About us

GreenHomeGuide believes people can improve the environment and make their homes safe, comfortable and rejuvenating at the same time. Willem Maas founded GreenHomeGuide in San Francisco in 2004 to address the frustration and uncertainty he heard from people who wanted to green their homes but got bogged down trying to find reliable advice and sorting out products’ competing claims. The website provides know how, a green directory and possibilities to participate.
