Chicago Insulation Contractors

"I searched on Angie's list for the appropriate company with a good rating. Rang the number but it was an answering service so I did not leave a message. JK call back a short while later and we talked about the requirement and arranged for a visit. On the visit JK looked at the job and quickly gave me an estimate of $1,100 and suggest it would take 2/3 ...more days. I said this was a little more than expected, we aggreed on $1,000 and I would get the paint. I agreed to call when I was happy to schedule the work. There was no pressure and JK is is a pleasant chap. I called a couple of weeks later and we scheduled the job. JK and one of his chaps arrived at the correct time on the agreed day and both unloaded the materials. JK asked for a deposit on the first day which was a reasonable request. His chap worked hard all day and the progress looked very good so I paid 25% at the end of the first day. Day two the chap arrived as agreed and worked hard all day and finished the job on the second day. I inspected the work and was very pleased so I paid the balance in full. In summary they did a very good job, in fact the did it faster than expected and were very good at clearing up and leaving things in very good order. Rubbish was removes and furniture re-placed. They even painted areas that were not strictly in the original request. Very pleased and cannot hear the next door TV any more."

" did a professional and meticulous work in insulating my property's crawl space. arrived on time, organized his work and from start to finish he did it on his own without taking any breaks. I would recommend Stalle ( ) to do any handyman's work as well as ...more any cabinet or kitchen remodeling as

would be the perfect man for the job because of his attention to detail work."

"They were on time. They did the work from scratch as there was no insulation. They were very good and very knowledgeable. They told us about a rebate that was going on. We were able to get some money back from the rebate program. The upstairs is warm, so I think they've done a good job. I would probably use them again if we move to a different house or something."

"We called Energy 360 first about windows as they sell the Serious Materials brand. came over a few days later to show us some windows and get measurements. He was very knowledgeable about the windows. We went back and forth with emails to decide what we wanted to do. His responses were good, but not always timely. In his ...more defense, we were not prompt with responses either and were in no hurry to get these windows. We decided to go with the Serious Fiberglass slider windows. We replaced the two windows in the master bedroom and a small bathroom window. Serious had a backlog at their factory so we had to wait about 2 months before they were ready. Energy 360 came to install the windows, they were here for several hours to do the work. They did a good job of sealing/insulating around the windows and the windows are amazing. We didn't realize they would be flush with the wall giving us no sill. My wife was not crazy about the idea, but I like it. My wife also missed the fact that the bathroom window will not open. There was a miscommunication in there, but that might be my fault. The windows were $5,050. The fiberglass windows are expensive, but they look nice and have amazing U values. In the winter, the windows are warmer than the walls. We also had Energy 360 come in to seal and insulate our attic and seal around the floors in the basement to stop air from traveling through our walls. They used a spray foam to seal everything and blew in about 2 feet of cellulose insulation. They did a blower door test before and after to show the difference it made. This was $1,250. We also had an independent energy auditor come in before we did any work on the house and a follow up after making a bunch of improvements. He commented on the how well they did with the windows and insulation."

"Two workers came to my house on the appointment date a good 15-20 minutes before the appointment time. They explained what the procedure was and quickly went to work. They laid down a drop cloth, brought in their equipment. They put up the vents between the roof joists, and put the blow-in insulation into the attic. They then had me examine the ...more finished work and also explained how they covered up the attic access. They were done within an hour."

"We use quite often; whenever we need something to get fixed or repair at our home. First time we used them it was to work on remodeling our house after we bought it five years ago. Since then we stick with and their team because they always do an excellent job and of course their prices are very competitive. ...more I honestly recommend this company to anyone that needs some construction work done on their home or have furnace fixed."

"These guys are great! They actually talked me out of wanting as much foam as I thought I needed. They described what was necessary and saved me money. They do superior work and their prices can't be beat. I had hired a different company after taking in 5 or 6 estimates for one apartment. Those guys were like the Keystone Cops of foaming. Ridiculous. ...more It appears they're now out of business. The point of sharing that is to underline how good

is. I hired

for a different floor and was amazed at their honesty, professionalism, quality and price! It's not often you get the best quality for the best price. I have had friends use them to the same result. I will be hiring them again in a couple weeks for another ceiling, and later as more apartments come on line."

"Overall, the process was really quite amazing and even educational. I was interested to learn, for example, that insulating without air sealing is not very effective. The crew was happy to answer questions I had along the way, and I ask an a lot of questions. The energy audit required the use of a door-mounted blower, which ...more was really slick. I had seen this done before on home improvement programs and always thought it would be more complicated, intrusive and noisy. It was none of those. My two-year-old son napped through the entire audit! Given the comprehensive approach taken, the entire job--intitial energy audit through insulating to final cleanup and second audit--was considerably less expensive than I had expected. I was also worried about the intrusiveness of gaining access to uninsulated areas of my home; while it did require some openings be cut in walls and holes drilled in crawlspace flooring,

took care of all patches, painting and cleanup quickly and professionally. The crew that performed the work were very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Overall, they did an excellent job. With the warm summer weather

to cooler fall temperatures, I've already noiced an improvement in the comfort level in our home. It will be interesting to compare energy bills from this winter to those of last winter. If the energy audit results are a good indicator (and I believe they are), I expect a solid return on a minimal investment and a much more comfortable home during summer and winter months."
