Remodeling presents a great opportunity

Typically energy, comfort, renewable energy, and safety upgrades are less expensive when done in conjunction with building expansions or modifications.

Along with a new kitchen, for example, you can get a more comfortable home, replace wasteful lighting with daylighting, install a hot water recirculation system that save water and energy, and make sure the materials used are low toxicity, recycled content, or sustainably harvested.

By having a home performance contractor on the team, you'll not only get an extra room but a house that's more comfortable and healthy to live in.
