Why Bob is so Different from all the Others…
PLEASE READ THIS BRIEF NOTE FROM PRESIDENT, BOB BIRD
I do not sell insulation. I am not a salesman. When I drive up at your home, I am not sizing up a prospective sale.
I do not sell insulation by the square foot. I sell solutions… solutions to your home performance problems.
My competitors are salesmen who sell insulation by the foot. Your attic is only a formula to those estimators. They will measure the length and width of your house and multiply those two numbers together for your square footage of attic space. That tells them how much to charge you. Some estimators will actually have a ladder to gain access to your scuttle door. Some won’t even look into your attic. Many will ask to borrow your flashlight. I know of NONE (except us and one other company) that will actually climb throughout the attic inspecting your home.
I am not an estimator/salesman. I am an educated, trained Home Energy Auditor.
I am not guessing about what will work in your home.
I am not guessing about what your attic looks like.
The “lowest bid” folks are purely guessing. Their sales model is selling x-amount of pounds insulation per week. Salesmen are on quotas.
Salesmen set weekly goals/quotas for sales. You may be a sales quota for them.
As you gather quotes, notice if any of the estimators ask you questions about,
- How long you have lived in the home,
- When the home was built,
- Home comfort levels changing with the seasons,
- Heating and air conditioning issues,
- Hot or cold areas in your home…
- In short: “Are they actually trying to solve your energy and comfort problems?”
Fifteen minutes is not a long time.
It’s about how long I take in my initial interview with each homeowner regarding comfort and energy issues in their home. In 15 minutes my peers have already written your estimate! Notice this principle: “A student rarely exceeds the teacher”. If the estimator doesn’t care to get it right – the installers probably won’t either. It’s your gamble.
Gone In Sixty Seconds is a good movie (I liked the first one best). One hour is about my average visit doing a $30 home energy assessment. Exceptions take longer. But I’m thorough – and thoroughness earns Bird Family Insulation an exceptional referral rating and customer satisfaction. You have a home energy PRO in your home with BFI.
FOUR (VERY CRITICAL) MAJOR AREAS HAVE MY UN-DIVIDED ATTENTION WHILE IN YOUR HOME
- Heating and A/C system
- Air Infiltration (through plumbing/electrical penetrations in walls, floors, ceilings) and around windows, doors, etc.
- Attic insulation, and the necessary prep work required in your attic.
- Your damp crawlspace, and/or horribly uncomfortable bonus room.
Because I’m not a salesman, and because I have made a sizeable investment of time and expertise in your house, your Bird Family Insulation assessment is not based upon a square foot price. Your assessment is based on the work necessary to IMPROVE YOUR COMFORT PROBLEMS, and meet your objectives.
Who’s Taking The Risk?
Because I am confident in this protocol, and my confidence in the professional craftsmen who wear my uniforms – I personally guarantee the quality of your work. You must be completely satisfied with our work, or you won’t owe us a dime for your insulation! I’m personally taking your risk regarding our performance and placing it squarely upon my shoulders. Being thorough and confident is how Bird Family Insulation has become Georgia’s Home Energy Pros. You can do it right the first time – by choosing the educated, trained professionals at Bird Family Insulation.
Choose someone else, and you take the risk with their fifteen-minute guesswork.
Respectfully,
Bob Bird
