Remodeling & Recycling

Art Wehnert - Tuesday, April 26, 2011
  To really impact green building practices, a major portion of the proceedure is recycling. There are two phases to this application, the primary phase being the disposal of the demoed materials and waste from the consruction site. The close secondary phase is the reuse of products still in excellent condition, either by donating to a local ReUsit Center, or in some cases reusing on the job site. A typical example is the reinstallation of kitchen cabinets in a basement remodel, or setting them up in a garage for storage components.


 
  With an open mind many alternate opportunities exist if we think ahead. On one of our current addition projects, we are reusing the soffit cover from the original back patio overhang on a new front porch to match and continue the style of the home. These are not your normal overhang soffits, but a full cover for the patio overhang. The new front proch will be equally large.
  At Country Construction we always dis-assemble when possible to apply these recycling techniques, whether they are kitchen remodels removing cabinets, or bath vanities and plumbing fixtures. In this case we are able to reapply existing products in another area and save the clients money on construction costs. If we can help you by creating a "Beautifully Built Dream", and save you on the costs, we'd appreciate the opportunity.
