In 1995, Jim Fincher founded Casterock Homes and built under that name for many years until gaining a partner and forming Manchester Homes. In 2008, Jim saw the need for a better-built, energy-efficient home and founded Manchester Green Homes. Since then, every one of their homes has been built to be Green following many of the practices outlined in the National Green Building Standard relating to energy efficiency, water efficiency, durability and indoor air quality. Manchester Green Homes follows a rigorous set of requirements specified in the NGBS to build our homes very different than a standard code-built home. The main things they focus on are durability, energy efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality and homeowner education. The bottom line is their homes are designed to last longer, cost less to operate, be more comfortable and have less impact on our planet. This process takes a bit longer and costs a little more but the return on energy savings alone far outweighs the extra cost of construction.
