Green Canopy Homes

We have been working with Green Canopy Homes for about 2 years now and I have to say they are one of our top clients! Because the way they do business! As a subcontractor of theirs we appreciate how their payment process is set up, it has been working great for us! (by the way they pay promptly) Also, their project managers are super responsive; if we can’t get a hold of someone we know they will get back to us within 2 hours. Lastly, the quality of craftsmanship that they ask from us is very high! And their safety policy is keeping construction process free from accidents. I like working for this company!

Not the worst but not the best experience with Green Canopy. They did a really good job with our home. It looks great and we were able to select the exterior color schemes and some of the finishes (we did a pre-sale).At the start they were very welcoming and open to adjustments but after closing is where their communication fell short. Punch list items took months to complete and the front yard landscape wasn’t done properly so my husband and I ended up paying for 80% to fix it while Green Canopy agreed to pay 20%. If you end up purchasing a pre-​sale with them I recommend not closing to all of the punch list items are complete and be very specific about landscape.
I recommend their completed homes and proceed with caution on pre-​sale transactions

DO NOT BUY A GREEN CANOPY HOME. PLEASE READ OR CONTACT ME. I WILL HAPPILY SHARE MY EXPERIENCES DIRECTLY WITH YOU.
My wife and I purchased one of their Sage and Thyme project homes and we were initially really excited. But as we approached our closing date, there were clearly issues that needed to be resolved. We were told they would be handled quickly as part of the warranty and that was far from it. To date, we still have a laundry list of items that we mutually agreed would be addressed that are still unresolved. It’s been over 8 months. A sample of the items include:
* «Bubbling» in hardwood floor in multiple locations.
* Trim pieces missing.
* Incorrect sheen on touch up paint throughout the house.
* Bowing on wall beyond a ¼ inch.
We also felt we were «oversold» on the efficiency of the home. Examples:
* No traditional bathroom fans were installed instead we were told the vents circulated air constantly to keep the air fresh. Not so.
* Heat has been a constant issue. We have not been able to get the house to a comfortable temperature.
* Soundproofing between units is extremely poor. We’ve lived in townhomes and condos before but have not experienced this poor of soundproofing. We can hear our neighbors walking up/​down the stairs, closing doors, plumbing, etc… I naturally expect that some noise will filter through but I wouldn’t expect to hear their shower running.
* Our monthly utility bills are higher than they claimed it would be given the energy efficiency (after adjusting for the utility rates).

working on a Green Canopy project was a complete disaster. I was hired by the program manager to landscape a Green Canopy house in Ballard and I can safely say it turned out to be the worst experience I’ve encountered. First off, during the the times I was onsite measuring and staking out the design according to the landscape architect’s plans, I noticed that the house was a modern box design that stuck out like a sore thumb in the neighborhood. As to the house itself, it was poorly designed for the different «green» elements, like the water drainage system etc. After all my prep work, I began work and noticed the large crew was restless and not very happy. At the end of the day we were all told that work would be halted because Green Canopy was refusing to pay the program manager’s company the invoice they had submitted for the work done for the past month and the materials that had been purchased. I still haven’t been paid because Green Canopy’s CEO Aaron Fairchild is refusing to make good on the invoice. In my opinion this is no way to operate a company or build houses.
