Going Green in Small Ways

As seen in: The Washington Times 5/24/2012 by Michele Lerner

There are many different ways that you can redo your home’s interior to make it more eco-friendly with either big or small projects around your home.  One of the first things that you can do while beginning one of these  these home renovation projects is to locally obtain or purchase your materials or reuse materials that you already may have around your home.  Local products are anything that you can get within 500 miles from your place of residence.

Here are a few different eco-friendly ways that you can update your home:

1. You can recycle and update furniture and other items you have around your home that have sentimental value to you to give them a whole new appearance.
2.  Reusing furniture for another use is another good way like making a kitchen table into a coffee table or bedroom dresser into an entrainment center
3. Using products like reclaimed wood (if coming from a local source), IceStone, Terrazzo is considered to be eco-friendly because they are all products made from recycled material

Any questions regarding what is covered in your  home insurance policies while completing some of these projects and many more around your home contact the Scurich Insurance Services today!
