Testimonials

As of March 2011, I have lived in my Anthony Aebi-built home for two years, and I could not be more satisfied. Not only did the home live up to the zero energy promise (I received $175 this year from Central Hudson and no energy bills since I moved in!), but I have been able to see on a daily basis the quality of Anthony's craftmanship. My home feels beautiful and durable inside and out. Oh, and here's a little secret he probably wouldn't want me to share...Anthony takes such pride in his homes that he stops by frequently to check up and even takes it upon himself to fix little things he notices. It's like buying a home with a hassle-free, lifetime warranty! Now I don't know if he'll be able to do this for every home he builds here, but I can imagine him trying. ~ David Shepler, First resident of Green Acres
