Reliable Bob saved this vintage tub from the dump, and saved the owners about 50% of the cost of a new jumbo soaking tub.
Red Oak follows a sustainable business plan. The company minimizes its carbon footprint in the following ways.
1. Red Oak Renovations seeks local customers. By limiting driving time to a job to 30 minutes, the company's vehicles pollute less. Red Oak seeks customers in the following towns.
In Southern New Hampshire: Brookline, Hollis and southern Nashua.
2. Red Oak advocates remodeling instead of demolition. Renovations and additions save the customer money and results in more square footage for the dollar, compared to moving or demolition. It saves the environment by minimizing waste
3. Red Oak will design around existing and recycled furnishings and fixtures. For example, in his own home, Reliable Bob installed a salvaged kitchen sink and bathtub, which are functional, low-carbon, low cost, unique fixtures. See photos under "A Whole House Renovation" on this site.
4. The owner of Red Oak follows a low-impact lifestyle. Red Oak Renovations is Bob's encore career. He departed from the jet-set, high-carbon lifestyle in corporate America, which significantly reduced his income. He and his family adjusted their lifestyle. They buy less stuff.
