REMODELING
Over the years, we have remodeling many kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, family rooms and basements. Our process is simple: we meet with you to obtain a clear understanding of your desired outcome. We want to understand the changes you want to make, the way they will enhance your home and your comfort, and your budget. With more than 21 years experience, we will present you with some options on how to proceed with your project. We will tell you how much it will cost and how long it will take.
What is “Green Remodeling?”
These photos illustrate the remodeling of a kitchen using sustainable
building practices and products. It is important to note that in the
past these products had a premium price attached to them because they
were produced in small quantities; but now they are mass-produced.
The current prices for sustainable building materials are about the
same as similar non-sustainable products.
In the first photo, you can see that the entire room was gutted and
the walls and ceiling insulated with foam.
In the second photo you can see the completed kitchen. It contains:
- Bamboo cabinets
- IceStone countertop (made from recycled glass)
- Marmoleum flooring (made from linseed oil)
- Lighting fixtures use LED and compact fluorescent bulbs
- Low VOC adhesives and paints were used (VOC’s affect indoor air
quality.)
In the third photo, note that the flooring is made from cork and the
walls finished with American Clay.
Our goal as a “Green Remodeler” is to use sustainable building materials
and construction practices that minimize the environmental impact during
the renovation and during the lifetime of the space. We also strive
to deliver highly appealing designs that meet the tastes of our customers
while working within the specified budget.
“The Energy Audit identified so many problem areas. In the winter, my son's room was always cold, our master bedroom was drafty and noisy, and opening the door to the “bonus room” was like opening a freezer. Tom fixed all these problems with his sealing and insulation. In addition, our utility bill now is a lot easier on our eyes!” —Kate and Stan Roth, Yardley, PA
