What makes Graystone "Green?"
Graystone Homes began building
long-lasting, environmentally sustainable homes long before “green
building” became popular. We have always cared about the land and the
environment where we build because this is not only our place of
business, it’s where we live. Our homes are proof that you don’t have
to sacrifice beauty, comfort or function to be green.
Green building uses environmentally friendly products to build with
(such as engineered floor joists, OSB sheathing) and energy efficient
building practices. The materials we use are of the highest quality
and not only meet the current energy rating requirements, but surpass
them.
We have partnered with the Energy Star
and
Earthcraft House programs to provide our homeowners with
certification documenting the energy efficiency of their homes.
