Rewarding Work at an Award-Winning Company

Back to Blog

Many Mainers have used the forced downtime we experienced in 2020 to take a hard look at their career path and make a change. Perhaps for you, it means leaving a stale job behind and starting anew in a promising career. 

What are you looking for in a job? Is it a fun team of co-workers you enjoy spending time with? Is it working with your hands, providing an important service to your friends, family, and neighbors? Is it learning a challenging skill and honing your craft? Or perhaps you’re just looking for a job that you don’t mind doing every day where you feel respected and your hard work is valued. 

Here at Evergreen Home Performance, we take our work environment seriously. We’re a locally-owned home renovation contractor that specializes in improving the energy efficiency of Maine homes. We also specialize in seeking to create a work environment where employees stay because they like what they do and who they do it with.

Our field and weatherization technicians, project managers, energy advisors, and customer service representatives are vetted for a positive attitude first, then for experience and qualifications second. Why? Because you can’t train a positive attitude and a good work ethic! If you are looking for a rewarding job here in Southern Maine, Portland, Rockland, or the Midcoast area, we are hiring—and here’s why we think you should join our team

Teamwork Makes the American Dream Work

In a recent survey of all our employees, team camaraderie was regularly referenced as a benefit of the job. Our locally-owned business is built on small teams. Whether you are deploying from the Rockland or Portland location in a company truck, or working as part of the sales team, every employee is a person, not a number.

The American Dream might mean something different to every individual, but helping our employees work in an environment where they enjoy what they do (and who they do it with) every day is a part of our American Dream, and we hope it will be yours, too. 

We’re Here to Help You Grow

As we mentioned, all you need is a positive attitude to start doing good work here at Evergreen Home Performance. 

As one of our employees put it when surveyed, “I came into this field with no experience in the trades and within a year I feel like I can do 90% of the job already. And that comes from nothing but a great work environment” 

We can teach you everything you’ll need to know about building science, the on-the-job trade tips of being an insulation installer, a window installer, energy auditor, and everything else we do to make the homes of Maine more efficient and comfortable. 

Work With Some Of the Best

By joining the Evergreen team, you will be tasked with rewarding work that helps the environment both globally and locally. However, you will also be joining a team of building science professionals that are set apart from the pack. Evergreen Home Performance has been a top performer statewide in Maine’s home energy efficiency program for many years.

Evergreen Home Performance shows its expertise from start to finish. Evergreen did three house projects in winter/spring/summer 2020 for me, attic insulation, crawl space under a porch insulation, and basement foam/vapor barrier. From my initial discussion with Bryan, I understood the reasons for choosing different types of insulation, the associated costs, and time estimates. Evergreen scheduled in advance, came when they said they would, and the crews were highly professional in their work and demeanor.

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 cannot say enough great things about working with Evergreen Home Performance. Everything including the initial consultation, the fabulous work crew, the office support and the final resolution was handled in a caring and professional manner. My only regret is that I did not know about them earlier. I enthusiastically recommend Evergreen to anyone with concerns about home energy use.

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!

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.

Evergreen has a professional and reliable team of people who do excellent work. If you want the best of the best in the area, select Evergreen to accomplish your insulation needs.

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.

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.

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.

The crew members from Evergreen Home Performance each made sure to greet us every day, while maintaining their distance in this time of the pandemic. Their work took a total of nine days, spread over three weeks. Even though they were working in multiple rooms of our house, as well as the basement and attic, they were unobtrusive and always cleaned up after themselves every day. The on-sight manager kept us informed of their daily schedule so we'd know which parts of the house they'd be working on.

We had Evergreen redo the insulation in our roof. The team handling our project did a great job. They left the house spotless. We've already noticed the difference in how much better our house is retaining heat. I would definitely recommend and will use them for future projects.

Update 12/2018: Evergreen has completed Phase II of my house (insulating and installing air/moisture barrier on exterior walls, replacing old windows) and now that heating season is upon us, the difference is astonishing. The house is tight as a drum and so easy to keep warm. Worth every penny. Thank you all! Working with Evergreen was a positive experience from start (no charge energy audit) to finish (a MUCH more comfortable home). Brian Robinson spent a lot of time with me on the audit, explaining clearly what he was finding in my ca.

We absolutely loved our experience with Evergreen. The team was incredibly kind, professional and great to work with. We're very impressed with the quality of work of the Evergreen team and how easy they made everything! Our house had barely any insulation ahead of this project and the results are amazing. Insulating the attic, walls and basement with Evergreen allowed us to tear a 50-year-old furnace, ductwork and oil tank out of the basement and now heat the home with new heat pumps. Evergreen also added 100 sq ft of clean, new storage space to the attic!

The Evergreen Team did a fabulous job and was very tuned and responsive to the particular needs we had. The job was done right on budget and we are thrilled with the improved warmth and energy efficiency.
