We are driven by the requests from homeowners to address the current energy crisis and the strain on the working family. With our tools and desire, we can start by changing the energy usage in your home as well as the overall efficiency of the structure. Our goal is to match your budget with the most effective, safe, sustainable, and efficient building you can afford. Our reputation is based on honesty, integrity, education, and communication. We love what we do and do it proudly! We approach all our projects in the same manner:
1. Safety
Assessing the safety of a home is an important part (maybe the most important) of a home performance contractor’s job. Backdrafting appliances that may be sending carbon monoxide into the home, unsafe levels of formaldehyde from building materials, are all potential safety issues that a home performance contractor is trained to address.
2. Health
Indoor air quality is listed by the EPA as one of the top environmental threats to human health. A home performance contractor’s job is to ensure that your home’s indoor air quality is not a threat to you or your family’s health.
3. Comfort
Our home is our refuge. It should be comfortable. Drafty rooms, cold spots, unpleasant humidity and heat in the summer, poor quality lighting or incandescent lighting that creates unnecessary excess heat in the summer, are all avoidable unpleasantries. A home performance contractor can help.
4. Durability
Imperfections within a building, in addition to causing discomfort raising health concerns, can also have long term repercussions. Moisture problems causing rot in framing, or insufficient insulation causing ice dams, are among the durability concerns that a home performance contractor will pinpoint, then tackle.
5. Efficiency
Last but not least, home performance is about ensuring that a home is cost effective to live in. If a mechanic told you that a few simple improvements could drastically improve the fuel efficiency of your car, that’s something most of us would jump on. That’s what a home performance contractor does for your house.
