This passive solar house utilizes building site orientation, wide soffits, and stained concrete floors with radiant heating to maximize the energy efficiency and temperature control. One story, three bedrooms, fireplace and a courtyard with a fountain. Our experience with Gary and Serra Construction was excellent! Gary gave good, practical advice, listening to my opinions, but advising me when he thought certain things would not work for the house. Gary even called a while after we moved in to ask about the sunlight coming into the living room to be sure the solar efficiency was as expected. What we heard most about Gary before we started building was his great integrity. We found this to be true for our building experience with him. – Robin and Carey Cox

I clean maybe once a month, but it's not because the house needs it. There's no dust. The temperature stays controlled; there's no cracks, no cold air coming in. Everyone who comes to our house says, "Wow, this is beautiful." – Brad & Kiera Feldhaus

As soon as we walked into this one we could tell the quality of it from the structure and the sound. I've never lived in a house like this before. I can go 6 to 8 weeks without dusting, and it's a real bonus. I also think it speaks for the quality of Gary's construction." – Scott & Juanita Peterson

Astoria, Oregon Completed 1995. 3000 sq. ft. Extensive remodel and addition to 1970s ranch style home. Major structural changes; salvaged old-growth fir timbers for use in kitchen. Exposed cedar shingles and decks overlooking Columbia River. Gary had taken our love for this place into his own heart. He saved us money without skimping on essentials; his thoroughness allowed us to come in under budget. He never missed a day -- even through the first days of his new baby girl's life, he came and toiled. There was laughter and working together, no egos clashing. He built this house for us to be happy in. And we are. When it was all done and he drove off for the last time, we felt at a loss for our builder and friend who had made it all possible. – Michael & Petra Mathers
