Replace light bulbs with compact fluorescents – They last 13 times longer, will save you over $75 per bulb in reduced energy used. Since our electricity in Boulder is mostly produced in a coal-fired power plant, that savings represents nearly 500 pounds of coal not burned, which means that 1,300 pounds of carbon dioxide and 20 pounds of sulfur dioxide will not get into the atmosphere. Simple changes can have a big impact.
Replace old toilets with low-flow design – If your toilets are very old, chances are they use much more water than necessary, up to seven gallons to flush, while a new one will use 1.6 gallons or less. If your toilet leaks, it could be wasting thousands of gallons of water per year. These are just some of the reasons to update your bathroom.
On D’mand Hot Water - Just press a button for hot water, rather than wasting water, energy and time while waiting for hot water to reach your faucet. The cold water is recycled back to the hot water heater through the cold water line, and the system automatically turns off when the water at your faucet is hot. Pays for itself in a few years through water and fuel savings, and makes an interesting conversation piece with houseguests.
Bathroom Remodel - Have the bathroom you’ve always dreamed of with a tub or shower that fits your needs. We can incorporate several new water-saving technologies and conveniences into the design, while incorporating your favorite colors and styles to showcase your unique sense of style.
Kitchen Remodel - Why does everyone at the party end up talking in the kitchen, when there is plenty of space in the living room? Until we unravel this mystery you might as well build your dream kitchen, since the needs of your family may have changed since it was originally built. You can also get rid of those formaldehyde laden MDF Cabinets, and improve your indoor air quality at the same time.
Basement Rejuvenation - The basement can become a favorite area in the house. From a simple coat of paint and some nice floor covering to a whole remodel to meet your family’s needs, we can help you achieve the look you dream of, using cost effective eco-friendly building materials and low-VOC paints.
Composite Decks – Recycled plastic decking has similar installation costs to wood, but lasts many times longer, won’t warp, crack or splinter, and stays cooler in the sun. It can be purchased in a variety of colors, and never needs to be painted or stained, saving you time and effort, and keeping more toxic chemicals away from your home. And because it uses recycled plastic bags and soda bottles mixed with sawdust, it saves our planet a truckload of old-growth forest.
