Happy Evergreen Team Working On A Project Together

Why Mainers Trust Evergreen

Our process is simple, clear, and built around your needs:

Step 1: Understanding Your Home – and Your Goals

Before we talk upgrades, we listen.

During your free one-hour consult, an Evergreen Energy Advisor will:

  • Learn about your comfort, health, and energy concerns
  • Walk through your home – from basement to attic
  • Identify visible issues like air leaks, insulation gaps, and moisture problems

We focus on finding the root causes of your home’s problems, so that we can recommend long-lasting solutions.

If you decide to move forward, we’ll move right to a full home energy audit – a deep diagnostic evaluation using tools like blower door testing and thermal imaging. This gives us the data to build a custom, building-science-based plan for your home.

Step 2: Expert Upgrades, Designed for Lasting Results

Once we know what’s going on, we get to work fixing it—carefully, completely, and customized to your home.

Evergreen offers comprehensive solutions like:

Step 3: Measuring Your Success

We don’t just say your home is better. We prove it.

After upgrades are completed, we’ll:

  1. Retest and verify the improvements with diagnostic tools
  2. Confirm your home meets Evergreen’s quality and safety standards
  3. Check in to hear about the real, measurable impact you’re experiencing in your home

We love hearing from customers about how their homes feel after Evergreen upgrades! And we always appreciate when our customers tell their friends, neighbors, and Google about what it’s like working with our team.

Making It Affordable: Rebates and Financing

Home improvements should feel good for your wallet, too. When you work with Evergreen, we can help you:

  • Qualify for up to $8,000 in Efficiency Maine rebates
  • Finance the balance with payments as low as $50/month

We’ll guide you through every available rebate and financing option – handling the paperwork where possible and making it easy for you to take advantage of savings.

The Evergreen team was amazing from initial assessment and planning to the crew that came to complete the work. Our basement encapsulation is the best money we've spent on our house by far. The work was thorough and high quality. And what a wonderful group of people to work with. I highly recommend Evergreen!

Martha Bracy

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.

Adrienne Harkavy

Professional, friendly and hard-working staff. The product/approach they use for insulation is top notch. We felt the difference immediately, both from added warmth and eliminating drafts. The team and management were easily available to answer our questions or coordinate meeting times. Highly recommended.

Led by Brian Robinson, the Evergreen Home Performance team just completed an insulation refit at my home. It was truly a great experience from start to finish, a period of time that was a fraction of the time that I originally anticipated due to the team's unbelievable work habits and professional knowledge of their tasks. As impressive were the communication skills and friendliness of each and every member of the team.

Great job installing windows and insulation.

The team members were very professional, worked very hard, paid very close attention to detail and cleaned up meticulously every day. I really appreciated the care they took knowing the smallest details were going to make a big difference to our heating bills. Thank you!

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.

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.

Evergreen has just completed Phase 2 of 2 at my home. They are professional, hard-working and courteous. They communicate well..no surprises. They've gone above and beyond to make my home comfortable and were very respectful of my home.I recommend them unequivocally!!!Many thanks to Brian, Brian, Rick, Eddie, Dawson and the rest of the Evergreen crew!!

Evergreen came back this year to finish insulating our house. We have been remodeling and renovating an 1850s cape for several years. Their employees are very professional and pleasant to deal with. Over several years Brian Robinson has been able to schedule us in for several small areas that needed addressing and finally turning a room we used to close off in the winter into a comfortable usable space. We primarily heat with wood and since Evergreens great work our furnace has only come on ONCE this winter. Fantastic. Really satisfied customer in Thomaston.

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.

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

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.

We initially contacted Evergreen through Efficiency Maine for an energy audit, which was conducted promptly and professionally by Justin McEdward, one of their Energy Advisors who is BPI-certified. After a thorough inspection of our newly purchased home, Justin explained in great detail what we needed and did not need. It was agreed that Evergreen would remove all of the existing attic insulation, which was not adequate, and replace it with blown in cellulose, to a rating of R-60.
