Building Better Building Green
At Jeff King & Company we’re passionate about the quality of our work. We want to produce the best building possible for you and we firmly believe that building better means building green.
That’s why Jeff himself was one of the first building contractors in San Francisco to become a Certified Green Building Professional (CGBP). And it’s why today every one of our management level production staff is also a CGBP and our Production Manager is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Accredited Professional.
Our whole company is committed to continued improvement and education, and to that end we are proud and involved members of Build It Green and the United States Green Building Council.
Our approach to remodeling emphasizes quality construction and the use of the latest environmentally sound materials and techniques. This results in longer lasting, more energy efficient and healthier homes.
As a company we have established standard green building practices that are applied to all our projects at no additional cost. The following are just a few of the ways we can build better for you:
