At Colorado Dream Homes, we believe that the natural beauty of Pagosa Springs should by lived with, not just built on top of. That is why we believe in green building.

As a green builder in Pagosa Springs, we take numerous steps to build your home so that it meets every requirement of your personal preferences, while still coexisting with the surrounding area and providing a healthier environment for you. Green building refers to environmentally friendly building with an emphasis on the use of natural and non-toxic building materials. Green building saves energy while minimizing negative impacts on your health that can occur with non-green building practices.

• We use high efficiency furnaces, water-heaters, and ceiling fans to cut down on the amount of natural resources used. Our energy efficient homes rarely require air conditioning. All these features save you money and helping to curb the waste in the supply of resources available to us.
  
• Our 12" Thick R-38 Super Insulated Energy Building System, double-paned windows and insulated doors also contribute to our green building! By keeping the heat or air conditioning inside of your home, you will reduce ozone depleting CO2 emissions by half.
  
• All of our standard outdoor decking and landscaping products are made from low impact polymers and composite recycled products. Increasing the lifespan of your decking and reducing the amount of chemicals that are associated with using treated products.
  
• We use engineered lumber, which provides a straighter, sturdier frame for your house. Engineered lumber is also made using only fast-growing and rapidly renewable tree species.
  
• We make sure all ductwork is tight and only install sealed-combustion furnaces and power vented water heaters. This ensures that leaky ducts will not draw combustion gasses from the furnace or water heater into your living area, which could create a possibly dangerous situation.
  
• Our optional central vacuum systems are incredibly convenient and effective. They also draw pollutants away from your home and into a safe area away from your living space.
