  • Protecting job site air quality

  • Using no or low VOC paints, stains, clear finishes, adhesives and sealers

  • Providing eco-friendly alternatives for home insulation

  • Encouraging the use of energy efficient heating, cooling and power systems

  • Encouraging the use of LED and fluorescent lighting

  • Installing energy-efficient appliances, windows, toilets and other fixtures

We continually learn and execute green building practices by: 

  • Providing continuing education to our employees regarding sustainable building practices

  • Obtaining information from our suppliers on the newest, eco-friendly products

  • Aggressively encouraging our subcontractors and vendors to provide sustainable alternatives

  • Using local vendors to minimize carbon footprint
