I contacted Vlad to help me install security cameras. From the first phone call right through to the end he was informative, patient, and honest. His quote was very competitive and this led me to refer him to a few family members/friends, one of which he has already completed work for after finishing mine. He is one of the few contractors I've dealt with that takes his time and does not rush a project. He would rather do the job right than cut corners and I appreciate that. He cleaned up after himself always and was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Vlad.

We selected Energuy to do our Ecoenergy audit. The auditor that came in was thorough in assessing the home and gave us some recommendations on how to improve our score. The report generated was well-written and was easily accessible on their website soon after the audit was done. Even though the auditor gave us recommendations, some of the changes we ended up making (especially regarding heat loss) seemed not worth the time and effort. In particular, the auditor suggested we change the weatherstripping around the garage door, front door and door to the cold storage room. He also suggested we purchase the foam backing kits to put behind the electrical outlets. I really don't feel any of those changes made any difference at all. I also would have appreciated a post-audit report but I was told they only give a score and not a full report.

Todd is a great guy to deal with and his company does spectacular work. We researched a bunch of places but knew in the back of our minds that we were going to end up with Todd since a family member used him and their deck is fabulous. Our biggest challenge was choosing the deck material and brand and also the design that would fit our budget. Decks are one of those things that can blow a budget really fast. The sky really is the limit and we really had to try hard to prioritize what we wanted so we wouldn't end up broke. Todd was great in suggesting revision after revision, giving us updated quotes along the way. In the end, we ended up with Timbertech XLM in two colors, one for the facing sides and one for the flooring. We had him make a small walk-out landing area that is flush with the kitchen sliding door which then steps down onto the deck itself. We are into the second year and the deck is holding up very well.

We contacted Zenic after researching various forums for good attic insulation companies. I consider myself quite picky but Zenic is one of those guys you talk to on the phone and immediately get a good feeling about so we didn't feel the need to get competing quotes. I was considering buying the insulation from Lowes and renting the blower but at the price Zenic quotes it's easier to just get his team to come and do it for you. They were right on time on the scheduled day and he works with a team of two other people. They laid down drop sheets and cleaned up very nicely after themselves. They were professional, polite, and got the job done quickly. It's hard to comment on the quality of the job since it's up in the attic but it must have done something since the temperature on my baby monitors shows less fluctuation in the two rooms since getting the stuff put in.

We came across High Life upon recommendation from a family member who also used them and were happy with their work. We were happy to find that among all the companies we got quotes from, Highlife was one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, period. The work was completed on time as promised and they put down drop sheets to protect the floors. I would give them a 5 if not for two call-backs. One for a slight leak in the furnace drain hose that we discovered the day of the install (which they came right away to repair) and one for the malfunctioning water heater....I know that sounds like a big problem but the guys there are easy to reach and you do get the sense from them that they want to remedy the problem right away. This good service and good pricing definitely warrant a 4/5 in my books.
