Verified record
Metro Insulation Inc is a Boston-area insulation and weatherization contractor listed at 39 Wellsmere Rd in Roslindale, and the Massachusetts registry shows an active Home Improvement Contractor licence, number 117897, held under the company's own name. Its own website trades as "Metro Insulations" from 1625 Hyde Park Avenue in Hyde Park and describes residential and commercial blown-in, cellulose, foam and energy-efficient insulation. Homeowners writing about their jobs name Scott as the owner. The review history is short but consistent: Google publishes a 5-star average across 12 ratings, and the nine review bodies on file run from 2021 to 2025. In a November 2024 review a couple described the crew insulating their "very drafty 1884 Colonial", calling the work thorough and professional; a December 2024 reviewer whose job came through the Mass Save program wrote that Dwayne and the team were fast and that heat retention improved before they had even finished. The specific work described is insulation and air sealing rather than general remodeling. A 2023 reviewer on a full gut renovation hired Scott for spray foam plus blown-in insulation in parts of the house and described him as upfront about price; another 2023 reviewer credited crew lead Sean with explaining problems as they came up during a whole-house job. A 2023 review also describes a pre-installation inspection followed by written recommendations. The theme that repeats most is housekeeping. A 2022 reviewer who called themselves a tough critic said the crew protected belongings from dust after bad experiences with other workers, and a 2021 reviewer wrote that the crew showed up on time and cleaned up spotless before leaving. One thing to settle before planning work: in a November 2025 Google review, a homeowner who called for a quote reported being told the business was no longer operating as of May 2025 — the same reviewer praised Scott for returning the call and referring another contractor. BuildZoom's page for the company shows 121 projects, with permit records covering 34 jobs over three years in Needham, Braintree, Brookline, Newton Upper Falls and Malden, but it carries no customer reviews at all, and its "108, top 5% of 139,240" figure is derived from permits rather than customer sentiment. A 2020 commenter on a Reddit thread about Mass Save insulation also recommended the company, which is one person's word on a forum rather than a verified job record. For an owner-occupied older home needing attic, wall or spray-foam insulation and air sealing — particularly through Mass Save — the reviews point to careful, tidy crews under a hands-on owner. Confirm first that the company is currently taking work, and which address and entity you are contracting with.
“I would recommend Metro Insulation.”
FYI NO LONGER IN BUSINESS - I Called scott to get a quote but unfortunately when he called me back said they were no longer operating the business as of May 2025. I would personally give scott 5 stars for excellent humaning as he didnt have to return my call, but took the time out of his day to do so, and provided recommendations for another contractor. Thanks Scott, good luck in your new endeavors!
Dwayne and team were assigned to us as part of the Mass Save insulation program. They were awesome. Not only were they thorough and professional, they were also fast. I noticed a difference in heat retention before they finished. My heat is set to 68 and it’s 72 in here. Highly recommend this crew whether you’re going through Mass Save or not.
The guys did a great job.
We were completely happy with the wonderful job that Scott and his team did to insulate our very drafty 1884 Colonial house. They were thorough, professional, and took care in cleaning up after. Metro Insulation is an approved contractor with MassSave, which pays a large percentage of the cost, so we were especially pleased to save money as well as having this work done by an exceptional company. Highly and enthusiastically recommend!
I used Metro Insulation based on the positive reviews, and they did not disappoint. Scott, the owner, is very personable and professional. My home was inspected prior to the insulation being blown in, and I was provided with additional recommendations. Scott went out of his way by insulating a few sections inside the home, which were not part of the contract. I would recommend Metro Insulation!
