2022 Energy Efficient Builder: Waldo Homes

Since 2004, Waldo Homes has earned an outstanding reputation for building exceptional luxury custom homes in the Rio Grande Valley. This family-owned and managed company has been consistently recognized with awards for excellence in construction in Parade of Homes competitions—and there have been many awards over the years, including winning most of the awards in two back-to-back Parade of Homes competitions—among them Best of Show and the People’s Choice Awards.

Walk into any one of Waldo Homes’ custom homes, and whether it is large or small, you cannot miss feeling like you have walked into a uniquely special home. The company’s talented team, founder Luis Waldo, his wife Teresa, their daughter Karen, and their son Danny and his wife Allison, have perfected the art of creating homes that impress the soul with beauty, style, design, elegance, and rich details.

And while the luxury and beauty of a Waldo home is entirely visible, you cannot actually “see” the beauty of energy-efficient and superior construction behind the walls; as well, not visible are the other things that can only be felt—like comfortable interiors with healthy indoor air. These are all a bonus of a Waldo home that’s certified as BUILT TO SAVE®.

For most of us, buying a new home is the largest investment we will ever make in our lifetime. We’d like to believe that our investment is a good one, protected by quality, durable construction, and superior energy efficiency. Now, every new home on the market today seems to be represented as having all those qualities, so how can we be sure? The best advice is not to take anyone’s word for this. Look for a high-performance label like BUILT TO SAVE®. What this means is that the builder is not the one saying the home is energy efficient and constructed to superior standards—it’s a third-party home energy Rater who inspected, tested, and verified the home’s compliance to the high-performance home standards of the BUILT TO SAVE® program.

Combine the rich elegance of a Waldo home with the high-performance certification of the BUILT TO SAVE® program and you have a dream home—an extraordinary dream home.

And while others have tried to replicate Waldo Homes’ success by mimicking their unique architectural designs and ideas, the root of the company’s success can never be truly duplicated because it lies in the hearts of the Waldo Homes’ team members—a love for what they can do for you.

Congratulations to WALDO HOMES on being recognized as a 2022 Leading Energy Efficient Builder!
