Back to Blog

The strength of the US military comes from teamwork, camaraderie, and the best training available. Was your time in the military rewarding, whether it was helping out your fellow soldiers or aiding those around the world that needed our help? As a veteran, you deserve a career that taps into your mission-driven hands-on work experience  and also makes the world a better place. 

The Evergreen Home Performance Mission

A job well done here at Evergreen Home Performance makes the homes of our fellow Mainers more comfortable, more efficient, healthier, and oftentimes, more beautiful. We do this through methodical, building science-based home upgrades like basement and attic insulation, window replacement, energy audits, and more. Our enemies are high levels of humidity and moisture, air gaps, and low levels of insulation in the housing stock of Midcoast and Southern Maine. 

What Your New Field Would Look Like

No two days are exactly the same here at Evergreen Home Performance. You will get a close-up look at many different home types and construction methods each and every day. Plus, no two solutions are exactly the same. We take a customized approach to each and every home performance challenge, and all of our field technicians and installers enjoy problem-solving.

While you may find yourself in some tight, hot, humid, or cold spaces, you will always have the support you need from your fellow teammates and your FOB. We utilize fully equipped trucks to ensure you have the right tools, however, the most important tool we need from you is your brain!

There’s No Such Thing as an FNG at EHP

No one wants to feel like an FNG or a Bolo on the job. As long as you bring your work ethic with you every day, you will never be made to feel like you’re last in the pecking order. Our employees come from a wide range of backgrounds, and we take pride in bringing our newest team members up to speed quickly but correctly. We work in small team units, where you work off each other’s strengths. There is no end to training—you will learn something new with each home you work on. 

Continue Making a Difference in the World

While our pay is more than competitive for the industry, we often hear that the most rewarding thing about a career here at Evergreen is contributing to the overall health of the earth. By reducing the energy use in Maine homes, we are helping reduce the rate that our climate is changing. This does good for our local Maine shores, our forests, our farms, and much more. Plus, you get to see the smiles on the faces of our customers when they realize their energy bills will be lower and their homes will be more comfortable!

My experience with Evergreen was excellent. From their thorough and thoughtful initial consultation to their detailed post-work visit, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Their workmanship was top notch. Our home is now much warmer and more efficient. I highly recommend their services!

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.

The folks at Evergreen did a great job fixing a rather major insulation problem in my house, which they helped identify with a great audit. When the work began, they were thorough, upbeat, and -- dare I say it -- efficient. I strongly recommend them.

Michael Williams

My husband and I bought a home on the water in Owls Head and decided to make the investment in Evergreen's recommendations for insulation. Brian Robinson spent 3 hours examining every nook and cranny before he made practical suggestions and explained them thoroughly to us.

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.

I highly recommend Evergreen! 1st, I had a home efficiency inspection (that was free) & Bryan P. was great! He took the time needed, asked & listened to what I thought were priorities, explained clearly what he thought were priorities & why, then gave me numerous options. No pressure whatsoever. Then I had my attic sealed & insulated as the 1st step & Bryan came along on day 1 to introduce everyone & make sure we were all on the same page. Bruce's team (inc. Kelsey & Roland) did the work - they were exceptional!!

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!

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.

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.

Adrienne Harkavy

I had gotten estimates from several other companies, but Evergreen was in another league entirely with their professionalism. If you want the job done correctly, I couldn't recommend this company enough.

Rayna Mayo

Freeport

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.

Darlene R

Bath

Professional, friendly and hard-working staff. The product/approach they use for insulation is top notch. We felt the difference immediately, both from added warmth and eliminating drafts. The team and management were easily available to answer our questions or coordinate meeting times. Highly recommended.

Kevin J.

Yarmouth

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 did everything they said they would and more. I actually don't mind going into the basement now since they sealed it. The air quality in the house is noticeably better and it's warmer in the winter. We can even store clothing down there where before, whatever was in there would mildew. Even the spider population declined! I used to vacuum so many of them from the corners of the ceilings in the house. Not any more!
