From the slab to the attic, the entire house was re-insulated. All windows were replaced by Energy Star-certified aluminum/wood windows. All exterior siding was replaced with factory-stained wood siding. The entire roof was re-roofed, skylights replaced and balconies and sidewalks rebuilt. All the building’s mechanical systems were overhauled: an air exchanger was added, electrical and plumbing systems were completely replaced, and a heat pump was added. The two masonry wood-burning fireplaces were replaced by a new EPA-certified wood-burning fireplace and a gas fireplace. Several rooms were reconfigured and redone: the kitchen, bathrooms, basement divisions and upstairs “juliette”. All thefloor coverings were replaced, as were the staircase railings. The wooden steps were restored on site, and the original ceiling beams were simply repainted.
