By expanding unused attic space, Steve Heiteen Construction was able to create more space and improve the performance of this home. The dormer that was added, along with new windows and skylights, allow these home owners to rely on the sun, rather than electricity, to light their home. The high-performance windows that were selected help the home stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

In the new kitchen, the existing cabinets were preserved and the new marble countertop was discovered in the remnant pile at the stone supplier. High-efficiency appliances contribute to the overall efficiency of the home.
