Our presence as a green builder for the Willamette Valley has sparked more interest in sustainable new construction and remodels each year we have operated.  Whether it is solar panels, rain harvest systems, low flow plumbing, or LED lighting everyone is getting excited about eco-friendly living.  Not a week goes by that someone doesn’t stop one of our people and say “I see your signs everywhere, what are you building now?”

The motto of our company, “building a greener community, one building at a time,” is gaining strength and popularity so we are proud to continue living it.  Thank you to all of our supporters out there, spread the word, save the planet.  Happy New Year!
