The High Performance Home

Building green is about more than low-E windows, low-flush toilets and spray foam insulation. It involves, but is not limited to:

  • siting your home properly on the lot or land
  • accounting for solar gain/loss
  • establishing proper air exchanges
  • utilizing correct framing techniques
  • choosing sustainable, durable and non-toxic materials and systems
  • paying attention to house “breathability”
  • reducing waste
  • incorporating xeriscaping
  • recycling during construction
  • and countless other details

There are varying degrees of green. Which hue is right for you? Don will customize a plan to meet your desires and how much you choose to spend.

Cerra Homes works with its clients to make sure the entire process goes smoothly. Don shares information about ever-evolving green technologies and how the choices you make can result in a home both green and within your budget.

"My husband and I consulted with Don on several projects that needed to be done around my home, which included interior finishing, crown molding, columns, and wainscoting in several rooms. Also creating a 5-foot opening in one wall so I could access the dining room from the kitchen. Don was so helpful, in helping me choose what style would blend in with the rest of the home. The job was within my budget, was professionally done, and my husband and I are so pleased with how our home looks. It’s like we moved into a new home! Also, Don was very easy to approach, if we had any questions or reservations about the project. He made us feel very comfortable and secure on any decisions that were made. I would highly recommend him."
