Self-Help is now part of the Healthy Built Homes Program

We've been building safe, comfortable, energy efficient homes for years. Our participation in the Healthy Built Homes Program is another way to show our commitment to our homeowners and the environment. Look for the Healthy Built Homes logo next to our new construction homes that are part of the program.
From the Healthy Built Homes website:
"The NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program provides a certificate for homes meeting "green home guidelines" built by residential builders who practice sustainable, high performance building strategies making the home a comfortable, healthy and affordable place that reduces energy and water usage, promotes renewable energy use and helps protect the land where the home is built.

In a HealthyBuilt Home, building materials and processes are selected to reduce pollution and the waste of natural resources during the manufacturing and construction phases and throughout the life of the home. The builder is encouraged to provide homeowner education about the high performance features of the home and provide local resources for "green" living."
