Anne's Advice

Q: Anne,
All over the media and press all I see is "Green this and Green that..." Can you help me out and give me a few pointers on what Green means to
you as a builder?
-Green Girl in Gaithersburg A: Dear Green Girl,
I certainly can. As a builder, Green is much more than a custom home
design, upgrade or custom option, it is a standard. As a standard all
of our homes are constructed with lumber, windows, shingles, finishes,
cabinetry and paint that are Green rated and certified products, even
the process in which we construct our homes is Green. I could go on
and on with facts and details about building Green and Classic, and
gladly will over a cup of coffee, however for the sake of the reader I
will tell you this; Green is not a "label" it is a commitment and for
us as a builder it is a standard for our homes and operations.
