A dramatic turnaround— and major energy savings to go with it

When Guy DeMascole purchased Scotch Grove Apartments in Pulaski, NY, the complex was in disrepair. “When I saw it, I knew it could be a diamond in the rough,” Guy said. In collaboration with Annette, his wife and business partner, Guy launched into a comprehensive overhaul. Aesthetic and structural improvements were an important part of Guy’s vision for the complex north of Syracuse. But he had another goal: improving the buildings’ energy efficiency. Guy knew that keeping energy costs down—particularly in Pulaski’s frigid winters—would help him attract and keep tenants.
