Efficient Home Improvements
Undertaking home improvements presents a unique opportunity to increase the energy efficiency of your home. Utilizing a licensed Long Island Home Improvement Contractor, knowledgeable in building science, assures you of a great looking home that also performs magnificently!
I once had the opportunity to visit a home that had a very expensive, high end, major renovation undertaken. The home was simply stunning. The only issue was the utility bills skyrocketed, and the home looked great, but was uncomfortable to live in. The contractor and architect did a magnificent job, but they made the typical mistakes professionals who don't place building performance at the forefront make over and over again.
What a shame! You lay out your hard earned money on a home to be proud of, and suffer the high utility bills and drafts long after your awed guests leave.
It doesn't need to be that way. When you contact the professionals at Murtha Construction, rest assured, we will discuss building efficiency concerns before a demo hammer touches your home. Utilizing a contractor, accredited by the Building Performance Institute, assures you that building performance will be a major consideration in planning and undertaking your home improvement project.
Take the case of a former client who unfortunately had a pipe burst in their home on day 1 of a 4 day vacation. Imagine walking into your home, looking forward to relaxation after a long drive, only to find water running down your stairs and witnessing "rain" falling through both lower floors of your home.
Once the insurance claims were settled, the task of putting the home back together could begin.
Before the "disaster", the home suffered from uneven heating due to a leaky and poorly designed forced air heating system, and major areas of infiltration (drafts).
By taking building performance into consideration, the clients home was transformed into a super energy efficient engineering marvel that is best described by the homeowner as "delightfully comfortable".
Contrast this client with the unhappy homeowner that spent a fortune on their home and recieved a home to die for, with uncomfortable occupants.
