Homeowner Dustin Hindman worked with Positive Energy on two separate projects, noting that the team collaborated seamlessly with his architect and builder to ensure design feasibility four years ago and continuing into a second project. General contractor Ryan Lurie specifically praised the firm's thorough design documentation and responsive communication during a net-zero home project in Seattle. Builder Trey Forgecraft emphasized that many of the area's most respected builders and architects will not proceed without Positive Energy on the project team, citing the firm's role in preventing coordination issues and poorly performing systems.
