At Stone Martin Builders, we believe that a home should be more than just a place to live—it should be built for comfort, efficiency, and long-term value. That’s why in 2025, we are taking a bold step forward by constructing over 800 ENERGY STAR®-certified homes across Alabama, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable, high-performance homebuilding.
“To celebrate our new designation as the leading single-family ENERGY STAR homebuilder in the Opelika-Auburn area, we are committing to building over 800 energy-efficient homes in 2025, marking a significant milestone in home construction in Alabama,” says John Manasco, COO at Stone Martin Builders. “This gives our homeowners confidence that they’re investing in a home built to last, with reduced environmental impact and long-term cost savings.”
With this initiative, we are not just building houses—we are setting a new benchmark for energy-efficient living, ensuring that families across Alabama and Georgia can experience the benefits of a home designed to maximize energy savings and enhance everyday comfort.
Since our founding in 2006, Stone Martin Builders has been at the forefront of modern home construction in Alabama and Georgia. We have built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and cutting-edge energy efficiency. In 2022, we were recognized as one of the 100 largest homebuilders in the U.S. by Builder Online, a testament to our rapid growth and industry leadership.
By incorporating these features into every home we build, we give our buyers the confidence that they are investing in a durable, high-quality, and environmentally responsible home.
Now, with over 45 communities already featuring ENERGY STAR homes, we are taking our commitment to sustainability to the next level. Our ENERGY STAR-certified homes will be available in cities across Alabama and Georgia, including:
“Our commitment to being an ENERGY STAR partner and constructing ENERGY STAR-certified homes reflects our dedication to building homes that are not only comfortable but also environmentally responsible,” says Briggs DeFoor, Senior Purchasing Agent at Stone Martin Builders. “We’re proud to lead the way in bringing these high-performance homes to our hometown residents in Opelika and Auburn.”
Not all new homes are created equal. Our ENERGY STAR-certified homes meet strict guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ensuring that each home is at least 10 percent more energy-efficient than homes built to minimum code requirements.
So what does that mean for our homeowners?
By incorporating these features into every home we build, we give our buyers the confidence that they are investing in a durable, high-quality, and environmentally responsible home.
Earning an ENERGY STAR certification is not just a simple label—it is a rigorous process that ensures homes meet the highest standards of energy efficiency. Every ENERGY STAR-certified home we build undergoes third-party testing and verification throughout the construction process. This includes:
This attention to detail ensures that every ENERGY STAR-certified home we deliver is built to last, maximize energy efficiency, and provide superior comfort for our homeowners.
