Great Northern Insulation - Barrie, Ontario

2nd Edit -
I have to upgarde my rating to 4 stars.

Great Northern inspected my deficiencies promptly and returned within just a few days to redo all of the under sprayed areas.
There was no argument or hassle, they just determined what needed to be done and made the corrections.
I appreciate that they made the adjustments so quickly. I am not sure why this happened.
I think perhaps they assumed that there was more height in the roof purloin area. I really think they should add some guide marks on the roof joists before they start spraying so that they can see where they need to be but perhaps there is a good reason why this is not done.
In the end, there was no argument or hassle, they just determined what needed to be done and made the corrections.

EDIT - My drywaller pointed out how poor the cleanup was in several areas and how this woudl slow down the drywall installation as there was excess sprayfoam in multiple locations past the studs.

Another huge issue is the fact that the sprayfoam was under applied across both roofs and in multiple locations on the walls.
What shoudl have been a consistent 5+ inches depth was often at 4" or less.

Now my drywall crew has to leave the site for an entire day so this can be corrected.

I am extremely disappointed that I mention 2x to the crew about my concerns for the roof and no one from Great Northern bothered to check.
I had to email pictures of multiple locations before they agreed to come out and look.

The homeowner really should not have to get up on a ladder and poke around to see if the work was done properly.

Am trying to re-schedule the repair work with them, will update once this has been done but so far...pretty disappointed.

From start to finish a great experience and a pleasure to deal with. From Angelo Gabriele’s quote to date set up and installers. Fast friendly and clean, I look forward to doing bussiness with them again.

Great company and service with good pricing. From the initial quote customer service was fantastic. Jay and Ken who worked on our attic did a great job - taking extra time to answer all my questions, lay down protective drop clothes and even vaccumed up after they finished! A+

Our experience with Great Northern Insulation was exceptional. From the initial inspection/visit, communication that followed, the fair pricing and the day of service, it was incredibly impressive. The crew came and ensured that all of our flooring was protected and covered. This was done with care and detail. They also went the extra distance to ensure that walls and/or any doors that would come into contact with the hose were also protected. They were thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Upon completion of the job, they tidied up, vacuumed and ensured that they explained any necessary details. A true pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Great Northern. Thank you for a positive experience!

I am very happy with the service of Great Northern Insulation (from Barrie).
In just a few words: professionalism, politeness, and punctuality.
The team came in time, and they worked fast to cover with their own material the entire area from the door to the attic, in a fashionable manner.

I am happy to experience great service.

I have been extremely happy while dealing with Great Northern Insulation. They came out on time and gave me a quick and easy estimate. They worked within my availability to complete the work. The crew was friendly, and clean. They put cardboard down to protect my floors and wrap to protect coffee table and couch. When they left there was no way you could tell they were here. Making the deposit and final payment was super easy with etransfer.

I will absolutely be using them again!

The staff at Great Northern insulation are very helpful and professional. The initial spray in the house was done in a timely manner and was installed perfectly. They later came back to remove the old insulation in our attic and again their staff was very courteous and professional. We are waiting to have the remaining insulation added to our attic and they have been very accommodating of our schedules. I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Tyler, Derek and Dylan for great work, especially in the attic through the heat.

I was looking for companies that can improve my attic insulation in Richmond Hill. They had someone to come take a look at my attic the next day, took measurement and was told my quote will be sent by email. I followed up with them the next day and received the quote. GNI is not the cheapest but does quote me a reasonable price. I decided to go with them based on the great reviews on the Internet.

Emailed them and booked an appointment that happens to be available for me in the same week. I asked to call one hour prior before coming and they did. They arrived very on time and did a good job to make sure there will be protection and no damage done to the house. They put the hose through my bathroom window, as it's the shortest and most convenient path. I had no problem with it as they did know what to do to protect the window and the floor.

They spent quite some time to get things setup and prepared. Meanwhile they had lunch in the truck for about half hour too. That's not a problem. They continued and finished the job in a couple hours. Derek and Nate were the ones that worked on the job and they were friendly and updated me the progress for 1-2 times.

At the end, I see my attic insulation got topped up and they insulated the hatch door as well (as written on the quote). Although it's written to top up to R60, but I wish they have a ruler put up in the attic to show me that. They let me to climb up and took a look at the result.

They cleaned up after finishing the job. Of course I still had to do vacuum cleaning after. Overall I am happy with their job and would recommend them to others.
