Alward Construction is a nationally recognized builder, winning over twelve awards since 1995. We have added green building as a specialty, and have a NARI Certified Green Builder on staff.

Specializing in eco-interiors for nearly ten years, at least one green aspect has been integrated into every residential remodel. More recently, exclusively green projects, such as the kitchen remodel shown in the case studies tab, have been completed. Corser Design has been involved in five green residential remodeling projects in the past year.

We have been doing green building projects since 1998. Carpistry’s existence evolved as we sought solutions to health issues in Tom’s family.

Tom’s own family home was Carpistry’s first green project in 2000, designed to alleviate his wife’s mold allergies. This is a 2,000 sq ft engineered log chalet on a mountain top in North Carolina, utilizing unused skyscraper parts collected in NYC (such as oversized windows, 8’ doors, slabs of granite, marble flooring, cherry flooring). The house was built as an exercise in mold-free living for $160/sq ft.  A whole house fan on a timer replaced AC by exaggerating mountain breezes and being 6’ in the air on sonotubes insured no basement mold.

Green Fusion Design Center’s products possess, at a minimum, at least one of the following attributes: recycled, biodegradable, organic, natural, energy efficient, water efficient, exceptionally durable, non-toxic, locally produced, sustainably harvested, and supportive of the global community’s health and well being.

Since 1996, our principal, Mari Strain, has assisted homeowners and architects alike to satisfy their desires for high-quality, environmentally-friendly, easy-maintenance wood floors. Those searching for green flooring can be assured that the products available from Flooring Alternatives are sustainable, recycled/reclaimed, salvage, or FSC-Certified (SW-COC-1264).

Our environmental building supplies include non-toxic paint, natural carpets, sustainable wood products, energy-efficient insulation and people-friendly cleaning supplies. Few people knew about products like these when we opened our first store near Seattle in 1992. Now more and more people are demanding the extra value they provide. We’re thrilled-and here to help.

In addition to competing on the basis of price, performance and aesthetics, our products must offer additional tangible benefits: They protect health, use energy and other resources sparingly, and are extraordinarily well made.
