Eco-Conscience / Green Remodeling

Creating a living space that promotes health and wellbeing for its inhabitants and the environment is a core principle of green design. The use of sustainable, renewable and recycled materials, energy efficiency, water conservation, and indoor air quality are all components of eco-friendly homes. The green design team at Harrell Design + Build can bring your home into the 21st century by integrating environmentally friendly materials and features.

The ‘Harrell Crew’ was the best contractor we’ve ever had in our home! In addition, everyone was careful and respectful of my allergies and asthma and did extra prep work & careful clean-up to minimize problems for me.

HomeownerPalo Alto, CA

I would like to thank you, Iris, and all the other people from your firm for an incredible job on my new home office. All of the folks I worked with were courteous, conscientious and kept their commitments.

We wanted to let you know that we had our first major entertaining event last weekend with a party for my library staff. Everyone was very impressed with the remodel and I spent a lot of time showing off various features to the guests.

HomeownerSunnyvale, CA

“On Thanksgiving Day we received many compliments on our new kitchen and the outdoor projects. We’re proud to entertain, and each time we do, I think about you, Kai, John, and the many others who pulled this off. Thanks to all!
