Why Work At Evergreen?

Back to Blog

With the labor market tight and plenty of jobs to be had from Kittery to Bar Harbor, it’s a great time to consider why a career with Evergreen is such a great choice.

Start a Career with Maine’s premier home performance contracting company

Evergreen’s mission is to provide energy efficiency services to increase Maine homeowners’ indoor comfort, lower their fossil fuel use, and improve their indoor air quality with exceptional installation services and superior customer service.

We help young families retrofit their first house to be comfortable for the new baby and to make their fuel bills manageable. We help seniors upgrade their beloved homes to be more efficient and affordable so that they can age in place. We help Mainers living in old farmhouses insulate them for the very first time so that the water in the dog’s water bowl doesn’t freeze overnight!

And as we help Maine people, we help the environment. Every year, the amount of home heating fuel we PREVENT from being burned in Maine homes compounds and grows. Since our inception, we estimate that we have offset the equivalent of over 1 ½ Million Gallons of home heating oil. That’s almost 19,000 tons of carbon dioxide that HAS NOT gone into the atmosphere!


“The work I do in Maine people’s homes is not easy. But it’s worthwhile to me and here’s why.

I have worked for Evergreen for a total of five years, first as a field technician and currently as a project manager. Having worked in the trades for multiple outfits over the last 25 years, I can honestly say Evergreen is the best company I have ever been involved with.

Our management team is incredibly supportive. We are very well trained to do our job safely and skillfully. They understand we have a life outside of work and are flexible with family and personal obligations. Our compensation and benefits reflects our needs for financial stability. Everyone in the office, from ownership to management, is available for questions or concerns. The “open door policy” is not just a saying at Evergreen; everyone really cares. Perhaps best of all, our hard work is acknowledged and appreciated.

My job at Evergreen is intellectually challenging and engaging. I have the pleasure of working with competent, committed people who truly act as a team. I am given opportunities for personal growth doing work that is meaningful. The work we do has a positive impact for the homeowners and the environmental health of our communities and our state. It is incredibly gratifying to know the work we do has real world benefits.

And yes, we do have some fun while we’re at it.”  – Rick Stevenson

Evergreen came back this year to finish insulating our house. We have been remodeling and renovating an 1850s cape for several years. Their employees are very professional and pleasant to deal with. Over several years Brian Robinson has been able to schedule us in for several small areas that needed addressing and finally turning a room we used to close off in the winter into a comfortable usable space. We primarily heat with wood and since Evergreens great work our furnace has only come on ONCE this winter. Fantastic. Really satisfied customer in Thomaston.

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 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.

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!

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".

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.

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.

In the final stages of selling our home, and with a closing date set, an inspection came across an unanticipated issue in our attic. We quickly called in contractors, but nobody was able to identify the source of the problem. Then we thought of Evergreen. Brian Robinson was on site the next morning and immediately identified the source (a faulty roofing job completed three years earlier which had effectively sealed up portions of the ridge vent and restricted air flow - not easily visible with a quick inspection).

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.

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.

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

Jacob Watson

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!

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!

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!!

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.
