Stone Walls, Patios, Decks, Driveways, Siding... ENERGY PROJECTS

 
"affordability goes beyond first cost;  considerations for greater durability, lower operating costs & superior performance must be included when it comes to calculating affordability."

 - Ron Jones, One of the fathers of the green building movement

 

"By the way....34% savings this month....far fewer therms and kilowatt hours so it isn't just a price thing.....that's pretty huge....it is the work that keeps on giving."  It is fantastic. I am glad I will be living here for a while. When you are ready to go, I will send an impassioned email about it all to everyone."   - See Graph Below

"Dear Sylvain, I wanted to write you to express my gratitude for what you did for my home.  My kids’ bedrooms were intolerably cold and my wife and I couldn’t watch TV in our living room anymore because it was freezing in there. You told me you could insulate my house to make a world of difference and you surely did not come up short. We don’t even use the additional plug-in heaters in any of the three rooms anymore.

The key is that you got us warm in our home again but it is also fantastic that we just got our December bill and it was over $200 cheaper than December of last year. That’s pretty remarkable. Also, your contention that fixing the humidifier on our heating blower would make the house warmer and more comfortable was dead on as well.

I am thrilled with the results but also want to tell you that the process was a pleasure as well. Your crews were courteous, timely, and worked hard to get it all done and be out as quickly as possible. They also were extremely clean and after spraying foam insulation through the attic, basement and garage of my home, there was almost no evidence that anything was ever done….except for the great results. And, it was amazing how they got into some very tight spaces to make sure they were ultra-thorough.

I also want to thank you for going above and beyond to seal all the windows in the house, fix my water heater, repair sheetrock in several places and weigh in on some plumbing issues we have been having. I love working with companies that I do not have to tell more than once to do stuff and Absolute Remodeling was absolutely one of those!

"Sylvain, the radiant heat is working great. Good suggestion and I am glad I took your advice on installing it."

- Kevin Longino, Greenwich, CT. 12.09.08

 

"I just got my ConEd bill for gas - basically cooking and hot water - $50.00 for July, and my son takes multiple long showers every day, plus there are 3 more of us, so we probably use too much hot water anyway.  My propane bill for cooking and hot water with the old tank was always over $100.00/month, and we would always run out of hot water and have to wait for the tank to heat up again.  Electric has been a bit high due to air-conditioning, but I'm convincing the family that 78 degrees is sufficient most of the time.  We'll see what the next bill says!
Whatever people can do to work towards going green is definitely worth it - especially if they plan on staying in their house for a while.  So, whether it's a high-efficiency boiler, tankless hot water, radiant heat, cfl bulbs, multiple heating zones, etc., it all helps, and truly makes the home a more comfortable living space."

"Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our new dry, finished basement. What an amazing transformation. I'm so glad we have the "before" pictures to remind us what that space used to look like! Your talented crew did an amazing job on everything - stone walls, woodwork, painting, - all was executed perfectly. With the large windows (with plants growing on the windowsills!), and French doors to the outside, there's so much natural light that the space hardly seems like a basement.
We also are extremely happy with our new heating and hot water system. I'm so glad we decided to go with radiant heat on the first floor, as well as the basement floor. The house was more comfortable than ever this past winter, and we spent a little less than half of what we previously spent on fuel costs - and that's with having an endless supply of hot water from our tankless system!
Thanks again for everything, and best of luck with all of your projects!" -

"We finally got there in the end. We are extremely happy with the final product. Friends and neighbors have all given the design and work very high regards. We are hesitant to call it a basement any longer because that will not do it the justice it deserves. In addition to enjoying the new space and patio we save energy every month with our new condensing boiler." If any friends or neighbors are looking to remodel we will be sure to tell them to give absoluteremodeling.com a look. Your website speaks for itself."
