For contractors

Partner With Us on Illinois Multifamily Work

We take on more multifamily weatherization than our own crews can run, and we would rather hand it to a few subcontractors we trust than to whoever is available. If that is your kind of work, tell us about your crew.

What we look for

Crews who show up, protect an occupied building, and document what they did. Multifamily work is not harder than single-family work, but it is less forgiving: you are working around residents, common areas, and a program file that has to match the job.

  • Self-performing crews in insulation, air sealing, duct work, ventilation, or general weatherization
  • General liability and workers compensation coverage that is current
  • Comfortable working in occupied buildings and coordinating unit access with management
  • Willing to photograph work areas before and after, because the program file requires it
  • Based in or working across northern Illinois

What you get from working with us

The reason contractors take program-funded work and then quit is almost always the paperwork, not the work. Pre-approval has to be filed before anyone touches the building, documentation has to be captured during the job in the right form, and a missing photo can hold up a file for weeks.

We handle that side. Our team files the pre-approval, keeps the documentation the program requires, coordinates the post-installation inspection, and submits the final package. You run the crew and hit the spec.

  • Scopes that are reviewed and approved before you mobilize
  • The utility program file prepared and submitted by our team
  • Payment terms stated in writing before the first job, not after
  • Work concentrated across Chicagoland and northern Illinois rather than scattered
  • A named point of contact rather than a dispatch queue

How the process works

Send the form below and we will reply either way. If there is a fit, we ask for your certificates of insurance and any licences that apply to your scope, then walk one job together before anything larger. That first job is how both sides find out whether this works, and we would rather find out on one building than on twelve.

We are not looking for a bid list. We are looking for a small number of crews we can hand work to repeatedly and stop worrying about.

What this is not

Being honest about this saves everyone time. This is not a lead-sharing arrangement, and it is not a franchise or a licence to use our name or our program authorizations. Submitting the form does not create a contract, does not guarantee work, and does not put you in a program.

Our authorizations are ours and do not transfer to a subcontractor. Work performed under a utility program is delivered under our participation and to that program's specification. If you want your own authorization, apply to the utility directly, and we will tell you who to talk to.

The programs this work is funded through

  • ComEd. Authorized participating contractor, Energy Efficiency Program.
  • Nicor Gas. Authorized participating contractor, energySMART and weatherization.
  • Peoples Gas. Authorized participating contractor, energy efficiency rebates.
  • North Shore Gas. Authorized participating contractor, rebate program.

These are the utility programs we are authorized to work in. The program names and marks belong to their owners, their appearance here is not an endorsement, and participation does not determine whether a specific property qualifies. Eligibility is confirmed by a property-specific review.
