Do Something With Your Driveway



A driveway without solar is dead space. Novel Remodeling believes the simplest solution is the best. So if you have a driveway, make something of it with a Solar CarPort installation.

Do Something With Your Driveway

All a carport does on its own is protect your vehicle from the sun. Integrate solar paneling directly with the structure to transform it into a solar roof, that equipped with a charging station, becomes a self sustained energy source for your vehicle.

Be Smart About Your Solar Energy, Not Ugly

In an attempt to catch solar energy, many households sacrifice their yards to install an unfortunate looking garden of solar panels to their landscape. Unlike ground mounted solar panels, carports don’t require you to isolate valuable land just for the sake of generating energy.

Take a look at Whole Foods. They have over 325 kilowatts of solar paneling above their massive parking lot in their largest New York location. It’s just smart business. Why choose to leave space wasted?

If you are the current owner of a non-solar carport, it’s possible to upgrade what you have simply by installing solar panels onto it. The change could not be easier with a licensed contractor like Novel Remodeling, your neighbors in the Burbank area.

For the curious homeowners, solar carports are bare cents away from being as energy efficient as rooftop solar. Have a look here.

Expand Your Solar Energy Life


This may not be your first venture with solar. Just like solar roofing installation, solar water heaters, cellphone chargers, blinds (yes they exist) a solar carport is just the next logical step for an increasingly green lifestyle.


The fact is, solar roofing requires a smart streamlining of energy consumption. We know what it’s like to really hunt down energy efficient appliances, but adding a car to that equation makes it keep your solar energy cost low. That’s why a solar carport is a great addition to any green-centric household. It takes care of itself, not adding a burden to what you already have.

Now is Better Than Ever

It’s not 2010 anymore. Just as cellphones went from bricks to slats, solar carports have streamlined as competition has driven down costs.

In 2010 solar carports could cost up to $8.5 thousand just to install. Now, that number is around $2.5 in 2017.

From an industry standpoint the game has completely changed. But it goes even further.
Burbank Water and Power is offering incredible rebates on charging stations for your electric vehicles starting at 1k. Use this money to help fund your solar carport project.

Because these are government funded, the energy industry doesn’t really want you knowing about these sales, but now that you know, it makes installing a solar carport all too feasible.

Kitchen Remodeling Anxiety is the Trend in LA

In Los Angeles pulling the trigger on any renovation truly feels like a commanded final decision, the sort of thing that either racks up the value of a home or plummets it to the size of a pea. With contract work I take a middle stance between making suggestions on potential home improvement because all in all I want the homeowner to point blank just say what they need out of their kitchen remodeling job. The reason is simple. You remodel for you. Not for your friends / the next homeowners / the mailman. You remodel your kitchen for you. So you can tell me about how you can’t have your dream kitchen because it’ll stick out too much in a neighborhood that’s not heading your way. I’ll say don’t worry about it. Let them fall behind. I’ll lead you through the biggest kitchen remodeling phobias homeowners have had, and explain how clearly it never mattered.

Unleash the Succulent

Los Angeles makes it hard on green lawns for their landscaping. It’s not grass’s fault that it swallows up 9% of California’s water usage, a thirsty luxury to maintain. In a drought, that number might seem a little unreasonable, especially in the summer when grass browns in an instant and soaks up your water bill while still managing to work up your allergies. Maybe it’s time for a replacement. Consider the succulent. You’ve noticed them before - planted in anything from teacups to old shoes. It’s a competition to the bottom to find the tiniest place these fat little plants can burrow their roots in. But what if I told you that succulents were being held down? That you need to unleash the succulent into your next landscaping project. Landscapers in Los Angeles are stepping up their game with these plants. Too vibrant to deny, a succulent makes the most out of your garden. But they’re more than just pretty. Succulents have ...
