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

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.

They were highly recommended. I found them to be very knowledgeable and so helpful, with practical ideas. Despite my not living within their service area, they were generous with their knowledge, describing the usual solutions to correct leaks in my basement, and what the result is likely to be by following path A, B or C, and why. I was discouraged. Talking with Evergreen helped me see that my basement problems are far from insurmountable and really, fairly common in 100-year old homes. There are proven solutions.

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!

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 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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Great job installing windows and insulation.

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.

I was very impressed by the professionalism of this company and the workers. Brian R. was very prompt in replying to my questions; the crew was meticulous in all parts of the work and attentive to the safety aspects concerning Covid; and Brian was extremely thorough in the final inspection. My attic is now snug and warm and I've noticed that the second floor is warmer as well.

The Evergreen Team did a fabulous job, well exceeding our expectations, In just over a week they transformed our very drafty, noisy 213 year old house into a snug, draft-free, quiet haven with warm floors! The team was prompt, did everything they said they'd do and more. We are thrilled!

Trudy M.

Bridgton

Highly recommended. Our heating usage is now less than half what it was before we had our roof insulated. Evergreen was knowledgeable, friendly, and left no trace they were ever in our house. Not only is our heating bill much lower now, but our home is generally more comfortable year-round with less temperature fluctuations. Money well spent.

RC Lations

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.
