Helping Veterans Get the Medical Care They Deserve

by Mr Green Jeans Insulation / Thursday, 29 June 2017 / Published in Event

Everyone shows their support for our veterans on special events such as Memorial Day.

However, many people don’t realize the daily struggle many of our veterans have when it comes to receiving adequate medical care for the injuries (both physical & emotional) which occur during their service to our great country.

Things are changing though, and Mr. Green Jeans is SUPER proud to be doing our part as a veteran-owned business!

There’s a special project going on in New Orleans called Project Legacy. It’s the new Veterans Medical Center in New Orleans (replacing the old VA hospital which was destroyed by Katrina), and it’s an exciting, “never before” type of project.

Project Legacy will be among the highest-performing VA medical centers in the entire country, and stands as one of the largest construction projects of any type in the history of New Orleans. The building itself covers 12 square blocks in the city and has more than 1.6 million square feet!

But while the facility itself is getting a lot of press, there are 4 quiet little shotgun houses right around the corner that you probably haven’t heard about.

These 4 little houses are now owned by the VA and are being totally renovated so that soldiers and their families have a place to stay during treatment. It’s a wonderful addition to help make soldiers & their families more comfortable during extended stays.

That’s where we come in!

Mr. Green Jeans is doing what we do best – installing fiberglass batt insulation in the attic, exterior walls, interior walls and installing closed cell foam on the sub-floor of all 4 houses.

Here are some pictures from the project:

At Mr. Green Jeans, we believe in working as a team to serve the soldiers & families who have served our country, whether that’s through special projects such as this, special discounts or opportunities to volunteer in our local communities. We hope you’ll do the same, and we couldn’t be more proud to be part of this wonderful project in New Orleans.

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!
