This project in Red Bank, New Jersey included a new kitchen remodel featuring wood cabinets with two separate finishes – painted and stained, hardwood floors, new window and patio door, updated lighting. Also the living room and dining room were combined as one room after removing the center bearing wall, installing new flooring, and installing new Andersen windows in a previously solid wall.

As customary for Mark of Excellence Remodeling, Jason Parsons, design + build specialist, created video slide show set to music was made to illustrate the transformation from existing to design and development, through demolition, and installation to the final views. These videos, 21 currently, are posted and Youtube and linked to our website. They have proven to be a great way for clients to preview the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Mark of Excellence Remodeling has been providing since 1987. Clients enjoy having their projects chronicled and showcased. This also makes it easy for them to share the experience with family and friends.

The social and economic benefits are far-reaching. The United States government recognizes the importance also and has created incentives through the Energy Star program. Presently there are up to $1,500 in tax credits available for purchasing energy efficient windows and insulated siding.

While interest and awareness of these tax credits are gaining, many homeowners do not realize that most window and siding products do not qualify. Only products that meet and exceed a standard that has been set by Energy Star can be considered for the incentives.

Mark of Excellence Remodeling, a Certified Green Professional and a newly state certified Home Performance Energy Star contractor, offers qualifying window and insulated siding products. The company’s trained design Consultants take the time to educate each homeowners on all the features and benefits so that might make the best informed choices for their home and family. The practice of green remodeling incorporates many considerations. Energy conservation is great importance with regard to future resources and current cost savings.

The best testimony to this business mantra is how long does it last? Is the client still pleased with the result years after completion? How have the project’s quality, integrity, and appearance held up over time?

We are pleased to share this project that we re-visited as a routine, courtesy follow up. The design + build exterior renovation consisted of an elevated deck with a screen room plus a ground-level patio. The home is in Middletown, New Jersey. The work was done seven years ago. Mark of Excellence Remodeling is extremely proud of our craftsmanship that clearly has withstood the test of time. The exterior work has now been exposed to the elements for 28 seasons. The client extends an open invitation to stop by anytime. “We love the work that you did. It has been quite useful and we enjoy it greatly and often,” attests this very happy client.

Here are a few current photos of the seven your old project. You be the judge. Please share your comments with us.
