Ian- Just a short note to thank you for your assistance in getting the work done so quickly. the two guys that showed up on Monday were very efficient and left nothing but the finished insulation (meaning they covered everything before spraying then cleaned it all up and left). i need to thank Kelly of the Gravenhurst office for following up to ensure everything was done to our satisfaction, and it was. we couldn't be happier.

I had expected the installers to arrive between 7:30 and 8:00 am and learned when I called the office that I was scheduled for 10:00am. Otherwise, my experience with the company has been excellent. The scheduling issue wasn’t a problem for me but could be for others.

The installers for both the foam and batting insulation jobs were punctual, knowledgeable and courteous. Response time to invoicing inquiries has been prompt. I would definitely recommend your company to others.

We were completely satisfied with our interactions with GNI.

The original assessment was handled quite efficiently by the Sales Rep., all our questions and concerns were dealt with. The appt. was set to our needs.

The service team arrived a little early and were very efficient. They advised of all the steps they would take and the entire activity went off without a hitch. They provided all information required and requested.

They also took the time to clean up after the installation and ensured we had no further questions or concerns.

A very seamless process for us.

Thanks to all involved for making this a positive experience and we will certainly recommend your company to any who ask our opinion.

insulation for a century home

Best decision ever to use this company! Initially I was concerned about the cost, but the product and the company were a perfect fit for what needed to be done. Dan and Nick were efficient, professional and their work ethic was really applaudeable. The insulation itself has caused my house to be warm even without the furnace running . I was fortunate that I was able to find a way to cover cost, but what I know now would have me find a way no matter what to use the spray foam. Thanks Dan and Nick!

The job was very good, as a project manager in the construction industry, I felt it was very smooth from start to end. Davis was knowledgable and available to chat about changes we wanted. The installers were top notch and took great care to protect the place. The only concern, which isn’t really a concern is that there were a few staples left around the door and I caught my clothes on them and cut my finger, they were work clothes and I’m used to getting scraps.

Great job. We will be calling you to work out a schedule for the next reno in the new year, 4 times the size of this small one.

we were very satisfied. They came and measured up at the time they quoted us and were back in touch very quickly. The insulator fellows came at the time they said, they covered up the windows and doors, they worked well together and no one was at one another, they cleaned up after themselves and put it in the garbage container, and the fellows that blew were great and they did it fast and thorough and were gone before noon. My husband gave them the cheque and they left.
My husband went and got the board and they are putting that on the walls today.
This is my early Christmas gift to myself as we have 25 immediate family so it is too many for one table and so the garage is going to be another room for entertaining as well as putting a vehicle in when not needed.
Thank you very much for taking one payment.
We will recommend you as we did before.
We wish you and the people of Great Northern a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
