Luke Steckel Enterprises performed as the general contractor on this large, custom, renovation project of an existing home which was being renovated by JP Styles Interiors.

This client had major ice-dam last year due to roof design, so we demo existing dormer and we redid the entire dormer with new roof line, we also relocated all the fixtures inside bathroom. The project was performed in 5 weeks as promised to client.

We worked along side a homeowner/designer on this project to perform a moderate remodel of the guest bathroom and a complete overhaul of the master which included expanding into an adjacent closet space, vaulting the ceilings, and replacing the floor to accommodate a curbless shower.

The Covington estate renovation of the Joachim Herz House transformed the founder’s former residence on a 3,000-acre Georgia property into a 5,500-square-foot event and meeting facility for the Joachim Herz Stiftung. Designed by Jones Pierce Architects, the renovation and addition combined adaptive reuse with advanced high-performance construction. The completed project achieved EarthCraft Platinum certification, reflecting a strong commitment to energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, durability, and responsible building practices. Solar power, upgraded building systems, improved envelope performance, and extensive reuse of the existing structure were incorporated while preserving the character of the original residence and its rural setting. Construction on a remote 3,000-acre estate also required careful coordination of trades, equipment, material deliveries, and scheduling. The project demonstrates Eco Custom Homes’ experience with complex renovations, sustainable construction, and high-performance building practices throughout Georgia.

Our inspiration for this home was an updated and refined approach to Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Prairie-style”; one that responds well to the harsh Central Texas heat. By DESIGN we achieved soft balanced and glare-free daylighting, comfortable temperatures via passive solar control measures, energy efficiency without reliance on maintenance-intensive Green “gizmos” and lower exterior maintenance. The client’s desire for a healthy, comfortable and fun home to raise a young family and to accommodate extended visitor stays, while being environmentally responsible through “high performance” building attributes, was met. Harmonious response to the site’s micro-climate, excellent Indoor Air Quality, enhanced natural ventilation strategies, and an elegant bug-free semi-outdoor “living room” that connects one to the outdoors are a few examples of the architect’s approach to Green by Design that results in a home that exceeds the expectations of its owners.

Exterior of Boulder home. HRTI completed the stone work, stucco and A606 Corten Steel siding. The Corten came in two varieties Raised Panels with exposed fasteners and Corregated. These products are intended to rust and will within 6 months. We also did some Hardie Board Lap siding in a 6 inch reveal on this project. This project was paired with Alpen Glass windows and doors using Heat Mirror Technology from Alpen High Performance Products.

This was one of those special projects in which we were able to build not only a incredibly insulated and efficient home, but were also able to incorporate a bunch of custom woodworking, metal work, stone work and historical details into the project. We adhered to “Efficiency Vermont’s’ rigorous High Performance Home standards in the construction of this project. In addition, this was a Duplex and as a result required extra attention to special code requirements surrounding multi-family construction. We also tried to recreate the exterior details to match with the historical period of early Vermont.

We performed both the design and the construction for this custom home. This project followed years after a major remodel on their prior home on an adjacent property. For more information and additional photos of this project, which we both designed and built, go to http://a1builders.ws/2013/06/this-new-home-allowed-a-new-energy-efficient-living-environment/

The owners of this home came to us with a plan to build a new high-performance home that physically and aesthetically fit on an infill lot in an old well-established neighborhood in Bellingham. The Craftsman exterior detailing, Scandinavian exterior color palette, and timber details help it blend into the older neighborhood. At the same time the clean modern interior allowed their artistic details and displayed artwork take center stage. We started working with the owners and the design team in the later stages of design, sharing our expertise with high-performance building strategies, custom timber details, and construction cost planning. Our team then seamlessly rolled into the construction phase of the project, working with the owners and Michelle, the interior designer until the home was complete. The owners can hardly believe the way it all came together to create a bright, comfortable, and friendly space that highlights their applied details and favorite pieces of art.
