New Homeowners

With the competitive housing market in Maine stretching from Camden all the way down to Cape Elizabeth, buying a home is no small feat. Congratulations on your new home!

Although you’re undoubtedly excited about your purchase, you may already have a list of things you want to update and improve. With many homes being older, there are likely things that need to be taken into account to ensure your home is a comfortable, safe, and beautiful place for you and your family to enjoy for years to come. With help from a local professional contracting team like the experts at Evergreen and Efficiency Maine rebates and financing, making upgrades now is simple and affordable.

Increase Comfort & Reduce Your Home’s Energy Use

Many homes throughout Southern Maine and the Midcoast region are older, with issues like drafty rooms, damp basements, and ice dams that pop up when it snows. You might be wondering how hot that second floor will be during the summer. An energy audit will help determine just how energy efficient your home is and the solutions that can improve it for greater comfort, decreased energy usage, and ultimately lower monthly bills.

To resolve problems with comfort and energy use, it’s likely your home will need air sealing and insulation, while damp, moldy basements will need encapsulation. If you’re considering remodeling a kitchen, a bathroom, or taking down some walls, having home performance upgrades installed simultaneously will help avoid potentially invasive home projects down the line.

Make Your New Home a Safe Place for Your Family

Regardless of whether you’re just planning on starting a family or are already an empty nester, you want your home to be safe and comfortable for the entire family to enjoy. Taking care of problems with mold, drafts, radon, and lead is essential. Fortunately, you can turn your home into a safe haven with home performance solutions like basement encapsulation that will not only improve comfort and home efficiency, but also significantly improve indoor air quality.

We just finished a large project air sealing and reinsulating our 1890s basement and attic. It 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.

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.

Evergreen removed and replaced the insulation in my attic. They did a great job!, Crew was excellent, and the whole thing went smoothly, and the attic was NOT easy to get into or work in, so kudos to some hard work done well!

Evergreen was so helpful in securing us Efficiency Maine funding for a big attic insulation project early this winter. They did all of the paperwork, and totally guided us through a vermiculite removal process that included a payment from a trust for the procedure. I could instantly feel the second floor being so much warmer than before. The boiler does not kick on nearly as frequently since they completed the job. It was worth every penny! Brian Robinson was so thorough throughout the whole process including a full walk through after the job had been completed.

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

Evergreen is the "go-to" company for improving the efficiency of your home. There are others to choose from but none so effective, honest, and capable as Evergreen. They did a great quantity of dense packing cellulose to improve our home (both for energy efficiency and for sound insulation) and it was totally successful. They are on-time, helpful, and caring. They clean up to a level that can't be over emphasized. This was the second time we employed them and we'd use them again if the opportunity came. You'll not be sorry to select Evergreen.

The folks at Evergreen did a great job fixing a rather major insulation problem in my house, which they helped identify with a great audit. When the work began, they were thorough, upbeat, and -- dare I say it -- efficient. I strongly recommend them.

Michael Williams

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.

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.

Working with Evergreen was a dream! Professional, knowledgeable, and super clean work. Communication was fast and service impeccable. The bedroom floors in our 1960's split ranch will be warm with the new insulation between them and the garage. Bring on the snow! (not really, but sort of)

Jess Dee Proctor

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.

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!

I waited a year to write this review. Evergreen finished our job late last winter. Terrific results!!! we've gone from 12-day propane deliveries to 30+ day propane deliveries. The house is noticeably warmer. The Evergreen crew was/is professional, prompt, thorough, scientific, gracious and immaculate with respect to keeping our house clean. Money well spent.

We had a fantastic experience working with Evergreen to insulate our roof this winter. Everyone was extremely friendly throughout the process - the crew at our home worked hard, were approachable with questions, and the team leader even showed me around the project to point out specific areas they were working to improve.
