Remodeling
Our experts will talk to you about your life and dreams, how to upgrade your home for who you are today and what your needs may be tomorrow, and discuss with you the remodeling process. We will help you make educated decisions by providing you with material options, energy efficient alternatives, and cost effective budgets. And we will give you superior customer service to make your renovation or remodel easy and timely.
Room Additions
Whether you need a nursery, an in-law suite, a new home gym, a theater, an art studio, or simply another room for the million other reasons why the extra space would be nice ...or necessary, we can make it happen.
Second Story Additions
Is your thought when reading our list under Room Additions "All of the above!", then maybe it's time to add a whole second story. Talk to us. We will discuss your dreams, needs, options and budgets, and together we will figure out what works best for you and your home.
Kitchens
Not crazy anymore about what you thought looked so good in the 80's? The new faucets, countertops and cabinetry really do look wonderful. And the latest flooring is so much easier to clean! Or do you want your kitchen and dining area opened up more so your kitchen isn't cut off from the entertaining space? Whether updating or opening up your space, we can help the heart of your home make your heart happy.
Baths
Do you long to have a soaking tub where you can relax with candles and soft music and totally unwind? A shower with multiple spa-like showerheads is a sure soother, too. New cabinetry is available now with electrical outlets so you can leave your shaver and blow dryer plugged in all the time - and drawer dividers to keep things organized like never before. Or how about installing his and her sinks? Brainstorm with us - we've got great ideas to share with you.
Great Rooms
Whether it's an elegant evening event or a Sunday afternoon football party, having enough space to invite others into your home to share your life is a wonderful addition to any home. And yet, done right (and we do!), it can be a cozy place for quiet times with the family.
Master Suites
It's not just a bedroom. It's your haven - your place to retreat from the world, relax, unwind and really be yourself. Indulge in some extras in this room - a sitting area, maybe a fireplace, a private porch or deck - let's talk about what your Master Suite needs to have to be the ultimate home sanctuary.
Lower Level Finish
Raise the value of your home - and your enjoyment of it - by finishing the lower level. It's a great place to have a teenager's suite, an entertainment room - complete with a billiards table, huge television screen and the latest video game equipment, a home theater, or maybe the home gym you want for keeping fit and healthy for years to come.
Porches
Your entertaining space is immediately extended when you add this to your home. People can visit in the Great Room or they can mingle on the porch. Or it's great for quiet dinners for two on a starlit evening. And nothing gets you ready for the day quite like a cup of java on the porch, contemplating the rustle of the leaves as a soft morning breeze wafts through them.
Custom Homes
Would you rather start from scratch instead of remodel what you're living in now? We can do that, too. Do you just have a few ideas written down on a napkin? That's okay - it's a good start. Let's talk about your hopes, dreams, desires, and needs, and our experts at Enerjac will put together a custom home design that will be your unique haven, reflecting your unique personality and lifestyle.

Enerjac's Home Performance program will assess your "whole House" as a system. With an energy audit you receive a comprehensive assessment including recommendations and cost analysis for: heating and cooling; insulation levels; air infiltration; windows and doors; appliances, and lighting.

Diagnosing the Problem

Rather than focusing on a single component, such as single-paned windows, an old air conditioning system, or leaky ductwork, a participating contractor will assess how improvements to all of these components can work together to provide:

fewer drafts
consistent temperatures across rooms
better ventilation and humidity control
lower utility bills

Sealing Air Leaks and Adding Insulation
Many air leaks in homes are fairly obvious, such as around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. But others, like those in attics, around chimneys, and through recessed lighting fixtures, are often the more significant sources of energy loss in a home. Sealing air leaks is critical to improving the overall efficiency of your home and will make your heating and cooling system perform better. Along with air sealing, your contractor may recommend that you add insulation. Many older homes are not well-insulated, and some have no insulation at all. Properly installed insulation in walls, floors, and attics provides for more even temperatures throughout the house and results in a quieter, more comfortable living environment that is easier to heat and cool.

Sealing Ductwork
Many homes have leaky ductwork and poor air flow, resulting in stuffy and uncomfortable rooms - regardless of the thermostat setting. The home performance contractor may recommend sealing your home's ducts with mastic, metal tape or spray-on sealant, and balancing the duct system to optimize air flow to all rooms. Insulating ductwork in attics, crawl spaces, and some basements can also help to ensure that your home will be more comfortable.

Improving Heating and Cooling System
If your furnace or air conditioner is more than 10 years old, your contractor may recommend that you replace it with a unit that has earned the ENERGY STAR® label. Installed correctly, these high-efficiency units can save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs. But when it comes to heating and cooling equipment, bigger is not always better. A properly-sized unit will make your home more comfortable by providing more consistent temperatures and better humidity control.

The contractor should also test combustion equipment, such as your furnace and hot water heater, to ensure that it is operating and venting properly.

Upgrading Lighting and Appliances
Energy used for lighting and appliances can account for half of your home's total utility bill. As a result, the home performance contractor may recommend ENERGY STAR® qualified products, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, electronic equipment, light fixtures, and compact fluorescent bulbs. An energy - and water - efficient hot water heating system may also be recommended.

Once you've taken steps to increase your home's efficiency, you may also want to consider adding renewable energy systems, such as solar electric (photovoltaics) or solar hot water, to further reduce your utility bills.

Financing is available for repairs and efficiency upgrades. Enerjac can supply you with information.
