He was very knowledgeable and experienced. Gave good instructions on what materials to use to caulk/seal areas. Reports were very detailed. Have already recommended him to my neighbor. His price is very reasonable

Review by a customerin Chicago, IL Project: Home Energy Audit
Jim contacted me quickly after I placed a request on ServiceMagic. He explained in detail (by email) what his services entailed, what my options were and what the best choice for me would be (and this was not the most expensive option). He arrived promptly and was friendly and professional. I recieved his report the following day. I would definitely recommend him!

Review by Ron K.in Glen Ellyn, IL Project: Home Energy Audit
Mr. Clark was one of the most professional and pleasant contractors I have dealt with. Having gone through extensive work in my home over the past 3 years and dealing with many contractors, I was totally impressed with his communication, professionalism and thoroughness. His recommendations were not based on selling more products for him or any other specific contractor. He did not recommend specific contractors. He made himself available for future questions following a thorough written report that he delivered promptly after the inspection. I appreciate his quality of work and being here when he promised. Hire him if you want the best.
