As more American homeowners discover the benefits of going green, a new breed of contractor is emerging--the green contractor. If you're in the market for a remodeling contractor, you might want to consider hiring one who's committed to environmentally friendly materials and processes. While "green" remodeling contractors may charge slightly more for their work to offset their extra costs, the benefits to the environment (and the environmentally-aware homeowner's peace of mind) are invaluable. Keep reading to learn more about the practices of green remodeling contractors and ways you can actually cut remodel costs by being eco-friendly.

Green Contractors Use Green Materials

If you want your home renovation to be energy-efficient, non-polluting, and waste-reducing, a green contractor can hook you up and provide the environmentally-friendly job you envisioned. These contractors commit to using green materials--FSC-certified lumber and paints/sealants that minimize volatile organic compounds (VOCs), for example. Many power their equipment with biodiesel or vegetable oil.

Green Contractors Know the Ins and Outs of Recycling

Green contractors know about recycling and reusing. Nearly everything can be recycled--from flooring to fixtures to kitchen sinks. In order to properly salvage these materials in a major renovation job, however, your remodeling contractor will probably recommend hiring a deconstruction team as opposed to a demolition crew. This will cost more but it can be offset: there are local and national non-profit organizations that will pick up these recycled materials--which can mean a major charitable tax credit.

Reusing Can Be a Goldmine

Green contractors might recommend salvaging cabinets, fixtures, or flooring materials from the renovation site to be reused elsewhere in your home. You'll eliminate waste and it'll feel like you're getting something for free.
