“From the moment we contacted Better World Builders for an energy audit, we felt we were in good hands. They led us through the audit and then the installation of insulation in our attic. They went above and beyond sharing their knowledge at every step and did a great job communicating and executing. The increase in the temperature in our upstairs is almost unbelievable – warm and cozy. We happily recommend them to anyone looking to improve energy use in their home.”

“We love the outcome of the insulation project. Better World Builders insulated the walls and attic of our old farm house. The work was extensive and required multiple days to complete. Drafts were eliminated and improvements in the comfort level were immediately realized.

Better World Builders worked aggressively to meet deadlines, persevered to find solutions to problems, courteous and respectful of our home. BWB communicated well and cleaned up at the end of every day.

These were the right people for our project!”
