Energy Audits, Insulation, and Basement Waterproofing Services in Portland, ME

Evergreen Home Performance has now done a number of jobs for us to make our home more energy efficient. In 2019 they insulated our basement (spray foam) and replaced our basement windows, and this year they insulated our attic. Bryan Pringle, one of the energy advisors, could not have been more friendly and helpful in informing us of our options and helping make decisions, not to mention getting his hands dirty during the basement window operation. And he didn’t even make fun of us for inquiring, and eventually installing, a custom cat door into our basement window. Bruce Merryman and his technician did a fantastic job of squeezing into our tiny attic space and sealing up all the drafty areas before blowing in the insulation. I often tell my husband that if only every experience with home improvements could be as easy as working with Evergreen, then my life would be a lot easier.

We found Evergreen online, and are very happy that we did. The team was courteous, and friendly, in a genuine way. And they kept the house very clean, including meticulously installing and dismantling barriers for dust control, every morning and evening. We felt in good hands the whole way through. The attic looks like it’s been sealed up by NASA now (not kidding). Towards the end of the job, there were some details that had to be dealt with unexpectedly. Brian came through with some ideas, and put in extra time to try to resolve things. And Chris Kessler was exceptional. He first came to create an estimate, and was very knowledgable and thorough. Further, he paid close attention to the legal/administrative end of things, and was able to ensure that Efficiency Maine contributed a very substantial sum to the project cost. All in all, I’m extremely happy with Evergreen, and would not hesitate to call upon them again. Highly recommended.

Working with Evergreen was great. Chris came out for an energy audit, gave us lots of good insight on things we could do, listened to our concerns, and put together a thoughtful proposal. The crew came out over a couple of days and did a fantastic job with the installation, always leaving the work areas spotless at the end of the day.

We could not have had a better experience working with Evergreen Home Performance specifically under the guidance of Chris Kessler and the crew project managed by Red. All aspects of the work were well communicated and executed with precision. Chris took the time to fully explain the “why’s” of the scope of work they were doing and even went the extra mile to point out some DIY improvements we could do ourselves to further the impact of the job. Red was a wonderful communicator each day the crew was at our home and always left the house cleaner than when they had entered. We are noticing a huge difference in the comfort of our home, thank you Evergreen!
