I have been participating in some green leadership orientations hosted in the Conservation Consultants building, and am very impressed. Pictures line the walls depicting the remodeling of the structure into its current green state, and the business' commitment to the environment is apparent in all of their methods, and in all of their rooms. It is apparent from walking around the building that its operation is overseen by people who know what they are doing for precisely that reason - they are really doing it! Great place to rent out for meetings, as well - sunny, large front room with projector screen.

Very pleased with the follow-up. Moves my 1-star review to a 4-star review. I have a mixed review. Mincin insulated my home as part of a Columbia Gas program for reducing energy use in old homes. First, Jimmy Bickerton and his crew were fantastic. They were polite, informative, and most importantly, hard-working. That is the heart of this review: Jimmy's crew went out of their way to blow in the insulation from the outside so as to leave undisturbed the old plaster and finished walls of the interior. This meant moving ladders constantly, working in the drizzling rain, etc. Only once were they forced inside, and that was because the space between the outside wall and the interior wall was unusually thin--forcing them to put bullet-size holes inside for foam. The other crew did more damage in a single day than Jimmy did all week, or conceivably could do in a year. They persuaded my wife and me that it would be best for them to blow-in from the inside, and it was not clear to us what that meant: softball-size holes every 8 inches in our finished interior, *including* through the wood paneling. The USG patch jobs are amateurish *at best.* It will take me a month of Saturdays just to get the walls paintable, but nonetheless, there will be no matching the existing textured plaster. To top it all off, somebody moved a bed across a brand new maple floor and left a gouge I could flood and float a boat in. Absolutely no excuse for this kind of careless work. I, of course, have no recourse, so I am warning the public: If you use Mincin, request Jimmy Bickerton, and make the other lazy crews that come get a ladder off the truck. To be clear, as was confirmed by other crews, the crew that went inside did so because it was convenient for them, not because it was necessary.

Amazing service! The person who came out to spec my job was so knowledgeable and patient, helped me…read moreunderstand the options. Then they worked to get me on the schedule, especially touching winter, as they're all booked up. When the crew arrived, so friendly. We had covered much of our rooms with plastic, but they brought drop cloths and even more plastic. These insulators took good care to cover all the surfaces, even using painter's tape to carefully apply to the baseboards, eliminating all chance of dust! The holes are closed up so nicely and smooth, it will be so easy to paint. The house is nearly just as clean as before this major project happened in mere hours!! If your home is drafty, do yourself a favor, and schedule an estimate. Never been excited to see a utility bill before, and I'm looking forward to it reducing!!
