Welcome to Santa Cruz Green Builders

Why Choose Us

We do a wide variety of projects, from new homes, to commercial buildings, restaurants, ADUs, whole house remodels, kitchen remodels, and solar. Look at our Projects page to see some of our past projects!We are a design/build company that is firmly committed to building green. We believe it is the right way to build, and it also pays off financially. This doesn’t mean building an expensive and funny looking house. Building green today means: starting with a smart design, using sustainable and non toxic materials, maximizing energy and water efficiency, and building to last for generations.We have a talented crew that does many of the trades in-house, and a solid team of subcontractors that we work with on every job. This allows us to maintain a high quality product, control our schedule, and keep prices lower.We work extremely hard to make the whole building process as easy as possible for clients. Building projects are complex and there are many decisions to be made, which can often be stressful. We use a process that helps to make the whole building experience less stressful and makes it much more likely that the project will turn out exactly as you would like! Because of this dedication, our past clients have all turned into good friends.
