***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!**
The reviews I had read on Homestars seemed to good to be true, but after our own experience with Affordable Insulation, we are more than happy to add our own feedback.
Having wildlife living on one's property is never a good feeling, but thankfully, we had the benefit of qualified professionals who took our need for proper insulation to heart, and worked on our home as though it were theirs. Jason arrived early for our consultation and educated us on the very detailed approach they would be taking in blocking unnecessary air-holes, installing / replacing baffles, and replacing the insulation to current code - with a 10-year guarantee against settling!
We were kept up to date during the whole exercise. On the day of the project, we were given timely updates and opportunities to review the work-in-progress. Jason, Syd, and Chris are truly respectful, polite, honest professionals. We thank you for the absolutely wonderful and amazing job you did in resolving our insulation issue. Although we have had unseasonably hot and cold weather since then, we have had no need to turn our heat or AC on - not once! For the first time in all the years since we've lived here, we are seeing the upper level temperatures as warm as, or as cool as the lower levels! It's still early, but as far as we can see, we have no more need for multiple fans in Summer or additional heating sources in the Winter months. That is simply fantastic!! Our closet is no longer the coldest room in the house, thanks to Syd's repairing (rebuilding!!) our trap door insulation, adding enough insulation to last us the next 15 or so years. (Thanks, Syd!)
The icing on the cake for me came on the day of the project. To help keep our floors clean, the gentlemen used strategically placed drop cloths, and also carried their shoes in their hands and only put them on to go up and down the ladder to the attic. After all the work was done and I went to clean-up, I had the surprise of my life ... our closet was spotless! All exposed surfaces had been dusted clean and the bedroom carpet had been vacuumed!
The price quoted was reflective of the level of care and attention to detail that went into this project. The work was very, very professionally done! On top of all you did, you gave us so much invaluable information. We cannot pay you for the tips and education around preventing heat-loss and animal re-entry. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The little things matter much: like checking in with the neighbours to apologize for unavoidably blocking a part of their driveway, or being patient in explaining the process in non-technical language...Thanks again, Jason, Syd and Chris. We will be more than happy to forward your contact information to anyone we know dealing with insulation issues. We hope we never need to call you to replace ours again, but if we ever have such a need, please know that we will be calling you first!
Satisfied and Thankful,
Ann
