                                              AFTER:
We remodeled this home in 2004.  We added over 600 square feet and
changed it to a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home.  The green remodeling elements
we incorporated into this home include:
  • Updated electrical and plumbing service
  • Replacing old toilets with new water-efficient ones
  • Replacing all original flooring (including wall to wall carpeting) with cork
    and European laminate flooring
  • Installing solar tubes and many new wonderfully large low-E windows to
    bring in the natural light
  • Installing refrigerated air conditioning (to prevent mold and allergens)
  • Using water-based stains and non-toxic sealers in the new kitchen and
    bath concrete countertops
  • Installing energy-star rated appliances
  • Replacing old light bulbs with CFLs
  • Installing metal roof (long lasting and reflects heat in summer)  
  • Bioshield Clay paint
  • Recycled old kitchen cabinets, reusing them in the utility room.            
  • Native Landscape design
  • Drip system
  • Developed garden space, orchard, and chicken coop
