For Explorer Homes, green building is not a gimmick or trend, 
but the direction we are sailing. Right now, everyone has not caught on to the need or savings associated with this concept, so that is why we offer a wide array of options in hopes that our homes will make a difference by showing more people how easy it is to turn your home into a hybrid.
As one of the original members of Delaware's Green Building Council, Explorer Homes Inc. has worked to change legislation that impedes the advancement of sustainable methods. Our research is at the forefront of this revolution and that is why dollar for dollar our homes out perform the competition.
