The crew (Chris L. and Sean M.) was supposed to start a 8:00 am, but through some scheduling misunderstanding they arrived at 1:00 pm. Not a big problem as I took the day off. As they were about to get started they saw that there was not enough attic space to install styro-vents over the garage. (Unfortunately this was not brought to my attention at he proposal visit.) Instead of abandoning that part of the job (one possible option presented, though nor acceptable for me as I needed the garage ceiling insulated), we came up with an alternate solution that involved me bringing in a siding contractor on an emergency basis to provide access from the soffits in order for the insulation crew to install the vents from the outside. Once the access was made, the crew was able to complete the rest of their work. Throughout the process they were very courteous, explained the difficulty clearly, showed that they understood my concerns, and worked collaboratively to find a solution that worked. They worked efficiently, were very friendly, and cleaned up after they finished. They turned a potential problem into a successful job. My thanks to both Chris L. and Sean M.
From start to finish the service from Great Northern has been top notch. The salesman was honest, upfront and provided a quote in timely fashion not to mention at least 30% cheaper than the other large company in the area. Kim was able to book a time that accommodated my families busy schedule and kept me up speed to any schedule changes.
The installers arrived on time and were careful to cover any areas that could get some some over spray on. Colin and Jon were great at explaining the process and asked me if I had any questions or concerns. A Great Northern experience. Thank for the warm basement,
Tony
I liked the quotation guy, very thorough, clearly explained options and his recommendation.
I liked the two installers, they pointed out a couple of minor leaks in the roof, which was not good news but I'm glad they told me. They were done in about 3 hours, left a bit of loose insulation material in the driveway.
Time will tell if the heating/cooling improves.
I am very pleased with the work completed. Henry and Devon were very courteous and diligent in maintaining cleanliness in our home. There was one potential issue identified which they brought to my attention right away. They were very considerate in allowing me a reasonable amount of time to investigate and fix the concern so the process could continue without having to reschedule.
I was pleased with the work done by GNI. The crew arrived within the time designated for their arrival. They covered the cold room floor to prevent a mess due to the spray foam. It took a little over an hour for them to complete the application. I was hoping for a more even coat of insulation but I am not familiar with this type of insulation because it was the first time that I have used it so maybe it was done to the best of their ability. They brought their hose in a basement window and while doing this rubbed some paint off the window sill.
All in all I was happy with the work done but I will have to wait for some cold weather to see if this process actually prevents dampness from condensation in our cold room.
Both Great Northern professionals were courteous and hard-working. They explained what they were doing and approximately how long it would take. Both Devin and Henry arrived on time and completed the job in the time they indicated.
