We had Houle Insulation out to assess our attic's needs. We had insulation blown in 30+years ago…read morewhen we bought but then just forgot about it. The owner came out, inspected, explained in detail what we needed and gave us a quote. He also offered that Xcel was offering a rebate for some of the work we needed down and they would file all the paperwork for it. He was on time, personable and professional and the bid was reasonable and fair. We had the work done and the crew that did the work was on time, efficient, did an excellent clean up after the work was done. They did file the rebate and we received it in the time Xcel said it would take to receive it. It's rare these days to find a business that is honest, timely and fair with respectful crews but Houle Insulation was all of that and more. I would HIGHLY recommend them and in all honesty I am a hard to please customer because I won't "settle" for less than I expect. These guys are good. Because they are good they are busy so just know it may take a little longer to get scheduled but the wait is worth it! We have noticed a huge difference this winter. Heating bills are down and the house feels warmer.

I cannot speak highly enough of Houle Insulation. Today Todd from Houle came by my house, after…read moreinspecting the attic he told me that the insulation I already had was sufficient and installed properly. He said that he wouldn't take my money just to add to or replace what was already there. I was shocked, because another company had quoted me over $3800 recently without ever bothering to tell me I didn't need it. Even though I didn't hire Houle to complete any job, I happily give them 5 stars for integrity. I will be recommending them to anyone I know looking for insulation work.

I recently hired Abra Kadabra recently to help us get rid of a wasp nest from our backyard and I'm…read morethrilled to report the wasps are still gone and I would absolutely hire AK again. I used the "Projects" feature in Yelp to get a few bids and AK was competitive. When I scheduled the appointment to have someone come to the house, they got me on the books for the next day. My wasp problem wasn't an emergency situation, but it was great to know they could come out fast if needed. The specialist they sent out was great and he explained what he was going to do and what the expected outcome was. Within 30 minutes, he'd finished up and was gone. I hope I don't need them again, but I'd hire AK again if ever there's another pest issue!

Excellent experience. Felt like a fair price. Insulation in the attic went well. Even got a…read morerebate from Centerpoint, and Koala did all the paperwork! Owner would always answer my calls on the second ring.

We hired Koala after getting estimates from a few different insulation folks around the cities;…read morethey were great to work with & had the best pricing! Their booking system was super easy, we requested a quote online & then were able to schedule via email; once we had our quote emailed to us, we could accept it via a link & set up a time for the actual install. We were lucky to squeak in on a cancellation, so we actually got our appointment set up really quickly. The team who came out are super friendly & efficient, it was nice to see that they even put drop cloths around to make sure our floors stayed semi-clean while they came in & out. With this drafty old house (1907!), we're really looking forward to seeing an improvement in our energy bills! We would absolutely recommend working with this company.

I wanted to add more insulation in my attic. Two years ago I had added more insulation but it was…read morenot enough to stop ice dams in the spring.

Very poor service Had someone come over to measure my attic…read moreand get an estimate for some insulation. Guy that showed up was in a bad mood and kept complaining about his thermal camera app not working. Weeks later I was still waiting for an estimate to be emailed. Received a call from this company asking me if I wanted to get going on the project. I informed him that I never even received an estimate. He apologized and informed me that the guy at my house no longer works for them. So we set up a new appointment to get an estimate. The 2nd appt I was contacted 20min beforehand by Ryan letting me know that he is 90min away and won't be coming out because it is a waste of his time and his $50 in gas and it would be bad for the planet with his xtra emissions. So here I am 2 months later with no estimate and 2 failed attempts. I attached a photo of the voicemail I received just before my appointment for all of you reading this thinking, it can't really be this bad can it?
