How we work

You get a written quote before anyone picks up a tool.

We come and look at the job, then put a price in writing with the work set out line by line. No hourly guesswork, no invoice that arrives bigger than the conversation.

If something is found once the wall is open — rot behind a tub, a joist that has moved — it is priced as a written change order and you decide before we carry on.

Walk-through

We come out, look properly, and measure.

Written quote

Line by line, fixed, with what is excluded.

Scheduled work

Dates agreed up front and kept.

Final walk-through

We walk it with you before the last payment.

Rebates, grants and financing

There is money for insulation and heating work in Michigan. Most people never find out.

Four separate programs pay toward insulation, air sealing, heating and appliances. One has no income test at all. One can cover the whole job. Which fits depends on who bills you for gas and how old the house is — and finding out costs nothing.

MiHER

State and federal money for insulation, air sealing, heating and appliances. For lower-income households it can cover the whole job.

How it works →

Consumers Energy rebates

Rebates on insulation, air sealing, duct work and heating — with no income test at all. If Consumers Energy bills you, you are eligible.

How it works →

Michigan Saves

Not a rebate — a low-rate loan that covers whatever the rebates do not, paid straight to us when the job is done.

How it works →

Weatherization Assistance

Federally funded weatherization at no cost to the household, delivered locally by Capital Area Community Services.

Building science

Our owner is a BPI Certified Building Analyst Technician.

Through the Consumers Energy program delivered by Walker-Miller Energy Services at Jackson College. Three credentials, and they are not interchangeable — each one lets us do something the one before it does not. Three more of our team are working through the same program and their results are not in yet.

How heat, air and moisture actually move through a house — the foundation the other two are built on.

Not a field certification on its own. It is the groundwork.
