Meadowlark's Green Building Services

A Meadowlark home is more than beautiful; it’s built to support the environment and maintain integrity. As a sustainable, green builder, we believe in better building practices for better futures. 

Green building prioritizes sustainability and efficiency. We use energy-efficient insulation, renewable energy, water-saving fixtures, and eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood and low-VOC paints. Our designs incorporate natural light and ventilation, reducing carbon footprints and costs and enhancing living spaces.



What Makes a Design+Build Remodel Different?

At Meadowlark, we guide you through all green options, materials, and technologies, making your vision a reality, creating a home that reflects your commitment to sustainability, and supporting a better future for all.

 

We help homeowners craft beautiful, sustainable homes they love.


LEED-Certified Homes

LEED for Homes, by the U.S. Green Building Council, certifies that homes are built or remodeled using best practices to improve energy and water efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, enhance air quality, protect resources, minimize environmental impacts, reuse materials, and promote local sustainable products. At Meadowlark Design+Build, we take great pride in our projects that have achieved LEED certification and showcase our dedication to sustainable building practices for a brighter future.
