“Working with Merten on their green building projects has been a pleasure for us due to their professionalism, depth of knowledge and commitment to reducing the impact of their projects on the planet.

Jeff Scott, President, Sol Source

“My home is absolutely packed with green products, such as high-efficiency SIPs wall system, insulated concrete forms, high-efficiency radiant heating system, passive solar design, solar photo-voltaic ready electrical system, renewable materials, water saving low-flow plumbing fixtures & xeriscaping. Rob Ross, Merten's Lead Architect, was very creative with designing outdoor & rooftop patio space to include key design elements that were challenging to fit within an urban footprint. Merten's team has worked tirelessly to meet all of my functional wishes, while creating a modern-industrial design that is sure to be visually interesting and appealing when complete.”

“We were able to realize our dream of building a beautiful mountain getaway home thanks to Merten. They helped us through every step creating one-of-a-kind architectural details with the final result absolutely stunning! Very important to us was to create a sustainable home using the most up-to-date green materials and technology available. The Merten folks are on the cutting edge of green building techniques and they were always ready to research and find the most sustainable and environmentally- sound materials and practices. We not only love our place but are extremely happy and proud about achieving our goals to build with high standards of environmental consciousness resulting in our home being awarded LEED Gold certification. Our project manager became more like family as his enthusiasm and attention to every detail made the process of construction a great adventure! The staff architect allowed us to be integrally involved while providing us with ongoing creative and technical guidance. In addition, we were always impressed that the subcontractors Merten worked with were of the highest quality, creative and always seemed to take great personal pride in the project. In short, we are extremely proud to be associated with the Merten folks in creating our beautiful, sustainable retreat.”

“Merten performed such exquisite work on our first project, that we selected them for our second as well. As practitioners of sustainability in both our personal and our professional lives it was extremely important to us that our designer and builder share these values, and Merten has impressed us on all fronts: green building acumen, passion and creativity, customer service, and professionalism. We were especially impressed the level of care, coordination, and teamwork that the Project Manager Peter Grant and Architect Robert Ross provided. Every detail – from structural integrity…to the creative use and application of materials and aesthetics…to the final appearance and integrated functionality – was scrutinized and fine-tuned to our delight. Moreover, we were always presented with options, felt truly heard and understood, and participated in the material selection process as well. Thank you Merten!”
