written (something like "install magic silver starlight fairy dust insulation system"). Get it itemized in careful detail, line by line, task by task, material by material.

Claimed to be an approved energize CT contractor and was going to handle reimbursement from energize CT fund from start to finish, to include extend my rebate for reimbursement of $3,000+cost. Paid upfront and Nope, didn't happen. He's not approved as an energize CT contractor. Stopped return phone calls. Now I'm out $3,000. Insulation in exterior walls were not installed to R15 pack as claimed. House is cold. Walls I have insulated personally are warm to touch, walls they supposed filled to R15 are cold from exterior temperature. The exterior holes they make, they don't seal those properly to avoid cold and hot air from entering. I had to do that myself to stop air from entering walls. Do yourself a favor and find another company to do the work. I bought into his nice guy, great business, great reviews bull and now I'm paying the price for it. If I could give Best Home Performance no stars, I would.
