Rockland ME Home Insulation, Basement Waterproofing & Energy Audit

Your Local Guide to a Comfortable & Efficient Rockland Home

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.

Insulation Needs in Rockland and Midcoast Maine

Living in Rockland, Maine and the surrounding Midcoast region means experiencing a wide range of weather conditions, from icy Atlantic winds in the winter to warm, humid summers. Older homes in the area—many with charming historic features—often lack the insulation needed to keep heating and cooling costs under control. Proper insulation not only makes your home more comfortable year-round, it also protects against drafts, moisture problems, and rising energy bills.

Homeowners in Rockland, Thomaston, Camden, and Owls Head face unique challenges due to coastal weather. Salt air and moisture can make energy efficiency even more difficult to maintain without the right building materials. Upgrading your attic, basement, and wall insulation ensures your home stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer while reducing strain on your heating and cooling systems.

At Evergreen Home Performance, we’ve worked with Midcoast families for years to improve comfort and efficiency. Whether you live in a classic Rockland farmhouse or a newer home in Camden or Rockport, our insulation solutions are designed for Maine’s climate. With energy rebates available through programs like Efficiency Maine, investing in better insulation has never been more affordable.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
