Green Building

  • Savings in energy costs in your new home = reduced monthly bills

  • Increased desirability for re-sale potential

This was our first time building a home and Walter Woods and his team at Graystone Builers made it a wonderful experience. Graystone gave us the flexibility on the design of the interior of our home, they were reponsive to our needs and on target with meeting the completion date. One of the best features of our home is that it is built with the LEED Certification Standards to give us the optimum in energy efficiency. Thank you Walter for the advice, we definitely have realized the benefits. We are very happy with the work of Graystone Builders and would recommend them for any building or remodeling projects.
