Thinking about remodeling your kitchen or bathroom and want to make sure it’s friendly to the environment and your wallet? Join GreenPoint Rated for a one-hour free workshop and learn how to achieve a beautiful, healthy home while reducing your family’s carbon footprint! 

GreenPoint Rated, the gold standard in green home certification, helps homeowners ensure their home meets high environmental standards. California already has over 10,000 GreenPoint Rated homes; together, they have saved more than 9,000 tons of greenhouse gases, the equivalent of taking over 1,500 cars off the road.
