WHAT IS “GREENHABBING” AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? ERIC N. GEORGE
After the vapor barrier was installed, we installed spray-foam insulation onto the foundation walls and rim joist all
around the house, effectively “conditioning” the crawlspace and eliminating any air-leakage from inside to out.
This will help keep the floors warmer throughout the house and keep the homeowner’s utility bills lower yearround!
Every house we renovate we make a point to incorporate some, if not all of these aspects into them. Whether
they will be long-term rental properties or short-term rehab to retail investments, our policy is to address issues
pertaining to health and safety of occupants first, and ensure our buyers or tenants will be comfortable in their
new homes, with low utility bills as well.
”Awesome” is how one tenant described the comfort in his home over the last six months. That means a lot to
us, and we know it means a lot to those who are living in homes we’ve “greenhabbed”.
So why should you care about greenhabbing? Because it’s not only the “right thing to do” for your tenants and
home buyers, it’s also good for the neighborhood, environment, and ultimately your bottom line!
