Green California Builders Inc.
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2019
“I can't say many wonderful things about Green California Builders. I wanted to built a new home and had no idea where to start in regards to design and construction permits. I heard about these guys because of my friend. I met EZ (the main project manager) after scheduling the appointment. He guided us through the entire process with ideas, advises and material selection. I liked his vision and we agree on the budget. Few days later the project started. After few months, we now have a wonderful new house. I'm so grateful to choose these guys and I recommended them 100%!!!”
Fazzolari Custom Homes & Renovations
Green Building Companies
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.”
Maas Construction, Inc.
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 26, 2014
“We have bought two different homes from Maas Construction. Both transactions have been smooth with no problems or surprises. The quality of their homes is not surpassed by anyone. I would highly recommend this family owned business to anyone who is considering building a home.”
Acassa Construction Corporation
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 13, 2011
“Thank you for the bathroom renovations. We were impressed by the professionalism of your company. Your workers came promptly to work for a full day, every day until the renovations were complete. Gemco gave good advice about everything from tile choice to decorative layout details. This complete renovation was very messy and yet at the end of each day, Roy would clean up all the tools and pieces. He even swept the pathways on the dustier days. And at the end of the job, there was not any change to the contracted price. Everyone was extremely considerate of being in a family home. Our four young children were treated with kindness and our property was treated with respect. For these reasons, we have already referred Gemco to friends and family. ”
Baine Contracting, Inc.
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 12, 2012
“Demolition of old home and contruction of new home on the ocean front in Mantoloking, NJ. Baine Contracting was outstanding in all aspects of construction. I would highly recommend this quality builder.”
Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd.
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 4, 2014
“We have worked with Colonial Homecrafters twice. Once to build our first home and just recently to put a very large addition on the home we live in now. Colonial Homecrafters is a builder focused on quality and excellent customer service. We have had pleasant and successful working experiences both times -- we would definitely recommend Colonial Homecrafters and Eddie Goode (and have!!).”
Ritzman Construction LLC
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2013
“We hired this company in 1991 to custom build our 3200 square foot home. This is a family owned business and at that time was owned and operated by Mike Ritzman's mom and dad. They were terrific. They were on time, they were pleasant and they even returned some of our money. In the ensuing years I have had them remodel a rental property I have, plus a $30,000 repair when a large tree fell onto the roof. A couple of years ago I had them build a custom garage of about 1550 feet. This is the $50,000 - $100,000 listed in this review. Once again they did it on time and on budget. I wouldn't go anywhere else for work, whether new construction or a remodel.”
Paul Melish Builder
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 31, 2014
“I have worked with Paul on many projects over the past four years and have never had a bad experience. Paul is highly knowledgeable about all aspects of construction, but has specialized knowledge relating to the design and construction of modular structures. I first worked with Paul on Michelle Kaufmann modular homes and was struck by the depth of preparation that Paul undertook to ensure that projects flowed as smoothly as possible. He is the only builder that I have ever met who is genuinely loved by his clients. If I was in the market for a new home, Paul Melish is the only builder that I would call.”
Bercher Design & Construction
Green Building Companies
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 15, 2014
“Bercher Design and Construction recently completed a major renovation of our lake home. We could not be more pleased with the entire seven month process and our experience with the Bercher team. From the very beginning planning and design phase, to the selections, throughout the construction process we found everyone extremely customer focused and without doubt their goal was to have a satisfied customer. They clearly achieved their goal as the end result exceeded our expectations. Very importantly their motto of being considerate is an understatement. We enthusiastically and highly recommend Bercher Design and Construction to anyone considering a building project.”

Custom Home Builder FAQs
The duration of a green building project can vary widely based on its complexity, size, and specific green technologies employed. On average, a green building project may take slightly longer than a conventional one due to the careful selection of materials and implementation of innovative practices. A small to medium residential project could range from 6 to 18 months, whereas larger or more complex projects might take longer. Clear communication with your chosen company will help set realistic timelines.
Green Building Companies prioritize materials that are sustainable, recycled, or recyclable, have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, and are sourced locally when possible. Design trends lean towards maximizing natural light, improving indoor air quality, and incorporating energy-efficient systems. The choice of materials and design elements is influenced by environmental performance criteria, client preferences, and architectural trends focused on sustainability and resilience.
Homeowners should start by defining their goals for sustainability, budget, and design. Researching green building principles and familiarizing oneself with key concepts such as passive solar design, energy efficiency measures, and water conservation can be very helpful. Gathering inspiration and creating a vision board can also aid in communicating your desires to the building company. Lastly, securing financing and understanding any eligible green building incentives or rebates is crucial.
Challenges such as sourcing specific sustainable materials, adhering to green certification requirements, and managing costs are addressed through experienced project management, innovative problem-solving, and robust supplier networks. Companies stay abreast of the latest green technologies and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring project goals are met without compromising on sustainability standards.
