What Makes a Job at Evergreen a Rewarding Career for Veterans?

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!

Our basement was the eyesore of the house. I wanted to make improvements, but first needed to make structural, insulating and moisture mitigation improvements. Evergreen was professional and competent in taking on a complex project of not only encapsulation and insulation of basement and crawlspace, but completed needed improvements to the structural integrity of the wood floor platform above a crawlspace and brought in a concrete contractor to pour where there was once a rotting, tiered wood platform - replacing that area with a more functional and tight tiered concrete area.

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.

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.

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!

Bruce O’Donal and Eva Butler

Evergreen did a fantastic job insulating our 1930's home. The onsite team was professional, clean, and really just a joy to interact with throughout the process. A blower test at the end showed a significant decrease in air leakage. I highly recommend Evergreen.

Nothing but good things to say. The guys that came and did the actual work were extremely nice and did a great job. The energy audit was thorough and I was presented with multiple improvement options, I was even given ideas for improvement that Evergreen didn't offer. I never felt like I was being "sold".

Ryan Adams

From start to finish, our experience was incredible. Justin was extremely helpful. The crew was fast, friendly, and efficient. And most importantly, our home is WAY warmer and our heating is less costly. I'd highly recommend evergreen to anyone looking to upgrade their home!

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!

Great company. Very professional and thorough. They take the time to explain everything and offer options to fit your budget. Wonderful experience from start to finish.

Bonnie Eustace

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.

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

Very Satisfied with the work performed by Evergreen. Professional employees, high quality work done in a timely manner. My sales rep was Justin, and he was phenomenal During the initial walk around my house, he gave me great ideas for how to improve the efficiency of our home. We will consult with Evergreen for our future home projects.

Thanks Evergreen Home Performance for helping to make our home more efficient. Many thanks as well to Bryan for the initial walk through and recommendations to make our home more efficient and to Dave, Roland, and Jacob for a job that was done professionally and courteous.  We were amazed at the level of efficiency and everyday they made sure to protect our floors, carpets, and furniture. We had daily discussions with Dave about progress and what was being done and where they were at in the project.

Carol Fink

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!!

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!
