"Outside The Box?"

What makes us call ourselves “outside the box” construction? It is because a lot of the traditional ways of building and the practices passed on from teacher to apprentice from the past 50-100 years are now found to be wrong. This is supported by the study of Building Science, or how a building works and is supposed to work. A building is not only the sum of its parts but is the cooperation of all the systems that make up the building. The shell, the insulation, the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc. all form the building and are studied to make the building systems perform better together. We think and build outside of the stereotypical “box” of construction. We search for and use better and newer ways of building to produce a better product that will last longer and perform higher than systems of the past. We also search out projects that are “out of the norm” and take pride in using unconventional building techniques to accomplish the projects. We are Outside The Box Construction and we want to show you why we are the best company for you.

Testimonials

We are very pleased with the insulation work that Outside the Box did in sealing our house from the attic and outside weather elements. And the duct seal work on our HVAC system has provided much tighter air control for further energy efficiency. Our electricity and gas bills are much lower now, and we expect that the savings will be even greater in the future as fossil fuel prices continue to rise.

My wife and I are very pleased with the work Outside the Box Construction performed for us. The energy efficiency analysis was very helpful and we now understand what we need to do to improve the insulation and heating / cooling conditions of our home. The group of workers who performed the service were courteous and well managed. The cost for the service will pay for itself after we implement the improvements that were suggested.

OTBC is a company that prides itself on integrity and punctuality. I had the most positive of experiences when working with the entire team of 'energy consultants' during my home analysis. I most appreciated Don's genuine commitment to the environment when making both simple and complex modification recommendations to my old home. It's very important for me to be 'green' and I have tried to follow OTBC's advice while utilizing their simple to follow 'priority tier'. I would without question recommend this company to anyone. I was most impressed with their punctuality and professionalism. I felt like everyone truly valued my experience and wanted to help me make a better home to live in and one that has a smaller impact on the environment. Thanks so much for asking,

OTBHS was a very big benefit to me in bringing to my attention some issues with my home that I would have never known to even check for and gave usable feedback and plans of action for accomplishing a fix. OTBHS did a thorough job on the energy home inspection. They are a company and people who are on the side of the homeowner and their goal is to help and it shows.
