Featured Reviews for Green Building Companies in Downey

Harding Design & Construction
Green Building Companies in Downey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 1, 2013
“We hired Harding Construction & Sustainable Solutions to do an energy audit and upgrade our 100- year old historic, but non-insulated home. Although we love our home, it was too cold in the winter and too warm in the summer, and our utility bills were high. They upgraded our attic insulation, air sealed our attic, installed wall insulation, sealed our existing duct work, installed LowE insulation in our crawlspace, air sealed the old craftsman wood windows, and installed a high efficiency tankless water heater. They did a highly professional job. All the Harding Construction workers were very knowledgeable about everything related to energy efficiency and always courteous, prompt, and hardworking. Their work resulted in a much more comfortable home, with lower energy bills. Wes worked very hard to ensure that we met all the city historical requirements and were eligible for all of available rebates. Because of their thoroughness, our home was more energy efficient and we received the maximum rebates from all participating agencies. We even were able to obtain a Green Point certificate from Build It Green for our newly renovated green home. We highly recommend Harding Construction & Sustainable Solutions for your remodeling and energy upgrade needs. Myrna and Tommy Donahoe Carroll Park Historic District, Long Beach, CA”
OC Builders Group
Green Building Companies in Downey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 5, 2019
“We hired OC Builders for a full Kitchen remodel and an installation of a 20’ sliding door. When we met our contractor, Moe, he went over everything in detail and answered all of our questions. Moe was happy to give advice on materials and design but was also fine working with our design. It was a nice balance. We’ve had mixed experiences with contractors on smaller projects in the past but we’re so glad we hired OC for this project. Everything went as expected and there were no surprises. The original quote was pretty close to what the final charges were and the timeline went very smoothly. Moe was extremely communicative and addressed any issue we had in a timely manner. The site was always left very clean every day and the workmen were very professional. We are finished now and loving everything about our beautiful open kitchen and large new doors that open to our back yard. We will not hesitate to hire OC Builders again for future projects.”

“Tom and his team at Stout Design-Build are experts in creating classic and functional home designs. We are always impressed by the finished job of their outdoor rooms and patio projects. Stout seamlessly incorporates comfort features - like our ceiling mounted heaters - that are styled to fit their clients needs. We look forward to seeing what new spaces they create!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 14, 2015
“I like this group. Quality work. Fair pricing. They kept their word. This was a very old building and they had a firm understanding about what it takes to get things done according to the codes and laws. This was very important to us. We're very happy and will gladly recommend them.”
Eileen Gould Design and Construction, Inc.
Green Building Companies in Downey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 28, 2014
“We interviewed 13 different contractors before hiring Eileen to remodel our house. She was initially working with an "interior designer" that we had previously retained, but it turned out that at best, she was an interior decorator. We were really trying to give the "designer" the benefit of the doubt because I had a prior relationship with her through my alumni association and we had become friends, but Eileen became concerned because her "design" ideas weren't going to work well for functional and aesthetic reasons. Eileen finally scheduled a meeting for all of us to attend, but the "designer" failed to show up. In any event, when we learned about the extent of the problems, we immediately terminated the "designer." It later came to light that the "designer" had also charged us inappropriately and had us purchase materials at the highest priced stores in order to increase the size of her fees. In any event, Eileen felt so sorry for us and she had been an interior designer before she became a licensed contractor. Eileen took over the role of designer and did not charge us for that additional role because she couldn't believe what we had paid already in that regard. In any event, Eileen and her crew were very diligent and met their time deadlines. With such a large job, it is not unusual for some problems to arise. To her credit, Eileen always took responsibility for any such issues. In fact, the roof leaked over a year after her roofer had done repairs in that area and Eileen made sure that the roof was fixed properly and that the damage caused by the leak was corrected to our satisfaction. We were so impressed with Eileen and liked working with her so much, that she became a close personal friend. We most recently saw her at our wedding on May 3rd, over three years after she remodeled our house.”
Pure Builders Inc.
Green Building Companies in Downey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 2, 2017
“We wanted to remodel the kitchen and my brother recommended calling Pure Builders. He said Pure Builders were real professionals. Their designers were really knowledgeable. They were very careful with the flow of the design. Eli from Pure Builders really listened to what we wanted. We saw the 3D design plan he came up with and we hired them. The design blended with the existing decor of our house. Eli really puts in a lot of effort with the design. When they started their crews were really good. They checked in with us and answered all our questions as the kitchen remodeling progressed. Good company for your remodeling projects! Thanks, Eli!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 18, 2022
“I am currently working with Stephen Gabor and The Gabor Design Group on a backyard landscape and home add on project. Stephen and his team are extremely professional, organized and responsive. I am in love with the work they have done at my home so far and cannot wait for the finished product. As a homeowner since 1999, I have been through multiple renovations and worked with several contractors and have never had a good experience until the Gabor Design Group. Exceeded all of my expectations!!”

Amorphous Studio
Green Building Companies in Downey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2022
“Ronnie Gor was the designer for our major remodel project in Tarzana, CA. The work covered a complete remodel of a 70 year-old, ranch-style home and construction of an attached ADU. There are inherent challenges in adding to an older home and creating a seamless whole. Ronnie was up to the task. and willingly worked with our own (me and husband) creative vision through the process. Aside from an overall look and flow, the house could have no unnecessary elevation changes, and no obvious distinction between the old and the new. The design must consider the lot the house is on and address our needs, tastes and budget. Ronnie shone in all areas. The result is a modern home with unique characteristics in both design and function. It is a single structure which, by the closing of a single door, creates two separate and entirely independent homes. Neither infringing on the other. Both are spacious, receive endless natural light, have all the amenities, and each boasting its own two-car garage. Ronnie Gor can fairly be credited with an outstanding job.”

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.
