Energy efficient construction begins with the builder and trade contractors' attention to detail, not just your appliances and extra insulation. We believe communication is vital in having a workable lasting relationship with our customer. We are always available for you via email, our office building open Mon-Fri, thorough information on our award winning website, and even our cell phones. Yes, our homes are tightly sealed and insulated. Yes, we use high quality "Energy Star" certified windows. Yes, we even encourage renewable energy systems in our new homes including Geothermal HVAC and/or Solar (PV). However, we offer much more than just building a new custom home. We offer an enjoyable experience, a partnership, a dream that becomes a reality.
All of our homes are independently inspected and certified to not only meet, but exceed Energy Star standards. Building a new home by our standards also qualifies for the Department of Energy's Builders Challenge Program taking the Energy Star label one step further. We offer a home that provides low operating and maintenance costs, a home that will work for you and your family. Stop in or call to see for yourself why our homes are exceeding homeowner expectations and setting the benchmark for high quality, energy efficient construction and customer satisfaction.
Every Decker home buyer receives an EnergySmart Home Scale (HERS Index Rating) certificate upon completion of the home. (shown left) This provides documentation showing the results of our Decker energy efficient construction.

Building Consistency into the Home Building Process
TAKE AN OBJECTIVE VIEW of custom home building and compare it to other industries and you will find remarkable differences. Home building has inherent inconsistency built into the process. Different home buyer's for every new home, different building sites with varying soils (no one building site is the same), and a different set of building plans with each custom home. During construction, much of the work is done outside subject to weather and other variable working conditions with virtually none of the common comforts found in a traditional manufacturing environment. Add a variety of codes and often inconsistent interpretation by inspectors. Finally, in no other business do you find customers so directly connected to the product during the production process. Can you imagine walking down the line of a vehicle manufacturing plant for example, and keeping a close watch over each part and quality craftsmanship that goes in to producing the finished product...the car you drive home?!
"Insulation is a multi-solution approach, and it's critical to quality construction."
IMAGINE THE ADDITIONAL INCONSISTENCY?
Consider the integrity of the finished product IF a builder went and asked a number of different trade contractors for job phases bids on your new home under construction? How would you feel if you were "WOW'd" by a home you walked through and expected that type of quality in yours...only to find out after the fact that the trade professionals who worked on your home were not the same that worked on the home you fell in love with?
At Decker Homes, you can rest easy while your home is being built, knowing that the same subcontractors that worked on the home(s) we toured you through ARE, AND WILL BE the same who work on yours! How can we promise you something, and deliver on that promise any other way? We have built consistency in to our business for over 34 years now, by finding the BEST SKILLED tradesmen and building suppliers to PARTNER WITH for every home we build. The results are quality homes with less call backs, more referrals, lower marketing costs, and a host of skilled trades people knowing they will receive our loyalty and respect for assisting us in building homes with high quality and energy efficient standards we hold ourselves responsible for!
