| Top 3 Green Home Myths. |

Myth # 1: Green Building makes a house look funky!
Truth: Long gone are the days of green building being defined by homes with straw walls and recycled tires, glassed domed homes built in the desert or underground homes built into mountain sides. Today, green homes are just as likely to be the one across the street from your own-especially if Brothers Strong did the remodeling! Mainstream builders like Ryland, Habitat for Humanity, Trendmaker and Wilshire Homes all build 100's of green homes every year that look just like yours. So does GreenHaus Builders!

Myth # 2 Green Building is more expensive.
Truth: Green built homes have lower maintenance costs and they are less expensive to operate than traditional homes. And depending on the mix of products, materials, design considerations and construction techniques employed, they do not have to cost any more at all!
Myth # 3: Green Building means my home will be filled with lots of new, untested products and materials that will be expensive to maintain.
Truth: Green homes today are full of products you already know: Energy Star appliances, Kohler dual flush toilets, Sherwin William's paints that have no volatile organic compounds that cure out in your home, Trane air conditioning systems tied into duct work that does not leak and more and Rinnai tank-less water heaters to name just a few.
Today, green home builders utilize advanced framing techniques to reduce the amount of lumber unnecessary installed during the framing stage, they offer tank-less water heaters, higher amounts of insulation and they install windows that meet or exceed Energy Code requirements. These and many more options make your home quieter, clean, safer. Is there any reason you and your family don't deserve a green home? |
