The Challenge

A homeowner in St. Charles, burdened by high utility costs, constant highway noise from I-70, and an uncomfortable indoor climate, turned to Gateway RetroFoam for a solution. With no existing insulation, the noise from passing semi-trucks was a persistent issue. After the Gateway RetroFoam team insulated his house, the noise level dropped to zero, creating a peaceful living environment. Additionally, his first full-cycle electric bill post-insulation revealed a 28% reduction in electricity usage compared to the previous year, highlighting significant energy savings.

What the Customer Had to Say:

“Shawn and his team at Gateway RetroFoam know what professionalism and customer service really is meant to be. I had several estimates performed by Gateway RetroFoam competitors, and Shawn’s estimate beat them all by half. My home was built near the interstate and had no insulation. After Shawn’s team treated my house, the noise level inside was near zero. I no longer hear semis driving by and have reduced the volume on my TV to a much lower level. Being that winter is coming and the night temperature is falling into the 30’s, my home is now maintaining a temperature of 71 degrees.

We haven’t turned the furnace on yet and it’s mid-November. Prior to Gateway treating my home, the furnace would need to be on to take the chill out of the house and would run almost continuously throughout the day. Upon job completion, Shawn and his team meticulously cleaned up around my house to ensure they left no trash or scraps. Shawn even came back a week later to tighten up my siding that had come loose over the years (no fault of Gateway) at no charge. They just wanted to make sure we were completely satisfied. I cannot say enough positive things about this company and highly recommend them to anyone needing their service. Additionally, my first full cycle electric bill after installation states I have used 28% less electricity than this time last year. Having Gateway RetroFoam insulate my home is the best decision I’ve made this year. Thanks, Shawn!”
