House Huggers!

Keeping with my recent theme of built green I would like to show you how Campbell Homes has done their part in helping the environment by building Energy Star and Built Green Colorado Homes. Last year (2007) Campbell Homes built 53 homes all of which were certified by Energy Star! This is equivalent to:

· Eliminating the emissions from 37.10 vehicles
· Saving 20,352 lbs of coal
· Planting 5.30 acres of trees
· Saving homeowners $23,691 on their utility bills

Because of their contribution to helping build better energy efficient and environmentally friendly homes Campbell Homes was recently awarded the
ENERGY STAR for Homes Leadership in Housing Award!


Campbell Homes is proud to be a house hugger!

The Importance of Testimonials

Testimonials are an important part of any good business. When a company says they have a highly developed customer service program they will be able to prove it with a plethora of strong testimonials. A sales person can tell you all day long that their company is the best and offers the best product but unless they can back that up what’s the point in even listening? The best way to know if a company is going to take care of you is to see how they have treated their current and past customers.

Below are some of the testimonials Campbell Homes’ customers have been sending us over the years. We are proud to have the kind of reputation that can be backed by our homeowners and Realtor partners.

Testimonials:

As I write this note the October blizzard of 2006 is raging outside my home. Unlike most testimonies you receive my home was one of the very first you built in Briargate, back in 1982. I want you to know, after 24 years my home is as tight and strong as the day it was built. The wind outside is 50 mph but I can’t tell because the walls and windows of my home are so strong. I still have the original windows and they give me much lower power bills then most folks know. I live at the top of Briargate hill and have a two story home. I can’t hear the wind today. Thank you SO much for building a home so sound and secure.
-Pam S.

“When you grow up the son of contractor, like I did, you inherit an eye for craftsmanship. So when I saw the building materials that went into Campbell Homes, I knew this is where we wanted to be. Campbell Homes uses all the right name brands, and backs up their work with old fashioned attention to detail. What more could you ask for?”
–Scott Farrell

“Sometimes you have to brave the cold to find a home that warms your heart. I know. I spent weeks looking at houses this winter, but I didn’t fall in love until I found Campbell Homes. Campbell Homes did so many things right, I was ready to move in while my home was still under construction! That’s how comfortable they made me feel.”
–Cavalene Regan

“A while back, we downsized to a townhome. But when room started getting scarce, we thought, ‘Hey, time to look into something a little more livable.’ Campbell Homes impressed us not only with their floorplans and craftsmanship, but their ethics. They showed us the kind of commitment they’re known for in this community, and we appreciated it.”
–Scott Vaughn
Realtor and Entertainer with
The Colorado Wranglers

“This is the first home I ever bought. So it was scary, as well as exciting.
Looking back, all I can say is, I not only picked a dream home, but a dream builder. Campbell Homes treated me like royalty—answering my questions, and walking me through ever step of the process—from start to finish.”
–Amy Tran

It Is Easy Being Green with Campbell Homes


Built Green Colorado:
Built Green™ is an industry program that promotes an environmentally friendly approach to construction by setting standards for better energy efficiency, healthier indoor air quality and minimum use of resources to lower the overall environmental impact and increase the comfort within your home. Campbell Homes has set minimum construction specifications that actually exceed Built Green™ requirements. Here’s what you can expect in your new Campbell Home.

  • Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sensitivity
  • Moisture Control – Campbell’s exterior house wrap, 3/8” OSB sheathing, drainage plane and 5’ downspout extensions minimize the effects of moisture damage.
  • Air Infiltration – a foam sealant around windows, doors, top and bottom plates and all wall penetrations such as electrical outlets helps maintain the thermal insulation R-values and keeps pollutants out.
  • Low maintenance vinyl windows with Low-E glass not only save energy but protect the interior from UV damage.
  • External sealed combustion gas-log fireplaces prevent heat loss typically associated with flue and damper systems; and keeps contaminants from entering indoor living spaces.
  • Sealed combustion 92 percent efficient direct vent gas furnace uses 100 percent of outdoor air for combustion. This increases the life of the furnace, promotes cleaner air and minimizes heat loss associated by re-circulation.
  • Energy Star programmable thermostat with dual setback can be programmed to save 10 to 12 percent in energy usage and costs.
  • Low flush toilets and water saving faucets and showerheads
  • Because of the variety of soils conditions in the area, every Campbell Home foundation is engineered for specific site conditions.
  • Low VOC content (Volatile Organic Compound) in interior paint results in better indoor air quality and an easy-to-clean surface.
