Welcome to the new home: bright colors, open design, wired to meet almost any

technological need. Kitchens are becoming as livable and as much of a social hub as the family living room. Bathrooms are technological wonders of luxury and efficiency. Your new dream home awaits and can include these top kitchen and bathroom remodeling trends.

Top KiTchen TrendsWith today’s modern family spending more time in the kitchen, many families find that this is the congregating area where they tend to spend the most time together. Here are some of the most popular upgrades homeowners have on their must-have list when remodeling their kitchen.

open concepTThe kitchen is the true hub of almost any home. As such, the kitchen is open-ing up and is getting more integrated with the rest of the house. Homeowners want to socialize while cooking and serving instead of being cut off from everyone else.

To meet the demand, designers are seeing homeowners knocking down walls to open up the kitchen to the rest of the house. More and more islands are being added to kitchens so people can watch their kids do homework, socialize or set out food. Designers are even see-ing more hardwood floors in kitchens, which are easier to make uniform with the rest of house since the kitchen is now flowing into other areas.

non-Touch and Touch FauceTs Once seen primarily in public bath-rooms, homeowners are now bring-ing touchless faucets into the home. Touchless faucets are growing in popu-larity for the sanitation benefits they offer. Infrared sensors turn the water on for you, no handles required, and are

battery powered. Water temperature and sensor range can be set on most models.

“Moen has a sensor faucet that will turn the faucet on when your hands are in proximity to the sensor. It’s high tech, offered in numerous designs and really makes sense to help reduce contamina-tion caused by raw meats, eggs, etc.,” said Jennifer Skalko with Ferguson Enterprises, Inc. in Tampa, FL.

Also, faucets that only require a tap of the wrist or forearm anywhere on the faucet to start the water flow are tak-ing off in homes. Skalko points to the Delta/Brizo touch faucets. Cooks also love them for the sanitation and water conservation benefits.

creaTive BacKsplashesBacksplashes are a mainstay for many kitchens. While tile mosaics are out in the kitchen, designers are seeing brick lay above stoves and some owners are opting for three-dimensional stone pat-terns. Glass tiles are being incorporated into backsplashes and stainless steel backsplashes are growing in popularity.

Uniform, linear designs remain the most popular. For instance, subway tiles in a running bond pattern are a popular choice right now.

Tech in The KiTchen Since the kitchen is the hub of the home, more and more people are bringing their technology into the kitchen with them. Some homes incorporate special desk areas for working on a computer and oth-ers are adding charging stations into the plan by reserving the counter space and routing the correct wiring to the area.

Appliances also are smarter in today’s kitchen: convection cook tops are popu-lar, refrigerators come with the capability to access a variety of apps like Pandora for music playing, speed cook ovens can cook food up to eight times faster.

Top BaThroom Trends Homeowners are putting more effort and resources into their bathrooms then ever before. Cutting edge technologies make the bathroom a comforting haven from the stresses of life.

high Tech showersHomeowners are focusing on getting the best possible showering experience, since few people have the time to enjoy a bath as much as people have in the past. “In a lot of master showers, we sell a fixed showerhead, a hand shower and a rainhead,” said Skalko. “This gives them the ‘spa’ feel they want, but also provides them with functions they can use on a daily basis.”

However, multiple showerheads are not for everyone: “We are seeing more simple shower systems with steam added versus the ‘car wash’ with numerous showerheads,” said Nathan Parker with Ferguson Enterprises, Inc. in Tampa, FL. “The new Kohler DTV II system is popular because of the simplicity and price point.” The Kohler DTV II allows

for control over steam, lighting and sound, as well as access to saved settings.

waTer conservaTion With water costs on the rise and con-cerns over water availability rising, water conservation is making its way into the design process in many bathrooms. A popular product on the rise is the dual-flush toilet, which uses more or less water depending on which button is pushed. Low flush toilets are also more popular, some cutting back on the amount of water they use by over half, from 3.5 gal-lons per flush to 1.28 gallons.

“Many people are interested in water conserving toilets, especially once they know how well they flush,” said Skalko. “Manufacturers have had many years to perfect their flushing system and most

flush better than the toilets from many years ago. It’s a great way to save an average of 3,000-4,000 gallons of water a year, depending on use.”

heaTed Floors While on the pricey side, heated floors are becoming more and more popular. Heated floors take away the chill of walking on a cold bathroom floor in colder months, but also warm up the entire bathroom without the added cost of increasing the heat in the rest of the house. They also come with thermostats so the floor can be set to just the right temperature when the bathroom is in use, and then will shut down when the bathroom is unused. For a more cost-conscious approach, some homeowners opt to just add heated sheets in certain

high-use areas, like in front of the sink, shower or toilet.

Trends worKing For The KiTchen and BaThroomOther choices to consider are color schemes and lighting throughout your kitchen and bath. There are endless options to choose from.

BrighT and lighT Shades of white are dominating the design scene right now. White-faced cabinets and lighter stone countertops are huge. Designers are seeing a lot more white honed marble countertops, for example. Homeowners are attracted to the use of white as the primary design scheme because it gives the home a look that is not likely to go out of style anytime soon, as well as looking highly contemporary.

“For fixtures, people are remaining neutral with a lot of white and some bis-cuit. For faucets, the silver finishes are dominant (polished chrome, polished nickel and brushed nickel),” said Skalko. However, Ann Wolf with Jeffery M. Wolf General Contractor, Inc. in St. Petersburg, FL mentioned that polished nickel will not pit over the years like chrome can.

Overall, general light coloring is popu-lar as well. “The most dominant are bright, clean colors,” said Parker. “Not as much dark or natural color cabinetry. Consumers really want a fresh, clean look in both kitchen and bath.” Skalko also mentioned that calm, cool colors like the blues and greens are dominating the Tampa design scene.

led lighTing Once unappealing because of the harsh and unflattering nature of the light qual-ity, new LED lights give off warmer and more subdued light. As such, LED light-ing is taking off with homeowners since it offers a great quality light for any room, while also helping homeowners cut back on energy costs due to their low energy usage. “[LED] does not promote heat gain like other types of light can, which can make your air conditioner work harder,” said Wolf.

LED lighting for under cabinets is especially popular, while LED light-ing technology overall is moving at a quick speed. LED lights can now also be found in chandeliers and pendant lights, making them a versatile addition to almost any design whim. LED lights are also big in kitchens and bathrooms as recessed lights.

TransiTional design Transitional design is a combination of the traditional and contemporary. Designers and homeowners place a spe-cial focus on creating an environment that looks clean and sleek, yet classic.

“Some key traits of the ‘transitional’ style are clean lines, less fuss, easy,” said Skalko. “People want easy and items that won’t date themselves.”

To meet this end, transitional design is a blend of old world style with sleek, contemporary designs. There are few accessories around, but those that are around are carefully chosen for maxi-mum impact, such as potted plants, Victorian accents or photos. Neutral whites and browns are dominant with

more colorful accessories thrown in. This style is as much of an individual’s own personality and tastes as it is a specific design trend.

In this article we will focus on evaluating your neighborhood and the return on investment of your remodeling project. If you have already decided to remodel rather than relocate,

it is now time to delve further into the neighborhood factors as they relate to your remodeling project.

Since you have decided to stay in your existing home, you now must determine the extent of your remodeling and how this relates to the neighborhood. Time is a very important factor. If you plan to remodel and want to sell in the near future, the value of other houses in your neighborhood will be more impor-tant. In this case you might want to choose remodeling projects that will enhance the resale value of your home. However, if you

plan to remodel your home with the intention of being there for the long term, other factors are more important.

According to Jim Macholz, President of Jamco Unlimited, “Because of the poor economy over the past couple of years, my remodeling business has switched gears from kitchen remodels to more bathroom remodels. I’m finding that most clients have become very cost conscious and plan on staying in their current home and ‘age in place.’

“In order to cut costs but still achieve a beautiful look, cabi-net styles have changed from custom to semi-custom and since the kitchen remodel is much more expensive, my clients want to start with the bathroom.

As you Are ThinKing ABouT remodeling your home There Are mAny fAcTors

To consider. If you hAveN’T yeT decIded wheTheR To sTAy oR move, RefeR To The

pRevIously puBlIshed ARTIcle, “RelocATe oR Remodel.”* JusT As TheRe ARe mANy pluses ANd

For those with young children or a growing family, a well chosen remodeling project will add needed functionality and years of enjoyment for the whole family. Assuming your home is in the neighborhood you have chosen to be in, your remodeling project will not only enhance your family life, but will add value when the time does come to move on. For those who don’t have children or whose children may have grown, there will be other reasons to remodel. These reasons could include increased functionality of the home to support a changing life style, changes needed to support physical limita-tions or just changes to create a different look.

In determining the extent of your remodeling project, you will want to evaluate your priorities. For most of us, our pri-orities include enjoyment, whether that enjoyment is personal pleasure, family enhancement or time with our friends. Some of us will want our homes to be the center of our lives and activities, while others will want to enjoy life and activities

outside our homes. In making decisions regarding remodel-ing, as long as we have decided that we want to remain in our neighborhood, we should next focus on those features that will enhance our enjoyment of our home.

To ensure the best return on investment we should keep in mind not only how we will use our remodeled home, but also how others will view it when the time does come to sell it. This may not be important to you if you have the perfect home for the next 5, 10 or even 20 years. On the other hand, it would be nice to know that your renovations will make your home more salable in the future.

A good contractor will be able to help you to ensure that your remodel will be appropriate for you and your family, as well as your neighborhood. Your contractor should listen to your ideas and help to create solutions to meet your needs. He will also let you know what is feasible and cost effective.

“Another big area of change has been the addition of gas appliances. For about $3,000.00,

we can pipe a house for natural gas and include a new high efficiency gas water heater.

This will pay for itself in 2½ years and there will always be hot water on demand.”

According to Steve Perry, President of J. S. Perry and Co., “Once you’ve decided on the type of home improvement you want to undertake, the selection of a contractor weighs mas-sively into the success of the project.

“This means finding someone properly licensed and insured with experience doing projects similar to yours. The right contractor will offer the craftsmanship and attention to detail you demand, will have the communication skills necessary to pull all the trades and personnel through the process smoothly, and will have the ability to deliver the project in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable price.

“Always inspect one of their recently completed projects, contact their recent past customers and never be afraid to pay more for the correct contractor for your project. Smart owners never base their selection on price alone. Under-paying can be the fastest route to disaster, disappointment and even prolonged agony.”

When Bill Wear’s mother had open heart surgery a little over a year ago and needed a

place to recover, he and his partner con-sidered their options. “She wasn’t really doing well,” Bill says. “So we consid-ered our options. One was an assisted area facility we didn’t look favorably on; the other was to remodel our mid-century Florida modern. So we decided on the remodel.”

Built in 1949 by a commercial con-tractor who built the home for himself, the home features all-concrete construc-tion, including the ceilings and the inte-rior walls. “It was called the unburnable house and the original owner got upset because he had to pay $25 per year for fire insurance,” chuckles Bill. “We have a copy of an old newspaper story that tells the entire story.”

A Remodeling PlAn Using UniveRsAl design PRinciPlesThe remodel took half of the home’s original downstairs and a one-car garage and transformed the area into a nice in-law suite. The design included a large bedroom, a sitting room and a bathroom using universal design principles.

The highlight of the project is the suite’s bathroom. Featuring high-end fixtures, the room offers a custom-made bamboo vanity with dual faucets and a trough sink. Convertible for wheelchair access at a later date, the room also fea-tures a roll-in shower that touts Italian marble and adjustable showerheads.

“One of the reasons we selected Don, of Strobel Design Build, was his ability to combine high-end fixtures with uni-versal design principles,” says Bill.

The bathroom and sitting room are separated by a pocket door so a future caregiver could stay over if necessary. Fortunately, Bill’s mom is currently doing really well.

A design highlight includes ceilings that have been opened up to concrete I-beams holding up first floor Cuban tiles. There are 2’ x 2’, 3” thick tiles resting on the I-beams. So the basement ceiling is the bottom of the first floor. Pale green walls, beige carpeting and panel fans complete the look.

“We tried to match the existing style of the home and followed a minimalist design,” Bill says. “We had an architect friend who had done some exterior work eight or 10 years ago and he said ‘you have the classic, mid-century Florida home, please don’t do anything to change the footprint.’”

“Our goal was to maintain its charac-ter because it’s a unique one of a kind home,” he comments. In addition to the space remodel, the front of the house was redone with a new roof over the front porch area.

The entire project took roughly six months and the results exceeded Bill’s expectations. “Mom loves the space. She calls it her ground floor penthouse,” he chuckles.

selecting theiR contRActoRBill and his partner first became aware of Strobel Design Build when Don and his team were doing a remodel in the area. “We noticed a home near us that looked like it was going to fall down,” Bill says. “It was going to be a challenge for Don to make it look halfway decent and the end result was just spectacular.”

They would often see Don’s signage in the neighborhood on projects of the quality for which they were looking. Additionally, they got referrals from customers for whom he had previously done work.

Advice to otheR homeowneRsFor other homeowners considering a remodeling project, Bill advises being

prepared for anything. “Especially when you are remodeling an older house, you need to have a Plan A and a Plan B,” he says. “Sometimes you get behind a wall and you get surprised by what you find. You need to prepare for anything.”

FUtURe Remodeling PlAnsAccording to Bill, their next and last remodeling project will be the kitchen. “We spend about 90 percent of our time there,” he says, “it’s a special place in the house. After 16 years in the house, it is the last bastion we need to work on.”

A former track star and medical student at Yale, the homeowner joined the Navy and became a fighter pilot and later a Navy test pilot. During

his test pilot days he experienced several crashes which he was fortunate to walk away from. After his career with the Navy, he practiced medicine and had a very successful practice. However, his crashes had caused him to be a victim of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He is now in the advanced stages of MS.

“The motorized wheelchairs he now uses are much bigger than when he started,” says John Marzulli, CR, CKBR and president of Emerald Contractors. “As a result, the bathroom and bedroom area he stayed in needed a great deal of modifications to make the home accessible to him.”

homeowneR ReqUiRements/Job chAllengesThe homeowner had several requirements for the bath-room/bedroom area. All the doors were too narrow and needed to be enlarged. He was not able to transfer into and out of the tub easily. The toilet and vanity were not easily accessible because of the way he had to enter and exit the bathroom. In addition, he needed special wainscoting on all the walls to protect them from the many crashes into them he has.

Another challenge was that he lives in a two-story house in a flood plain area which has an elevator. The elevator was constructed incorrectly. The top floor door was too narrow for him to access without tearing up the door jambs. The garage floor door was out of alignment by 6". Although it had a 36" door, its effec-tive width was only 30". In addition, there was a big gap in the floor between the elevator and the cab. Not only was there a gap but the elevator was higher than the slab. This made a very dangerous situation going in and out of the elevator.

the RenovAtionThe Emerald project team first took space out of a front bedroom that was being used as a storage area for all his wheelchairs. They used that space to elongate the bathroom, which opened up space for the 5’ x 5’ shower and the 5’ x 5’ turnaround space required by the VA. The elongation granted easy access to the vanity and toilet areas.

“One of the big obstacles we ran into was creating the roll-in shower,” Marzulli comments. “We could not cut into the floor trusses to get our 4” recess as this would have compromised the structure.”

As a result, the team had had to raise the bathroom floor by 4”. This created the need for a ramp into the bathroom. The VA adheres to the 1:12 rule very strictly. The strict adherence caused the ramp to pro-trude slightly into the hall area. This issue was solved by moving the door opening to the bathroom further into the bedroom.

A second challenge of a roll-in shower on the sec-ond floor was sealing it properly to prevent leaks. You cannot use a standard shower pan as there is no way to seal the edges when there is no drop down. The solution is to fiberglass the shower floor and run the fiberglass up the walls. The problem with fiber-glass is that it is not an approved product in the state of Florida because it is a field applied product. To overcome that obstacle, Emerald worked closely with the building inspectors, who agreed the code was not practical for wheelchair accessible applications.

The home’s elevator posed one of the project’s biggest challenges. To solve the upstairs door issue, the renova-tion team had to make the door opening wider. This required exacting measurements to line everything up. In addition, they had to move the keypad and button.

However, all that was easy compared to the garage

level repairs. Solving the door alignment issue required removing the entire door and frame, cutting the block, and forming and pouring a new opening (to exacting measurement).

Emerald closed the gap and eliminated the cab and slab level issues by installing pressure treated lumber in the gap and pouring a ramp up to the cab level. There were some code issues related to the distance from the back of the door to the cab. The code requires that there be no gap between the back of the door and the face of the cab. This is because of the possibility of a small child getting in that space and getting caught or injured during the operation of the elevator. This problem was easily solved by installing a space guard panel specially designed for this purpose.

Finally, the keypad and controls were too old to be put back and new ones had to be ordered and installed by the elevator company.

“Wheelchair accessible jobs are not ‘one size fits all’ projects,” says Marzulli. “In any accessibility job, you need to learn what will serve that client’s needs the best. In this case, we were able to meet all of the client’s needs. He got a bathroom/bedroom and elevator that fits his current needs and provides for future changes in his physical condition. He also got an aesthetically pleasing bathroom which is timeless in design,” he concludes.

When Madeleine and Pierre Michaud started working on their home in St. Petersburg,

they knew there would be a lot to do. Originally built in 1973, Pierre’s parents had owned the house since the early 1980s. Pierre acquired it last year. And very little had been done in terms of renovating since the day it was built.

Located on the water, Pierre first started working on the sea wall, but knew the pool, the lanai and the house would need extensive renovating.

“It was clear once we got going that there was going to be a domino effect,” he says. “The home was in dire need of an update.”

Ultimately, their goal was to turn what had become a tired-looking win-ter getaway boat house into a sleek European style home with modern day conveniences. But first they had to find a remodeling contractor.

“My experience with contractors hasn’t always been the best,” Pierre comments, “and I knew it could be tough to find a reliable contactor.”

During one of his visits to Florida, however, he noticed that a home three

doors down and badly in need of remod-eling had been completely redone and beautiful. So he knocked on the door and met owner Joni Reese.

Reese introduced him to Kevin McClure of McClure Contacting who had done her home. (In fact, she had enjoyed the process so much that she went to work for the firm.) Ultimately, the project team would be McClure, Reese and a designer McClure recom-mended to Madeleine and Pierre.

PRoJect scoPeThe renovation included shoring up a sinking foundation, adding a circle driveway, remodeling the pool, replac-ing a pool cage, replacing doors and windows, replacing landscaping, and a full interior remodel. The goal was to renovate everything to a new design using simple yet tasteful materials for a timeless style.

New pool equipment, including a gas heater, was installed at a new location out of sight at the side of the house. An above ground propane tank was installed to power the new pool heater, as well as the instant water heater and range.

In the lanai, a new tongue and groove ceiling, new pool decking of silver trav-ertine, and an outdoor kitchen including a grill, side burner, storage drawers, and trash bin provides the owners with a sleek and beautiful look for their out-door living.

The overall exterior was given a face-lift by simply removing aged shutters, power washing the brick front, installing a new insulated, impact-rated garage door, low maintenance landscaping, new paver driveway, and a fresh coat of paint to the stucco and tile roof.

Inside, the kitchen was designed to have an open feel and create all of the necessary storage for their style of cooking. French patterned, green slate material was installed on the floors throughout. The master bathroom was reorganized to house all of their wants and needs, and the closets were rede-signed to be more useful. Additional square footage was achieved in the guest bathroom by reducing the size of the closet in the adjacent guest bedroom.

Final details completing this European style remodel include new interior doors and hardware, baseboard,

casing, and lighting. Even the garage was remodeled with new epoxy flooring and an updated laundry space.

A long distAnce RelAtionshiP “We went through the entire house and did it mostly from Canada,” Pierre says. “We were living and moving in Canada at the same time this project was under-way,” he comments. “Joni was great to work with. She would send me plans for different parts of the project and we’d talk through them long distance.”

The entire project took from April to December last year. According to Pierre, it meets every expectation they had. The couple is planning on spending five months each year living in it.

“When my parents owned the house, it would take me three intensive days to open up the house and get it ready for them,” he says, “now it takes me three intensive hours.”

“I didn’t always enjoy the house when it was my parent’s home, but we are really enjoying it now,” he concludes.

Homes Boast Superior Sale/Resale Value

Green Certified and Energy Star Qualified homes have many advantages over a traditionally

built/remodeled home, and a growing body of evidence suggests that they hold their value better over time versus a tra-ditionally built home. There are many reasons for this; these are some of the most evident:

1. Green Certified and Energy Star Qualified homes (including Green Certified remodeled homes) take advantage of up-to-date building tech-nologies and installation/construction techniques and procedures.

2. High-efficiency heating and cooling equipment, energy and water efficient appliances and lighting, and weather resistant building materials are all manufactured to higher standards, and often are accompanied by longer product warranties.

3. For most of us, our home will be the single largest investment that we’ll make in our lifetime. It makes sense to purchase a home that meets high energy performance standards. You’ll save money every year on lower util-ity and maintenance costs, which means that you spend less over the course of your home ownership.

4. Energy costs are guaranteed to con-tinue to rise, as well as water costs, because the scarcity of these resources will continue to increase. This increase will accelerate the return on invest-ment that you will enjoy on your water and energy reduction measures.

5. The total cost of home ownership, the increased healthiness of your indoor air quality, and the greater comfort derived from a finely tuned heat-ing/cooling system combined with reduced external air intrusion are all widely recognized value drivers that

combine to differentiate your home from all others, and add real value when it’s time to sell your home.

6. I often ask this question when help-ing others make decisions regarding implementing strategic measures that differentiate a high performance home; “How much monetary and well-being value will a Level 4 versus a Level 1 granite countertop give you over its lifetime versus the same investment in a higher performing heating/cooling system, strategically upgraded insula-tion including spray-on foam, more energy and water efficient appliances and fixtures, or even higher performing glazing and sealing in your windows and doors?” The answer is overwhelm-ingly obvious; these high performance investments reward you with not only a higher return on your investment, but also a measurable increase in your comfort and well-being.

cASE StUDYThis home may be the most energy-efficient, energy-producing private residence in America today. It is con-structed of sustainable and/or recycled materials with long life and low mainte-nance requirements including: hurricane shutters hidden in the walls, Icynene insulation installed in the walls and in the unvented attic, air handlers and duct systems located within the conditioned space.

Daikin high-efficiency variable speed, variable refrigerant volume HVAC units with multiple air handlers (8 zones) allow for an adjustable system based on sun loads and room occupancy. Make-up air is introduced through a whole house dehumidification unit with HEPA filtration.

All lights are LED and a solar water heater provides primary domestic hot water. All windows and doors are insulated impact rated low-e glass. Amazingly, 14.7 KW of photovoltaic roof panels generate more power than the home uses during peak sunlight hours.

Other features help the home keep a small environmental footprint, including:

• A 2,500 gallon cistern harvests rain-water to irrigate the certified Florida Friendly landscape

• A Solar Cool standing seam metal roof reduces heat island effects

• Indoor finishes were selected to maxi-mize the use of recycled, locally pro-duced, and recyclable products

• Induction cooktop reduces heat wasted to the home

• A Greywater recycling tank stores water for use in extremely efficient, dual flush Geberit toilets

• A circulating pump provides hot water in a loop so no water is wasted waiting for hot water

• Waste water from the reverse osmosis water filter is sent to the hot water line

• Most construction waste was recycled: Concrete, wood waste, metals, plastic, paper, and cardboard sorted separately (by all trades on the site) then taken to local recyclers.

According to Wolf, “The home received a negative nine (-9) HERS rating (a 90 would meet code and an 85 would qualify for Energy Star rating). This may be the lowest rating achieved thus far in a custom residence in the U.S.”

And the home is stylish too. The kitchen shows off the home’s Accessible/Universal design and includes locally made concrete counters, recycled aluminum tile backsplash, a

Reverse Osmosis Water Filter that recy-cles bypass water to hot water lines, and a spacious pantry behind the glass wall. LED-Illuminated Etched Glass Panels roll on tracks and serve as doors to the elevator, powder room, laundry room, and pantry. The etched design celebrates the home’s curving “dance” and is repeated in the landscape design, the stone patterns of the pool terrace, and in the stained concrete floors of the home. The European style design required very precise, fine carpentry. Likewise, the barrier-free floor systems have no thresholds so the transitions between the stained concrete floor and bamboo floor had to be exact.

High-end kitchen appliances include:• SubZero Refrigerator• Wolf Induction Cooktop• Miele Dishwasher• Miele Coffee System• Miele Speed Oven• Miele Wall Oven• SubZero Freezer and Drawers

Stylish and green, the project scored 146 points above the minimum required by the Florida Green Building Coalition for certification.

7. In many markets, MLS now features information high-lighting the Green Certification and Energy Star Qualified components of high performance homes. It is now possible to search for homes for sale that meet high performance standards.

8. Based on the data from MLS in my market, it is possible to illustrate key comparative metrics for new construction high performance homes vs. traditional built non-certified homes. The data reveals that high performance certified homes continue to penetrate the local housing market. The Days on Market for high performance homes continue to be shorter than traditional built homes, even though the price commanded per square footage for certified homes is higher. This confirms consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for high performance features.

“Interest in green building and remodeling is strong in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg market,” says Jeff Wolf, president of Jeffery M. Wolf General Contractor, Inc. “We see a lot of interest, particularly since it’s part of our expertise, but there is no question green building techniques are being used more often.” (The case study on page 28 is an example of a green building project completed by Wolf’s firm.)

Editor’s note: Jeff Wiblitzhouser is the President of Paradise Found Construction; he is actively involved in building Green Certified Remodeled and New Custom Homes. His company is located in Cary, NC.
