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.”

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.”
Bercher Design & Construction
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
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.”
Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd.
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
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!!).”
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.”
Ritzman Construction LLC
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
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.”
Fortis Enterprises, LLC
Energy-Efficient Home Builders
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 26, 2016
“Ed Valley and his team at Fortis Enterprise did an amazing job for our family. This was our first experience in building a custom home and quite honestly we did not know what to expect. We could not have been happier with our experience with Fortis. Everything was on time, in budget, and no surprises what so ever. The price point was fair and they deliver a great product. They worked with us from start to finish and Ed was always available day or night if we had questions or needed anything. I have already referred Ed to several friends and I would highly recommend Fortis Enterprise to anyone considering building a custom home.”

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.
