Constraction reviews in Corte Madera, California

Eduardo and his crew were beyond amazing. We had them install new r44 cellulose insulation to thermally protect our attic for summer and winter time. They also air sealed and re did the old 1960s duct work in the attic that was rusted and leaking ton of air into the attic.
Great job eco attic systems

Eduardo and team did an amazing job. Everything was done fast and with little hassle. He was super responsive through the whole process and everything is clearly laid out about what you are getting so there is no questioning about what work will be done and it's cost. Clean up after the job was phenomenal, house was cleaner than when they arrived.

Eco Attic Systems insulated our attic recently, and my husband and I could not be happier! Eduardo Fernandez and his crew were incredibly professional, thorough, efficient. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I couldn't recommend Eduardo and his team more! Where should I even start?
1) fair, honest, quick estimate process; they came in soon after the reach out; gave his honest opinion on the different options without trying to mislead
2) they even fixed something for us during the estimate meeting
3) extremely clean, created a corridor for the replace process; always removed their shoes; always vacuumed and cleaned afterwards
4) stellar communication from Eduardo's part
5) not trying to rush us in any way, shape or form; even doing a lot of the prerequisite work without asking for advance pay
6) super fast
7) in general going away and beyond (e.g. offering to help us with an unrelated task we had on our hands, for free)

Honestly, I'm sad they're not providing other services as well, as I'd hire them for that too.

All of my other Google reviews are strongly positive--I like to make sure good service providers are recognized.

I had a prior service provider do a bad job on my attic. Eduardo assured me that Eco Attic Systems would do a first-rate job.

Unlike several other reviewers, I had a terrible experience with Eduardo/Eco Attic Systems. The "firm" I interacted with does not seem to be the same as that described by other reviewers. In my experience, Eduardo/Eco Attic Systems is not a professional attic service firm. His behavior is erratic. It's an up-front payment scheme. Here is a summary of my experience.

Eduardo--very enthusiastic to bid on my attic rodent problem. My first visit with him went quite well.
* He came to my house promptly.
* He was friendly & eager to do the work, and promised to do it well.
* He proudly emphasized he brought himself to the US, learned the trade, and earned a California State License Board ("CSLB") contractor's license.
* He separated out costly attic insulation replacement from rodent exclusion (which gave me confidence in his genuine concern).
* He proudly described the unique rodent exclusion technique he developed (some novel mix of wood & concrete)
* He quoted a competitive bid. The only variable was the duration of a warranty. (Not in writing).
* He promised to provide me with a full written report, including photos, of the work.
* He commented on how badly a prior service provider had tried to do the same work for me previously, promised to provide me with a written report (with photos) of that work, and suggested that I report the prior service provider to the CSLB

After that visit, things were quite different. I did hire Eduardo, but the work was incomplete/incompetent (even he said that), and it failed.

* DOCUMENTATION
* I asked him for a written summary of the work he proposed to do. He would not put anything in writing. So I wrote and sent him by text message a summary of the work I thought the job would entail--he sort of agreed. But getting paperwork from him was not possible (other than a few logistics text messages).

* PERSONNEL & COMMUNICATION
* Eduardo did not come to my house during the two times his workers were on site.
* He instead sent 2 workers to my house--I don't know if they were his employees or freelancers. Neither worker spoke any English. I couldn't figure out what they would do or their progress.
* Eduardo did not supervise nor inspect their work. I wanted to do a walk-through with Eduardo, but he was not interested.

* PAYMENT
* Eduardo wanted full payment upfront. I agreed to pay half up front and half upon receipt of (1) a written summary of the work that was performed, (2) a report of the prior service provider's substandard work, and (3) a walk-through with Eduardo. None of those ever resulted and I never paid him the second payment--he dIdn't seem to care about that nor the work he did at my house.

* RESULTS
* There are several odd-looking wooden boxes sitting about my roof in areas where roof surfaces intersect. The wood color does not match that of the roof. I guess that is his innovative technique.
* The work failed after about 5 months--rodents returned to my attic. Eduardo was reluctant to do anything, but eventually made the drive to my house, I guess out of some concern for a warranty pledge. He walked around and observed that his workers only installed those innovative boxes at the attic level and did not seal ground-level holes on the perimeter of my house. So he and his assistant went to Home Depot to buy sealant. And did some sealing--I guess. Again, no report, no summary.
* It failed a second time (within the first year) and rodents returned a month or two ago. Eduardo has not responded to repeated phone calls, text messages, nor e-mail messages for 2 months.

* I will now hire a real and professional attic repair company to complete the job at my house

I checked on the Company and found strange results:
• Claims to be in Corte Madera, but registered in Richmond.
• CSLB license # on his own website is expired & for painting.

I’ve hired Eco Attic Systems twice. Once on behalf of a client ( they removed insulation pre an electrical upgrade) and once personally. I live in a duplex that does not have AC. During the June/July heatwave my landlord next door was really suffering from the heat. He has special needs and no family or support. Eduardo arrived the day that I contacted him. He gave me a discount so I could afford to insulate the attic that had very little insulation. (1951 duplex) He sent two guys that same afternoon to blown in 10 inches in insulation. A 5 star business. A business with a heart and willing to help.

We highly recommend Eduardo and Eco Attic Systems!

We initially called them when I accidentally pulled our dryer out too far to retrieve an object that had fallen behind and, in doing so, completely severed the exhaust hose. Eco Attic was able to come within a day’s notice and did an excellent job replacing it. While they were here I asked them if they were also able to replace our bathroom exhaust fan and run it through the roof. They came back the following week and replaced it with the quietest bathroom fan on Earth - we are so pleased with the results!

As we have an old house, we are looking to get the insulation replaced in our garage (in our quest to turn it into an ADU) and also finish our attic with stairs and plywood. When the time comes, Eco Attic will be our first call!

Eduardo and crew did an excellent job cleaning and sealing my attic space and installing new insulation. They additionally replaced my old dangerous vents with safe "Vulcan" brand vents that will prevent embers from blowing in if there is ever a wildfire. The price was competive and the work was done timely, efficiently, and professionally. I highly recommend this company if you need attic clean up and/or new insulation

Eduardo is the best!!

Eco Attic Systems very professional and kind and very informative. Had such a great experience all the way around. I highly recommend their services. Eduardo very kind gentleman, was very detailed down to taking pictures and videos for my review pre and post the work they did. And they worked in a very timely manner. And super fair with his prices. I greatly appreciate the top notch service I received. Highly highly recommend Eco Attic Systems.

The owner, Eduardo, is the main reason for the 5/5 review. He was honest, professional, reasonably priced, timely, punctual, responsive, knowledgeable, and an overall good man. He and his crew did my attic installation, crawl space insulation, duct work, rodent and air proofing. They arrived on time, sealed up the work areas to avoid dust, worked hard all day, answered all our questions, finished early, and cleaned up after themselves. The house is changed entirely due to the insulation installation. You can feel the difference. Cannot recommend this guy and company enough.

I met Eduardo, the charismatic, hard working, young owner-operator of Eco Attics, and out of 4 estimates I got, he was the only owner doing the estimates himself, instead of sending some flunky who has never installed insulation.

Eco Attics' bid was right in the middle, on the lower side of the range I anticipated. BUT: Eduardo was the only guy to explain everything in detail, to really educate me about attics and options. The research I did confirmed everything he told me. So, he had my trust.

They arrived on time, 3 guys were able to work via an upstairs front window right near attic door instead of traipsing through the house, and set up a small, effective plastic "tent" right by the window. Eduardo was there at the beginning and end, and he texted me a ton of photos plus a video of the work from start to finish so I could see the whole process was executed as promised, and then some. They used Knaupf R38 batts instead of blow-in R38, it should provide the same result with less mess, and I can't wait to see what a difference this will make. Even the attic access door was replaced, it was just a piece of wood, and now it's insulated drywall, painted to match.

My summer in this new townhome was murderously hot, and as it's getting cooler, the upstairs doesn't hold heat (it should be warmer, as warm air rises.). I'm expecting a huge improvement, as there were only poorly installed/insufficient batts and blow-in before, I assume batts were from 1966 when the place was built.

The whole thing took 4 hours (it's maybe 750-800 sq. ft.), including cleaning out all old insulation and debris, air sealing evvverything (this is important!), then cutting and installing new batts. They never stopped until they were finished and everything was cleaned up, and it was just one truck.

Eduardo made the whole thing simple, understandable, and fast-- once I accepted the electronic bid, they were here the NEXT DAY. Plus, he's fun to work with. It was a happy ending to a very frustrating and discouraging process of finding the right vendor.

Our experience with Eco Attic Systems was great from start to finish. We had to clean out our old insulation that was covered in debris from our roof replacement in preparation for an update of our old knob-and-tube wiring. Eduardo outlined the process clearly—the explanations on his website and YouTube really helped, too--and he never tried to oversell his services. His positive energy and commitment to quality made it easy for us to choose his services. On job day, the crew was efficient and responsive to our needs. The attic looks great and the clean up afterwards downstairs was impeccable. I highly recommend Eco Attic Systems—they’re a pleasure to work with!

We had an excellent experience with Eduardo and his team. We had fairly thin fiberglass insulation in the crawl space under two bedrooms in the house that needed some updates, as they were original to the house from 1995. Eduardo scoped out the area, showed us photos and video of the space, and walked us through all of the available options we had. We ended up going with spray foam insulation, and he and his team did an excellent job (laid down covering on the floor, put up plastic on all of the doors and sealed everything off, left the place as clean as they found it). I highly recommend Eduardo and his team for any work you need to get done!

Eduardo and the team at ECO Attic Systems did a great job removing the insulation from the crawl space and improving the foundation vents. This is the second property I've hired them for, and I would recommend them without hesitation. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and left the work site immaculate. Thank you, ECO Attic Systems, for a great job!!!

I recently had my foundation inspected and learned that Eco Attic Systems installed earthquake proofing brackets that were unnecessary. The foundation inspector pointed out that my house was already bracketed down so I paid $3500 for something I didn't need. I have reached out multiple times to resolve this issue by email, and once by phone because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but instead of getting an apology and a refund I got neither. I don't like to write negative reviews, but I feel like people should know to be careful with this company.

Had my home insulation replaced, as well as some ducting work done and I'm very happy with the results.

Eduardo and team were professional, kept the house clean with good prep(plastic liners throughout), pricing was competitive, and good communication from estimate to completion. Couldn't ask for more.

I've noticed significant decreases in my energy bills as well as much more comfortable temps during heatwaves.

Eduardo and his team are wonderful. When I noticed my dryer vent backing up with lint I found Eco Attic systems based on positive online reviews. They were a super responsive & I made an appointment over text. Quote was fair, they communicated well on arrival time and they did a great job! Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Eduardo and his team came to my house recently. I had my crawl space re-insulated with spray foam. We re-used the fairly new batting insulation to enhance the attic space. They also installed some bathroom fan ventilation ducts. Super friendly team who cleaned up after themselves throughout the job. I highly recommend Eduardo and his team.

I had a challenging insulation project that included air-sealing and installing baffles in a tight space prior to blowing in cellulose. I initially used another company that completely botched the job (failed to air seal the perimeter and installed the baffles in a way that rendered them useless). I called Eduardo at Eco Attic and he was onsite in 2 hours, he looked over the space and agreed to do the job correctly for the same price. Their team came out the following week, they protected the floors and walls and sealed off the area where they were working to ensure that the insulation wouldn't enter our living space.

They painstakingly air sealed the hard to reach perimeter as well as built custom baffles to ensure that the insulation would stay in place.

Excellent company to work with, great attention to detail and a very fair price.

The Eco Attic crew did an amazing job. Eduardo was punctual, responsive, and really communicative throughout the process. He helped us make the right choices for our house and I can honestly say it's the best money we've spent so far in fixing up our old home. It's made a significant difference in managing the temp in our house and we're grateful for the work!

Eduardo removed the old disintegrated "insulation" in my attic and replaced it with new insulation. I found him to be very professional and honest. His workers were great as well. They did their best to minimize the disruption that naturally comes with vacuuming out insulation and working in the attic.

I relied on online reviews to choose Eduardo, and he certainly lived up to the strong reviews. He's the closest thing to a warm referral. Don't wait. If your home lacks proper insulation, get it! I wish I had acted years ago. You will love the difference it will make.
