Your Local Guide to a Comfortable & Efficient Rockland Home 

Old House In Meadow near seaside

If you live in Rockland, you know how quickly the weather can turn—and how important it is to have a home that holds up to it all. From humid summers to cold, windy winters, Midcoast Maine homes face moisture, temperature swings, and aging infrastructure. At Evergreen, we help you fight back with energy efficiency solutions that work.

Since 2006, we’ve helped hundreds of Rockland homeowners upgrade insulation, control moisture, and improve indoor comfort with a focus on long-term performance, not short-term patches.

Evergreen’s Long History in Rockland

Evergreen Home Performance was founded in Rockland in 2006 by Richard Burbank and his wife, Samantha, inspired by their experience living in an uninsulated 1880s Victorian home right here in town. Since then, we’ve made our homebase in downtown Rockland and remain deeply connected to the local community.

Every morning and afternoon, you’ll see our Evergreen trucks rolling out onto Main Street as we head to insulate homes across the Midcoast—and returning at the end of the day. Our team can often be found grabbing coffee or lunch at downtown spots, and we’re proud to support and participate in local events and initiatives. Rockland isn’t just where we work—it’s where we started, and it’s still home.

This team of individuals were professional at all times. They set up barriers which 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 a 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!

Daniel Benson

Working with Brian and with Nate and the rest of the crew was a pleasure. They made everything very easy and understandable. This was a major renovation and they were always at the ready with a lot of information.. We had extensive renovation on the basement which was a dirt basement and it came out beautifully. We can already tell from all of the insulation work what a difference it’s made in sound and temperature. Brian worked with me on the rebates that are available when you do this kind of work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Valerie Landsburg

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.

Julia Swan

Evergreen just spent the three hottest days of the summer so far installing blown-in insulation in my 150 year old house! They were professional and somehow in great spirits the entire time despite the 90+ degree temps all day. A pleasure to work with! I can tell already how well the house is staying cool during the day

Kate Doiron

Each of the Evergreen representatives, from Irene Flynn to the guys that showed up to do the work, were punctual, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. Not only did they do the work as contracted, but pointed out some other concerns, including an abandoned oil tank that was rusting through and could have caused a spill and groundwater contamination if not promptly addressed, which we did. Great resource for home improvements; we’ll use them again in the future.

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!

I would recommend Evergreen wholeheartedly because of their professionalism, their follow through, and thoughtful project planning.

Evergreen came out 2 years ago to do an assessment and insulate our roof. This year we had them come back and do the basement as well. They are hands-down the best crew we've ever hired to work on our house. They are experts at what they do, and super meticulous in their work. After working in our house for a week with blown insulation, there was no trace they were ever here. We've seen a huge decrease in our energy bills while at the same time the house has become way more comfortable. Can't recommend them enough.

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!

We needed basement encapsulation to stop moisture coming up into the house from our regularly flooding basement. We had mold growing on windowsills and furniture. All the staff were friendly, respectful of our home, and easy to work with. Humidity has gone from 70% down to 40% and mold has not grown back after two months. Very grateful.

I have always been impressed by the high level of service, quality of work, and excellent follow-through provided by Evergreen Home Performance in the three projects that they completed at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm over the past several years.

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

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.

The crew members from Evergreen Home Performance each made sure to greet us every day, while maintaining their distance in this time of the pandemic. Their work took a total of nine days, spread over three weeks. Even though they were working in multiple rooms of our house, as well as the basement and attic, they were unobtrusive and always cleaned up after themselves every day. The on-sight manager kept us informed of their daily schedule so we'd know which parts of the house they'd be working on.

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!

Bryan, Dave and the entire Evergreen team are wonderfully professional, prompt and thorough. I enjoyed working with them and look forward to continued work as we upgrade our home! Thank you so much for your professionalism, fairness, time and diligence.

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.

Cliff R.

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.

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.

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.
