Banker Insulation

We always have great experiences with Baker Insulation. They are true professionals that we can trust around our clients. Thank you for taking care of our insulation needs in a professional and print manner.

This may seem an unusual 5 star review, in that I didn't buy anything from Marty M., and he didn't even want to sell me anything ... but the company earned my raves ... and here's why:

Termite company told me my attic insulation looked weird when they were up there inspecting. I mentioned that the A/C hadn't been cooling properly for months, but my A/C maintenance co. (of 11 years) couldn't find a specific problem. Termite guys recommended Marty - the insulation guy.

Marty asked a lot of questions about renovations over the years. Marty went into the attic ... came down ... went BACK INTO THE ATTIC ... came down AGAIN ... asked me to turn on the A/C ... went back up ...

... and informed me that I have a poorly repaired multi-inch hole in the main air duct that has been busy air conditioning dead attic space for ... how long? I guess nobody else ever saw it because they never crawled to the very end of the catwalk, or turned the A/C on while they were in the attic to observe airflow anomalies. He said the bad patch was just flapping in the breeze when he went up the last time. Marty told me my insulation looked okay ... I should just get the hole fixed and see if it solved my problem.

Marty has earned my respect, and my gratitude. He could probably have talked me into some more insulation, fixed the hole while he was up there ... how the heck would I have known?

Instead, he was thorough, he was honest (even when it didn't serve his interests), I got the answer to my problem, and I didn't pay him a penny for any of it.

When I actually NEED insulation, I'll be looking for Marty M!

Thanks to Jason for taking the time to explain the different insulation options and what I may need to explore for soundproofing the shared walls with the neighbor's AirBnB. Even though this will turn into a bigger project, and Banker doesn't perform that particular service, he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. I will recommend Banker to others.

Hired them to add attic insulation. Service crew is five stars. Showed up within fifteen minutes of scheduled time (house is hard to find), covered all areas that they had to traverse inside the house with plastic drop cloths, and were concientious to make sure that their equipment stayed on the plastic at all times. Encouraged me to go into the attic and check their work too. Made sure that they left the house as spotless as possible. Scheduler was very good about going over all forms that had to be filled out and returned prior to work commencing.

Reason for four stars vs five is that their estimator was here for less than ten minutes and not communicative while on premises. He called later in the day to go over the estimate and SRP rebate.

Could not be happier with the price, response and service. Jose and Marcos did an outstanding job in a professional manner. Very thorough in their work. Would highly recommend them to anyone for blowing insulation into your attic. They even fixed ducting that was coming apart fixed other items I didn't know were there. Great job guys. Keep up the great work.

Forgot to mention Jason Waggener and the great job he did as the Sales Rep. answered all my questions and got back to me quickly. Great job Jason as well.

Got a quotefor $1200 and I ended up doing the fiberglass wall batts myself because I installed some air conditioning returns in my living room and bedroom. I gave them three calls to ask about how much it would be to blow in cellulose. They never got back to me. Very disappointing service. I would not recommend. What I would recommend is, doing it yourself. All I was $400. They could of at least called me back haha but they made it easy for me to decide to do it myself so good on them for that lol!

My husband scheduled the install and dealt with the whole thing but he was very impressed! And if you please my high expectations husband then a job well done!!
Professional crew and I couldn't even believe how little clean up was needed after they finished the job. I was expecting to come home to a disaster but nope, hardly any mess at all:-))
Highly recommend!

Banker came out to do a bid on some additional cellulose insulation in our attic. Instead, based on recommendation by Grant Gosselin due to the allergy issues I have, as well, poor attic design (which had little/no insulation in spots) we did Spray Foam Insulation. Let me tell you, amazing.

There was 2 step process, the first part went well and our whole home was slated the week after Memorial Day. Due to some scheduling issues, there were delays which could have pushed the Foam for an entire week. Grant stepped up and got 2 crews on a Saturday to complete the job. As well, we had 2 additional visits to clean up some issues While the issues were minor, Grant and Banker got everything taken care of with flying colors!

Now our AC is running at a max 5-7hrs a day (compared to 24x7) during the heat. The energy savings is amazing and I would highly recommend anyone in the valley to consider spray foam. While it costs more up front (and there is some HVAC work to be done) the long term savings are incredible!

I had 3 homes insulation updated, the workers were on time and courteous, they explained what they were doing. They took before and after photos they put plastic down and kept the mess to a minimum, I thought that their prices were very fair and competitive.

I had a bid done and after a couple weeks I called back to have the work done, and the person that did the bid wasn't there any more. (should have been a red flag). So I was told to call another person. I called and left a message, I hear back from him a week later... he told me they would honor the bid but would need a faxed copy of it, it being 2010 I asked if I could email him the original bid that was EMAILED TO ME? He said that he didn't have email so no, I would need to fax it like it was 1993. I did that and didn't hear back form him... and didn't hear back from him... finally I called and left a message again, and I didn't hear back from him. FINALLY, after calling twice I cot a hold of him... He said, he would have the installation people give me a call. They did and set an appointment. The day before the appointment, I got a call from a Baker secretary asking for my credit card information... ? I asked why and she explained that they were going to need to have it to pay for the insulation, i asked if we would pay when the work was done? She said, no it works better if they take my credit card... So i agreed BUT stressed the fact that I did not what to be changed for work that was not done yet... as you can probably guess, they went a head a charged my card. I called and asked why they ran my card... she explained that it was company policy. I talked to another sales guy who said there was nothing he could do... I left a message for "Mr. Fax" and still have not heard back.

The next day I get a call 3 hours before the appointment saying that they are at our house ready to do the insulation. I explain that the appointment is in 3 hours and that no one will be there until the allotted time, as it was a APPOINTMENT. He is a little miffed because he was about to get out early for the day but instead has to go and pick his nose for 3 hours...

Over all Banker was a disaster... I would not recommend using them to put insulation in a dog house.
