About Homecrete Homes
Homecrete Homes Inc., (www.homecretehomes.com), was formed by a group of partners in 1999 to address what they felt was a growing need for sustainable, safe and energy-efficient housing in the Port St. Lucie/Treasure Coast of Florida and the Bakersfield/Central Valley of California. They saw the increasing demand for high quality, affordable custom and spec homes that would not only offer a wide range of custom features and amenities, but also provide superior protection from natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes as well as address the growing concerns over high energy costs. The decision to live in a Homecrete Home is an environmentally responsible choice. Our homes require less energy to heat and cool, eliminate many indoor air contaminants and provide a sustainable structure that will still be standing 100 years from now.
