The REX Project is now a home

Less than a year ago we wondered if we could build a house without a dumpster. Well the answer is yes! We deconstructed a house and built a house without a drop box. Our total waste was two and a half pick up trucks. One load was our plaster. Even though you can reuse plaster, ours contained lead paint and we were unable to separate it. The other one and a half load surprised me. Most of it was the non-recyclable food containers that the subcontractors brought on sight. Lesson learned. Next time, I will insist that crews bring there thermos, and paper bag it. By using our own materials we currently have saved over $40,000.00 Not soo shabby for the first time.

Crews Behind the Scenes

Once a home is complete you only see the exterior and interior beauty of it. But there are so many on site that are behind the scenes, or should I say behind the walls that contribute to the success of great building.

NW FOAM HOME were our spray foam insulation company that we chose. I mentioned earlier that they used Demilec Spray. Well, they were an incredible group of people to work with. They accidentally got some foam on the garage door and before I noticed it, they told me about it, cleaned it up and all was good. That is a strong sense of character. They were professional, believed in their work, communication was awesom and we love the results.

KEMPER DRYWALL of course was our drywall company we went with. I would make a call and boom within hours or a day they were on site and completed whatever needed to be done. There was even a major repair that needed to be done and they fixed it at no charge. Ask for Dan or Kemper and trust me, you can't go wrong.

PREVENT TECH NW, they sprayed to prevent mold and mildew to our wood framing before the sheetrock went up. Less then one day, actually just hours and they had completely covered the whole house. Emery is the fella you want to chat with. Less mold and Mildew is always a win-win in my book.

WOOD CRAFTERS and MOULDINGS AND MILLWORK, Carl and Bryce from Wood Crafters and Nate Freese from Mouldings and Millwork are 100% on the button with any question you might have. Their suggestions save money. And the green materials they recommend are top notch.

If you are remodeling or new construction, go with these companies. You will NOT have builder nightmares.
