Remo Construction Company

Anthony C Esposito
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 6, 2014
“We hired Anthony to design and renovate our small South Philly basement. He and his team (big shout out to my main man Chuck!) did an amazing job. It required some significant D&E and juggling several different teams. Anthony was on the job and available 24/7, keeping us up to date via text, emails and phone calls. He worked quickly and used his extensive connections to find us quality products on a budget. When issues popped up totally unrelated to his work, Anthony worked with our previous contractors to identify the issue, come up with a solution, and got them to pay 100% of the cost. Without Anthony we would have been out of luck! To this day, we go back to Anthony with questions and requests for recommendations and he always comes through. Like our concierge contractor! Hire Anthony, you'll be happy you did! (Yes I'm a real person and no I'm not a blood relative - have Anthony put me in touch with you if you need a reference)”
Honey, Fix It (We Fix What Your Honey Doesn't!)
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 2, 2012
“Honey Fix It has now completed several projects in my house. I have been very satisfied by the outcomes and impressed by the perfect execution. In particular, Teresa has a good eye to identify what’s needed and her recommendations were very much in line with my requests. Not only Teresa is perfectly up to date with all building regulations, but also her detailed technical expertise is obvious. In addition, I trust Teresa for her home decor advices. The execution of the work has always been to perfection. The team didn’t “cut corners” and exceeded my expectations. After trying several contractors, Honey Fix It clearly surpassed all the others. I will without any hesitations ask Honey Fit It to take care of my next home improvement project. Christian”
Buckminster Green LLC
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 29, 2012
“Kenny and his team are not only very experienced builders, they are stewards of the environment. His team is perfect for any home owner looking for affordable, eco-friendly renovations. What I appreciate most about Kenny and his team is that they spend time educating their clients so that they can make informed decisions. Buckminster Green is not your average construction service. They are thoughtful, creative and most importantly, fun to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to renovate, or add to their home in a earth friendly way.”

Hanson Fine Building
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 15, 2013
“We had a wonderful experience working with Hanson General Contacting on a kitchen renovation. This was the biggest construction project we had ever undertaken and we couldn’t be happier with our new space. Our home was built in 1879, and has great character as well as challenges. HGC gutted our old kitchen and removed an exterior wall to extend the footprint. They took care to salvage existing materials, such as the original doors that were repurposed in the project. They matched the historic details, such as crown molding and trim, and they found bricks that matched the original facade. They sourced reclaimed wood to match the existing hardwood floors and beams for the extension to match the existing beams. Hanson guided us through with the right blend of soliciting our input, and advising us based on their experience and respect for our budget. We now have an amazing space where our whole family spends so much more time together.”
City Homesmith
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 7, 2015
“All I can say is - WOW! What a fantastic experience working with Paul, The Philly Homesmith! After a few conversations with large design & build firms we knew we could not afford to go that route. Some contractors we initially interviewed gave us competitive estimates, but just could not connect with our design esthetic, which was very important to us. When we meet Paul, he listened carefully to us and asked many questions. He was really concerned with what we liked and what we needed, and gave us lots of options and ideas to consider. He helped us from planning the initial layout, to managing the entire project. He even suggested appliances, places to shop and took us to some cool salvage stores. For the powder room, he came across some free cargo box wood that ended up looking beautiful as a wall treatment. Amazing! I really believe we would have never gotten this kind of intimate service from a large company. His Estimate was very competitive and in the end we ended up being very close to budget. We went over by about 12%, only because we changed our mind on some things along the way and there were some unforeseen issues behind the ceiling and walls that needed to be repaired (Paul had warned us of that possibility early on). It was a great experience working with Paul, he's very patient and easy to get along with. He didn't get annoyed or gouge us with price hikes when we asked to change things along the way, which we've heard stories of many contractors doing. Paul's design ideas for the Kitchen and Powder room were beautiful and unique and we are extremely pleased with his work and would hire him again in a heartbeat. He pays attention to detail, is dedicated, and is a true artist and craftsman.”
Orange Energy Solutions, LLC
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 17, 2016
“Orange Energy Solutions did amazing work on our home. We initially hired them for a home energy audit and for consultation on some renovations we were considering. After the audit, we realized that we needed a lot more work than expected. The people at Orange were great at helping us understand our options for energy upgrades, renovations, financing (they helped with our low-interest Keystone loan application), and our eligibility for refunds/grants. They also provided a reasonable timeline for finishing the work, and stayed true to that timeline. The workers and contractors were always friendly and clean. This was our first real experience with contractors and renovations, and it was excellent. Orange Energy is such high quality that we hired them back for several other projects (window installation, backyard upgrade, repairing floor and ceiling damage). I would highly recommend Orange for not only improving the energy efficiency in your house (our bills are much lower, house is warmer during cold months), but also if you are considering any upgrades or renovations. The people are all friendly and helpful, and they do high quality work efficiently.”

General Contractor FAQs
The duration of a green building project can vary widely based on its complexity, size, and specific green technologies employed. On average, a green building project may take slightly longer than a conventional one due to the careful selection of materials and implementation of innovative practices. A small to medium residential project could range from 6 to 18 months, whereas larger or more complex projects might take longer. Clear communication with your chosen company will help set realistic timelines.
Green Building Companies prioritize materials that are sustainable, recycled, or recyclable, have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, and are sourced locally when possible. Design trends lean towards maximizing natural light, improving indoor air quality, and incorporating energy-efficient systems. The choice of materials and design elements is influenced by environmental performance criteria, client preferences, and architectural trends focused on sustainability and resilience.
Homeowners should start by defining their goals for sustainability, budget, and design. Researching green building principles and familiarizing oneself with key concepts such as passive solar design, energy efficiency measures, and water conservation can be very helpful. Gathering inspiration and creating a vision board can also aid in communicating your desires to the building company. Lastly, securing financing and understanding any eligible green building incentives or rebates is crucial.
Challenges such as sourcing specific sustainable materials, adhering to green certification requirements, and managing costs are addressed through experienced project management, innovative problem-solving, and robust supplier networks. Companies stay abreast of the latest green technologies and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring project goals are met without compromising on sustainability standards.
