  I've been a homeowner for 21 years. In all that time, I have used dozens of contractors for renovation, HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing, etc. I can now add Dan Smallenbroek as only the third contractor/consultant that I trust implicitly to that list. Prior to working with Dan, I received an estimate from another highly regarded insulation company for attic encapsulation. In fact, that company's name was the only one I had heard from anyone I asked about potential insulation companies. The salesman was knowledgeable, but had a one size fits all approach. This other guy didn't try to understand what I was trying to accomplish and just kept telling me that trying anything else would not work. I called Accurate Insulation to get a second estimate to see if it jived with the competitor's. I explained to Dan that I thought I already had a good company with a reasonable quote but wanted to make sure I was getting what I really wanted. Dan promised to come out, survey my attic, and give an honest recommendation. With his help and collaboration, I picked a system that worked for finishing an attic. He spent a significant amount of time educating me about R values, the difference between blown in, fiberglass, open and closed cell insulation, and the rebates and tax credits for which I was potentially eligible. He was never pushy and not for a second did I feel that he was trying to upsell. The energy audit ended up getting me a 35% rebate which Dan facilitated on the front side. He also gave me the resources to help me apply for a federal tax credit which means the final cost for the entire insulation project will be a whopping 50% off Accurate's quoted price. This doesn't mean others will have the same result, but it's nice learning ahead of time what your all-in cost will be instead after the fact when you're not eligible anymore. The energy audit process means that everything takes more time, but it also means you'll probably make a better informed decision at a fraction of what a job actually costs. It's 91 degrees oustide right now. My HVAC unit currently sits in conditioned air space at 74 instead of 130 degrees and we're in the process of having the attic finished off as an office for my wife. I'd be remiss in not saying Accurate's energy auditor, Mike Sears, spent an extra 90 minutes post-audit going over problem areas in my house and offering his own insights for improving energy efficiency. The encapsulation reduced air flow loss by 31% which has to translate to lower heating and cooling costs going forward. If you're considering insulating your attic, I can not recommend Dan Smallenbroek and his crew with Accurate Insulation highly enough. Much obliged - Kevin & Diann
