HistoryOurs has been a family run business for 49 years, with a particular focus on Energy efficiency for 31 years. I am an EPA Lead Safe Certified Firm and Certified Renovator. As such, I have received training so I will safely work in homes built before 1978 that have lead paint in them. You will not need to worry about lead dust from my work contaminating your home, as I will closely follow the EPA's lead safe work practices. I have received training in energy efficiency and green building from ENERGY STAR, & the U.S. Green Building Council. I regularly teach classes on how to live and build green, and on effective strategies to reduce home energy costs. I am a licensed construction supervisor, a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, the National Association of Home Builders, a PATH Partner (Partnership For Advanced Technology in Housing), & Builder's Challenge builder. I am well qualified to serve your needs for Energy Efficient Design & construction.SpecialtiesI specialize in remodeling your home to very high energy efficiency standards, and designing and building smaller green homes in southern Maine and southern New Hampshire. My Mission is to Design, Remodel, and Build Homes that are affordable, beautiful, comfortable, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly. I design homes that are economical, durable, and easy to maintain, and that will be so for generations to come. As an EPA Certified Renovator and Firm, I have received training so that we can safely work in homes built before 1978 that are likely to have lead paint in them. You will not need to worry about lead dust from my work contaminating your home, as I will closely follow the EPA's Lead Safe Work Practices. I completely isolate the work area from the rest of your home to prevent any dust from migrating to other areas of your home. I also provide walk off mats, so I do not track anything from the work space to other areas of your home.
