Remodeling and renovating has been something I've enjoyed for several years. I saw the need to have a woman's point of view and to have a company that's socially responsible. This combination was the motivation behind Aronson Custom Homes.

As more and more homeowners turn to remodeling, we would like to encourage you to look at using materials that are greener. Here's some ideas:

• Glass tiles — made from mostly recycled glass
• Other suggestions for tiles — made from earth-friendly materials, or buying stock items to save on Carbon producing shipping
• Lighting — using compact florescent lights (CFL), these use significantly less energy

If you're considering building "green," we offer the expertise to guide your project through to completion. See the new green home featured in our gallery.

We've gathered links and resources about green building.

If you've been wondering about the true costs of green building, please see "Green Building Costs" for more information.
