OTHER SPACES: BATHROOMS, KITCHEN, BASEMENT & UTILITY

Remodeling a kitchen, bathroom or a mechanical & utility space in your basement can seem financially daunting. Pinning down an accurate dollar amount for going green in any of these critical areas is easier said than done. The level of green that each homeowner is willing to commit to varies, as does the level of work required by each individual product. That goes double for basements, especially if you have moisture problems to address before the actual remodeling begins. Nowadays, many green building practices and materials are cheaper than traditional ones, and since green places an emphasis on efficiency, these projects tend to get completed quicker, which reduces labor costs. Green remodels are virtually guaranteed to reduce your energy and utility costs over time, which can help to off-set higher initial costs over time. Assigning value to green remodel in your bathrooms, kitchen, mechanical and utility spaces means looking beyond the bottom line.
