Energy Audits, Insulation, and Basement Waterproofing Services in Rockland, ME

Your Local Guide to a Comfortable & Efficient Rockland Home 

If you live in Rockland, you know how quickly the weather can turn—and how important it is to have a home that holds up to it all. From humid summers to cold, windy winters, Midcoast Maine homes face moisture, temperature swings, and aging infrastructure. At Evergreen, we help you fight back with energy efficiency solutions that work.

Since 2006, we’ve helped hundreds of Rockland homeowners upgrade insulation, control moisture, and improve indoor comfort with a focus on long-term performance, not short-term patches.

Evergreen’s Long History in Rockland

Evergreen Home Performance was founded in Rockland in 2006 by Richard Burbank and his wife, Samantha, inspired by their experience living in an uninsulated 1880s Victorian home right here in town. Since then, we’ve made our homebase in downtown Rockland and remain deeply connected to the local community.

Every morning and afternoon, you’ll see our Evergreen trucks rolling out onto Main Street as we head to insulate homes across the Midcoast—and returning at the end of the day. Our team can often be found grabbing coffee or lunch at downtown spots, and we’re proud to support and participate in local events and initiatives. Rockland isn’t just where we work—it’s where we started, and it’s still home.

Insulation Needs in Rockland and Midcoast Maine 

Living in Rockland, Maine and the surrounding Midcoast region means experiencing a wide range of weather conditions, from icy Atlantic winds in the winter to warm, humid summers. Older homes in the area—many with charming historic features—often lack the insulation needed to keep heating and cooling costs under control. Proper insulation not only makes your home more comfortable year-round, it also protects against drafts, moisture problems, and rising energy bills.

Homeowners in Rockland, Thomaston, Camden, and Owls Head face unique challenges due to coastal weather. Salt air and moisture can make energy efficiency even more difficult to maintain without the right building materials. Upgrading your attic, basement, and wall insulation ensures your home stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer while reducing strain on your heating and cooling systems.

At Evergreen Home Performance, we’ve worked with Midcoast families for years to improve comfort and efficiency. Whether you live in a classic Rockland farmhouse or a newer home in Camden or Rockport, our insulation solutions are designed for Maine’s climate. With energy rebates available through programs like Efficiency Maine, investing in better insulation has never been more affordable.

This team of individuals were professional at all times. They set up barriers which kept the dust at a minimum. They conducted an air flow audit and cut the draft circulation from the outside in half by sealing cracks. They hauled out the old insulation and replaced it with blown in insulation with a R – 60 Value. They also did the rebate paperwork so that I could get my $1500.00 rebate from the state of Maine. I highly recommend Evergreen Home Performance!

Daniel Benson

Working with Brian and with Nate and the rest of the crew was a pleasure. They made everything very easy and understandable. This was a major renovation and they were always at the ready with a lot of information.. We had extensive renovation on the basement which was a dirt basement and it came out beautifully. We can already tell from all of the insulation work what a difference it’s made in sound and temperature. Brian worked with me on the rebates that are available when you do this kind of work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Valerie Landsburg

I was very impressed by the professionalism of this company and the workers. Brian R. was very prompt in replying to my questions; the crew was meticulous in all parts of the work and attentive to the safety aspects concerning Covid; and Brian was extremely thorough in the final inspection. My attic is now snug and warm and I’ve noticed that the second floor is warmer as well.

Julia Swan

Evergreen just spent the three hottest days of the summer so far installing blown-in insulation in my 150 year old house! They were professional and somehow in great spirits the entire time despite the 90+ degree temps all day. A pleasure to work with! I can tell already how well the house is staying cool during the day

Kate Doiron

Each of the Evergreen representatives, from Irene Flynn to the guys that showed up to do the work, were punctual, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. Not only did they do the work as contracted, but pointed out some other concerns, including an abandoned oil tank that was rusting through and could have caused a spill and groundwater contamination if not promptly addressed, which we did. Great resource for home improvements; we’ll use them again in the future.

Several years ago Brian Robinson evaluated the crawl space at my summer home on Islesboro where I knew moisture was becoming a problem. I had done quite a bit of work in the space many years prior with mixed results. When Brian offered some suggestions, they were ideas that incorporated work previously done, and would be a relatively low cost effort to improve the situation. He offered this advice over several phone conversations of some length, informally, and at no charge.

Evergreen came out 2 years ago to do an assessment and insulate our roof. This year we had them come back and do the basement as well. They are hands-down the best crew we've ever hired to work on our house. They are experts at what they do, and super meticulous in their work. After working in our house for a week with blown insulation, there was no trace they were ever here. We've seen a huge decrease in our energy bills while at the same time the house has become way more comfortable. Can't recommend them enough.

Evergreen has insulated two homes that we've owned now and both times we experienced exceptional service and craftsmanship. Our rep, Justin, went above and beyond answering questions and the installation team was attentive to every detail, including pulling out old poorly installed insulation and redoing a bathroom fan that wasn't up to current code. They also left the place spotless every day! Our home is already so much warmer this fall and we are looking forward to using less oil this winter.

We just finished a large project of air sealing and reinsulating our 1890s basement and attic which had been completely renovated 8 years ago but still felt cold and lacked proper energy assessment and corrections. We met with Justin in December and were very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and communication skills and knew Evergreen was who we wanted to work with. Dave was our on hands project manager and was excellent. The office staff has been quick to respond and helpful as well when needed.

Emily Gallant

I was extremely pleased with the professionalism and quality of service that I received from the Evergreen team. I met Richard to discuss options for insulation. I knew immediately that I wanted to do business with them because he did not try to over-sell extra services that I did not need. Dave was the project manager. He was not only kind, but very respectful of my home. I would highly recommend this company.

Evergreen did an amazing job insulating our historic home. Their professional staff worked hard to ensure the tough areas in the attic were covered, and clearly communicated their progress. We are seeing the results with our discounted heating bills. Thank you, Evergreen!

Melissa Knoll

Portland

I used to spend winters in the bathtub because my house was so cold. This was my first winter roaming around my whole house comfortably. This even led me to decorate a little. My heating oil usage has been reduced by over a quarter: I rarely have to boost the thermostat because the temp stays at a constant. The Efficiency Maine rebates, together with the energy savings, make it affordable for me to pay for the loan I took out to finance the project. I do not worry about my pipes freezing.

Claire Helene Bevan

Camden

Evergreen listened and produced a thoughtful evaluation, proposal and comprehensive plan for our attic and basement. They exhibited excellent workmanship, teamwork, and came back as planned after the completion of the job to test the outcomes. Their overall performance as insulation and home improvement contractors is truly outstanding and we highly recommend them.

The Evergreen Team did a fabulous job, well exceeding our expectations, In just over a week they transformed our very drafty, noisy 213 year old house into a snug, draft-free, quiet haven with warm floors! The team was prompt, did everything they said they'd do and more. We are thrilled!

Trudy M.

Bridgton

We had Evergreen come out to our tiny old (100+ year old) house to see what they would recommend for decreasing our carbon footprint, saving money, and increasing our comfort in the cold season. Richard and Bryan were great to work with, patiently answering our many questions and walking us through multiple options. We could only afford to tackle a few areas this year; we ended up replacing some windows and having them weatherize the entire house.

A thorough inspection of our (older) house and its energy needs. Competent and personable work crew.

Jacob Watson

I cant say enough about this company and the benefits that it created for our family. They are very professional and have effectively re-insulated our home. The heating bill proves the point.

Bob O.

Springvale

Evergreen is the "go-to" company for improving the efficiency of your home. There are others to choose from but none so effective, honest, and capable as Evergreen. They did a great quantity of dense packing cellulose to improve our home (both for energy efficiency and for sound insulation) and it was totally successful. They are on-time, helpful, and caring. They clean up to a level that can't be over emphasized. This was the second time we employed them and we'd use them again if the opportunity came. You'll not be sorry to select Evergreen.

Dirk F.

Our house still the most efficient home we’ve ever lived in. And we have you folks to thank for that! A special howdy to Brian Robinson please!
