Green Emerald Construction - Salmon Arm, British Columbia

We just installed a couple of drop ceilings for Shane on one of his small renovations. From a subcontractors point of view, Shane was awesome to deal with. He was responsive with any questions, and easy to talk though any problems or "job conditions" with. I was on site to see his interactions with the home owner and was very impressed. He was calm, patient and always had a smile. I look forward to hopefully doing more work along side Shane and his team.

We have done a number of foundation subcontracts for Green Emerald Construction over the years and have always enjoyed the friendly, co-operative and safe work environment that Green Emerald's has provided. Their commitment to high quality building practices gives us the confidence to continue working collaboratively to give the best product possible to all the customers that they serve.

Here is a review we have just received from some of our wonderful clients:

Building a custom home with Green Emerald was a first for us. We had never designed and built a custom home before and had never lived in the Shuswap region before. We placed our trust in Green Emerald Construction and 12 months later, we had a beautiful, quality built, forever home. Gary and Marilla were terrific to work with. Impressively, they answered their phones and shared their expertise with patience and friendliness. Their ideas and advice proved sound and have added to the enjoyment of our home.

We are particularly happy with the Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) that were used in the building of our home. We can feel the difference between our house and a frame constructed house. Our SIP built home feels more cozy and comfortable. Previously, we lived in a 1487 square foot rancher on a crawl space on the West Coast. Our current house built with SIP construction is 3482 square feet with a basement and many large windows. I compared the gas bills from each home over a period of 8 months. Six of the eight months we paid less for gas here in the Shuswap than we did for our smaller timber framed house on the coast. (The shoulder months were more expensive here in the Shuswap than on the coast as winter came sooner and lasted longer.)

I am thrilled that Green Emerald uses SIP and that it has made such a happy difference in our heating costs. I would recommend to everyone who is building a home in Canada to use SIP construction.

We purchased our home from Gary ( Green Emerald Construction ) in June 2016, the house was not finished so Gary let us put our finishing touches on it. He was very helpful and professional through out the whole process. We are very pleased with the house and love the location. Thanks Gary

Marta and Bob: A beautifully designed and superbly constructed home by Green Emerald Estates located in this new Upper Lakeshore neighbourhood--and now my husband and I have the privilege of owning this gem. Gary Arsenault and his team were a pleasure to work with. Any changes we requested were attended to promptly. Tradespeople are professional and courteous.

Gary Arsenault and the Green Emerald team built our custom house in 2016/17. They met all our requirements and completed the project on time. We love our neighbourhood and living in the Shuswap in our new house.

Green Emerald Construction are very fine builders. All the buildings I have seen built by Green Emerald Construction are very high quality. I would highly recommend them, if you want a custom home that is quality built and energy efficient. Annette Cosens, Realtor®

These guys have been working on putting in a street and utilities for postage stamp size lots for three years in Sicamous. For the past four months they have been tearing up what they did last year and laying in another street with a bobcat and a tiny excavator. They have dug up the same areas three times and redone there work. No regard for the surrounding homes and total lack of dust control. They race around in circles creating dust storms and don't appear to ever make any progress. Looks like a gong show.
Not any attempt to mitigate their impact on the residents.

I have seen entire subdivisions built out to completed homes in less than half the time. With the proper equipment they could have done the whole thing in a month.
