**★★★★★ — Elizabeth Henry, March 2017**

> Ryan and the Going Green Builders gang were absolutely fantastic!  After I bought my vacation home, they went to work - all new siding, windows, porches, decking and roof.  Ryan was proactive in contacting me with decisions I needed to make, timely in updates on progress, and  hugely reliable with recommendations and alternatives - all while I was living remotely.   If I need any additional remodeling, I will definitely use them again.  Thanks so much for making this a place I love!!

**★★★★★ — David Brown, March 2017**

> Having your home gutted and rebuilt is not a minor undertaking... its an expensive and 12 month undertaking you would want to employ someone you can trust. So selecting a builder that is right for you and with whom you can develop that trust is important. Very important!
>
> With Going Green Builders it was easy, they are transparent about the work they do and how they cost projects. They have a great team of people and those who worked on my house I would now consider friends. They also have a great attitude... they look after their people but also care about the environment, they reuse and their people reuse and recycle. They deplore waste and the result is a job that they and you can be proud of.

**★★★★★ — HU-986231, June 2016**

> Going Green Builders commenced construction on 2000 square foot rental cottage in Oct 2015 and completed project in May 2016. They constructed a high quality, rustic cottage with outstanding craftsmanship. Best I've seen with excellent attention detail. I only visited the project twice during the process as I live in another city most of year and he took strong ownership for project to meet my expectations and complete project on schedule and budget. He added several custom enhancements that enhanced the beauty of the home. I plan to use GOing Green Builders on next project given their high quality standards and craftsmanship.

**★★★★★ — MossCreek, June 2016**

> We have been very fortunate to have worked with Ryan and his team at Going Green Builders on a recent project in Western North Carolina. The best homes are a product of a great design and an excellent builder. Ryan was clear and concise in his goals for this home, and communicated to us perfectly his customization requests for the MossCreek design he chose.
>
> Keeping in mind the desires of his build client, Ryan followed through with us throughout the design process. We were also fortunate to receive numerous updates during the actual construction of the home. We definitely appreciate the level of professionalism with his work, and his execution of the design.
>
> We are always asked by our design clients for the name of qualified builders who understand the importance of good design, and we would not hesitate for one moment to recommend Ryan and Going Green Builders to any of our clients.
