EverGrain Built
Terms of use
These Terms of Use explain how you may use EverGrain Built. EverGrain Built is a free matching and guide service. We are not a builder, architect, engineer, or contractor, and we do not promise any cost, energy result, certification, timeline, or project outcome.
What EverGrain Built does
EverGrain Built helps homeowners learn about green, energy-efficient, and passive home building, and request introductions to builders who may serve their area and project type. Our service is informational and for matching only.
We do not build homes, design homes, manage construction, supervise job sites, set builder pricing, or make contracts on your behalf. Any work you choose to buy is between you and the builder or other licensed professional you hire.
If you use our get matched form, you compare your options and decide who to contact or hire. Always confirm scope, materials, schedule, warranties, permits, and price in a written agreement with a licensed builder.
Information you give us and contact consent
When you contact us or use our forms, you may give us project details and contact details. This may include your name, phone number, email address, location, timeline, budget range, lot or home details, and goals for energy efficiency or green features.
We collect project and contact information only for matching and follow-up. We do not ask for or collect financial account numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers through our matching forms.
By submitting a form, you agree that EverGrain Built and builders we match to your request may contact you about your project. Contact may happen by phone call, email, or text message, including automated technology where allowed by law. Your consent is not a condition of buying anything, because our matching service is free.
If your contact details change, please let us know. You can also choose not to respond, ask a party to stop contacting you, or avoid submitting a form until you are ready.
No guarantee, no endorsement, your responsibility
We try to make helpful matches, but we do not guarantee that you will receive a match, hire a builder, start a project, finish a project, meet a budget, meet a schedule, or achieve any energy, comfort, air-tightness, certification, or resale result. Results vary by climate, site, design, materials, labor market, and the professionals you hire.
A match or listing through EverGrain Built is not a promise, endorsement, warranty, or certification of any builder. You must do your own review before hiring anyone.
Before you sign a contract, you should verify:
- current license status, if required in your state or city
- insurance coverage, including liability and workers' compensation, if applicable
- references and past project experience
- written scope of work, allowances, exclusions, change-order process, and payment terms
- who is responsible for plans, permits, testing, and inspections
Our educational content, including pages like how it works, learn, systems, and costs, is general information only. It is not legal, financial, engineering, architectural, or construction advice.
Acceptable use and updates to these terms
Please use this website lawfully and honestly. Do not submit false information, impersonate another person, interfere with the site, scrape content in a harmful way, or use the service to spam builders or EverGrain Built.
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time by posting a revised version on this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
If a part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest will still apply to the fullest extent allowed by law. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site or submit the get matched form.
Short version: EverGrain Built helps you learn and get matched. We do not build homes or guarantee results, so please verify any builder and get all scope and price terms in writing.
Common questions
Is EverGrain Built my builder or contractor?
No. EverGrain Built is a free matching and guide service. We are not the builder, architect, engineer, or contractor on your project, and we do not sell or perform construction work.
What information do you collect when I fill out a form?
We collect contact details and project details so we can respond and try to match your request. This can include your name, phone, email, location, timeline, budget range, and project goals. We do not collect financial account numbers through our matching forms.
Will you or matched builders contact me?
Yes. If you submit a form, EverGrain Built and matched builders may contact you by phone, email, or text about your project, including automated technology where allowed by law. If you do not want contact, do not submit the form, or ask the party contacting you to stop.
Do you guarantee price, energy savings, or builder quality?
No. We do not guarantee price, timeline, energy use, certification, comfort, workmanship, or any other project result. You should review each builder carefully and verify license, insurance, references, and contract terms yourself before hiring.
Thinking about an energy-efficient or passive home?
Start with the basics of how a high-performance home works. Then get matched, free, with green builders who serve your area. You compare and choose who to hire — and confirm the price in writing before any work starts.
