Restructuring the foundations to align and stabilize the structure in addition to providing for a new insulated crawl space;
A 260 square foot addition for a kitchen, bath, and new entry;
New cedar shingles, roof shingles, and restored historic windows;
The house met the strict regulations of Nantucket's Historic District.
On the inside, LEED Gold certification was met through:
High R-value insulation and reduced air leakage;
High efficiency heating, air conditioning, plumbing fixtures, and appliances;
Low-emission paints and finishes as well as a clay wall finish;
Using reclaimed materials from the original house and other sites.

Our client planned to spend more time in this home and wanted to increase its livability. The project was complicated by the strata-specified deadline for exterior work, the logistics of working in an occupied strata complex, and the need to minimize the impact on surrounding neighbours.
By reducing the deck space, removing the hot tub, and moving out the dining room wall, we were able to add important livable space inside. Our homeowners were thrilled to have a larger kitchen. The additional 500 square feet of living space integrated seamlessly into the existing architecture.
This award-winning home features reclaimed fir flooring (from the Stanley Park storm), and wood-cased sliding doors in the dining room, that allow full access to the outdoor balcony with its exquisite views.
Green building products and processes were used extensively throughout the renovation, which resulted in a modern, highly-efficient, and beautiful home.

Building materials are one of the primary sources of indoor air contaminants that negatively affect the health of our living spaces The EcoCraft team has meticulously selected building materials that are healthy, recyclable, and free of harmful contaminants thereby improving the health of our homes.
Consider also that consistent temperatures between floors, rooms, and surfaces plays a critical role in how humans experience true comfort. Our advanced airtight continuously insulated building envelopes eliminate drafts and cold surface to ensure consistent air and surface temperatures. Individually zoned floors and spaces provide occupant control for added flexibility and individualized temperature settings.
Our extra thick walls and energy star windows reduce sound transfer between the interior and exterior spaces, while our state of the art mechanical systems run quietly to provide an experience you can feel, but can barely hear.

When Carl’s was called on to transform a Manasquan, NJ home from top to bottom, our team responded emphatically to the challenge. Here’s a quick look at this complete Manasquan makeover.
Weatherproof Roofing
Carl’s installed an Owen’s Corning watertight roofing system designed to outlast the harshest elements of all four seasons. Owens Corning is known as a top-quality manufacturer, with roofing materials lasting up to 20 years and capable of withstanding up to 80 mph winds.
Cedar-Impressed Siding
Vinyl siding with cedar impressions serves the dual purpose of being both stylish and easy to manage.
Seamless Gutters
5” seamless gutters reduce the need for ongoing maintenance, as they do not need to be cleaned frequently like other types of gutters do. They are also minimally invasive of the home’s unique design and character.
Energy-Efficient Andersen Windows
New windows don’t just look sparkly and clean; they can also go a long way toward lowering your monthly energy bill. Carl’s installed energy-efficient windows from Andersen, the largest window manufacturer in North America. The homeowners will benefit from reduced home heating and cooling costs for years to come.
Front Storm and Sliding Doors
Front storm doors and back sliding doors were matched to the homeowners’ tastes in design.
Low-Maintenance Decking
There’s no better place to be in spring and summer than on your own private deck. This home’s decking is made from WOLF Tongue & Groove Porch material, which is durable, visually pleasing, and low-maintenance all at once.
Vinyl Fencing
Lastly, vinyl fencing around the home’s exterior brings the full renovation together with a final touch of curb appeal.
