Our education and experience allows us to certify your home
under the LEED, EarthCraft House, or NAHB Green Building
Guidelines. Our ability to do a major portion of the work in-house
as well as having educated our close family of sub-contractors
insures the highest quality work while controlling costs.

Having achieved certification as a HERS Rater, we now com-
bine computer modeling and in-field air leak testing of HVAC
systems and the building envelope to maximize energy ef-
ficiency and indoor air quality. Everyone deserves a healthy
home.

We welcome the opportunity to work with clients who desire
Near-Zero and Zero Energy homes.

Founded in 2006 by Mike Thorpe and Howard Feldman, Coastal Green Building Solutions has quickly become recognized as the local leader in Green Building and Green Remodeling. We are a fully licensed and insured Limited Liability Corporation and our project capabilities range from residentail to light commercial.

  Our focus is on Green Building and Green Remodeling and we only accept commisions for projects in which the clients share our enthusiasm and drive for environmental stewardship. Our association with Southface and Building America brings Building Science and Green Certification to every project. Our homes operate at efficiency levels over 40% higher than homes built just to the standard building code.

  we focus on the details and our whole house systems approach to building allows us to achieve such high standards with marginal cost increases. Investment in high performance improvements is often overshadowed by large monthly savings in energy costs, reduced maintenance, and a healthier indoor environment.
