The case for renovation grows stronger every day - thanks for participating in this movement through the Des Moines Rehabbers Club.

A new report produced by the Nationl Trust for Historic Preservation called "The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse", concludes that, when comparing buildings of equivalent size and function, building reuse almost always offers environmental savings over demolition and new construction.

Happy renovation!
