The June 2020 RESNET Builder of the Month is ICON Custom Home Builder, LLC in El Paso, Texas. ICON began over 15 years ago when El Paso natives Carlos Garcia and his wife Juanita endeavored into the home building industry. Their creative vision gave way to a successful model home, which turned into two, then three. Together, they have excelled in the world of luxury home builders, building high-quality and beautifully designed modern homes in the community. We asked Icon Marketing Manager Raul Rodriguez on why the company has all of its homes HERS® rated. He says, “Because we want to offer not only the best quality home but the best value for the consumers’ investment with exceptional efficiency.” He adds that what makes a HERS® rated home special is “It is built with energy efficiency in mind, translating to money savings to the buyer of HERS® rated home. It is actually tested with measurable results ensuring the consumer that the label is earned and not just a paid-for stamp of certification. We feel that a HERS® rating is extremely important. It gives the buyer the information required to make an informed decision. Having a RESNET official rating is basically putting a seal of approval.” Read more of the profile here.
