Five Tips for Green Remodeling

At Four Brothers Carpentry, it's no secret; Our team works hard to practice green habits.
Both on job sites, and in the office, our green practices are always a part of any project. A home remodel is a large project, and using some energy is necessary. So we encourage our clients to move into going green a few steps at a time.

 

If you are planning a home remodel, please consider the following five steps to help keep your project green, and your home energy efficient for years to come:

 

  • Reuse or donation of deconstructed or recycled building materials whenever possible.
  • Installation of energy efficient light sources and appliances.
  • Installation of energy efficient insulation and heating and cooling systems.
  • Use of green finishes like low VOC paints, cabinetry, flooring, and trim.
  • And finally, incorporation of quality materials that will last for decades, so that they don't end up in landfills!
