HiTech asks, "How much more quickly can we take from the Earth?"

ViTech asks, "What can we give back?"

ViTech as in Viable Technology.  Some people use the phrase, Sustainable Technology.

We think it's critical to work at creating some sort of balance between taking and giving.  We've taken some nano-steps. 

We invite you to challenge us to do more. . .

During demolition we attempt to Recycle all metals from plumbing piping to storm windows to sash weights.  We haul the metals to Leder Brothers in Minneapolis.  We donate old plumbing and lighting fixtures to The Reuse Center in Minneapolis.  We recycle all packing and shipping cardboard. 

We purchase Reuse redwood for exterior repair and renovation.  A benchmark in company history occured in February, 2005.  We began using sustainably harvested lumber.  For more information about sustainably harvested lumber try www.fscus.org (That's the Forestry Stewardship Council.), www.smartwood.org or www.rainforest-alliance.org.

Many people believe that using sustainably harvested lumber adds excessively to the price. A gut bath remodel, where a wall is removed, another added and a window added, would be about 50$ more -- Money we believe is well spent.
