Beantown Home Improvements is GREEN!
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.

Beantown home improvements recently built us a new deck and demolished our old one. The project went smoothly from start to finish. The owner, Jim, came to our house, gave us quotes and explained our options. Brian’s crew was friendly, … More hard working and professional. The finished deck is high quality and looks great. We love it! The whole experience with Beantown was excellent and we would highly recommend them.

My wife and I have been homeowners for 46 years and over that time we have had many home improvement projects ranging from small to very large and extensive. Working with Beantown Home Improvement was easily one of the best experiences … More we've had. We were looking to replace our cedar clapboard and shingle siding with vinyl for ease of maintenance. We also wanted to strip off the existing siding to expose any rot or other hidden issues due to the ravages of time. Elias met with us on-site and we jointly walked through the entire project, discussing various options and just how the work would be performed. He was very professional and easy to work with. He answered my questions in detail and made sure we understood the scope of the work.After signing the contract we had a target date for the work to begin. We were kept apprised of any date shift due to weather or stock availability and work began right on time.The crew were also very professional and efficient. the Project Manager went over the plan with me to answer any last minute questions. It was obvious the crew knew just what they were doing as they each went about their separate tasks from setting up staging to stripping off the old siding.Upon inspection after the old siding was removed there was some rot discovered which required replacing 7.5 sheets of sheathing. This possibility was noted in the contract so it was not a surprise.All of the trim was wrapped with vinyl-coated aluminum which was cut and bent on-site. The entire job was moved like clockwork and was finished in 3 days. We were more than impressed with the quality, speed and overall professionalism with which this project was completed. We would not hesitate to recommend Beantown Home Improvement to family and friends.

From the very start ,Dan, the sales representative was extremely helpful in answering the many questions we had regarding the siding of our house. He told us that we may have to wait a few months as they were booked, but if they had an … More opening they would side the house sooner. True to his word they came as soon as they could. Just two months after our first contact with Beantown, they were ready to side our house. They explained how the process would take place, and it all happened just as they said. The work was done in two days. The workers were extremely professional. On day one of the job I returned home from work and saw that they had removed all the old siding and shingles, and had already started framing the windows. My husband said there were 12 workers present on the second day. I came home from work to see that my entire house was sided. Several neighbors had stopped by to tell me how well they worked. They also commented on the great job. I was completely overjoyed to see my house, absolutely beautiful! Jim, the siding manager, was also fantastic, and he was very responsive to any questions we had. We are so please with the job they did and we would highly recomment them to anyone who wants a job done well. Thank you, Thank you Beantown.
