Eco Building Products, Inc., announced today that Charlie Farkouh with Home and Land Development, Robert W. Adler & Associates Architects, Socha Builders, Inc., K. Shaw Builders, and Coastal Modular Group are all committed to building "better than raw lumber" houses in the Sandy Rebuild with Eco Red Shield houses popping up all along the New Jersey shore.
These individuals and companies have taken what they've learned in Eco's Defensive Certification Program to their homeowners, offering them protection that raw lumber could not, as this Sandy Rebuild is now a mix of wet, raw lumber houses and Eco's defensive red houses.
Mold is not a new topic to Eco Builders and Architects, and they've taken socially responsible steps to defend their customer homeowners and their new homes against the obvious outcome associated with building with wet, unprotected lumber. Since the release of UL's recent white paper, Grossi said "The recognition that mold is a cause of human health complications has catalyzed an 'uptick' in related lawsuits in the U.S." Builders and Architects schooled in Eco's Defensive Building Practices are taking a proactive approach to mitigating themselves from these types of claims that could be mounting an attack on their liability policies. If there really [is] more than 14,000 pending building mold cases, the Sandy Rebuild is the perfect place for more of these types of moisture and mold related claims. Each one of these Builders and Architects are now using Eco Red Shield on Sandy Rebuilds, with orders for more Advanced Protected Lumber coming in from lumber yards every day.
Steve Conboy, Chief Executive Officer of Eco Building Products, Inc. recently commented that "Frank Dicopoulos, actor and advocate, has a passion to educate his neighbors and friends about a more defensive, eco-friendly planet as demonstrated by his recent interview captured on camera with Robert W. Adler, and Benson from Socha Builders https://youtu.be/NTc3elfgicc. Recently, News 12 did a piece that is worth sharing, as it talks about fire and how to be proactive even on homes, not just multi-family projects. Every time Eco puts out press, Hoover Treated Wood Products sends out their Regional Business Manager, John Makuvek, to jobs using Eco Red Shield where he tries to convince builders that Eco's technology does not work because it's not pressure treated. Builders know better, and Hoover's actions are a complete misrepresentation. Eco is supported by published test results established during accredited, independent, third-party testing that demonstrates the fact that Eco's protected lumber is superior to raw lumber in ignition time and flame run, and we're gaining the support of Firefighters all around the country."
