Don’t just tell me what you think I want to hear

Shopping around is no fun.

If you’re in the market for a big ticket item like spray foam insulation for your business, you’ve got to make the effort. There’s too much at stake.

But what happens when you do call around and get a few quotes, then you’re more confused than when you started?

Choosing Between 3 Different Quotes

That’s exactly what happened to one of our recent customers.

She called 3 companies. One quote will be crazy low. Another was crazy high.

Then the crazy-high company dropped their prices by a few thousand dollars just like that.

With 3 bids that were so different, she knew something was up and decided to stop worrying about the price and focus on finding someone who knew what they were doing.

She did a little homework on her own.

The interior of her building is black, and she wanted black spray foam that would look nice inside the building.

Two of the contractors she talked to told her they’d mix the black in with the spray foam ahead of time… that would keep the bid low.

But one contractor recommended painting the spray foam after it was up. It would cost more, but the spray foam would retain its fire resistance.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!

The other 2 contractors were telling her what they thought she wanted to hear – how to do the job as cheaply as possible. But what she really wanted was someone to give her all the information so she could make an informed decision.

Our customer turned out to be one smart cookie! She didn’t risk losing everything in a fire to save a few bucks on insulation.

Besides, she made up the “few bucks” in her energy bills almost immediately after having the spray foam installed by our team.

Her 4,000 sf building had never been insulated before and her power bills are barely $200 a month now. Plus, she’s much more comfortable in the building.

Terry and his team were very knowledgeable about options and what would work best for my application. They showed up on time and did a great job!

Had a great experience with Mr. Green Jeans! My historic home was getting so hot due to a lack of insulation. Terry came out and did an energy audit and made recommendations and gave quotes at different price points. His crews handled the insulation quickly and even came out an extra day when we discovered unexpected obstacles. Highly recommend!

Terry and his crew were very professional. We had insulation added to attic and A/C ducts sealed...the work was exceptional and they left the house as clean as when they arrived. I will definitely use them again.

Terry and his crew are amazing. Terry will come to your location and educate you on how he can help fix your issues. He does not talk down to you nor does he come across pushy. He genuinely cares about helping. His crew comes in and explains everything they will be doing. They are top notch professionals. My personal experience was my attic had major humidity issues which caused the AC and duct work to sweat. We tried everything but could not get it to stop until we met Terry at a home show. He came in and inspected and explained how he could fix our issues and was able to deliver on his promise. Our electric bill prior to having spray foam installed in our attic was averaging $550 per month. Now our bill is less than $200 per month. And we still keep our house at 70 degrees. We even cool our attic during the summer and our bill is still this low. I highly recommend spray foam for your house or business and Terry and his crew to do the work.

We had Mr. Green Jeans spray foam our attic and crawlspace in Mid-City New Orleans. Getting an estimate was easy. The crew was professional and showed up when they said they would. They treated our house well while they were in it. Terry answers any questions you may have and explains the process well and what to expect. Great quality installation! Would highly recommend and use again in the future.

Many thanks to Terry Villar and his crew! Mr. Green Jeans insulation did an outstanding job of helping us create a climate controlled storage room above our garage. Our house was not designed with very much usable storage and Terry's foam insulation transformed our hot and humid garage attic into an extremely comfortable and functional space! From the initial estimate to the final application, Terry and his crew were Top Notch Pros!My wife and I are very pleased with the price and attention to detail that Terry and his crew provide. We highly recommend Mr. Green Jeans Insulation for any renovations or new construction projects you are planning!
