When You Dream

What a beautiful day today has been as we celebrate “Earth Day” we have had sunshine, rain, and snow; spring time in the Rockies is beautiful. We at Saddletree Homes want to help protect this beautiful country we live in, that is why we at Saddletree Homes are committed to building energy efficient homes. We were the first builder in Colorado Springs to be E-star and then the first builder to be one hundred percent Energy Star. We pay to have each of our homes third party tested, to make sure that we meet all the EPA criteria for Energy Star homes. This testing allows for tax rebates, mortgage incentives, and savings on energy bills. We are helping to reduce everyone’s carbon foot print by building energy efficient homes. We feel it is our responsibility to continue to take care of this planet, so we work as a team to continue to be at the forefront of energy efficient and green building. This is a task that we take seriously, especially in these tough economic times, when it would be easier to cut corners and use cheaper products. Saddletree Homes has been through many tough economic times in the past and has continued to succeed because of our commitment to excellence. We will continue to be on the cutting edge of energy efficiency and green technologies, as well as provide our homeowners with the best possible products. Here are a few things that we are proud to do that make us energy efficient.
