WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.
WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R
We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra�smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula�on than in a conven�onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ �mes MORE insula�on in the a�c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.
