Why Build Green

Increase Value
 
Green homes are worth more. Energy efficient properties are valued more per square foot than conventional ones! Building a home is an investment. Make it a smart one.
Lower Bills
 
Zimmermann Homes uses quality materials that are on the cutting edge of energy efficient technology. By choosing to build green, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) estimates that you lower overall maintenance costs by a staggering 8-13% per square foot per year. With us, these features come standard.
Help the Environment
 
Green homes maximize the use of sustainable resources and minimize the impact homes can have on the planet. We strive to use the best products, subcontractors, and suppliers that are as community-conscious as we are.
