Green Construction
Advantages of building green
Who doesn't love saving money? (HInt: no one).
One of the great benefits of building green is the long term savings by helping to lower energy and utility bills due to improved energy efficiency, which comes in handy during the frosty Pennsylvania winters, and humid summers. It also offers potential tax incentives, rebates, and lower insurance premiums for green buildings.
Another great advantage to building green are the health benefits. It gives access to natural light, improves thermal comfort, and enhances the well-being and productivity of the families who live there. It helps improve indoor air quality with the use of non-toxic, low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials which enhances the quality of the air you and your family breathe in daily.
We are happy to offer green services for all aspect of your project. From just properly recycling your construction debris, sourcing sustainable materials, to the whole kit and caboodle, we will work with you to help you reach your goal of sustainability in your home. Together with our partners, we are able to perform energy audits and upgrade your mechanical systems as part of our services.
Sustainable materials and construction techniques with green construction often result in buildings with longer lifespans and reduced susceptibility to wear and tear. In other words, the renovation you hire us for will last for many years to come and you won't be calling us next year to come back for round two. We will miss you, but we need to see other people. It's not you, it's us.
