Just had S&E Insulation come out and insulate our home, based on the Focus on Energy recommendations. They insulated the walls and attic and so much more. The house already feels less drafty and we haven't even gotten to winter. The crew was very friendly, explained what they were going to do and then what they did do, when finished, and they cleaned up inside and out. They made sure we got all of the credits that this work would qualify for. This is the second time we have used them. First time was to insulate and "sound proof" the basement man-cave from the upstairs. They did what they promised then and they delivered again! Another successful job and happy customer. Thanks to Jordan and the crew! Garrett B. Wauwatosa, WI. read more

Jordan, Sheila and the entire team at Allrite/S&E Insulation were great. Jordan met with us, discussed our needs, gave us options and suggestions...and the FOLLOWED THROUGH ON EVERYTHING! Sheila handled all the scheduling and co-ordinated Focus On Energy appointments and confirmed all dates and times. The crew that came to our home was friendly, knowlegable and very helpful. They did a great job and left our home cleaner than when they had arrived. The very first night our home was very noticeably warmer and less drafty. I recommend ALLRITE and S&E Insulation very highly. read more

We cannot stress enough to avoid this company. We were interested in the"focus on energy" program, which their sales person stressed was tied to an instant rebate based on comparing our homes energy efficiency before the audit and then after the work was done. Our audit recommended many things we could improve to increase our homes energy efficiency. We were relying on S&E to insulate the outside walls and we were taking care of the other suggestions,all the while believing we would get a greater rebate based on our homes improvement in energy efficiency. We replaced old appliances, had a new exhaust fan over the stove installed, had a bathroom exhaust fan installed, replaced the basement windows with glass block, replaced all of the our existing windows as well. We did some minor things too like put in pre-cut insulation for the outlets and switch plates. When the day came for the insulation their crew damaged our 2nd floor electrical and since they did no walk through it was not discovered until late in the day as we prepared to leave on vacation. Huge hassle.They had an electrician come out and fix the problem, took 3 hours. A couple days later, we discovered our cold air return was full of insulation, they sent another team out to fix that problem. We coincidentally had a gathering planned that evening, we had to cancel, another hassle. Later when no "rebate" arrived we called and inquired and that is when we discovered more bad news. rebate was taken off of our bill and is predetermined on the insulation alone. So, although the audit suggests all these areas that need improvement, the rebate will not change. We spoke with our salesman and the sons owner,Jordan, he basically said he was sorry and pointed out that they paid for the repairs so although it was a hassle not much he could do about it. When I told him we had no records of the quote with the rebate refunded he told me he had emailed it, "it must be in spam", we asked for new copies emailed and mailed. This is when we discovered,that the signature they had obtained was electronic, therefore this explained why we had no copy and no idea that this rebate was predetermined plus the verbal quote we had was significantly different by roughly $1000.00. When Jordan asked what he could have done differently I said for starters do a walk through when the job is done, he said they couldn't' since my husband wasn't home.Not true. He was home, they simply said we are finished and took off. When I complained that the rebate was predetermined and not represented that way, he basically said he had explained it. Well, then its mystifying to us that it never came across that way. Why bother paying for an audit to give you suggestions on improving the homes energy efficiency but only base the rebate on the insulation period? Seems like a scam and they were recouping some of the expenses they incurred from the mistakes their crew made. Waste of time, money and a huge headache with all the mistakes. We planned financially for these improvements, which is not easy without going into debt. We thought we were making the right choice in their company. We would not recommend them to our neighbors, friends or family. Beware! read more

We used them in late 2011 after receiving the results of an energy audit. They built knee-walls in our attic to contain insulation in the low parts of the attic. They drilled holes into the floor and blew in insulation. Additionally, they blew insulation into our first-floor walls which had no insulation (Shorewood home built in 1935). First off, we've noticed the difference in our house's ability to retain heat in the winter. The energy usage drop was noticeable. Second, they were neat, clean, and excellent workers. The owner came out and gave us a very experienced and detailed run-down. It just felt good, and even though their estimate was mildly higher than another local company, the personal service felt worth the few extra dollars. It paid off, because when a piece of equipment scratched our wood floors in our upstairs hallway, he readily acknowledged that it was probably caused by them and footed the bill to have the floors re-done. When someone stands by their work that way, you know they are good. I highly recommend them. read more

S&E Insulation did the work outlined in our Focus on Energy audit a month ago. They scheduled a day and half to cut in 25 soffit vents, air seal our attic, seal our gable vent, blow in another foot of insulation and air seal/insulate the cantilevers in our basement. The S&E crew got all the work done in one day. They were professional, fast, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves. Throughout the project they let us know what was happening. They asked if they could play music because they knew I was working from home that day and wanted to minimize any distractions to myself. Two supervisors stopped out to ensure the project was going as planned. So far, our single story 1970 ranch is far less drafty and much more quiet than before. The followup on the energy audit found that our house is much more efficient than estimated. I would definitely recommend S&E for any insulation work you need done. read more
