I try to patronize local Maryland businesses that value our environment, our health, and the responsible use of resources. Below are a few of the ones I can vouch for!
Home Building & Design
Sustainable Design Group
Based out of Gaithersburg, MD, the Sustainable Design Group specializes in the designing and building of custom homes throughout the DC-Metro region that prioritize indoor air quality and energy efficiency .
If you want a builder that cares about the health of you and your family, get in touch with them!
