A Few Words From Our Clients

  • Working with Justin and Paltrin helped us realize our dreams of building a beautiful, functional, energy efficient custom home. They have the passion and expertise to take energy efficient building to the next level, which helped us meet our goals of achieving a Net-Zero Home. As their client, we had unparalleled access to the build site and complete control over our design selections. When issues arose during the build process, as they always do in construction, Justin was eager to problem solve and find a quick and efficient solution. If energy efficiency, flexibility, and a high-quality end product are some of your main goals in building a new home, Paltrin could be a great fit for you!

  • You have gone way beyond what either of us expected. We admire your enthusiasm for this type of work and hope that you are successful with it. Environmental degradation must be addressed, and passive homes and buildings should be part of the solution.

    Thank you so much for all the time that you spent on this work. We deeply appreciate it.
