Go Green, Beantown Home Improvements!
1. Thinking Green
The opportunities to reduce the environmental and health impacts of our homes span from big decisions, like location, to seemingly small decisions, like paint and light bulbs. The products we use to clean, light, furnish, renovate, and build our homes must be a part of the greening process. Reducing our environmental impacts requires thinking and learning about not just how we use products, but where they came from and where they’re going. Consider factors like:
- Energy used to make, ship, and use a product;
- The product’s contents and the sources of its raw materials;
- Emissions during manufacturing the product and the level and type of toxins in the final product; and
- The product’s durability (lifespan) and recyclability.
2. Green Partners
It’s extremely important when making any kind of home improvement to consider every facet of the project. From overall cost and time to complete, to the benefits of going green long term and the possible energy rebates you could receive short term. There are smart choices that can be made and at NO additional cost to you, if you know where to look. You just have to partner with the right company and BEANTOWN Home Improvements is ready when you are!
3. Green Options
While other elements such as smart insulation and proper ventilation are the big factors in a green home, you can make a world of difference in the materials you select to both build and finish your home. An obvious choice would be purchasing EnergyStar appliances, but what about:
- Premium insulated vinyl siding siding that can greatly increase the R-value of your home
- Duration®Premium Cool Shingles are ENERGY STAR® rated and feature unique lighter colors
- Simonton Windows with ENERGY STAR glass packages specifically designed for harsh Northern climate zones
4. Shingle Recycling
We recycle our shingles at selected recycling stations throughout New England and recycle all Aluminum drip edge
- BEANTOWN Home Improvements actually established the recycling program for Owens Corning in Massachusetts and is one of the ONLY companies recognized by Owens Corning as a company that pledges to recycle ALL of our shingles.
In the photo above, at C. Carney Environmental in Raynham, you can see the incoming shingle pile on the left-hand side. It is then cleaned, metal separated, and then ground up to 1/4″ minus for roads, which is the clean pile on the right-hand side. Nothing goes into a landfill!
It is our mission to offer only the highest quality, most energy-efficient products, and services on the market that we, ourselves, use in our homes. Additionally, we focus on the greening of our business by utilizing technology to reduce print and paper materials, reduce waste by partnering with environmentally conscientious manufacturers, and recycle as much construction debris as possible. Let’s all do our part and preserve our way of life for our children.
5. PVC Recycling
Beantown Home Improvements has partnered with The Azek Company and Cape Cod Lumber to take PVC recycling to the next level. With dedicated 44″ x 44″ bins available at our Grove Street location, we’re making it easier than ever to keep PVC products out of landfills. We can recycle everything from PVC pipe and trim to PVC decking and even vinyl siding. Simply bring your clean PVC — free of nails, screws, or other contaminants, and no composite decking — and recycle with confidence, knowing it will be responsibly processed and repurposed.

While searching for contractors to complete an entire exterior home renovation, we quickly realized Beantown Home Improvements outshone the rest!Derek S. (Project Manager - Roofing) and his crew replaced the roof (Owens Corning TruDefinition … More in Onyx Black), installed Velux skylights with solar blinds, and installed a solar attic fan. Derek and his crew exhibited enthusiasm, professionalism, and a great work ethic. He kept us well-informed with updates and even provided drone footage of the project.John F. (Project Specialist) spent countless hours turning our vision into reality. His unparalleled patience, knowledge, and genuineness were remarkable. John never rushed us into making a decision and was always available to answer the endless questions posed to him.To complete the transformation, in stepped the logistical and physical masterminds of the project (Nick G. and Jim E.). The project consisted of 57 new construction windows (52 Andersen 400 series and 5 ProVia), roughly 3,000 square feet of James Hardie siding (Pearl Gray), 2 roof extensions, TimberTech decking (English Walnut), VYCOR housewrap, Low-E insulation, 6” seamless gutters - to name the bulk of it. Although the majority of Nick’s (Operation Manager) work may be behind the scenes, it did not go unnoticed to us just how amazing he is. His and Jim E.’s (Installation Manager) precision and attention in the logistical and physical aspects of the project make the process run like a very well-oiled machine. Again, always responsive, genuine, professional, personable, and patient.Once the project began, Jim provided daily updates and was always available. He is a true master of the craft and echoed the recurring top-notch sentiments we have for Beantown HI. Jim’s crew, led by Estuardo, was phenomenal. Rarely these days will you find such a fine group of men with an unrivaled work ethic and truly skilled craftsmanship.Brian T. (Master Carpenter - Decking) and crew (Patrick K., Avery K., David J. - missing the names of others) constructed 2 roof extensions to alleviate long-standing issues with water infiltration. Additionally, the crew cut back existing decking and replaced it with TimberTech decking. The crew was friendly and also reflected the excellent values Beantown HI represents.If you are searching for any exterior home renovations, look no further than Beantown HI. You will truly be overwhelmed by their craftsmanship, work ethic, genuineness, and all top-notch attributes anyone would want in a contractor.
