The Best Construction
Our superior construction methods create a tight building envelope by keeping indoor air in and outdoor air out. Third party inspectors test every home we build to make sure each is within the strict air leakage guidelines. We've been known to impress inspectors with ratings well below the required levels. By controlling the air that comes in and goes out, we're preserving air quality, saving energy and in the long run, saving you money.

The Best Results
The construction methods we use and materials we select create better places to live. Our insulation creates a quieter home. Our tight construction creates a healthier home. And all of it put together saves energy and saves you money on utility bills. It's not just the EarthCraft way. It's the Monte Hewett Homes way of Building Homes for Life.
