BUILD WITH PEACE OF MIND:

YOU DREAM... WE BUILD... and TOGETHER WE PROTECT OUR FUTURE.

At Sierra Classic, we not only focus on the lifestyles of right now...but, also on the lifestyles of the future. Based on recent surveys conducted by the experts, there is a lot of confusion on what "Building Green" means.  As it turns out, they have come to the conclusion that there are two types of "green" customers. They have divided those two groups into "Dark Green" and "Light Green" consumers. According to "Professional Builder" magazine:

"Light Green" consumers have entered the market for energy-efficient products, and their motivation has more to do with saving money through reduced energy cost than saving the planet."

When it comes to building energy-efficient homes, Sierra Classic's standard features meet or exceed most industry standards. In addition, each potential homeowner has the ability to choose from many other green options we offer.
