Here at All-Build lately, there has been a lot of talk about going green. After all, business doesn't have to be just business. We would like to see All-Build Construction be more than just a business. We want to be a business that gives back to our planet and to our community. That is why we would like to start doing renovations designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint. It is our goal to work in larger, multi-unit buildings, which beyond the great benefits for the climate, also presents great benefits to the owners and tenants. Here is just a few.

For landlords, green buildings put you ahead of the competition. They set you apart from the rest of the market. Each unit becomes more valuable and commands higher rent prices.

Green homes typically rent at a much faster rate as a whole new crowd will be drawn to the property.

Operating costs will lower dramatically, further adding to your bottom line.

There are tax breaks and incentives offered to energy efficient owners.

Nearly all those who invested in energy saving renovations see a return on that investment in less than ten years.

So, why not reduce negative environmental impact and save money at the same time?

We have comprised a list of six budget friendly ideas to brighten up your kitchen.

Makeover your kitchen with paint. The walls, cabinets, and floors can all be painted to change the look and feeling of your kitchen.
Reface kitchen cabinet doors. The cabinets can be painted or you can resurface them to give texture or replace with glass.
Update countertops. A low-cost alternative is laminate. Wilsonart and Formica brand laminate can give the same look of granite or marble at a lower cost. It’s available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns. Ceramic tile is another affordable option for countertops, with a range of colors and finishes available.
Replacing cabinet hardware. A simple change in handles can give it a new look. Some knobs and handles can be very pricy keep in mind your budget.
Replacing cabinets with open shelving. If you like the open look, you can remove your cabinet doors and create an open shelving look.
Refresh the flooring. Replacing your floor all together is one alternative. However, if you have wood floors consider painting or resurfacing. Vinyl tile is another flooring alternative
