“I would like to express my gratitude to Abbey for being so polite and professional with her customers. Also, the team that came to my home was A#1. I have had several upgrades done to the home in previous years, such as Painting and Roofing along with new Gutters and now Insulation. Pete and the team were the very best of all and demonstrated professional excellence. I got the sense that they really seemed to care about my satisfaction. Everyone on the team was careful around my personal property, they cleaned up EACH DAY they were at my home, they were respectful of my elderly mother, they were quiet, and I never heard any foul language or rudeness. Andrew started this project with his assessment, attention to detail and true sense of customer needs. I guess I just want to give them a big THANK YOU for being such a great group of guys in my home. Bob, you should be proud to have such a team. Thanks, Bird Insulation!”
—Alan C., Stockbridge, August 2010

“I just gave a glowing recommendation of BIRD-Family Insulation today to someone who was looking for an insulation contractor!”
—Heather G., Atlanta, August 2010
“Bob, I really felt like you actually cared about the issues in our attic and just didn’t give me a sales job like the rest of my quotes. Thank you so much.”

What Do Your Neighbors Say About Us?
By · Comments“I liked the immediate and unwavering trust level I had with BFI, starting with my initial call to Abbey and home visit & assessment by Andrew, followed by watching the crew complete the insulation project. They are well educated in their field, competetent, thorough, hard working, great people. In all contact with BIRD-Family Insulation, I felt like their most important customer. When they were talking about my job, they were completely focused on my job. When they came to do the job, they treated my home (both inside and outside) like it was theirs – with great care and respect. I was referred to BFI by a family member, and will certainly be recommending BFI to others.”

I am a teacher at a small private Christian school in Fairburn, GA. Several weeks ago my wife commented that our house of 18 years “leaked energy like a sieve” and she wanted something done about it. I began researching contractors in the Greater Atlanta Area that dealt with insulation and weatherization issues and, after a prolonged search, felt Bird Family Insulation would provide the best service for my situation. After emailing them back and forth for a time, Andrew came out to the Newnan, GA area where I live and did a thorough inspection of my home. He and Abbey Bird, my primary contacts, were very professional and courteous and answered all of my inquiries. After spending about two and a half hours searching my attic, crawl space, bathrooms, and just about every other imaginable area, Andrew gave me a proposal the following day for upgrading my home’s energy efficiency. In just two trips to my home, the Bird “crew” came out and fixed every possible “leak” of energy one can imagine. They were timely, polite, and cleaned “as they went”. My home was actually “cleaner” by the time they left than when they first arrived! After “foaming” my crawl space on Day 1 of their assignment, I could tell an immediate difference in home temperature. After their completion visit this past Wednesday, the house was, I felt, “sealed” as well as it could be. I lowered my thermostat down lower than it has ever been at night since we’ve lived here (18 years) and felt, for the first time, no drafts, cold floors, nor discomfort. I have been amazed. Detailed pictures have been shot of the work done and will be emailed to me tomorrow, and a detailed receipt showing potential tax credits was included as well.
I could not recommend a group of people more highly. They did their very best for me, and I believe they would for anyone else as well.
Sincerely,
David E., Fairburn (March 2010)

Sealing/Wrapping/Insulating her HVAC ducts.Sealing the drafty penetrations where summer heat/winter cold was trespassing into her home.Attic contents were carefully covered while insulation was installed. Her knee-walls thoroughly insulated!
Very little pre-existing insulation. No wonder her home was hard to keep comfortable!
Fresh, 100% Applegate Cellulose installed to yield R-49 throughout!
More HVAC ducts & knee-walls insulated/wrapped, and air-sealing to STOP drafts & energy loss!
Her home will be dramatically more comfortable!

We have been pleased with the results of the work you did in December to plug air leaks and install insulation in our attic and walls. This took a lot of labor, and your staff was courteous and relatively unobtrusive. It’s been hard to measure energy savings so soon after a bitterly cold first six weeks of the year. However, I am certain that we would’ve spent substantially more on our heating if we lacked your product. As it was our natural gas consumption for the first two bills of this year was at the third lowest level going back six winters to our first one here in 2005. I also monitor the temperature near our attic apex, which is well above the the insulation. This temperature has gotten much colder than I recall from past years, which indicates that our attic insulation is doing the job by trapping much more heat.
We have been astonished at how much outside noise has been dampened by the said work, which is important as we live near a busy road. The results of the energy audit and the pre and post-installation airflow test indicated that our house is now nearly a third more “airtight.” We certainly have noticed how much less drafty it has been and thus more comfortable. I am especially pleased that our attic stairway and fan opening have good seals now. Although we have not regarded ourselves as having a bug problem, I must say I’ve seen only a few dead ones and think the bug-fighting properties of the insulation will really help us come summer.
I’ve passed your contact information on the several neighbors and hope that they will take advantage of the current incentives to help their homes. We received $1,000.00 in GA Power rebates, and I look forward to the savings we think we will realize on our air conditioning costs.
Thank you again for your service,
Sincerely,
Ben and Penny, Atlanta, GA
