Dedicated to Environmentally Responsible
Design, Building, Remodeling, and Renovation
You have just discovered a Portland native, grassroots company that is passionate about bringing environmental responsibility into the new construction and remodeling industries. We want to see the Green Building industry go from catchy buzzwords and niche markets to Standard Building Practices that every person can afford. From large commercial and residential builds, to simple residential kitchen and bath remodeling, we are here to make your vision a reality.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Environmental Works is always searching for products and practices that are sustainable and responsible. We use reclaimed, recycled, and FSC certified building materials as much as possible, and always encourage them. We also encourage formaldehyde-free and low VOC (volatile organic compounds) products including flooring, cabinets, insulation, caulks and adhesives, and paint. Your indoor air quality and physical health is important to us!
Improving a customer’s energy efficiency through conservation, as well as upgrading windows, insulation, appliances, and fixtures is an important part of every project we complete. Recycling plastics, cardboard, and other containers; using paper and re-usable canvas for covering work areas; and promoting recycled or reclaimed products are but a few ways that we demonstrate our dedication to sustainability, one project at a time.
