Shane is knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions. He provided his…read morereport when he said he would and returned our calls in a timely manner. We were able to use his detailed report to guide our negotiation with the seller which made the transaction easier to complete. His use of the thermal imaging was worth the price paid as it helped us discover and negotiate a resolve for an issue the seller wasn't even aware of! I would use Shane again and recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in New Jersey.

I don't have enough good things to say about Shane! Our realtor recommended him. First off you…read moremight notice if you speak to them at the office or read up on the company that Shane is the only inspector, this is not a corporate business - this means savings! Shane beat the prices of the two other inspectors I requested quotes from and I was even able to get the infrared imaging to check the walls for moisture and whatnot. The inspection itself was super thorough, the inspection report was also very detailed and you can see a sample report on his website of what you will be getting from him. You can even create a list of items using the website the report is on and it is very easy to do, which you can send to the seller to request to be fixed before you agree on the price. We ended up saving a lot of time and money by sending this list over to the seller. Shane really looked into every crevice of the home, and by walking around with him he gave us some very good advice about what will cost a lot to fix and should be done professionally, and what we could probably do ourselves very cheaply. He also gave us some information in general that would be nice to know about your new home, such as pointing out where the electrical panels and water shutoff valves are. We even got a little book at the end about being a home-owner and things you should know when you own a home. We had actually been able to view two inspection reports on the same home from previous buyers that fell through, and Shane's inspection report caught a lot more things than the other two reports. If for some reason we ever need an inspector in the future we know we will call Shane first.

Need to tell you all about this company. (Note I don't write many reviews.. but need to share…read morethis.) My project was a Sandy Storm recovery. Todd (the owner) quoted insulation and "Air Sealing" for my home as part of the NJ energy savings program. When the numbers were crunched I ended up paying almost twice the the other insulation estimates I got BUT for an infinitely higher quality product (better insulation in the walls, sprayed cellulose and venting in the attic, foam sealing of all cracks) that will return energy savings benefits for years after the rebate was applied. Based on my calculations I will get a return for the additional cost in the first two or three years (and every other year will be additional savings!!) Their expertise is not just in Insulation and Energy Savings but in all things HVAC and general renovation. My previous GC turned out to be a shyster and Todd made himself available to help with multiple critical tasks delivering high quality in a timely and fair and friendly fashion. I recommend this company highly without hesitation and am available as contactable reference if anyone has questions.

I had also asked him to provide estimates for each item for improvement listed in order of which should be done first. Casey responded timely to each of my communications. He showed up when he said he would. He kept me posted on the progress of each of the projects. And he did what he said he was going to do. I found his pricing to be reasonable and fair. He even repaired something that was not part of his job. He was respectful of us, our house, and timing constraints. He left the house as he found it. He took the time needed to explain what needed to be done, why, and what impact it may have. He brought the house up to current code. I would trust Casey with any future job and highly recommend him.

This is a second review for Alligood Energy. On my first review (about a year ago), I had…read moreinsulation blown into my ceiling. I saw a big difference in the warmth of my second floor, but my rooms were still drafty. Mainly because the walls needed to be insulated as well. Really getting tried of a cold drafty house, I decided to bite the bullet and give Alligood Energy another call. Andrew answered! He saw that I was a repeat customer and remembered me and my home. He didn't have to come back a second time to give me a price and honored the quote he gave from last year and even gave me a discount for being a repeat customer! We made a date for the installation into the walls. The problem with having this project done in the winter is contingent on the weather. The temperature has to be above freezing so the foam insulation can flow. This particular day we were good to go and something happened to their equipment and unfortunately the work had to be postponed. I was real disappointed because we had moved furniture and had to clear out any closets that was connected to an outside wall. Andrew was great! He sincerely apologized, put me as a top priority (making sure I was first on his list when the equipment got fixed) and gave me and additional discount for my inconvenience! He called in a few days to let me know everything was fixed. They came out the next day first thing in the morning. They laid down plastic over all my furniture. Moved anything that still needed to be moved. Like I referenced in my first review, they had to put nickel size holes in all the walls that were getting the insulation blown in. They were all moving ( 4 men) like a well oiled machine. It took exactly 3 hours for them to finish my 3 bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen walls. Even moved and got behind my dishwasher. They went back and plastered all the holes that they made. They also took up all the plastic and cleaned up after themselves. Now we just have to paint :( My home is much warmer now and hopefully more cool in the summer with the air conditioner. I highly recommend this company because their prices are fair, they are respectful of your home, they communicate well with their customers and are friendly and very professional.

This was the first estimate I ever paid for but it saved us thousands. We had Alligood do an…read moreassessment in order to quote us a price to insulate and spray foam a 1960s house. What we got from the estimate was a thorough review (including a thermal imager) of our house and a lot of pointers where we could make cheap improvements (such as sealing cinder block in the basement). He also noted that many of our main and lower level walls were too thin to really make spray foam air sealing worthwhile (and that many weren't losing much heat at all). In the end, we insulated our attic and air sealed the upstairs walls at a much lower price. The job was done well, and the difference in temperature was day and night. There were a lot of holes to patch (and the patch work they did left some to be desired) but it was worth it. The only reason for knocking a star off was the work was subcontracted, with nobody telling us up front that would be the case. I would just prefer to know if the guys selling the product are with the same company doing the work.
