NARI Contractor of the Year Awards 2008
"Grand" Award - Green Remodeling - entire House
At the same time that she accepted a two year job in Africa, this Takoma Park homeowner decided to complete a whole house renovation
(Green
Design Washington DC). She wanted the project to use sustainable materials and to improve the home's energy efficiency. Though we constructed a modest sized rear addition to enlarge the footprint of existing stamp sized kitchen, the majority of time and resources went into improving the existing home. Scope of work included wall modifications and the renovation of two bathrooms on the second floor, and a kitchen bump-out and the conversion of a sun room to a library on the first floor. Outside, we built a flagstone patio and improved the property’s drainage...

NARI Contractor of the Year Awards 2007
"Finalist" Award - Green Remodeling Certificate Program
Qualified Remodeler's Master Design Awards 2008
"Bronze" Award - Green Remodel
This project involved the demolition of a 30-year old, owner finished, attic built out as an apartment/living area. The attic is large with a thirteen foot crown beam. Although the roof slopes steeply to the soffits, the attic has a sense of great volume. Knee walls created a great deal of storage area. The homeowner's goal was to create an apartment for their grown children when visiting and a future house sitter in their retirement years.

This "green" kitchen has recently been featured in the Washington Post, March 2008 issue - "When Walls Get in the Way" By Scott Sowers..CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
The owners of this home needed no persuasion to remodel green. This husband and wife are passionate advocates for a clean, sustainable environment... The first challenge, staying within a limited budget, required, ingenuity, creativity and experience. Just like levels of quality, the cost depends on how green the homeowner wants it... The second possible roadblock to the design was structural: Could the walls be removed without damaging the integrity of the home? Researching and locating recycled and rapidly renewable materials from responsible suppliers was the third challenge.
The design called for converting the enclosed carport into an entrance foyer. A visitor to this home now steps into a dramatic entranceway, dominated by floor to ceiling space divider that is work of art. There is a built-in bench on the other side... CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
