Atlantic Weatherization LLC

Atlantic Weatherization LLC is a Salem-based insulation and weatherization contractor that also does roofing and window replacement work, much of it through the Mass Save program. The company, run by Eric Palm, says it's been operating since 1994. Its core work — attic and basement air sealing, blown cellulose insulation — gets specific, repeated praise. A late-2025 review described a Mass Save insulation crew that was "attentive and easy to communicate with," with a noticeable difference in the house afterward; a spring-2026 review described a Mass-Save-funded basement window job as "fast, efficient," with everything explained along the way. A 2025 review singled out a crew member, Brian, for hard work and steady communication. In a 2017 BuildZoom review, a homeowner described a dense-pack wall insulation job — holes drilled around the house and plugged with wood, done in two days — that noticeably warmed up a drafty home. The record also carries a recurring complaint worth knowing about: leftover nails and debris. A June 2026 review described a roof replacement that left "hundreds of nails" across the lawn, gutters, and driveway, still being found a week later; a 2022 review made a similar complaint in different words — good workmanship, but mulch and yard debris left behind that the homeowner had to clean up themselves. A separate February 2026 review said calls went unanswered after a reported roof leak, and a 2023 review described a crew that started at 7am, was extremely loud, and laughed off noise complaints. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. BuildZoom separately lists an active Construction Supervisor license for Eric Palm personally — a normal, separate license from the company's registration, not a discrepancy. A 2015 violation-tracking record shows a $9,240 penalty for a workplace safety violation; it's old, and there's nothing more recent on file. A good call for a Mass-Save-backed insulation job, where the reviews are consistently strong — but if the scope includes roofing, ask directly about jobsite cleanup and get it in writing.
