Exterior Building Materials

Hi all,

Now that you’ve recovered from the big news about HGTV Green Home’s Platinum LEED certification, take time to learn a bit more about the materials that contributed to this honor. HGTVPro’s super fan, Jeff Wilson, talks to Infinity Home Collection’s John Hovde about everything from shingles to siding. Watch the video, then pop back here to comment.

  7. Besides loving the house, my tween says now that we have to win because then my husband has to let her get a dog…after seeing all of the dog stuff in the garage.

  8. New blog? New blog? New blog? Anxiously awaiting because every time I put in all of my comments about the house and then the new blog comes up asking what everyone thinks of the house. I am being really good this time and waiting to comment…but it is getting really hard to hold back ALL of my thoughts.

  9. This home is beyond fantastic! It really is a perfect family home. The attention given to daily family living, and storage are outstanding. They have provided a space for everything that needs to disappear to please Mom, but all the bells and whistles for kids and Dad are there too. My only regret is that the yard is so small, but it also was beautifully done. The best so far in my opinion.
    Sold, wrap it up, I'll take it!

  11. I agree the yard is very small, but for those of us who have lived in the high desert yards are really difficult to maintain. Therefore, I believe this house is most practical in every way.

  12. Up early again voting my family says we better win this house it is so cool. I can just see my little 5 year old daughter there playing in the yard, ridng her bike, and sleeping in the pink bedroo she loves so much. I can see myself drinking coffee of a morning laying on the hammock waiting for the beautiful sunrise. I ove the sound of bbirds of a morning.

  13. Hi HGTV, 2011 Green House is beautiful both inside and out. The exterior appears to be low-maintenance which adds to the green-style upkeep. I was viewing the Colorado area on Frontdoor and it confirmed how appealing the area is.
