This was my first time working with ICFs and Chris at NY POLY STEEL was a pleasure to work with. He helped me tally my order and shipped everything promptly. Chris was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. He even rented me adjustable bracing. After completion of my pour I returned all the bracing and Chris accepted returns of all unused/undamaged forms and supplies. Now that I've made it through the learning curve of my first ICF job I will definitely use them again and NY Poly Steel will be my first call. FYI...

Amazingly in the winter I don't use heat and in the summer no AC!! It stays comfortable year...
