Sustainable Home Remodels in Louisville, Kentucky
Building sustainably is our mission. This comes to life in three ways:
Green building & sustainable construction, minimizing our impact, and investing in the community of Louisville.
Our approach to green building and sustainable construction:
The Basics:
Effective use of insulation
Choosing energy-efficient appliances
Installing LED lighting
Building to Last:
We promote the use of very durable materials that will provide long lasting use and beauty
We encourage a focus on the life-time or long-term operating cost of a particular material or system selection in an effort to make a more sound investment
Skilled individuals deliver quality service and long-lasting products.
On-Site Sustainibility
All demolished material is separated and ALL cardboard, metal, asphalt shingles, carpet and plastic are recycled.
We reuse and reclaim a significant amount of brick, wood, cabinets, and more.
We donate a large portion of reclaimed building materials to the local Habitat ReStore.
Buying Local
We promote the use of local materials in an effort to support our own economy and reduce the carbon footprint of material transfer.
Some of our local materials include:
Local oak, maple, ash, etc. for flooring and butcher block countertops.
Tile from Lawrencburg, KY and Crossville, TN rather than China or Italy
We can make amazing countertops out of locally-sourced recycled glass.
We constantly review the packaging on the materials we use to help source their origin to better inform our clients of a sound choice.
How we minimize our footprint:
Our shop is 100% solar powered
Our office buys green power
We recycle all paper
Our Project Manager Jason Halls home is 50% solar powered
Our President Stefan Rumancik has helped plant over 20,000 trees & his family maintains his childhood farm as a Wildlife Refuge today.
Investing in the community of Louisville:
As members of the Louisville Independent Business Alliance, we take pride in using as many locally sourced materials and vendors as possible. This not only keeps your money within the community, but it also provides an extra level of quality assurance. We have personal relationships with the vendors who will also stand behind the products in your home.
