Featured Reviews for Green Building Companies in Portland

Janet Greenblatt Interiors ASID
Green Building Companies in Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 1, 2020
“hired Janet for approximately one year after she was referred to me by my realtor when I purchased a new residence in Santa Monica . I retained Janet as a designer and project manager for a complete remodel of a 2-bedroom condominium. The first thing that impressed me about Janet was her professionalism. She was always prepared, organized and presented several options when discussing a key decision point or project management issue. Her experience and business maturity helped to navigate through an arduous permitting process with the City of Santa Monica . Further, she anticipated questions and/or obstacles and presented recommendations to best deal with a given situation. In nearly every case, I simply followed her recommendation as it had clearly been carefully considered; I grew to trust her judgment completely. In addition to her professional demeanor, Janet possesses a creative eye that she effortlessly matches with the tastes and preferences of her client. Design decisions quickly became “rubber stamp” processes for me as her client – her selections were almost always synchronized with my own style. When our opinions differed, Janet was always the consummate professional and offered pros, cons or demurred as appropriate. As I mentioned earlier, I grew to trust Janet – not only as a design consultant, but also as a business professional and human being. As an example, in an instance where a contractor legitimately misinterpreted the intent of some instructions, Janet stepped in and personally covered the extra expense. She holds a high standard of integrity, and can always be trusted to do the right thing.”

“Shailu provided a full house update of Interior blinds (Hunter Douglas) that exceeded $12K. This included fabric choice and blind style to accommodate not only the rooms but the window framing. The job proved fairly complicated given the interior placement of the windows. We were very satisfied with the service and results. we would highly recommend her to others.”

This was a short notice job and she was able to find the contractor and get everything together. The colors we chose are perfect and the design of the bathroom and Kitchen/dining/living room turned out perfect as well. She helped create a home that is comfy and a joy to come home to.”

Carry On & Co.
Green Building Companies in Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 9, 2021
“We are absolutely delighted with the results of our guestroom refresh that Jamie Foehr Design created for us! Our goal was to create a calm, soothing environment for our guests to enjoy when the visit us from near and far. We wanted beautiful artwork with modern furniture and Jamie really pulled that together for us. I greatly appreciate her kind way of helping me determine which items that we already had would work and what needed to be replaced. She was also wonderful at incorporating the the things that had special sentimental value for us. This was our second project with Jamie who helped us previously with our project of reviewing and hanging up our artwork. I was overwhelmed with way too many pieces and she helped us pull out the very best and place them in groupings that made sense and look elevated. I was hoping to get a gallery wall and Jamie made this wish come true in my home office where I get to see it every day! Thank you, Jamie! I will certainly tell all of my friends about your wonderful work.”

Anne Holbrook Interior Design
Green Building Companies in Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 24, 2023
“I can't begin to express all the ways in which Holbrook Interior Design has supported me, my business, and my home interiors. Design setup for my homes (3) and business, branding for business, rebranding fir business years later, and a location move for my business, are all examples of times I have called on Holbrook for support with everything from color, brand, remodel design, furniture layout, plant display, walls (murals, decals, wall hangings), website, patient forms, mood boards, logos, and so much more! There just seems to be no limit to what this team can achieve. Additionally, the feedback I received from friends, family and patients was constant and glowing. We were always ahead of the trends and right on for the spaces. I literally felt like it was the best business decision I could have made, calling on support to make my space and all the other elements of my business and home consistent throughout the experiences. The team is very professional and supportive, not only with your timely design needs but they also experts at supporting your vision, invoking a feeling, and telling a story through design. I felt supported as a leader and could call on Holbrook for support with personnel, training, and general problem solving as things came up. Thank you Holbrook and good luck to others out there as you launch your dream, Holbrook is the partner you want!”

Interior Designer or Decorator 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.
