Ideal Bite

Breaking a sweat over (gulp) renovations? Give your handy-andy a rest and chill out with the dream team at GreenWerks, a local group of green contractors and LEED-accredited architects ready to tackle fixer-upper projects big and small, whether you need a simple nontox paint job or a full-on retrofit. (These guys’ll give you the why too. We asked: What makes bamboo flooring better? It’s renewable, yes, but can also be 100 times stronger than oak with a 50-year finish.) Still anxious? Think how your lungs (and wallet) will feel: an eco-smart remodel gets you better indoor air quality and lower gas-electric bills. (Draft-free double-pane windows coming soon to our loft apartment.) Now, no need to fret.
