EarthCraft Certification

EarthCraft certification is one of the industry's most stringent standards of ensuring that your home is built to the highest levels of energy efficiency, indoor air quality, toxin-free products, and the efficient use of renewable materials. Every home must pass inspection at least twice during the building process - once, before sheetrock is installed, and again before closing. Compliance relies on these overall categories:

Site planning & home design
The efficiency of the home's "envelope" and energy systems
Lighting and appliances
Building materials
Water usage & waste management
Indoor air quality
The builder's operations & recycling methods
Homebuyer education

The process is so exhaustive that only an elite group of homebuilders were selected for our community. So you can consider an EarthCraft-certified home your guarantee of quality.

moving green, and save some too!

Pack with used boxes and supplies whenever you can. You can find them at grocery, liquor or other stores.
Use your old blankets to wrap your furniture.
Use your towels and clothes to wrap up your breakables. It's less trash, and more saved money.
Pack yourself. Moving companies generate a lot of waste.
Rent the right-sized moving truck. If not, you'll burn extra gas and maybe a hole in your pocket.

I could just tell, as soon as they started construction, that my house was going to be done right. And it was. They even finished early. I couldn't be happier.
