What Evergreen Home Performance does

Evergreen Home Performance is a Maine-based home performance contractor founded in 2006 by Richard Burbank, delivering energy audits, insulation installation, and basement waterproofing services to residential homeowners across Southern and Coastal Maine (Portland to Rockland). The company's core technology stack combines building-science diagnostics — blower door testing, FLIR thermal imaging, and air leakage analysis — with specialized installation methods, including blown and dense-pack cellulose insulation, closed-cell spray foam with documented fire-safety protocol, Hydraway drainage systems engineered for Maine's heavy clay and silt soils, and radon-safe waterproofing that prevents soil-gas entry through drainage penetrations. Service tiers span $5,500 single-service attic insulation projects to $25,000-$30,000+ deep-retrofit basement waterproofing scopes, with whole-home retrofit proposals averaging roughly $12,000-$15,000 per project and rarely exceeding $20,000 for comprehensive packages.

The company operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market anchored on free in-home energy consultations; these consultations function as both diagnostic and conversion events, building a phased multi-project relationship per home rather than a single transaction. Evergreen serves as the leading contractor for Efficiency Maine's statewide rebate program, processing more insulation rebates than any other Maine business and handling all rebate paperwork for customers. Financing is integrated into the proposal through Efficiency Maine Green Bank loans (0% APR 1-year through 7.99% 10-year, plus 5.99% income-based 10-year terms up to $7,500) and NEIF EnergyPlus loans of $2,500-$35,000, with monthly payments starting as low as $50. The customer base consists of residential homeowners in older Maine homes (typically built 1900-1960) with non-standard construction, served from two offices — 190 Riverside St, Portland (HQ) and 315 Main Street, Rockland (regional) — with 11-50 employees including the highest concentration of BPI-certified staff of any Maine business.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis with no recurring contract component; one-time project pricing ranges from approximately $5,500 for basic attic insulation to over $20,000 for comprehensive basement waterproofing, with phased multi-project engagement within the same home acting as a partial repeat-customer mechanism. The company has completed 4,500+ homes across nearly 200 Maine communities since 2006 and was named top Efficiency Maine insulation rebate contractor in 2025.

Revenue model

1. Home Performance Installation Services: One-time project-based revenue from delivering comprehensive home performance improvements including energy audits, air sealing, insulation installation (attic, wall, basement, crawl space), and basement waterproofing. Projects range from single-service interventions (e.g., attic insulation) to multi-phase whole-home retrofits. Revenue is generated per project with no recurring component; however, ongoing maintenance relationships and additional project phases within the same home create repeat engagement. Pricing ranges from approximately $5,500 to over $20,000 per project depending on scope and home size.

Core offering

Evergreen Home Performance provides home energy audits (including blower door testing and thermal imaging), insulation installation (attic, wall, basement, spray foam, air sealing), basement waterproofing (radon mitigation, sump pumps, French drains, dehumidification, crawl space encapsulation), and assistance with Efficiency Maine rebates and Green Bank / NEIF financing for Maine residential homeowners.

Product overview

Evergreen Home Performance is a home performance contractor offering a unified suite of energy auditing, insulation, basement waterproofing, and financing services built on building science principles. The core offering combines Energy Audits (featuring blower door testing and thermal imaging diagnostics) with Insulation services (attic, wall, spray foam, basement, air sealing) and Basement Waterproofing services (radon mitigation, sump pumps, French drains, dehumidifiers, crawl space encapsulation). These are complemented by Rebates & Financing services that connect customers with Efficiency Maine rebates (up to $8,000) and Green Bank financing (from $50/month). The company's approach is to treat homes as integrated systems — using diagnostics to identify root causes before recommending targeted solutions across air sealing, insulation materials (cellulose and spray foam), and moisture management. The company also offers free home energy consultations and handles all rebate paperwork for customers.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• BlocPower: BlocPower performs whole-building energy retrofits (insulation, air sealing, electrification) for residential and multifamily buildings using diagnostics and financing partnerships — comparable building-science methodology, though with a different geographic focus.
• EnergyLogic: EnergyLogic is a residential home performance and weatherization contractor delivering insulation, air sealing, and blower-door/thermal-imaging diagnostics — closely aligned with Evergreen's building-science-driven retrofit model.
• Basement Systems: Basement Systems is a national basement waterproofing, encapsulation, and foundation repair franchise; Evergreen's basement waterproofing scope (sumps, French drains, radon mitigation, dehumidifiers) competes with and mirrors Basement Systems' core offering.
• Sealed: Sealed is a home energy performance contractor that bundles insulation, air sealing, and HVAC upgrades with rebate and financing administration for homeowners — directly comparable to Evergreen's whole-home, rebate-anchored model.

Regional players

• ReVision Energy: ReVision Energy is a Maine-based clean energy installer (solar, heat pumps) that already coordinates with Evergreen on integrated projects; it shares Evergreen's geographic footprint and overlapping electrification customer base but does not perform insulation/waterproofing directly.

Broad incumbents

• CLEAResult: CLEAResult is a large-scale energy efficiency program administrator working with utilities and state programs (including programs similar to Efficiency Maine), giving it deep overlap with Evergreen's rebate-driven go-to-market, though at a much larger and more diversified scale.
• Re-Bath: Re-Bath is a national bathroom and basement remodeling franchise; it overlaps with Evergreen on basement waterproofing and moisture-control scope but operates much broader, brand-driven remodeling offerings rather than energy-audit-first services.
