Shine On Champions
Each season we recognize a partner who exemplifies our core values
Cary Woodle
“Never Settle. Cary is always nearby, ready to support with making sure our feedback is implemented even if that means making corrections himself to get the job done quickly. He holds us and his team accountable, and cares about the product he puts out and the job we do. Everyone of us at SEM that work alongside him have had good things to say about Cary!”
— Nominated by Robert and our Coastal Team, Spring 2026
Brian Dyer
Yellow Dot Heating & Air Conditioning
“Enjoy the Journey. Brian is always a delight to work with. He responds quickly and is gracious. He says that we are always a pleasure to work with and I feel the same about him!”
— Samantha S., Fall 2025
Brian Hoy
“Never Settle. Brian has been so instrumental and helpful in getting pre-drywall inspections to pass. With Brian’s help, our team has been able to work with him and his colleagues to correct insulation and air sealing deficiencies in real time. These efforts don’t just reduce re-inspections which cost time and money, but they can guarantee compliance for programs such as ENERGY STAR, or simply maximize builder rebates through the HERO incentive programs.”
— Emil D., Spring 2025
Zero-Energy Shout Outs
McMillan Builders
We are thrilled to spotlight a project by our friends at McMillan Builders that has achieved ecoSelect Certification with a -3 HERS Score — that means this home is a net-zero home! To meet the client’s vision of an aesthetically pleasing net-zero home with a lot of light and space for hosting events, McMillan Design Build incorporated geo and hydro thermal, a radiant floor heating system, spray foam insulation, steel beam construction, solar power and more! We are happy to support this project’s net-zero journey from the ground up with energy modeling and verification of energy efficient building practices, and the roof down with installation of a 15kW solar system. ☀️
