So you think you may have mold, then it a fairly simply solution....bring in the best people you can find and be on site when they do their walk thorugh and walk around with a pad of paper. They are some of the best people in the industry.

With anything like this, I hate to be the first especially with this manufacturer. They brought out the Nest smoke detector and it get recalled. I would rather wait and watch the press and blogs and when the dust clears and all is good then starting specifiing them.

Before you do anything new...look at what is already there.
1. Do the existing windows allow drafts? Upgrade existing windows first before considering new windows. I don't think the payback is that great over existing windows that are properly maintained.
2. Is the header serviced annually? Change the filter monthly (there are so cheap), check all the ducts for breaks and tape them up. Walk around the house when the heater(s) are on and check the temperatur in each room. When you have done your homework then have a profeswsional come in.
3. Seal around the ceiling can lights on the second floor that are allowing heater air into the attic.
4. Replace the seal around all your exterior doors. This is really the case on the door from the garage to the house.

Are you planning a full remodel (in that case new cabinets will answer the problem) doing only a refresh (pull our shelves will dramatically increase storage)

Nathan,
If we average the last couple of bathoom shower with bench including new shower, drain assembly, shower value and water line, gut and redo the shower with upscale tile and venting and lighting it runs about $35k.

What experience do you have in this type of house? Can you give me names of one or two (not three) clients for which you have done this type of work? How long does it take from start of design to significant completion?
