Green Star Builders

I own Holz llc, a cabinet and furniture fabrication business in Santa Fe, and I had the fortune to work for quite a few talented builders over the years. But working with Green Star Builders and owner Jesse is always an outstanding experience. His enthusiasm, integrity and fun and quirky 'Mad scientist' spirit always creates a great bond with the owners and us, the tradespeople working for him. Below I posted a photo of an art room countertop/bench that he designed with the owner and that I got to fabricate out of a material called Paper Stone. The photo illustrates the great and surprising, never before seen things that often happen on Jesses's projects. He teams up with his wife, Karla, who is a gifted and thorough designer, so I feel that anyone wanting to build their dream home gets a lot of value and support with this company. Oh, and he is an outstanding metal worker....

When asked about a contractor in Santa Fe, I can’t say enough about how pleased we are that we chose Green Star. Jesse Gries, the owner has proven to be a man of his word and has never let us down. Two years after the work was done, he is still providing support for issues that have come up since the original remodeling. Jesse has always taken responsibility for work done by subcontractors and never put us off with “I didn’t do that, you have to contact them”. If I need help, Jesse steps up. I find Jesse to be highly detailed, very efficient and capable of producing superior outcomes. We are extremely pleased with the extensive remodel he did on the 25 year old home we purchased in Santa Fe. He was and continues to be a delight to work with. We were very lucky to have found him.

Working in collaboration with Green Star Builders enabled us to realize a home beyond our imagining. Jesse took our ideas and created a light-filled, comfortable and peaceful environment that we love. His careful siting made the best use of the lot, framing the landscape features to full advantage. His work is meticulous and he is a master at working with steel, incorporating it seamlessly into the overall design of the interior and exterior of the home. Green Star has excellent relationships with subcontractors and suppliers, all of whom worked hard to finish our project within the timeframe given, especially in this most challenging year of 2020. It was a pleasure working with Jesse, and also with Karla, who helped hone our ideas for interior fixtures and finishings and found beautifully designed pieces to bring it all together.

Five billion stars is what Greenstar Builders earned in my estimation. On time, on budget, and surpassing all expectations. Jesse is an artist who transformed our design from beautiful to breath taking. He sourced the best materials and solutions within my budget and held all sub contractor to his high standard. He participated with family and friends to bless the land and brought that respect into every detail - including neighbor relations! My award winning home was the last house built on my street and I still get compliments on the design and builder. Would I do it again? Yes, although I live in a dream home and can't imagine how it can be inproved.

I have been a supplier of appliances to contractors and remodelers all over NM for over a decade now, and I strongly feel that there is not a more patient, accommodating and honest contractor than Jesse Gries of Green Star Builders. His eye for detail, hands-on work ethic, and ability to think outside the box is unprecedented among the builders I work with. Every mutual customer we share seems to continue the relationship with Jesse long after closing as he is conscientious and willing to make things right long after the home's closing. If you are looking for an honest and capable builder/remodeler, look no further than Jesse and Green Star Builders!
