I told the rep that other companies have inspected our home and stated that our walls are suitable for blown in insulation. ARC never came to visit our home - while their competitors did this as a standard account management cycle. Fast forward to this week, I was ready to sign the agreement and pay the deposit - the rep asked me to confirm the 2x4 framing. I asked him how he wanted me to do this - he suggested I drill pilot holes in each wall or pay a 3rd party to do this and that ARC was not responsible for verifying the details of our home. Not responsible for validating a critical project detail before having you customer pay thousands of dollars?! Extremely poor customer service and frankly, a lazy sales team. I am sure the crews doing the work are great, but the accounts team could use a refresh. I will work with a competitor unless ARC has employees willing to visit their prospective customers!

My experience with Green Attic Insulation was a months long headache since the initial install. I was quoted for air sealing the attic, attic insulation, and rim joist spray foam. The quote was very detailed with specific line items for every part. The rebates were also a line item. The first concern was the salesman said I qualify for the Nicor Gas attic insulation rebate, and during this project I found out that I was never eligible because the R-value of the existing insulation was too high. They arrived on the project day and immediately got started. Since they were insulating the rim joist with spray foam they recommended leaving the house during the install to avoid the gasses from the foam curing since I have a dog. I was told by the crew that they would call when they were done (they don't give me their number). So I make sure they have what they need and left at 10am. 5pm passes... 6pm passes... Finally at 8pm I head home because they have to be done by now. Obviously their office is closed this late but I leave messages and such that I was never told it was okay to come back or anything. I inspect the foam and there is plenty of overspray on the finished wood trim, walls, and a little on the carpet. Funny part is that the overspray is on easy to reach sections while the harder/tighter sections were almost perfect. Some fiberglass batt fragments could be seen in the foam even though batt removal and disposal was a line item on the quote and this reduces the insulation of the foam. I ask for the overspray to be removed since I don't want to damage paint while trying to remove it myself. I also ask for pictures of the work in the attic and the results of the pre- and post- door blower test required for the air sealing rebate. Green Attic Insulation took months to actually fulfill the quoted line items. Sent pictures from the original project day months later after Nicor quality control looked at their work and put pressure on them to follow their own quote. Never sent the door blower results. Never even submitted the rebate to Nicor despite it being a line item. The rebate would make them quantity the effectiveness of the air sealing but since they never submitted a rebate and won't show the results there's no way to know how well they did. Nicor found that Green Attic hadn't blown enough insulation into the attic according to the quote's line item but they weren't going to fix that without being called out.

I knew there were areas of the house that were not constructed properly yet having been gaslight so many times, I was confused on what all was defective vs. normal. Big thank you to Mark w/ Domicile, who was my Lead Inspector. Mark carries decades of experience in which I found him to be fair, firm, patient and very educative.

Assured Insulation Solutions, LLC worked on my house on 6/25/21 installing injection foam in the…read moredownstairs walls & a combination of injection foam & blown in cellulose upstairs. In October my painter decided to remove some of the drywall in the kitchen & replace it to provide a better painting surface. The area included the south exterior wall. On 10/16/21 when he removed the drywall he discovered the missing insulation. He called me immediately. I came home, took pics, and sent to Assured's sales rep on 10/16/21. The sales rep came to my house on 10/29 to review. I had intended to have the rest of the downstairs painted with the exception of the bathroom, but with the discovery of the missing insulation in the kitchen I did not trust that any of my exterior walls were insulated wherever injection foam was used. Unfortunately I couldn't even consider addressing the upstairs rooms at that point due to cost. I felt my only option was to have the drywall of all the downstairs walls removed. If they were in the same condition as the kitchen south wall as I expected, I would have to install rolled insulation. The sales rep suggested that the company would make it right. I asked him if they would remove the drywall, install rolled insulation, & redrywall. He said no, the company wouldn't do that. In that case I said I had to move ahead with finding someone to take care of it the right way & I expected to be compensated. After seeing the kitchen wall I would not go through the injection foam process again. It was a freak accident that I even found out that my walls were only partially insulated. If my painter hadn't decided to remove that kitchen drywall I still wouldn't know. To this day I have not received a definitive explanation from the company as to how or why it happened. Since my kitchen cabinets & flooring were installed 10/19-22/21 I could not address the lack of insulation on the east exterior kitchen wall. As far as the rest of the downstairs, my painter started demolition on 11/7/21. As expected the walls were in the same condition as the kitchen wall, pics attached here. He worked a total of 11 days, 8 of which were drywall removal, installing rolled insulation, redrywall/tape/mud/sanding/prep for painting at a total cost of $4700 not including all materials. With all that work completed, I still have part of my downstairs that I think it's safe to say is not insulated correctly--the east wall of the kitchen and the bathroom, approximately 20% of the downstairs exterior. As for the upstairs, I don't know for certain the condition of the walls that had injection foam although I think a reasonable assumption would be that they are in the same condition since installation was done on the same day. The upstairs had already been repaired after Assured's install date, including partial drywall/tape/mud/skim coated, and painted at considerable expense. I cannot afford to tear those walls apart now. I texted an update to Assured's sales rep on 11/15 & e-mailed all the pics on 11/16, three of which are attached here. I received a text asking if I would be available the next week for him & their operations manager to come out. I replied yes. The next week came & went. There was no call from Assured to reschedule. On 12/2 I received an email from their scheduler stating that one of their installers might be able to come out that afternoon & possibly install. Install what? I already had the work done. On 1/17/22 I called the sales rep again. He asked me to resend the pics which I did. On 1/20/22, three months after the problem was originally discovered, Assured's operations manager & I had a call. I said that I expected for the entire $5000 to be refunded. He offered me $2000 stating that I did not give them the opportunity to come & fix it & that they had done a lot of work. How could I possibly have agreed to injection foam again? I never received an alternative non-injection foam option to correct it from the company between 10/16/21-11/7/21. I had to rectify the situation myself. I am still left with 20% of the downstairs as well as the injection foam portion of the upstairs that is not properly insulated. Whatever the reason that the material failed, it did fail. I think it's only fair to be compensated for the full amount that I paid. That has not happened.
