Brandon
Moreau
Brandon has worked with The Breathable Home since 2006, and is one of the finest people you will meet. He is responsible for managing the crews and coming up with creative and effective solutions, whether it is how best to insulate a brand new, high energy-efficient home or a 100-year-old dirt-covered crawlspace with unidentified bone fragments. He is Building Performance Institute-certified and does energy audits to round out his multiple duties.
Brandon, whose integrity cannot be overstated, has become a strong pillar within the company. He is a license electrician and certified to install heat pumps. He lives in Whitefield with his wife, Alicia, and their pets. His favorite things to do include working around the house, playing guitar, heading out to the coast, and brewing up the occasional batch of craft beer.
Brandon
Maxim
Also known as B2, Brandon is our top spray foam installer and has earned a reputation for having a positive attitude and dedication to great work. He loves our new spray foam machine so much he has been caught (more than once) singing softly to it when he thinks no one is around! B2 has 3 children and lives with his wife and kids in S. Gardiner, Maine. He enjoys fishing, ATV riding and anything he can do with his family.
Garrett
Killen
Garrett has been with The Breathable home for a little more than a year, and has proven to be extremely valuable. He has not only keen insulation and weatherization skills, but has also established leadership qualities. Garrett is a magician with cellulose and insists things are done right the first time. He lives happily in Pittston, Maine with his wife and cats, and spends his free time playing guitar and fixing up his colonial homestead.
In Memory of Leroy Smith, JR.
Leroy was with us less than a year before he tragically died 2014. In that time, we got to know a kind, generous and talented man. During one of the coldest winters on record, he ran our spray foam crew and never complained or showed signs of defeat. After Leroy's death, we were able to witness how many lives he touched with an outpouring of donations and kind words from hundreds of people. With few material possessions, he proved to us that love, kindness and happiness are our greatest gifts. Leroy loved to play music, enjoy time with his friends, and to simply sit down and talk. He is missed, but remains a great and inspirational member of our team.
