What are the benefits of working with a local green St. Louis construction company?

There are many benefits of working with a local “green” company. First, to work with a local business in general may offer you certain advantages you may not find when looking outside of them. These advantages include: saving time and money, quality of products and establishing better relationships. Are there added benefits of working with a local GREEN company? Yes! “A “green” business strives to have a positive impact on the environment and community. It develops and practices business strategies that go beyond regulation and demonstrate commitment to a healthy and sustainable future. A green business adopts principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for its customers and employees.

Here at Rethink Renovations, we take pride in providing our clients with both the newest trends and energy-efficient sustainability. We are a St. Louis family based company that blends progressive ideology with traditional roots. Our mission is to work with a variety of clients and provide them with exceptional service. We want our clients to be proud of their investment whether large or small. We strive to bring quality to every space that will become timeless and captivating.

Because your home is a personal space, we like to personally meet with our clients and discuss with them their wants and needs. From there, we put together an estimate that we monitor closely with the homeowner to watch the budget. In order to better assist us on staying on track, we use a Project Management System where clients can track the progress of their home from the comfort of their own home computer. We offer secure online access where you are able to track photos of the construction progress, view the build schedule and approve change orders and selections. We have also made ourselves available 24/7 through the online messaging system so you can communicate with a member of our team whether you’re at home, work or even on vacation!

Going green doesn’t have to mean expensive. We strive to find the best and most cost-effective sustainable fixtures that work in accordance with your home and your budget. While constructing the eco-friendly home in Kirkwood, our client asked us to find, “A rustic element that was both natural and to be used as accents throughout the house” We located a beautiful Wyoming Snow Fence (fences that are put up along the roadways for controlling blowing and drifting snow) that provided the homeowners the exact look and feel they were trying to achieve without breaking the bank.

Since the beginning, Gail and Barrett have had a vision of green. Gail started thinking green with her first born son. She started to see all the hazardous chemicals in baby toys, bottles, etc. She started to change the way she thought about healthy living and really wanted to make a difference for the St. Louis Community. Barrett worked in Boulder Colorado and while there, he was influenced by the progressive green building techniques and sustainable living.  He moved to St. Louis in hopes that it would be come less of a trend and more of a way of life. In 2010, things really started to change for Rethink Renovations and we were awarded the US Green Building Council Nominated for Growing Green Award and it hasn’t stopped there! In 2011 we were awarded the Department of EnergyBuilder’s Challenge Award, 2012: At Home Magazine Design Award Green Construction of a Home and in 2013: Rethink Renovations Partnered with Local Expert to Revolutionize Green Trade Curriculum.

Going Green has never been a “Trend” for us, instead it has become our way of life. Choose Rethink Renovations for your next home remodel and let the quality of your life speak for itself.
