Sustainable Home Solutions creates change. Changes we can achieve together: as individuals, institutions, and communities, to create a saner, safer, more sustainable world.
Change doesn't?t come easy. After 25 years of experience in residential construction, Ron Jones, the owner of Sustainable Home Solutions, began to feel a need for change in his own perspective on building. The term ?Green Building? had been floating around, so he explored the new fad. A book here, a class there, a casual conversation with a colleague, and the possibilities began to pile up.
?The whole thing kind of snowballed on me. One step led to another pretty quickly. What I first thought would be something I could add to my list of services, like decks and windows, became an entire new business model.?
Over the last few years Ron has gone through extensive retraining to understand how buildings really work. The ultimate goal is to create homes that are safer, healthier, more comfortable, and more durable. Homes that achieve those goals use fewer resources, and are less costly to operate and maintain. Those goals can only be achieved by using a whole-house systems approach.
To fully serve our environmentally conscious clients we offer the following:
