Ecomax Spray Foam

Ecomax Spray Foam — trading on its directory profiles as Ecomax Insulation, Inc. — works out of 51 Redfield Rd in Cherry Valley, the village in Leicester just west of Worcester, and does one thing: insulation, with closed-cell spray foam at the centre of it. Reviewers name the same two people over and over, Marcio and Erica (also written Herika), and describe them as the owners working the job and the front office respectively. The written record is unusually long for a small firm — 27 reviews running from 2017 to 2026 across five platforms — and unusually consistent. Angi and HomeAdvisor each publish 5.0 from 20 ratings (the same review base mirrored on both sites, not two), and Google publishes 5.0 from 8. What customers describe is narrow and repeatable: closed-cell foam in attics, basements and crawl spaces, fiberglass torn out and replaced with foam, and old insulation hauled away. In a 2022 review a homeowner said Marcio was there both to give the estimate and on the day of the job; in a 2021 review a customer whose previous contractor had disappeared for weeks said Ecomax estimated, started promptly and finished a three-day job inside a week; a 2022 reviewer described a 100-year-old fieldstone basement that came out warm and usable. A 2017 crawl-space customer paid $1,200 for five inches of closed cell and called the pricing the best they found. Two things are worth reading carefully rather than at face value. Several of the newer Google reviews are not from homeowners at all — a 2025 reviewer writes "We've worked with Eco Maxx on several of our jobs" and a 2024 reviewer identifies as "a home remodeling company" — so part of the recent five-star weight is trade-partner praise, which says something real about reliability on a job site but is not a customer's account of hiring them for their own house. And the licence claim visible here is a directory one: BBB lists registration 188526 from the Office of Consumer Affairs & Business Regulations against this business, which is not the same as the state registry confirming it. Confirm the registration directly with the state before signing. The single dissenting note in nine years is a 2021 four-star review that said the insulation was done well and the crew arrived and finished on time, but that cleanup "could have done better" — and cleanup is, notably, the thing most other reviewers praise, so it reads as one job rather than a pattern. The right call for a Worcester-area homeowner who wants a small owner-run crew for a defined spray-foam or fiberglass-replacement job — and who checks the OCABR registration themselves and asks for a recent residential reference rather than a contractor one.
