 You don’t have to be extreme to go green. A green home simply uses more durable materials in a manner that is practical in every sense of the word. In fact, 90% of green is in the first 10% of planning. Contrary to popular belief, the materials used to create a green home can take on any appearance: modern, colonial, traditional, cottage style, seaside retreat, contemporary, mountain lodge, craftsman style—you name it. You decide on the style that you want (remember, these are truly custom homes) and our green team will do the rest. The best compliment we could get? “I thought you said this was a green home” The My Green Cottage building system starts with a sturdy, tight building envelope, eco-friendly sealants and energy-efficient design. Next, we add Hardiplank siding, stone veneer and other low-maintenance/highly durable products from the nearest responsible source. Then we incorporate Energy Star: windows, doors, lighting fixtures and appliances as well as low-flow plumbing fixtures. Finally, our eco-designers help you make healthy selections for cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, paint, stain, trim work and more. Request Free Information
