Thank you for all your continued support of Oakwood Homes!

Oakwood Homes was approached by the Home Builder’s Foundation to help a couple, Mary Porter and Gene Handley.  Gene was recently in a major motor vehicle accident rendering him paralyzed from the waist down with no use of his left arm and only partial use of his right.  We met the HBF staff and Mary at her home on May 16^th and were informed what adjustments the home would need: two exterior ramps, widen two exterior doors, change interior door locations and sizes to include pocket doors, remodel the bathroom, and replace all flooring in the master bedroom, master bathroom, living room and entryway with hardwood.  It needed to be done prior to June 14^th – being the date that Gene would be coming home from Craig Hospital.

Luis Meza with Oakwood Homes took the lead on the project to complete the remodel in 4 weeks before Gene returned home.  With gracious donations from many of our trade partners, Oakwood was able to complete the project in this short amount of time.  It was an honor to be involved in this project and we’d like to thank the HBF for giving us the opportunity to give back and continue our commitment to Colorado communities.  We wish Gene and Mary all the best as they work through these difficult times and hope our efforts have helped.

We want to thank our trade partners for their time and donations:

Through the efforts of Oakwood Homes and the students in the "Residential Practicum" capstone course at the University of Denver, Green Valley Ranch will be the location of the first Net-Zero Energy home by a production builder in Denver!  The home at 5223 Dunkirk St. (located right next to Oakwood's Geneva Square collection) and available for viewings now.

Articles about the net-zero house:

Happy Earth Day!  With the long-standing energy saving practices and features used in building every Oakwood home, we are now proud to announce our Guaranteed Energy Bill Program to promise savings to every Oakwood homeowner.

We are so confident in the homes we build with energy savings and quality that go along with each home that we'll now guarantee your energy bills for the first two years after your home is built.  100% of our homes are independently certified by a third party energy tester in order to ensure each home meets our strictest quality guidelines which surpass code requirements.  These three tests allow us to precisely gauge what the energy usage will be in each house even before it is built - and in turn we guarantee these lower energy bill savings.  If your energy bills exceed the pre-determined annual amount, Oakwood Homes will reimburse you 100% of the cost difference!

Oakwood Homes' Thompson River Ranch community in Loveland won the 2010 Excellence in Landscaping Award from the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado (ALCC).  This adds to the many reasons that make these homes in Loveland the smart choice for homes in Northern Colorado!
