Chicago Green Insulation, Inc.

I don't write negative reviews easily. Tom is a nice guy, and the actual insulation spraying was done well to the best of our knowledge (I'll note that the estimate was not very detailed, so it took a fair amount back and forth to confirm scope). While our project was relatively small, it was a big chunk of $$. Since the spaces being insulated are both clearly being used for storage, we now understand that a fire-retardant paint is required by code to be used on top of the spray foam. What was more surprising is that the required paint is sold in commercial quantities only and is recommended to be applied with a commercial sprayer. Not a DIY job, and not one that we've found anyone to help us with for less than a few thousand dollars (pretty much as much as it cost us to have the insulatio

I contacted Chicago Green Insulation to see if anything could be done to prevent my pipes from freezing again this winter. Tom called me back and was over to inspect my house by the next day. He did a thorough inspection of the areas where I’ve had freezing and went down into the crawl space to see how well it was insulated. It turned out that my crawl space already was insulated but Tom alerted me to several other things I could do to help potentially avoid having my pipes freeze. A couple of his suggestions were ones I could do on my own while others will require professionals to do the work. Tom very nicely offered to help get a quote for one of the jobs with someone in the industry that he has worked with for many years. Although I wasn’t able to hire Tom to provide any insulation wor

Tom came to the house promptly to address my issue with pipes freezing. He is extremely knowledgeable and patiently explained the options and provided helpful pointers. A no pressure process, I never felt like he was trying to upsell me.

I couldn’t be happier with Chicago Green Insulation. I had a unique project, and got several quotes. Tom got the job not because he was cheapest, (which he was) but because he understood my needs and came up with a unique approach that saved time and money. I didn’t get a cheap job, I got a great job, done for less money because of Tom’s expertise.

As a home builder of many years, I can tell you that Not all contractors are alike. I have used Chicago Green Insulation several times, on different projects. And I can say, they did an excellent job every time. Their spray crews were dependable, and got in and got it done. Tom Decker is experienced and knowledgable in the field of building insulation, and most important, Reliable. Two thumbs up!
