Lower Your Energy costs

A few easy things to do to lower your energy costs at home.

1) turn off lights when not needed, or when a room is unoccupied.
2) when replacing bulbs, use lower wattage or more efficient ones.
3) check and replace if necessary all the weather stripping around doors and windows.
4) lower your heating settings
5) raise your air conditioning settings
6) make sure you have a programmable thermostat to reduce the heating and air conditioning during unoccupied hours.

These are some of the low cost or no cost actions that can be taken right now to save you money!

On our way to dry-in


One more day until dry-in. There are still three named storms in the Atlantic, but it looks like we made it with no major rain events.

Setting the trusses











We had the crane on the job at 7 am Wednesday morning.

Wall Framing




Walls are framed up and ready for trusses.

The 6" concrete curb was poured on Friday and will be ready for the framers to stand up the new walls Monday morning. You can see the way the Fl. room roof was demo'd to allow for a portion of the overhang to remain to maintain dry-in at finished areas. Keep your eye on this blog and watch as the framing starts Monday and the weather challenges will be dynamic and critical to a sucessful project.

Tired of a flat roof

Day 2 of construction and most of the overhang has been cut back and temporarily covered over with plywood. We also demo'd the Fl room walls and ceiling / roof and prepared to pour concrete.

Cape Royal Business Owner

I was extremely impressed with Carter’s professionalism, trustworthiness, courtesy, and work product. I moved here from Baltimore, Maryland to start a business. I needed a total office remodel and solicited 6 different contractors for bids. Carter was one of the last contractors to preview the project and the first (and only) contractor to submit a timely bid (his came in less than one week!). The project started right on time and, as the job progressed, I was pleased with Carter’s attention to detail and his precision. He always returned my phone calls. He kept me informed about everything all the time. My staff, clients, and office neighbors have all raved about the finished product. I would not consider another contractor to do future jobs for me because I know I can trust Carter and his work.
