True Building Performance

True Building Performance is a wonderful company to do business with. I had them perform an energy audit, and was very impressed how knowledgeable Paul Mandel and his team were. I was never pressured into having the upgrades done, and a few weeks later I received a written Energy audit. Paul suggested some upgrades I could do my self, and outlined other things that could be done to save on my utility bills. One suggestions was to have additional insulation installed, since I was having a lot of ice build-up on my roof and I was losing a lot of heat through my roof. This past winter I had a build up of ice on my roof, which leaked into my attic and into my living room and kitchen ceilings. I called Paul and explained what had happened, and he had someone come over and inspect my attic again. I hired True Building Performance to remove the wet insulation, install additional vents, and new insulation, as well as sealing around light fixtures on the ceiling, and installing an additional heat barrier around the chimney, used for my gas fireplace. While all this was going on I also needed to have a new shingles and some plywood replaced on my roof. During the summer we had so much rain, so trying to coordinate between the roofing company and Paul, I was always having to reschedule. What a pleasure it was working with Paul and his team. Paul always returned my calls promptly, the team show up on time, we're very polite, and always covered areas they were working in! I am very pleased with all the upgrades, and look forward to having lower utility bills! Thank you True Building Performance for a job well done!

We moved into our current home in Sept 2021. The first winter was painfully cold. After doing hours of research and general maintenance I discovered the attic insulation services of True Building Performance. Paul stopped over on a very hot Aug 2022 morning and did an inspection of attic insulation. What he found was destroyed insulation from pests and ducting installation. He informed us that we basically had zero R value in our attic. Pauls crew returned in mid September 2022 to tackle the job over 2 days. His team pulled the old insulation, removed and sealed the "attic/house fan", air sealed the entire attic, dry walled dead attic vents, and added insulation into the walls between our garage and main house. Once all the prep was done his team blew in 15" of blown cellulose insulation. Granted this winter hasn't been as severe so far, but wow what a difference. We are able to heat our house with our wood stove and haven't needed to turn on any additional heat sources. Updating insulation isn't the most glamorous home remodel but out of all the updates we've done in the last year the new insulation has been the most impactful to our quality of life. Thank you Paul and everyone at True Building Performance!

My wife and I selected True Building Performance to perform our NYSDERA Home Energy Audit. The owner Paul Mendel stopped by with his team and performed a full review of our home's energy efficiency. Paul was extremely thorough and took the time to explain each step of the process. Paul was more than happy to answer all of my questions and provide his recommendations for improving our home's energy performance. Paul's emphasis was on home improvements that would save us money in the long term and he was always clear about what improvements were worth the investment and what were not. We were so impressed with the professionalism and knowledgable expertise of Paul and his team that we hired them to air seal and insulate our attic. Once again Paul and his team did an outstanding job. Our home heating and cooling bills have decreased significantly and house feels less drafty in the winter. I cannot speak more highly of True Building Performance. My wife and I have recommended them our friends and family and I recommend them to anyone who's looking to improve their home's energy efficiency and save money on energy costs.

True building Performance's crew did an incredible job for us. The project was to insulate our home. These guys showed up with cheerful attitudes and completed such an incredible and efficient job. From start to finish they were friendly and interacted with our family all while working in the project. The kids enjoyed watching them work. They cleaned up after themselves too which was a pleasant surprise . It was also great that we were able to get more done than we had anticipated. Originally we had elected to insulate upstairs only but we are able to completely insulate the entire house, downstairs being from the inside. They have plastic protecting their workspace from top to bottom. Joe, the lead contractor is so knowledgeable and incredibly acomodating. Paul Mendel the company's owner is the same way. A great company to do buissness with. We are just overwhelmed with gratitude and amazement at what a difference we are already noticing in the reduction of street noise from the cellulose insulation. I would Highly recommend True Building performance to anyone looking to seal air gaps and install insulation.

There was a village of mice that had lived in my attic. Those who insisted on not moving on were eradicated by an exterminator and he recommended that the attic be cleared of insulation (and mouse droppings) and new installed. A Google search took me to 5-star-rated True Building Performance and Paul Mendel. Paul and his team were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end: they were were punctual, respectful, and considerate of my home. They were truly a team - they interacted well with one another, were respectful of one another, and were very, very knowledgeable and professional. It is obvious that their training was very thorough. Although I haven't looked, there is no doubt in my mind that my attic is a well insulated, air sealed palace in which mice will not want to live! To those who are reading this, I strongly and without hesitation urge you to use this company. I promise you won't be disappointed.
