“Carl’s house avoids 19 tons of CO2 every year compared to a code house. If all houses throughout the entire United States did that, it is possible to slow down carbon emissions to the point that we can slow down global warming and eventually, hopefully, reverse it.”

“We live in an historic district and Elizabeth did a great job preparing a design which complements our house. She facilitated a smooth historic preservation permit approval. Building a carpentry shop raises a number of non-standard construction issues. Carl patiently answered our many questions. His knowledge of energy efficiency practices was very helpful. Ron, who runs the cabinet shop, provided invaluable insights regarding layout, power needs, etc. Ben and the entire G. Christianson Construction crew were reliable, on time, and hardworking. It was a pleasure to work with Carl, Elizabeth, Ben and the rest of the team. The end result is a beautiful and functional shop – a dream come true. ”

“I had always heard how difficult remodels are on relationships & families, GCC listened to my every request and made me feel that my concerns and requests would be addressed to my satisfaction. While it was for me a big project, it was abundantly clear my satisfaction was GCC's goal. GCC strives for high quality if not perfection and expects the highest standards to be met. Everyone who comes to my home marvels at the design & craftsmanship. What more could a customer ask for?”
