GreenPod - Custom Tiny Homes, Renovations, & ADUs

Love that this company solely uses SIP panels! Definitely a dedicated eco-building company, for sure. When I first took the tour of their display house, I was amazed at how energy efficient the build was. It was freezing outside that day! And stepping in, I instantly thawed out..(it wasn't even heated!) Honestly, I never realized how important good insulation was until that moment. I also especially loved how they consider their builds, "art we live in." They really seem to care about the finer details of a build, from initial design, all the way through the building process. Definitely shows in the end results. And lastly they are a woman owned company! Love that so much.. especially a building company! I feel like thats pretty rare.
Well worth scheduling a tour if your'e seriously considering building.

Ann designed a beautiful home for us. The top reason we chose GreenPod was their commitment to green, sustainable, quality construction that fits with the land and is beautiful.
We loved our time working with Ann and GreenPod. Ann’s energy and creativity inspired us. She encouraged our input and listened to our ideas. Over and over, we heard Ann say, “I want you to be happy with the results.” Ann is a responsive communicator and very generous with her time. We observed integrity in all areas of her work. It was a joy to be able to put our complete trust in her and her team. Thank you!

We were delivering a window as my hubby is her window man! I had spent two years drawing a new home for us in Long Beach WA, i want a green home low maintenance, we want to capture the rain(80 inches a year annually). Ann asked if she could take a look. She said "abby this doesn't do what you want". I told her help me make right. So on her day off and take a bit of time out of her extremely busy schedule she helped me make it right. I keep all my wants, craft room, swim spa sunroom, storage and passive solar, active solar, and underground water storage fo rain collection and all wwithin our budget! Thanks Ann for helping me get to where i wanted to be all along!

Super busy! Expect slight delays in communication, due to high demand of SIPs constructed homes! Love what they're all about though, it's worth the patience.

Ann is a tremendously energetic architect that has a true passion for green building, quality products, and quality of life. She is a no holds barred person that is not afraid to tell it like it is for your project. Quality homes meant to be handed down if that is your choice or sold knowing you are passing on a home built to last a lifetime.

Ann & her team have been exceptionally pleasant & hard working on our house project. I haven't experienced any issues with rudeness or inability to communicate with them as other reviewers have stated. Very excited to see our unique & beautiful home completed. The pandemic has taken a toll on everyone & the building process has suffered, but not due to GreenPod.

GreenPod is an innovative green building and healthy home design and building company. I've known them for quite some time and they are always recreating ways to build homes that we can live in holistically and functionally, even in small spaces. One of the things they do, that isn't done enough by others, is build specifically to the site where details matter. Their homes are beautiful and comfortable to be in. The demand for their products keeps them busy, but it is worth the time to have a GreenPod designed home.

Ann and her team have been so welcoming and supportive as I build my Tiny Home at their site. I’m so thankful to be working for them and having their help through every stage of the build.

Greenpod built my home and I'm delighted with everything about it. I got exactly what I wanted and they were great to work with. I really like the personal touch.

The GreenPod Team is the creative, innovative, and in tune with the frontiers of low impact, green living. The plans for our small home have evolved into an amazing and energy efficient plan because of the team, and we look forward to realizing this dream home this year. Ann and her team are the best!

Most unprofessional house builders I have ever tried to talk to. I inquired about pricing on 3 specific models and the email reply I got was condescending and did not answer my questions. On top of that the email was sent from a personal Gmail account, not formatted to any professional standards, nor was it signed by anyone so I dont even know who contacted me. I tried to call; got through the first time and the person who answered did it on such a way that I was stunned into silence for a moment. Didn't say who was speaking, didn't say the company name. They simply stated my name as a question and asked me to call back. Needless to say I won't be doing business with them.

Ann is a busy and dynamic character who focuses on doing things outside of the norm. She has supported multiple local innovators and customized green building across Jefferson County.

I suspect that the negative reviews I see here are the result of a few former clients who would have been better off with a more cookie cutter contractor who can focus more on getting everything done quickly, albiet boring.

If you are prepared to think about housing from a more holistic perspective, Ann and her team are uniquely aligned to pursue your green project with you.

Another potential customer here who, luckily, read the bad signs correctly early enough to decide not to go with them.

More than six years ago I sent them an initial communication that nobody from GreenPods bothered to respond to in any manner whatsoever. My impression of their attitude was "Don't call us; we'll call you."

So OK. We sure didn't call them a second time!

We should have known from the start that this company is bad news. Friendly Kevin came to our pre-arranged meeting only after we called him and told him we were waiting for him. Bad sign #1. When we called to inquire why we hadn’t heard from them after sending the initial check to begin the design process, Ann said that she hadn’t received the check because it was sent to the address on her business card. She doesn’t check that mail. Bad sign #2. The bad signs continued until we finally paid attention that these people are incompetent builders and pretty good marketers (scam artists?). This would have been our fourth time working with a builder and we had reasonable expectations all of which were squashed. Kevin was a frequent no-show for our meetings (we would call him and remind him!) and when he did come to the meetings he seemed unsure, ill-prepared, and amateurish. But he is a friendly guy!

Ann and Kevin love themselves more than they respect their clients. Do not count on them for anything except taking your money. They have an interesting concept but aren’t capable of executing at the level they think they can. They have a total lack of responsibility to their clients. Don’t get sucked in. Stay away. Don’t subject yourself to working with these prime-time wannabes. Whatever they say, don’t believe them. Nothing on this earth is going to help this dysfunctional and pathetic business that somehow attracts well-intentioned people. What would it take to write such a scathing review? Being burnt – badly!! You’ve been warned! Run – don’t walk – away!

I contacted this company by phone a couple different times with interest in visiting their show home and I was treated extremely poorly. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship but completely disappointed in the treatment I received. That is no way to treat prospective customers. I wish it would have been different so I could have worked with them on a home.

From what I can tell from their website, Green Pod makes an intriguing product and my wife and I were excited to meet with them to discuss building our house. However, the company is a total mess when it comes to communicating and committing to a schedule (all important parts of building a home). Ann, the sales person I was dealing with, admitted to me that her life was in a state of chaos and she would not be able to keep a schedule, so we agreed to part ways. Pity.
