Featured Reviews for Green Building Companies in Chester

Hellings Builders
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 11, 2013
“We purchased a new home from Hellings and have used Hellings to finish the lower level as well as other projects. Ross, Barry and his whole team are very focused on client satisfaction. There are always issues to deal with in large projects and our experience continues to be that Hellings is focused on getting things done the right way. Since buying our home and adding to the original house, we've used Hellings to put in a whole house generator, to install estate fencing and will certainly have them provide a bid on a pool and patio project that we also have on our list. Hellings is not trying to be the low cost option, but they take pride in doing each project the right way.”
DES Home Renovations
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 23, 2015
“I have known Stephen Samuels of DES Home Renovations for over a year now, and I can say he is one of the most detail-oriented people I've ever worked with. He truly cares that everything comes out perfect, and it shows in his work. From writing proposals to explaining things to homeowners to completing the project, Stephen and his team go through painstaking detail to make sure all of the details are exactly how he and the homeowner want them. If you're looking for a quality remodeling contractor who pays attention to detail (and doesn't just use that phrase as a selling point), I recommend DES.”

Wenger Contracting, Inc
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2017
“We used Wenger Contracting to finish our basement in 2016 and we are very happy with the quality of the work and the service provided by Wenger Contracting. The owner/general contractor Todd Wenger was meticulous in planning and executing the project. His core team of workers were very professional, courteous, respectful, and completely trustworthy. For the three-month period it took to finish our basement, we were at work and our kids were in school and our house was in the care of Todd and his team. Through the planning process and throughout the construction, Todd provided just the right amount of guidance and suggestions along the way as we made our selections and decisions on the details of the work to make sure that the final product and our expectations actually matched in the end. The basement project was quite large with many decisions to be made regarding various structural items, layout, as well as many aesthetic features but Todd made sure that every little details were executed exactly as we had discussed and no changes were made without us being aware of it so there were no surprises with anything including the financial aspect. All of changes that were made along the way were properly accounted for in terms of their impact on the final cost, i.e., reductions and additions were all appropriately accounted. We loved the way our basement turned out and our kids and we are enjoying our basement very much.”
Thunderchild Remodeling LLC.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 12, 2017
“Reese and his team recently completed our row home kitchen renovation in South Philadelphia. Their quality of work was excellent and their prices very reasonable. Reese was always professional- very prompt to answer our questions, return calls, etc. They kept their tools and building supplies very organized and respected our home- even left the outside light on for us every night when they left. I would highly recommend their services to others in the area and hope to be able to use them again in the future. Thanks Reese and team!”

Woodenbox LLC
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2018
“Kurt Schlenbaker and his team are the best in the business. We have worked with them on many projects, from deep energy retrofit of an old warehouse to a new-construction passive house, and Kurt never disappoints. His attention to detail and craftsmanship, along with his clear communication and easiness to work with make him a go to design-builder for the projects we design.”

Cody was a professional through and through. Came up w a design and went to work. It’s been over a year now and I hear the foxes every night and haven’t lost a hen yet. Plus it looks amazing!”
Spring Creek Design
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 22, 2013
“Pete and his team did a complete refinishing of our basement. It was done in two stages: the first included designing the empty space to make it most functional for us. We needed apartment type living as our daughter and two granddaughters are living with us. We wanted as much light as possible which he accomplished with the installation of extra windows and great lighting. In addition to a living area, we needed a desk area, a bedroom and bath and plenty of usable storage. He covered existing support posts and added closets. The second stage was begun after three years when we decided a kitchen was also needed so Pete again used his design expertise by converting the desk area into a wonderful kitchen which includes plenty of cabinet and counter top space, a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and stove along with the addition of a beautiful, functional breakfast bar. Pete and his carpenters, plumbers and others were always respectful, on time and kept us abreast of what was happening on a daily basis. There were no unexpected delays. We could not have asked for a better outcome.”
Hillcrest Construction
Green Building Companies in Chester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 5, 2019
“Our experience with Andy and his team at Hillcrest Construction was first rate from start to finish. Andy’s attention to detail and knowledge made our dream of a new deck and outdoor space a reality. Hillcrest Construction delivered a beautiful deck and home improvement project on time. Our family and friends are so impressed... even the County Inspector commented about the craftsmanship and design. It was a pleasure working with Hillcrest Construction and we look forward to bringing them on for future projects!”

Design-Build Contractor FAQs
The duration of a green building project can vary widely based on its complexity, size, and specific green technologies employed. On average, a green building project may take slightly longer than a conventional one due to the careful selection of materials and implementation of innovative practices. A small to medium residential project could range from 6 to 18 months, whereas larger or more complex projects might take longer. Clear communication with your chosen company will help set realistic timelines.
Green Building Companies prioritize materials that are sustainable, recycled, or recyclable, have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, and are sourced locally when possible. Design trends lean towards maximizing natural light, improving indoor air quality, and incorporating energy-efficient systems. The choice of materials and design elements is influenced by environmental performance criteria, client preferences, and architectural trends focused on sustainability and resilience.
Homeowners should start by defining their goals for sustainability, budget, and design. Researching green building principles and familiarizing oneself with key concepts such as passive solar design, energy efficiency measures, and water conservation can be very helpful. Gathering inspiration and creating a vision board can also aid in communicating your desires to the building company. Lastly, securing financing and understanding any eligible green building incentives or rebates is crucial.
Challenges such as sourcing specific sustainable materials, adhering to green certification requirements, and managing costs are addressed through experienced project management, innovative problem-solving, and robust supplier networks. Companies stay abreast of the latest green technologies and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring project goals are met without compromising on sustainability standards.
