FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 2, 2007
GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES ARE INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT TO HOMEOWNERS WITH HOME REMODELING PROJECTS
The “Go Green” philosophy is hitting the mainstream with a national rise in homeowner interest.
Portland, Ore. August 2, 2007 – ReliableRemodeler.com, a leading home remodeling resource for homeowners providing a trusted
connection between homeowners and local contractors, is announcing the results of the first of a series of surveys on the subject
of green building. The results of this first survey show that, across the board, homeowners are becoming increasingly concerned
about environmentally friendly green
building practices.
Sixty percent of homeowners surveyed stated that green building practices were more important to them now than they were five
years ago. Recent media attention on environmental issues, such as global warming, seems to have translated into increased concern
by homeowners about how they are impacting the environment. The
full green building survey results can be found on ReliableRemodeler.com.
"People are thinking more and more about 'going green' in many different parts of their life, this includes when they are
thinking about remodeling projects. There is a definite rise in interest that has been seen over the years as homeowners become
more and more aware of what options are available for green building," said Eric Doebele, President and co-founder of
ReliableRemodeler.com.
While many label green building as being the newest remodeling fad, homeowners' answers show the opposite. Sixty-six percent
of homeowners surveyed believe that green building isn't just a passing trend. While women seemed more convinced of this fact,
with 73% stating they believed it to be more than just a trend, 53% of men still agreed.
On both sides of the Mississippi green building was also seen as more than just a fad. Seventy-one percent of Westerners and
61% of Easterners believed that green building would continue to stay as a remodeling technique. Green building will likely
continue to increase in the coming years as a new alternative to traditional home remodeling.
