Jackson Remodeling LLC is now fully compliant with the new EPA requirements that take effect April 22, 2010. 

Building on our commitment to create healthier homes for our clients, we have taken steps to become a Certified Firm.  And after completing 8 hours of training with EPA trainers, each and every team member is now a Certified Renovator.  This makes Jackson Remodeling qualified to work on older homes in ways that are safer for the residents, especially children.

Most of the new requirements have to do with keeping a clean job site and protecting the home from dust - things we have always done.  But we learned a trick or two, and are already incorporating these new procedures into our remodels.

Jackson Remodeling had the privilege of working with our clients on Phinney Ridge and Smart Solar Solution, to create a photovoltaic koi pond gazebo (our first!).  It turned out so cool that Smart Solar Solution showed it off during the Solar Washington Tour, October 3, 2009.

Jackson Remodeling has been doing green remodels since 2001, but until now have still remodeled with traditional methods and materials as well. No more. In June, Jackson announced that green will now be the ONLY way they do business. Once they complete a few jobs already in design, the firm will simply not build with materials or methods unless they are sustainable, efficient, and healthy.

The Building Industry Association of Washington recognized Jackson Remodeling by awarding their entry "Best bathroom over $75,000" in the 2008 REX awards in June.

May, 2006 - Jackson Remodeling was awarded one of the industry's highest honors May 18th, when they were added to Remodeling Magazine's prestigious BIG 50 list.
