New Homeowners

With the competitive housing market in Maine stretching from Camden all the way down to Cape Elizabeth, buying a home is no small feat. Congratulations on your new home!

Although you’re undoubtedly excited about your purchase, you may already have a list of things you want to update and improve. With many homes being older, there are likely things that need to be taken into account to ensure your home is a comfortable, safe, and beautiful place for you and your family to enjoy for years to come. With help from a local professional contracting team like the experts at Evergreen and Efficiency Maine rebates and financing, making upgrades now is simple and affordable.

Increase Comfort & Reduce Your Home’s Energy Use

Many homes throughout Southern Maine and the Midcoast region are older, with issues like drafty rooms, damp basements, and ice dams that pop up when it snows. You might be wondering how hot that second floor will be during the summer. An energy audit will help determine just how energy efficient your home is and the solutions that can improve it for greater comfort, decreased energy usage, and ultimately lower monthly bills.

To resolve problems with comfort and energy use, it’s likely your home will need air sealing and insulation, while damp, moldy basements will need encapsulation. If you’re considering remodeling a kitchen, a bathroom, or taking down some walls, having home performance upgrades installed simultaneously will help avoid potentially invasive home projects down the line.

Make Your New Home a Safe Place for Your Family

Regardless of whether you’re just planning on starting a family or are already an empty nester, you want your home to be safe and comfortable for the entire family to enjoy. Taking care of problems with mold, drafts, radon, and lead is essential. Fortunately, you can turn your home into a safe haven with home performance solutions like basement encapsulation that will not only improve comfort and home efficiency, but also significantly improve indoor air quality.

We are so pleased with the work the team from Evergreen Home Performance did in our home. The project included encapsulation of our basement with a reinforced vapor barrier, installation of a sump pump, spray foam insulation on the walls and insulation of the heating duct work. Everyone at Evergreen was friendly and professional. The project was completed on time and in budget. Our home is much cozier and warmer since the project was completed.

From beginning to end – that is from the moment Justin McEdward stepped into our home to assess our energy conservation needs until the crew left – the Evergreen Home Performance process went absolutely smoothly. Justin made a thorough inspection and took pictures with an infrared camera. His proposal described the scope of work in detail, and he explained what we could expect the proposed work to accomplish. Our proposal was forthcoming within a couple of days, and Justin was available to discuss it and answer questions.

The Evergreen team was amazing from initial assessment and planning to the crew that came to complete the work. Our basement encapsulation is the best money we've spent on our house by far. The work was thorough and high quality. And what a wonderful group of people to work with. I highly recommend Evergreen!

Greetings one and all! I am writing to express my gratitude to all involved in my insulation project.  From start to finish, I appreciate the universal theme which was maintained by each and every one of you, to ensure that my home was insulated and protected from freezing pipes as if it was your home. Andrea, thanks for helping me navigate my way to the project. Nate, thanks for the thorough initial assessment and the time you took to explain this project to me, step by step. Brian, thanks for setting up my project - so happy

I have always been impressed by the high level of service, quality of work, and excellent follow-through provided by Evergreen Home Performance in the three projects that they completed at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm over the past several years.

Evergreen did a fantastic job replacing 28 windows in our house. They were friendly, courteous, and very detail oriented. Brian did a great job planning, estimating and executing the project. Our energy use has dropped significantly since the work was done.

This team of individuals was professional at all times. They set up barriers that 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 an 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!

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

Very easy process, start to finish.  Friendly, professional, and really know their stuff.  They made some improvements to our condo and we were very happy with how it played out.  Would definitely recommend them.

Clayton Eames

Thorough, smart, informative, integrated, and communicative -- that's how my experience was with Evergreen even with the covid interruption midstream. The team picked up where they left off, insulated basement and air sealed attic and knee wall in 100' temps under the eaves! This business group was a pleasure to work with.

I would recommend Evergreen wholeheartedly because of their professionalism, their follow through, and thoughtful project planning.

First we have Evergreen do a BIG project worth about $20K (windows, basement, insulate & rebuild an entire wall, a door, attics, and air sealing). They were so great we had them come back later when we decided we did want to do our other door. They are professional and do great work. They take care of your home and are trustworthy, and on top of all that friendly! I highly recommend you call them!

Garreth C Debiegun

Evergreen is a terrific company to deal with. Polite and efficient crews, meeting deadlines and major reduction in our heat bills. They corrected a lot of issues we suffered from doing work with a shoddy building contractor. We would recommend them to anyone.

Mary Carey

Really great experience from start to finish with Evergreen. They helped us prioritize what needed to be completed first, and has made a significant difference in our hearing costs already. Plus they were really friendly and considerate to work with!

The team members were very professional, worked very hard, paid very close attention to detail and cleaned up meticulously every day. I really appreciated the care they took knowing the smallest details were going to make a big difference to our heating bills. Thank you!
