On Episode 8 oThat '70s Remodel, Stephanie takes us on a full-scale transformation of a dated 1970s home into a high-performance, low-maintenance property ready for Airbnb guests near Salt Lake City’s ski resorts. Starting with an upgraded building envelope using ZIP System® R Sheathing for improved thermal performance and moisture control, the remodel combines energy efficiency with curb appeal. Exterior updates include thin-cut cultured stone with custom drip flashing, cost-effective stucco with refined pop-outs, cedar decks with Cinch railing systems, and all-new windows and doors. Inside, the project features upgraded HVAC systems with variable speed furnaces, heat pumps, ERVs, spray foam insulation, and meticulous air sealing for year-round comfort. Along the way, Stephanie addresses unexpected challenges—like water damage from a hose bib mishap—with a commitment to doing the job right. From improved safety and durability to modern style and comfort, this remodel is a showcase of smart construction practices and thoughtful design choices. Follow Stephanie on Instagram.
