About Us
Santa Cruz Green Builders is a custom home builder and remodeling company dedicated to building high quality and long-lasting homes. Our team is made up of architects, designers, project managers, and skilled tradesmen who work with homeowners from initial concept to final move in. That means your perfect home, kitchen, bathroom, or ADU gets done faster, on budget, and has a dedicated team focused on delivering quality and getting every detail right.
Who we are
We do a wide variety of projects, from new homes to commercial buildings, restaurants, ADUs, whole house remodels, kitchen remodels, and solar. In addition to our in-house experience with concrete, framing, plumbing, electrical, windows and doors, siding, tile, masonry, HVAC, and finish carpentry, we also have experience with straw bale, earth plaster, living roofs, SIP’s (structurally insulated panels) and rainwater catchment systems. Look at our Projects page to see some of our past projects!
We are a design/build company that is firmly committed to building green. We believe it is the right way to build, and it also pays off financially. This doesn’t mean building an expensive and funny looking house. Building green today means: starting with a smart design, using sustainable and non-toxic materials, maximizing energy and water efficiency, and building to last for generations. See our Green Building page to learn more.
We have a talented crew that does many of the trades in-house, and a solid team of subcontractors that we work with on every job. This allows us to maintain a high-quality product, control our schedule, and keep prices lower. Meet our Team!
We work extremely hard to make the whole building process as easy as possible for clients. Building projects are complex and there are many decisions to be made, which can often be stressful. We use a process that helps to make the whole building experience less stressful and makes it much more likely that the project will turn out exactly as you would like! Because of this dedication, our past clients have all turned into good friends. See more in Process and Testimonials.
