Focus on Energy
Homes Built Conscientiously
Preferred Builders of Watertown is proud to say we participate in Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy program. Formerly called Wisconsin’s Energy Star program, Focus on Energy has been helping Wisconsin home builders for more than 20 years in building homes exceeding the standard for quality, safety, comfort, durability, and energy efficiency.
Why should you choose a
“Focus on Energy” builder?
Builders, like Preferred Builders of Watertown, are certified to construct homes that meet high standards of energy efficiency, resulting in significantly lower utility bills, environmental benefits, and potential added value to your home compared to a standard build, all while being backed by a recognized program that ensures quality and performance within your region.
Key reasons to choose a Focus on Energy builder:
- Lower energy costs: Homes built by Focus on Energy builders are designed to use less energy, leading to significantly reduced utility bills throughout the year.
- Environmental impact: By using less energy, you contribute to a smaller carbon footprint and help protect the environment.
- Improved comfort: Energy-efficient designs can also enhance indoor comfort by optimizing insulation, ventilation, and temperature control.
- Higher resale value: Homes with Focus on Energy certification are often more attractive to potential buyers due to their energy efficiency features, potentially leading to a higher selling price.
- Expert guidance: Focus on Energy provides builders with training and support to ensure they meet the program’s rigorous standards, giving you confidence in the quality of your new home.
- Local focus: This program is typically tailored to specific regions, considering local climate conditions and energy codes for optimal efficiency.
A Fantastic Job from Start to Finish!
Jason and his team recently redid our deck and expanded it to include a hot tub. From start to finish, Jason and his team did a fantastic job. They were professional, courteous, timely, and very responsive with communication. I would highly recommend Preferred Builders of Watertown and plan to use Jason and his team again – great job and we look forward to enjoying our deck for many years!
We Absolutely LOVE our Kitchen Remodel!
They did an outstanding job and were very professional, thorough, and personable. Their attention to detail and perfection resulted in a high quality project. Both family and friends comment on the quality, craftsmanship, and functionality.
Thank You for Making our Dream Home a Reality!
It’s been months but we still feel like we’re visiting an expensive resort because of how beautifully everything is finished. Jason and Aaron were a lot of fun to work with and very helpful throughout the process. We wish you and all your subcontractors continued success!
Highly Recommend, Will Use Again!
Preferred Builders replaced our deck boards and railings. My husband and I are very pleased with their work. Jason and his employees are very professional, prompt and courteous. The install took a little over three days due to weather and they cleaned up every day. I highly recommend Preferred Builders and will use them again in the future.
Professional Service From Start to Finish!
We recently completed a kitchen project with Jason and are very happy with the finished project. He and his crew took care of all the details, they were on time and cleaned up daily. If there was a delay or change in plans Jason promptly let us know. He was able to connect us with local businesses for the work his crew could not do. Professional service from start to finish.
How do you get started?
Let us help you! As a certified Focus on Energy partner, we’re here to guide you thru the process. Every home in Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy program undergoes a series of performance tests and must meet specific program standards, including:
- Framing and insulation installation review
- Air-tightness to minimize drafts and create superior indoor air quality
- Sealed combustion equipment and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure safety
- Whole-house ventilation installed for proper ventilation
Upon certification, homeowners receive a certification report that shows the home’s energy savings.
