Green Home Builder

Stitt Homes designs green and sustainable homes across the country. Every home we create is designed to fit your site and your unique way of living. Currently, most Stitt Homes are located in Northwest Arkansas, but we have built energy-efficient homes in 18 states. Every home we create is designed to fit your site and your unique way of living.

When done right, green building produces an ultra-comfortable home with the lowest cost of ownership. It also conserves resources and protects the environment for future generations. Our homes:

Make intelligent use of energy through the energy envelope and furnishings
Are structurally resilient in a changing environment
Support well-being and healthy living
Protect precious water resources
Reduce waste and encourage reuse
Preserve nature and wildlife

Our Approach

Committed to Clients

A Stitt home assures you of ultra-comfortable living, low energy bills, and the satisfaction of being environmentally responsible. To create a better home, we rely on experience, building science and collaboration with you and your local builder. This unique approach streamlines the design/build process into a rewarding experience for everyone.

Building Science

Advanced materials and techniques researched by building science professionals create stronger, healthier, more efficient homes. Energy Star and other ‘green’ building organizations support those advances, but state and local codes have not kept pace. Inspectors look for minimum code compliance and make no guarantee of home comfort, durability or energy performance. The Stitt Group does – we employ building science and consistently build to a higher standard. We confirm that by testing each home and providing a written energy guarantee.

Collaboration

Our collaborative approach to the design/build process gives you control over your floorplan, finishes, budget and builder. Because your floorplan is often affected by the views, elevations, and features of your building site, we visit your site before the first design meeting. After sharing your ideas with our design team, we create your floor plan together. We estimate construction costs as we go to ensure the floor plan stays within budget.

We also pre-screen builders to find those who have good references and have established relationships with quality vendors and subcontractors in their area. Choose the one you’re most comfortable with, and let the adventure begin!

Beginning to End

Our unique and proven process is a rewarding way to build your dream home. Rely on our experience, building science and our approach to create a better home that’s ultra-comfortable, energy smart, and a joy to live in every day.

Custom Design

"Having an energy efficient home in order to stretch our retirement dollars was a top priority. We initially showed up at Stitt with just a magazine picture of a house we both liked. From that picture and a few conversations concerning our likes and dislikes, Stitt designed our energy efficient dream home. Every employee we came in contact with, from design through construction to include our follow-on solar project, has been professional and helpful. We were living 600 miles away from the site during construction and we relied on Stitt to ensure a quality build. We were not disappointed. Our house tested 50 on the HERS index, 30 percent better than an energy star rated home. During a visit to the build site one of the workers said it best. “I can go into your attic to do work and not break into a sweat.” This was July in Arkansas. Now with the addition of our solar panels we should see an additional 30 percent reduction in our energy usage. Our home is built to our specifications, energy efficient, and cost effective. Our experience with Stitt has been nothing but positive."

"The first time we met David and Jennifer we had a piece of land in the forest …twelve months later we have a beautiful, energy efficient home nestled in the woods. Sitting down with the Stitt team to “design” our house was a blast. They listened; made suggestions; looked at the dozens of pictures we presented and the best part is…we have exactly what we wanted. We really felt like the Stitt team had our back whenever we hit an obstacle. They were always honest and offered workable solutions. That meant a lot. They were real easy to deal with…helped us a lot. We received a very detailed breakdown of everything in our budget…no surprises. That was nice!"

"After stopping to investigate and meeting Orlo and his staff, we were confident these were the people to help us build our dream home. After many consultations and much planning over the next five years, Stitt turned our dream into a reality. We arrived at our lovely, clean and carpeted house for the first time and knew we had made no mistake in choosing Stitt to build our home. Over the years, Orlo and staff have always been helpful with any problems or questions we’ve had. In 1996, we had Stitt construct a pool house adjacent to our home. Consequently, Stitt has been a very integral part of the happiness we are experiencing in our retirement at Holiday Island."

"We have nothing but fond memories of our association with Orlo and the Stitt crew. We were there almost at the very beginning (I think ours was the fourth or fifth home Stitt built). We have always appreciated Orlo and Mary as friends in addition to being the best people we could have turned to when we wanted to build a solar home. It always will remain a testimony of the highest standards in construction, especially in our town."

"Let me count the ways I love my Stitt home! My electric bill, which hovers around $25 per month; the coolness of the lower level on hot days and warmth on cold days; the convenience of having everything I need on one level; my wood stove that keeps me cozy in the winter; my feeling of safety during a bad storm (tornado); the hot water generated by the solar panels. Must I go on? Thanks for your help in designing and building my dream house."

"Mike and I can honestly say that we have NEVER received better treatment from anyone, ever, than we did from each of you and each of your staff members. I have dealt with many businesses in my lifetime and there is usually at least one non-productive, annoying, or rude employee, but not at Stitt: Everyone is great! All the staff really bent over backward to help us in any way they could when we were thinking about, planning and preparing, and building our home. It is beautiful and everyone loves it! Thanks so much for all the time, energy, and care that you all gave so freely to us over the last few years. We really love our home more and more. We think it just keeps getting better."
