GREEN MATTERS

. . . working for a better tomorrow . . .

Recently, Elite Kitchen and Bath and Express Contracting made a commitment toward sustainable business practices plus offering sustainable building materials and techniques to our clients. We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary by looking toward a positive and healthy future.

“Currently businesses are not even obligated to sort out their recyclable materials of any kind”, say owner Yeheskel Sharbani. “But for a variety of reasons we, at Elite kitchen and Bath and Express Contracting, decided to make a concerted effort to do our part with making our business become more and more green and offering Green Building Options to our clients. Sometimes things meet a critical mass and it inspires change. It’s what is happening in our country, in the world and it is happening in our company. As a matter of fact, it’s past our 25th Business Anniversary and we see this is a great way forward toward the next 25 years.”

• Express Contracting is offering Green Building Audits which will inform clients about a variety of issues related to Energy Efficiency and a Healthy Environment. These audits are designed to create a savings from improving efficiency and reduce or eliminate toxins that are already within our homes.
  
• Express Contracting is now donating salvageable materials and used appliances to “Build It Green! NYC”; a non-profit organization collects and selling salvaged building materials. (www.bignyc.org.)
  
• They are also donating Kitchen Cabinetry when removed from a home (which saves demolition and carting fees for the owner and also creates tax credit for the owner) by working with another non-profit organization “Green Demolitions” (www.greendemolitions.org) .
  
• Elite Kitchen and Bath and Express Contracting are recycling materials generated from the office and in the field.

"We’re eliminating use of disposable paper and plastic eating materials. We’re not claiming to have a Zero Carbon Footprint or being 100% Green. Part of sustainability is practicality and longevity, so we’re taking steps one at a time. And that’s what we’re offering to our clients. No pressure. No browbeating. Whatever feels comfortable and appropriate to the project is being offered out of green materials or green mechanical techniques. It’s an opportunity to think about our children and our children’s children – contributing to the community at large."
