To push the sustainable building envelope further, we are performing a total gut rehab of a condex at 19-21 Judson Street, Haverhill, MA. We recently constructed two new Energy Star homes at 7 67th Street and 10 68th Street on Plum Island, but this will be our first Energy Star-rated remodeling project.

In late winter of 2009 we completed our second EnergyStar home for Crane Neck Investments, 7 67th St., Plum Island. The home is a center-entry, two-story colonial with an attached mudroom. It is of similar construction to the 68th Street house with 2x6 walls, Maibec, prestained shingles and Kleer PVC trim boards. The interior layouts are similar in that both have 9' ceilings with an open floor plan. The kitchen, with Legacy cabinets and granite countertops, opens to the living room, which holds a custom gas fireplace. A study sits next to the living room space.

In the spring of 2006 we began a project for Gary and Emma Campbell of Andover, MA, remodeling their 1970's, Tudor-style home. The Campbells hired architect Lawrence Reeves to redesign the exterior of the home.

We gave the house a shingle-style Victoriann facelift with a remodeled center entry, complete with a rounded copper roof. We matched the center entry with a smaller, side entry with copper roof. Next we installed all new Andersen, energy-efficient windows with several new box bay units incorporated into the design.
