Then they prescribe and prioritize real solutions based on proven building science. At the end of each job, a second assessment confirms that the desired performance improvements have been achieved.The result is work that’s done right – the first time. Energy efficiency is enhanced for the long-term, while occupant comfort, health and safety are not just protected, but often dramatically improved. Show less

      Radon gas is prevalent in Colorado. The only way to find out if your home has unhealthy levels of radon is to perform a test. The EPA recognizes the limited reliability and usefulness of certain short term tests (typical 48 hour test for a Real Estate transaction). As such, we do not recommend pre-purchase radon testing. We recommend conducting a longer term test under normal living conditions after moving in, (something we are not equipped to offer) which is more likely to predict the actual need for radon mitigation. You will be able to control the "closed house" conditions (often an issue with home sellers) for the duration of the test and will likely achieve more accurate results. Test kits are readily available for a nominal cost. You can purchase the kits online or at most big box stores or home centers. Check with your local County as they often have radon test kits available at no cost. Show less
