The Stitt Group

Over 40 Years Experience

We help our Clients build better homes — homes that lead to happier, healthier lives. Our Clients are forward thinkers — they defy the conventional approach to building and demand energy-efficient, environmentally responsible homes. Their confidence and commitment to a better future inspire us every day!

We believe that energy independence and a clean, healthy environment begin at home. Over the years, we’ve pioneered the use of improved building materials, best building practices, and common-sense strategies for new construction. We’ve earned multiple national awards while helping our Clients live lives that respect and help preserve our natural resources. This is how we contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable world!

Forward-thinking Clients are the reason Stitt homes have won so many awards. These homeowners value comfort, health, and sustainability as much as beauty. They follow their convictions and make a real difference in the world!

Who We Are

Committed to Clients

Our team of home energy, design, and construction professionals enjoy helping clients build their dream homes — truly custom homes designed and built to fit individual lifestyles and core values. We began building energy-efficient homes in the 1970s: our response to the first of many energy crises. This path has allowed us to make a socially responsible living while improving the health, well-being, and happiness of not only our Clients, but also our employees and future generations.
