Potterhill Homes - Suburban Green Home Construction

Just one look at a Potterhill home and you can tell we’re different.  Craftsman designs of times gone by.  Big front porches invite you to sit and chat on warm summer nights.  Neighborhoods of homes, not just a field of characterless houses.  These are places where your fondest memories are made.

While we are proud of the innovate designs of our craftsman-style homes, there is much more to our story.  For instance, we are a green builder.  That means our homes are built to keep energy costs down, reduce waste during construction and improve indoor air quality.

But good design is about more than good looks. It is about solid construction, sound use of space and ecological responsibility.

That’s why our homes are built to save energy and money while providing increased comfort.  We were Cincinnati’s first true “green builder.”  Green building is a holistic approach to building to minimize your environmental footprint by building in a socially, economically and ecologically responsible manner.  In the end, when you buy a Potterhill Home, you are buying a house that meets ENERGY STAR® standards, uses fewer resources for heating, cooling and operation the home and is built creating less waste.

Some numbers tell the story. Incorporating the many ways green built homes (energy cost, tax incentives, etc.) save money, homeowners can save over $70,000 over the life of a $250,000 mortgage just by building green. And our ENERGY STAR® compliant and LEED-rated homes are over 40 percent more energy efficient than EPA standards. 

We believe so strongly in green building that Potterhill incorporates many green building products into our standard features. 92% efficiency furnaces, NuWool® blown cellulous insulation made from recycled newspapers, Low VOC paint, and programmable thermostats are just a few of the products standard in Potterhill Homes. 

We care about the home you buy from us.  That’s why every Potterhill Home undergoes a 130-point inspection before you move in.  This comprehensive examination covers everything from furnaces to light bulbs.  And every home we build comes with a 7-year warranty covering the heating and cooling system, the plumbing, the electrical, all installed appliances and many other features.  Your new home is virtually maintenance free for the first seven years!
