Open and Inviting Kitchen Remodel
Mark of Excellence Remodeling has recently completed another dramatic home improvement transformation. 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.

Energy Efficient Windows and Insulated Siding
Filed under: Green News and Notes, Homeowner Information, Project News
Most homeowners today recognize the importance of having an energy efficient home. 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.
Below are a few photos illustrating the development process for an insulated siding project in Barnegat, New Jersey.
