Simpson REGREEN Project


Green Home Building
We have the unique opportunity as a company to remodel an older home in East Jackson, which over the years has become a hotspot for remodels in the area.  What’s unique about our project is that it’s “our project”, meaning we’re in the drivers seat and calling the shots.  And the first shot we’ve called is that this project will be what is called a REGREEN.

We’re also taking advantage of this opportunity by putting into practice the means and methods that we’re using on new construction, as well as implementing the proven technology and products that make a positive difference in the health of the occupants.  Although we would love to dive in and make this a priority project, we have several other project in place that are higher up the food chain.

Front of house (north elevation)The front of the house faces north and has quite a bit of established vegetation.  There is a large tree that we’ve promised the previous owner will stay.  We’ve talked about changing the entry door to the west side of the small shed shown in the photo, to make the entry a little more private than on the east side facing the neighbors house.  We’ll probably relocate the section of fence shown in the photo the east property boundary, and create a small off street parking area in its place.

The interior of the house is where we will really concentrate the regreening efforts.  It’s estimated that the original house was built in the 1950’s and then added onto sometime in the 1970’s, with a few other occasional small remodels since then.

Stay tuned, we’ll keep posting updates as we navigate through the Simpson REGREEN Project!
