Sam Brusco decided to make renovations his full-time profession several years ago. Impressed with his skills and sincerity, his clients and their friends have been continually asking Sam to do bigger and more complex projects. He now designs, plans, manages and personally works on 5- and 6-figure home renovation projects with a crew of professionals.

Brusco Design & Renovation is dedicated to quality, integrity, honesty, friendliness, cleanliness, cheerfulness, and working with our clients and trades professionals to bring out innovative ideas to solve our clients' problems.  Read Sam Brusco's creed.

Now that Sam Brusco has been awarded the designation of Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist, he is developing another seminar called Staying in Your Own Home after 65 -- maintaining a safe, active and independent lifestyle.  The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with the AARP developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) program.  According to the AARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to continue living in a familiar environment, which means living in their own home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.  This education and experience allows Brusco Design & Renovation to "make your house a home for a lifetime".

The National Association of Home Builders’ Certified Green Professional™ designation recognizes builders, remodelers and other industry professionals who incorporate green building principles into homes— without driving up the cost of construction. Classwork leading to the designation provides a solid background in green building methods.  In mid-October 2008, Sam Brusco will complete the requirements for this distinction.

Brusco Design & Renovation has been recycling waste and using existing materials such as existing doors, windows, moldings on projects.  This practice lowers costs for the client by using what they already have.  Environmentally speaking, it reduces waste and the need to make and ship new products.  The wood products (doors and moldings) already match the existing architecture of the home, so it's a win-win-win situation.  Brusco Design & Renovation uses sustainable, low environmental impact products during renovations, such as low-VOC paints and renewable products.  We use the best insulating products that is appropriate for the task, such as Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), to reduce heating and cooling costs for our clients, which in turn reduces environmental impact.
