Having strangers working at your home can be nerve-wracking enough, but when that work involves drilling and cutting into your home, it's understandable for anxiety to reach new heights.

That's exactly what Bernie McMahon experienced when RetroFoam of Michigan insulated his home's exterior walls with injection foam insulation. Watching the RetroFoam installers remove siding and drill into his exterior walls and brick brought Bernie's stress level to a new max.

"Let me tell you that all of your fears about doing this project will come true," Bernie said. "Watching the guys drill holes in the house is nerve-wracking. The worries about taking siding off and drilling in the brick come to life. But after watching the crew work like a precision clock was great to see."

RetroFoam of Michigan has specialized in insulating homes with injection foam for more than 20 years, earning excellent RetroFoam reviews along the way. Our team works like a finely tuned machine -- every crew member knows their role and continuously moves forward until the job is perfectly completed.

A key part of their process is ensuring the home looks exactly as it did before their arrival.

"The way everyone was working, it didn't look haphazard," Bernie said. "Everyone had a job to do, and I was put at ease because of it."

As a contractor himself and owner of Galaxy Fence Services, Bernie understands firsthand the difficulty of finding reliable, professional workers, which contributed to his initial concerns. Yet, each time a mess occurred -- whether from drilling holes in the sheathing or injecting the foam -- someone from the RetroFoam team immediately stepped in to clean up.

Bernie's final wave of anxiety surged as the team moved to the brick portion of his home, drilling into the mortar joints at the top, middle, and bottom of each cavity for thorough insulation coverage.

"Now let's walk to the front of the house that looks like somebody shot it up with a machine gun. Anxiety level 100, thanking the Lord that my wife was at work," Bernie joked. "Now, another guy fills the holes in the mortar. I knew they would be dark, but I was hoping that they would dry before my wife gets home so she doesn't worry."

Bernie said that once the mortar dried, he could barely tell where those holes were drilled.

"I'm a contractor, and I know repairs and improvements can be stressful," Bernie said. "I also know how difficult it is to get good help.
