“We want to build homes that help to improve the quality of living in the Valley,” said Kevin Castanos, of Wathen-Castanos, Inc. “That means not only designing luxurious homes but also designing homes that help to decrease pollution and increase energy-efficiency. We want to do everything we can to help minimize our buyer’s energy bills.”
