Go Green!
 
Before there was a catchy name for it, green building was established at Renewal Construction as a guiding principle for the way we conduct our renovation projects. Our commitment shows in the quality of our work, and recognition for excellence within our industry. We are especially proud of our selection as an Earthcraft Renovator of the Year and as a featured project on a new Discovery Communications TV show called "Renovation Nation."
