Improving comfort and efficiency while preserving the character and durability of clients’ homes, we find opportunities for performance improvements wherever possible.

Our team’s decades in home construction and renovation include a strong focus on energy efficiency and sustainable design. We have significant experience with LEED for Homes, a rigorous set of sustainable building standards.We have also fashioned renovations and additions that responded to a wide variety of needs, from work on many of greater Portland’s historic homes to beautiful, functional kitchens to warm, bright additions.Our long-standing team insures our clients’ lasting enjoyment, pursues continuing education, and sustains partnerships with leading architects, trade contractors and suppliers.

Sustainability

Kolbert Building has long been building with energy efficiency and other environmental factors in mind.  We continually refine our approach to new and existing homes, both by education and research and by long-term monitoring of our own projects. We’re proud to have built three homes that meet the highest levels of the US Green Building Council’s LEED for  Homes program.  LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) looks at a building’s energy and resource consumption, the long-term health of the occupants, impact on the community, and other issues; it requires third-party verification of multiple factors.

We look forward to working with you!
