Charis Homes
About
Charis Homes is a top rated, award winning builder based in Summit County, OH established by Todd Scott and Glenna Wilson in 2003. Our focus is on providing a quieter, healthier home for you and your family that is durable, more valuable and gentler on the environment from the ground up. We strive to add or upgrade products that will increase the energy efficiency of our homes. Not only can we obtain ENERGY STAR Compliance, but we can far exceed those requirements by now meeting the Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home requirements.
With the use of ENERGY STAR appliances, high efficiency windows, house wraps, door and window sealings, increased ceiling insulation and ICF walls, we can achieve certified energy savings of 71%.
When most builders only build for look and finish, we pride ourselves on putting the best products in place. This means we usually spend more for what is behind the wall to achieve a higher value for our home buyers. The appearance may be similar, but don’t be fooled. The quality is quite different. As energy bills continue to skyrocket with no end in sight, the payback on this attention to detail is significant.
