While this is certainly important, Jess feels the methods of construction he uses provide a much more comfortable and healthy environment.

Hall Quality Homes is a leader in the construction of new homes using the latest in energy efficient techniques. All homes built by Hall Quality Homes are constructed to stringent FIVE STAR ENERGY standards. This standard is achieved by using air tight techniques, including Low E Argon Windows, 92% sealed combustion gas forced air furnace, R-21 wall insulation, R-44 ceiling insulation and a Heat Recovery Ventilator. This system supplies the home with a constant supply of fresh air with controlled humidity levels. Jess built his first "Super Insulated" home as a demonstration project in 1985. Since then, he has continued to refine his construction techniques. Years ago, Jess saw mold being a major concern in residential construction. Mold issues are now a major legal issue in the U.S. In an effort to eliminate this problem each home is equipped with a mechanical ventilation system. He has shared his knowledge and experience with builders throughout the state as an instructor with the Alaska Craftsman Home Program. In 1997, Hall Quality Homes was presented with the Building Innovation in Home Ownership Award, presented by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The result is a home designed and built for Alaska.
