AtticDr

Great experience with Pat. Took care of my house for a fair price. Easy to work with and schedule the work. Would recommend to anyone looking to save some money on their energy bill should check them out

Pat was thirty minutes early, which was a major inconvenience as I was attempting to orchestrate contractors coming by for a zillion other things in my house AND still find time to eat lunch. When he arrived, he spent maybe thirty seconds poking around the attic, gave the outside of the house a casual glance, then proposed work to the tune of $ 6,000.
When you’re asking someone for $ 6,000 worth of business, at least pretend to care. Try to build a relationship with your potential client or develop some sort of rapport.
Needless to say, we are working with someone else. EVERY other insulation company we had come to provide quotes were significantly more competitive and made an effort to show that they cared.

I had to get the attic fan in my house replaced for the sale of my home. I emailed AtticDr on Sunday and got a call first thing on Monday morning. Pat came out same day in the early afternoon (because he was in the area) and replaced the attic fan. The service was quick and everything is working great. I definitely recommend contacting AtticDr.

We had The Attic Dr out today to install a solar fan and an insulated attic stairway cover. Pat was prompt in his replies when giving us quotes and details on the work. The workers showed up right on time for the installation appointment (after texting to let me know they were on the way). They were courteous and did a good job installing and cleaning up. For once, we’re looking forward to some 100 degree weather to see the difference in our upstairs and attic. I’d recommend Attic Dr if you’re looking for ways to cool down your home and attic!

When we moved into our new house, one of the only major things on our inspection report was the attic insulation. well the lack thereof. We are talking 2″ — 6″ depths throughout the house. That is not good! So I called Attic Dr. and Pat was able to come out the same day to give me a quote.
He showed up on time for the initial appointment and was very friendly. He popped up in the attic and poked around for a little bit and then came inside to check out the air handler in the hallway. Along with the attic insulation he also suggested a solar attic fan to help remove the hot air from the attic more efficiently which will help overall to keep the house cool.
The quote was very reasonable (which he gave me written copy of before he left) and the solar fan purchase and installation is eligible 30% federal tax rebate! He said they could do the install in two days. So two days later, they showed up again — ON TIME — to start the job. For me, being on time is a really big deal. We have three dogs and a ten month old. Being at our house when you say you will brings my stress level down a ton just for that. They got right to work and were done in just over two hours. Pat also weatherstripped the closet door to the air handler in the house to seal it completely.
Also, our pull down attic stairs were a little too long and kinda scary — well he fixed those at no additional charge! WHAT?! So awesome. I so appreciated the whole experience and am so happy we did this before it gets scary hot here this summer. Can’t wait to see the difference on those A/​C bills!
Great experience from beginning to end — no pressure to do the work or add more stuff to the bill. Just straight forward, honest work from a great company. Very impressed with how Attic Dr. works. Don’t hesitate to give them a call!

Here I sit… one hour after the agreed upon time for an estimate. If you can’t make appointments, and no-​call/​no-​show, don’t expect to get my business or a good review.

We received excellent service from the team at Attic Dr. When we were ready to have the work done, scheduling was done quickly. The service onsite was great. The team was friendly and thoughtful in how they operated, not to mention efficient! I would recommend their services.

Came out September 29^th, discussed what needed to be done. Still waiting on a quote… contacted via text per company request… ball dropped :-(moving on to next company.

Not much to say here. I made an appointment for August 1^st (took off of work for this) and AtticDr was a no show. I called and left a message after 1 hour and then after 4 hours of waiting. I was finally called back about 5 hours after the appointment to hear that 1) AtticDr would not be able to make it and 2) it was because he had a bigger job scheduled that he would rather go to!
So, he told me he would reschedule and despite me following up 2 weeks later nothing happened. I actually joined Unilocal today just to write this review because of how annoyed I am at being completely blown off for a bigger job and then never making the effort to call me back. Any communication was completely one sided and initiated by me.

My wife and I run a very busy real estate team and often need to find a variety of contractors for jobs on our clients’ homes. We have used the AtticDr and are very impressed. First, they respond to phone calls quickly. Second, they arrive on time when you schedule a meeting. And third, they do great work. Oh, and their price is very competitive!
We will definitely us them again!

Happy to say that our electric bills have definitely been lowered and the summer heat upstair home has definitely minimize. We have been very happy with the results from installing a solar fan and w/​a radiant barrier also with an attic door cover.

AtticDr is great. I called and Pat came out same week and gave me a same-​day quote. When I decided to move forward with the work they were able to fit me in right away. All the work was done quickly, and Pat and team were awesome to deal with. Will definitely work with again. Thanks guys!

I recently bought a house and needed someone to come out and take a look at everything as well as add some insulation in the attic.
Pat called me back right away and we scheduled to meet the same day. He was friendly, on-​time and knowledgeable.
They did the work the very next day and he even did a few extra things that he didn’t quote me on… for free.
I highly recommend Pat and his company!

Quick and clean service, easy proposal and quote process, responsive and nice guys.
I’ll for sure be calling back when I get a vent fan to prepare for the summer

Review is for service call only:
Gave them a call this morning, Pat let me know he’d be in the area that day. He called 15 minutes before coming by.
We chatted and he happily told me the simplest /​cheapest option is just to put a few little vents on the roof of my garage. Since it wasn’t anything requiring their solar vents, he advised me it would be cheaper to see if the carpenters I had helping me would just install them for me.
Always appreciate service professionals who help me out when telling me they aren’t the best fit for what I’m looking for. Thanks ! !!

first thing I need to mention is that I’m not writing this for any discount or any sort of bonus on my bill. I wanted to find someone who would quickly install radiant barrier and put in an attic fan because I was tired of dealing with a hot house. I made it a point this summer to lower my electric bills.
I called Pat, the Attic Dr. owner, and within an hour he was at my house and in the attic giving me a reasonable quote. We decided that radiant barrier (the foil type) would be so incredibly labor intensive due to the sheer forest of truss boards in my attic, he explained that it could be done, but would involve an enormous amount of labor cost. I agreed after he pointed out all that was involved, we opted for the radiant spray. He suggested to do two coats, add some more insulation, install the attic fan — all this should see some improvement in lowering the attic temp and my bills; ideally. Either way, I know that the investment was worth it, I have absolutely no shade on my home and anything to drop the temperature is worth the money.
Pat’s team was courteous, clean, most importantly they worked independently and didn’t interfere with my routine that day. He texted me when it was done, I came home and everything was great! From the moment I called Pat, less than 24 hours later the job was done… THAT’S FAST. I would highly recommend him again to other friends.

I am extremely happy this the service Attic Dr. provided. Pat returned my call right away and was out the next day to give me recommendations on how to best resolve our attic issues. He and his great team were out a few days later cleared the old insulation and applied a radiant barrier. And there was no mess left behind. Our house is already cooler and I don’t have a breeze coming in from the attic door. We are looking forward to seeing the difference in our electric bill.
Highly Recommended!!!

Found a deal on living social and had Pat and his team come clean our AC ducts and dryer vent. We figured they were somewhat dirty after looking at the return vent, but I was amazed at how much dirt and dust they vacuumed out of the ducts. I did have to clean up a couch and some dust they missed on the floors after they left, so they get 4 stars.
Within 6 hours of turning the heater back on the house was already warmer than it was before without changing any settings on the thermostat. Plus the house smells so much cleaner.
Highly recommend getting your duct work cleaned every other year or so.

I was referred to Attic DR by the Attic Breeze solar fan company. I wanted a solar attic fan and did some homework, and decided that Attic Breeze was the best on the market. I contacted the manufacturer who referred me to Attic DR. Attic DR is one of the few companies in town that both sells and installs the Attic Breeze brand fans.
I contacted Attic DR owner Pat by email, and he came out to the house. He talked me into getting a radiant barrier in addition to the fan. Pat was very professional in appearance and demeanor, and seemed to know what he was talking about. Although his sales approach was a bit more aggressive than I would have liked, I would not describe him as pushy. Pat was willing to work with me on the price of things, until we got to a number that we could both live with. Since I was already sold on the Attic Breeze brand, I did not shop around with other companies, but the price I ended up getting from Pat seemed reasonable.
When it came time to install my fan and barrier, Pat was there throughout the process. He and his assistant showed up on time, and the work seems to have been done thoroughly and competently. They did leave a bucket of paint filled water in my garage attic, but that is a minor error.
So far the products seem to be working as advertised, and my attic is MUCH cooler than it was before. Time will tell if I actually see any noticeable savings on my utility bills.
Overall I would definitely recommend this company to anyone considering a radiant barrier or attic fan.
