Ridgeview Construction is embarking on yet another new construction project, this time right on the Great Bay in Durham. We are completely demolishing the existing home, including the foundation, while preserving the natural beauty of the lot. The architect’s plans will create an attractive structure with a very energy efficient design. This family home will have fantastic views of the Great Bay while utilizing passive solar positioning along with hot water provided by solar power. The walls will be insulated with cellulose; the roof will be metal with natural cedar shingles on the exterior. This is sure to be a great example of the potential of green building.
Ridgeview Construction is proud to be working with the architect and owner of this classic Seacoast property. Our scope of work includes demolition and repair of the post & beam structure, pouring a new concrete slab in the basement as well as a complete upgrade to the plumbing and electrical systems. We will be installing a new high efficiency boiler and heat system, replacing the windows with energy efficient and beautiful Marvin Windows. Other energy improvements will include spray foam insulation in the walls, floors and ceilings. The interior will also be upgraded with a new custom kitchen, tile and wood floors and 2 new bathrooms. The outside will also be updated with new clapboard and shingle siding and exterior trim. We are looking forward to restoring and upgrading this stately home that has been home to many generations so it can be enjoyed by many more generations to come.
We are building this beautiful green home on Stone Fence Drive in Derry, NH this summer. The home will consist of 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and contain 4426 square feet of living area. We will be building a custom Timberpeg timber frame vaulted Great room within the home. Our exterior wall assembly will contain dense-packed recycled cellulose and Poly-iso foam wrapping the exterior giving us an R-value of 33. The roof will have cellulose as well and will be an R-49. The basement walls and slabs will have R-24 foam insulation. We will be using casement windows that have an R-5 or a U-value of .20 for better thermal performance. The home will be heated and cooled with a geothermal water to air system with a COP of 4.2. We will be using local and recycled materials where we can in the home and will also be using a durable and recyclable cement siding. The Ridgeview standards of low-VOC paints and finishes, water saving toilets and fixtures and Energy Star lighting and appliances will also be in this home. Breaking ground in early June!
The most recent episode of Green Screen that features Ridgeview Construction’s Shane Carter and Jon Howard discussing a Timberpeg home we are building in Derry, New Hampshire.
Ridgeview Construction is building a beautiful custom home with breathtaking ocean views in Rockport, MA. This 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath home contains 3354 sq. feet of living area and a 2-car garage. We will be using a double 2×4 wall construction system and insulating with recycled cellulose insulation for an R-36 assembly. The roof insulation will also be recycled cellulose and will be R-49. The windows and doors are high performance and super-insulated having an R-7 performance or U.14! The home is situated to take advantage of passive solar gain and will be prepared for future PV to off-set electricity consumption and will utilize solar hot water. Stained concrete floors will be used to minimize materials and costs and will be insulated with R-24 rigid foam beneath. The foundation walls will also have R-24 foam insulation and spray foam insulation on all rim bands. Site work and excavation are slated to begin in early June!
