Beautifully Crafted Zero Energy Ready Custom Homes

Sustainable homes at a standard built home price

We believe most people want to do their part to be eco-conscious, but may think that a sustainable home will cost a lot more than a typical code built home, and therefore out of reach. We are thrilled to share that is simply no longer the case! Our value driven homes give you reduced construction waste, shorter construction timelines, ultra energy efficiency, healthy indoor air quality, and diverse style options.

Alter Eco has a cost-engineered, design and building process without sacrificing quality, that results in sustainable home at a price comparable to a standard custom-built home. We have been able to deliver our customers the nation’s best high performance homes built to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home Program standards, for which we have won a national Housing Innovation Award. Zero Energy Ready homes represent the top 1% of housing in the United States for quality and energy efficiency performance. This is not the home of the future, it’s here and now, right now, today.

This level of performance improves the way Americans live…

“Housing Innovation Award winners such as Alter Eco are leading a major housing industry transformation to zero energy ready homes. This level of performance improves the way Americans live by substantially reducing or eliminating utility bills, ensuring engineered comfort way beyond traditional homes, protecting health with a comprehensive package of indoor air quality measures, and helping maximize the largest investment of a lifetime.”

– Sam Rashkin, Chief Architect at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office.

The second concern to building sustainably after cost is typically style driven. We are so happy to relieve your worries, as we are nimble, creative, and ready to design and build your home in virtually any style you desire. Whether you prefer a sleek modern home, or a modern farmhouse, craftsman, or ranch, or dream of a beach home with a coastal style vibe, we can built it as a high performance dwelling.

No-Brainer Benefits: The benefits to high performance homes compared to standard built homes make the choice a “no-brainer” decision. Why would you build anything else when you deserve and can have so much more at a relative cost? If you think so too, we can’t wait to hear from you for a no obligation discussion about your dream home.

Our collective passion for environmental stewardship and decades-long focus on sustainability of the built environment provide us a unique project approach which carefully balances environmental impacts, performance, cost, indoor air quality and long-term resiliency of our homes. This results in comfortable, durable houses that consume less than half the energy of code compliant homes.

“My bill is lower than it was when I was living in a small apartment! … I love the house. I rave about it to everyone I come in contact with.”

“I can’t even really describe it. It’s like you know that something is very different and that there’s something comfortable about it. It’s just open and clean and fresh, and it flows nicely, the layout is great and the consistency is the same on each floor.”

“The energy saving features that the home has, the open floor plan, every detail they put into the home is high quality and I think for these reasons they are very superior to any other builder.”

“I happen to stumble on this home and didn’t really know what I was looking at, but the more I began to research I began to understand all the features it has in terms of the air quality, the low energy bills, the overall feel of the home and the comfort level, it was vitally important to me. It definitely paid off”
