Chapman Construction, LLC
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 15, 2017
“Troy and Mick were respectful & professional while spending the better part of 8 months in our home renovating our upstairs to create a walk-in closet and playroom area, replacing our railings & bannisters, while also finishing our basement. Pricing was done on an hourly basis. Custom work was completed on a featured reclaimed barnwood wall and walnut bar top as well as the railings & bannisters.”
Carlisle Classic Homes
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 5, 2013
“I have referred Carlisle Classic Homes to many of my clients and will continue to do so, as they are a great company to work with. As an architect with H2D Architecture + Design, I enjoy working in a team format with my clients and the builder. I have worked with Alex, at Carlisle Classic Homes, on several remodel projects and he is excellent to work with. He is very detailed oriented, budget conscious, looks ahead in the project to foresee potential problems or complications, and has good communication skills. My clients have also been pleased with Carlisle Classic Homes' craftsmanship and responsiveness to their requests during construction.”
Building Concepts LLC
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2013
“I used them for a very small job because of my budget and was treated just like I was spending a million dollars. Very professional, on time, and conscientious of the quality of work done. Electrical and hanging light fixtures, but they do it all.”
Distinctive Domain
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 26, 2014
“One of the best companies to deal with in the area. In my over 30 years of dealing with builders and subs in the construction field, I would rate them among the top few. In fact if I was going to build myself a new home or make a addition they would be among my top choices.”
Fazzolari Custom Homes & Renovations
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 3, 2014
“In 2005, my Wife and I relocated back to the Vancouver area from florida. We were in the market for a one level house and very few were available or at least not the suited our needs. We were introduced to Fazzolari Custom Homes. John worked with us in locating a lot and then worked with my Wife and I in developing the floor plan that we wanted. John and his crew continued to work with us all through the building process on any changes. As an example, We were visiting the building site on this one day while the framing was in process. The crew just happened to be framing one of the bathrooms in one of the master bedrooms (there are two) and were laying out the shower area. My Wife and I left the site and went to a local restaurant for lunch and my Wife said she wasn't sure she liked the shower design and she did a few quick sketches on a napkin. We went back to the house and showed the changes to Johns Forman and even though the original design had been started he pulled up the framing ,laid out the new changes my Wife had sketched on the napkin. Now that won't happen with the average builder. We would recommend John Fazzolari for any project you may be planning. You won't be disappointed.”

Nu Wavz Homes
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 12, 2013
“Dan from Nu Wavz Homes builds custom homes, but he also does remodels and other various things around the home. We hired Dan to build us a custom "in wall" entertainment center where there was a big hole. What an amazing design and job he did. He listened to us, he was very quick and clean with his work and his workers listened to me and my wife and did EXACTLY what we wanted. He also converted a wine rack into a plate rack for us. We don't drink any wine so it wasn't needed. You would never know that it didn't come built in like that. I will hire Dan again hands down. If you are looking for a custom home builder, or someone to just do remodels around the house - HIRE DAN!”
Martin Modular Builders

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 3, 2015
“Kevin is a professional who is very experienced in his architectural skills. He is very personable and provides excellent service. His up to date, on site knowledge of every town(s) vast array of laws is beneficial to providing a huge difference in scheduling and budgeting our past and future architectural drawings.”
LTB Properties
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 26, 2015
“I called Scott at LTB Propoerties in a bind: the condo above mine had a significant leak which came through the ceiling in my unit's living room and brought half the ceiling down. I called Scott on a Thursday and he was able to get in there, inspect it, and do the demo work on Friday. By Monday, the sheet rock was hung and sealed, and by Tuesday, it was painted and looked like nothing had ever happened. Scott's responsiveness meant minimal inconvenience for my tenant. He was professional and extremely responsive, even helping me by providing before/during/after pictures for the insurance claim I had to make. Scott and LBT Properties came highly recommended by a friend, and I would DEFINITELY recommend him.”

Custom Home Builder FAQs
The duration of constructing an energy-efficient home varies based on the projectʼs complexity, size, and customization level. Typically, it can range from 6 months to 18 months. Planning and design phases are crucial and can take additional time, as these stages determine the energy-saving features to be incorporated. Communication with your builder about timelines is key to managing expectations.
Selection of materials involves choosing high-quality, sustainable, and energy-efficient options, such as triple-paned windows, advanced insulation materials (like spray foam or cellulose), and non-toxic building materials for healthier indoor air quality. Design trends focus on maximizing natural light, using renewable energy sources, and implementing smart home technologies for efficient energy use. Energy-Efficient Home Builders stay informed about the latest trends and innovations in sustainable construction to provide the best options to their clients.
Homeowners should begin by researching and defining their sustainability and energy efficiency goals. Obtaining an energy audit of their current home, if applicable, can offer insights into potential energy savings. Establishing a realistic budget that includes a buffer for unforeseen expenses is also crucial. Lastly, interviewing and selecting a builder with proven experience and expertise in energy-efficient projects is essential for achieving the desired outcome.
Common challenges include managing project costs, sourcing sustainable materials, and adhering to local building codes and regulations. Experienced Energy-Efficient Home Builders navigate these challenges by maintaining transparent communication, offering alternative solutions when budget constraints arise, and ensuring all designs and materials comply with regulations. They leverage their expertise to keep the project on track while meeting energy efficiency goals.
Seek builders with certifications such as ENERGY STAR, LEED, or the National Green Building Standard (NGBS). These certifications indicate that the builder adheres to strict energy efficiency and environmental sustainability standards. Additional credentials, such as a Certified Green Professional (CGP) or a Passive House certification, further demonstrate a builderʼs commitment to energy-efficient practices.
Engage with your builder about incorporating flexible and upgradable energy systems into your home design, such as solar panel-ready roofing or adaptable HVAC systems. Staying informed about new technologies and sustainability trends through reputable sources can also guide future updates to your home. Regular maintenance checks and energy audits can identify opportunities for improvements, ensuring your home remains efficient and sustainable in the long run.
