Redtail Ridge is the newest neighborhood to require all builders certify the homes built there to the Earth Advantage Home Certification standard. This is the first neighborhood in Redmond where the developer has elected to assure the homes are all built to a higher standard of energy efficiency and sustainability. Third party certification, including rigorous on site inspections and sophisticated performance testing, appeals to developers who wish to protect the housing values in their neighborhoods and assure the builders they work with deliver a higher quality home in their neighborhood.
Redtail Ridge now joins other Central Oregon neighborhoods, such as Northwest Crossing (Bend), Hidden Hills (Bend), Brasada Ranch (Powell Butte), Yarrow (Madras), Iron Horse (Prineville) and Clearpine (Sisters) in requiring Earth Advantage certification. The commitment of developers and builders in these neighborhoods demonstrates a commitment to quality. Using the five pillars of certification; Energy, Health, Land, Materials and Water, these neighborhoods are showcasing the future of quality home building.
The builders in Redtail Ridge focus on quality craftsmanship with a diverse range of architectural styles. JD Neel Construction, and a handful of other select builders, leads the way in offering this neighborhood of Earth Advantage certified homes in Redmond, OR. Jason Neel, of JD Neel Construction, feels that a more comfortable, durable home with healthier air quality and a focus on energy efficiency will make any home buyer feel good about their new home purchase.
