Living room - contemporary living room idea in Chicago

Both pure in shape and lavish, this dense crystal ring seems to float in mid-air, glittering like a halo. Inspired by the discovery of the Cassini Division in the rings of Saturn by Renaissance astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1675, it is a celebration of the power of the solar system and the astral movements around the sun and moon. This is the extravagant design piece that will add oomph to your dining room and shine a light on your lounge or retail space.

Not only do ReAlta homes incorporate solar power and home automation, they also embody contemporary architecture rarely seen on the east coast. Cheslea Building Group approached TruGuard, looking for a contemporary exterior cladding that fit with their building techniques (in this case, low maintenance). James Hardie Artisan V-Groove and Nichiha VintageWood Fiber Cement immediately came to mind. The Artisan V-Groove is pre-primed and painted on site to fit with one of the pre-selected color palettes. The VintageWood on the other hand, comes in two pre-finished colors that mimic the natural beauty and texture of real wood without the maintenance requirements. Whatever your aesthetic needs, TruGuard can offer a variety of cladding solutions for your remodel or new construction home.

This is a total renovation and addition to a small A-frame home. We added a beautiful new high end kitchen, garage, and a spa room. We also expanded the second floor and added a deck. This is a Zero Energy Grid Independent home with solar power and batteries. We also installed a geothermal heat pump. The house has no utility bills and never loses power.

Green Home Systems was recently hired by Sheri C. of Hesperus, Colorado, to install a 20.16 KW SolarEdge system for her home located on County Road 122. The project was completed within a couple of weeks and the results have been incredible! Sheri chose Green Home Systems based on our craftsmanship, our reputation and our financing options. The main reason she chose us was because we could complete the project on time with the best customer service in the industry. The system installed by Green Home Systems has already allowed Sheri to reduce her electricity bill and increase her property value while providing backup power for her home. The solar panel system is a grid tie-in which is connected directly to her local utility company’s grid for power generation and storage. We used top of the line SolarEdge inverters which are guaranteed to be durable and perform well for years to come. Our warranty for these products gives customers peace of mind that their system will be maintained and repaired when needed. We also offer government and utility company incentives to help make going solar even more affordable for our customers. At Green Home Systems, we are proud to have been chosen by Sheri C., and we are thrilled that she has experienced such great success with her new solar system! We would like to thank Sheri for choosing us and allowing us the opportunity to provide her with an exceptional solar experience. We look forward to continuing to serve customers in Hesperus, Colorado and all over the world with their solar needs!

This is a comprehensive renovation of an early midcentury home in Portland.
