Our garage has a western exposure -- as a result, we can hardly stand to be in the garage after noon once temps get into the upper 80's. Realizing at a minimum we needed attic and garage door insulation, I began investigating service providers.
Around the holidays, I ran across Stephen Tyler from Rite-Temp Insulation while he was insulating the attic and garage doors on a neighbor's home. A few weeks later, my neighbor reported he was still happy with the work, and I found a post here on TOTV (Another Option for Garage Door Insulation - Talk of The Villages (http://tinyurl.com/z2xz3os)) commending Stephen and Rite-Temp for work they performed at a member's home.
Stephen, his wife/partner, and their 5-year-old child came to our home and spent 1.5 hours quoting the project in great detail. The price was reasonable for our oversized garage, so I accepted their quote a week later. Within a couple of hours, Stephen and his wife/partner Andrea Mansholt stopped at my home and provided me with a precise schedule -- and requested a $250 down payment to secure the project.
That was the last I ever saw of Stephen Tyler or Andrea Mansholt. They cashed my check within a half-hour, then disappeared with our money. Drat, how could I be so naive -- providing a down payment to a contractor?????
Then I ran across Rodney Ward from Reichel Insulation. Rodney listened to my tale of woe and said he'd like to help us. He came over to inspect our garage and provided us with a quote -- then he said, "But, I'd like to do your project for the balance of what you were going to pay Rite-Temp."
I was surprised, but very grateful for his generosity. In the end, Rodney lived up to his word and provided excellent work. Our garage is 20-25 degrees cooler than before insulation was installed. Great outcome - all the way around.
Thank you, Rodney.
CLIFFS:
- I foolishly paid Stephen Tyler and Amanda Mansholt $250 as down payment for insulating my garage
- They disappeared instead of performing the work
- Reichel Insulation salvaged the situation and performed exceptionally well
- Thanks goes to Rodney Ward
