Tree reclamation

A large Aleppo pine needed to be taken down at the Neuhaus project and we decided to make the best use of it as possible. West Coast Milling planed it into planks to be reclaimed as tables or benches once properly dried out. We can't wait to see the final creation!

The planks are spaced apart so they can dry out

Renewable Energy

We installed a 9.3 kW solar photovoltaic system on the roof at the Neuhaus residence which will offset an estimated 63% of predicted energy use! After state incentives, this system should pay back the homeowners after 3 years. Not to mention, it earned the project a full 10 LEED credits in the EA10 - Renewable Energy credit category.
