Most of the building materials for our home were supplied by the modular manufacturer (Penn Lyon) including the SIPs. We sub-contracted much of the finish work in order to build this house within our budget. Here are the folks we used from start to finish. I will be providing a personal review of each company's work when the project is complete.

JEP Contracting - Patrick Perkins - http://www.jepcontracting.com/
Patrick built my in-law's house less than 300 feet from ours. Patrick took the time to understand what my in-laws wanted, and built their house exactly as they envisioned it. While Patrick didn't receive a penny from us, he was always generous with his time by allowing Melissa and I to bounce ideas off of him. While I can't vouch for his "green" building, I can vouch for his skill as a custom builder who knows how to make customer's very happy. Perhaps I can win him over on green building when my low energy bills start arriving.
