Wrapping Up With Top 10 Green Remodeling Practices

This segment of Greening the Existing Home Webinar Series is the final and 8th one - after this post I will do a Final Wrap up with more detailed information on websites that we visited and all of the segments in one place.

In this video Michael Strong and I discuss a variety of topics including "Does Green Remodeling really add value to your home?" - And then these other topics

  • Michael's Top 10 Best Practices to Green Up Your Home
  • USGBC ReGreen Guidelines
  • NAHB Remodeling Certification

This is probably the shortest of the segments being just a little over 30 minutes long but is jam packed full of great information for anyone that is wanting to do any Remodeling in their home.

A More Durable and Low Maintenance Home in Houston Tx

Down here in Houston with our humidity, a high maintenance property is not only no fun - But it is also incredibly expensive over time.  If you are having to constantly change out siding, re paint your exterior or find that interior wood warps to make crooked walls and creaky floors, looking in to the Durability aspect of Green Building may just be the answer.

In continuation with the Greening the Existing Home webinar series with myself and Michael Strong we discuss how to take an existing home and make it a Low Maintenance haven for you and your family.

In this segment you will hear about FSC Certified woods, Building Products that promote straight and Durable walls/floors along with other things that just make a homeowners life a little easier.

A Healthier Indoor Air Quality in Houston Tx

One of the questions that I get quite a bit from folks looking to buy a home is that they or their loved ones suffer from Allergies or Asthma - So it made perfect sense to have a segment in our Greening the Existing Home webinar series dedicated to Indoor Air Quality in Existing Homes.

In this segment you will hear myself and Michael Strong with Brothers Strong discuss the steps you can take to create a healthier home to live in.

We discuss Low VOC stains and paints, a little bit about Ventilation and all of the other products that go in to a home that are known to Offgas and stir up those sensitivities that many of us have already. 

Get your popcorn and water ready!  It's about 45 minutes long but well worth the watch if you are considering making changes if your home.
