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.

Our 30 year old home was in need of more than the usual minor board replacement and repaint after this past winters rain and wind storms. After some consideration we came to the conclusion it was time for a major face lift with products … More that could withstand the elements better than our cedar siding and other wood product exterior items. While researching new products that we were interested in one name always came up as an available contractor. That was Beantown Home Improvements. Not only did they work with all the products we had interest in but they were backed by fantastic reviews as well. We gave them a call and Jim and John came out to discuss what we were looking for on our homes exterior. After some discussion and quotes on pricing we signed with Beantown to install new James Hardie siding, ProVia windows and TimberTech decking. Every aspect of our dealings with Beantown were fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone. From working out the details and costs with Jim and John to working with Jim and Brian and their entire team during the construction process. Whenever we had a question or concern it was handled quickly and professionally. As mentioned in many of these other reviews the Beantown team is extremely hard working and cleans up the area at the end of each work day. We are very pleased we selected Beantown Home Improvement and our home shows the detail to quality construction they provide.

My 20 year old home was experiencing lots of wood rot and issues with poorly installed Hardy Planks. It was a huge project with multiple issues. I had multiple estimates and quotes but went with Beantown because they were the ONLY company … More that broke everything down, compared products and costs, didnt try to upsell and basically provided me with a sense of trust. They arrived ready to go, pulling 12 hour days in intense heat. Any questions throughout the week long project were handled quickly and informatively. Excellent clean up. Highly recommend. I could not be happier.

I received several quotes for my roof replacement. I chose Beantown Home Improvements because of Derek Straughn’s quick response and follow up. My neighbor had recommended Beantown, and I know how pleased he was with their work.Derek was … More very professional throughout the process. He followed up with the quote and answered all of my questions. He communicated the timeline clearly so I knew what to expect. The crew arrived as scheduled and did a complete and quality replacement in just one day. It was a pleasure to do business with Beantown Home Improvements because they do what they say they are going to do. I feel like I received the highest quality roof replacement at the best price. I highly recommend Beantown Home Improvement for your roof replacement.

My family had a major renovation project (roof & siding) and I was at a loss as to where to begin. As soon as Beantown came to give us an estimate, I was so impressed with their knowledge and presentation that I knew they were the company … More I would feel comfortable working with on this job. Jim was patient with me as I made all my decisions. In sometimes bitter cold weather, their extremely hard-working crew worked quickly yet precisely to complete the job in the time frame given to us. The lines of communication were always open for me and Beantown addressed all my questions and concerns until the project was completed. And the result is that our 46-year-old home, and outbuildings, have been restored to beauty once again. I highly recommend Beantown Home Improvements for all your construction projects.
