I am a roofing contractor with more than 20 years experience, and I recommend for this house the green tile selection from Santafe clay roof tiles. They have high solar reflectance and the glazed tiles in particular have zero water absorption. Green roof tiles keep roofs cooler and help save on electricity bills.
Also, clay roof tiles have a great duration (centruties!) and that’s why I believe they are an excellent option when we think about quality roofs and green alternatives…

Great Looking project. I bought a mixed hardwoods reclaimed wood floor on sale from Old Barn Reclaimed Wood and I am extremely happy with it as well. http://www.reclaimedwoodco.com

Best wishes on the rest of your project.

Jeff and Suzy,

I have been privileged to be involved in your new home construction. I was at your construction site today and saw the framers getting ready for the “sticks” of your construction. I appreciate your involvement in the construction process and would love to utilize your knowledge and research to help Mike Gilles and Savannah Builders become more “cutting edge” in the “Green Building” movement. Savannah Builders is already the leader in homebuilding in Oklahoma, but we are always looking for more energy efficient and new techniques to make our construction unique! Thank you for all you do and for choosing Mike Gilles as your builder. I look forward to working with you!

Also, anyone that is looking to build with the EPA guidelines or geothermal and energy efficient construction science techniques should contact me about their project.

We really enjoy working with Mike. If you look closely at the ground breaking pictures, you can see Mike with our daughters in the cab of the big backhoe. He takes great pride in his work and his crew is very knowledgable. They’ve answered all my questions. They may be a little overscheduled and you need to be patient with your schedule but their overscheduled because they produce a quality product. Next week they will start setting the forms for the main level of the home. Feel free to stop by the project.
