The Amelia

GreenTech Homes began with a shared vision between founders Paul Teruya and Jim Storey, who originally met while launching a specialty cabinetry business — now known as 4-Day Cabinets. In 2008, an opportunity arose to build homes in the new Jefferson Heights Park neighborhood in Chattanooga’s Southside, a project championed by the Lyndhurst Foundation. That’s where the story of GreenTech Homes truly began. From the beginning, every home was designed with thoughtfulness and precision. Paul and Jim would spend countless hours refining floor plans — obsessing over the details to make the most of every square foot and to build with lasting quality. That same commitment still guides our team today. What started as a single infill project has since grown into a citywide movement. GreenTech Homes now builds across some of Chattanooga’s most cherished areas, including St. Elmo, North Chattanooga, Southside, Red Bank, and beyond. Our neighborhoods are walkable, connected, and designed to foster relationships — not just sell homes. At GreenTech, we believe homebuilding is more than floor plans and finishes. It's about crafting spaces where life happens — morning coffee on the porch, impromptu sidewalk chats, backyard barbecues with neighbors who become lifelong friends. To us, “green” means building intentionally: using high-quality materials, integrating modern, energy-conscious technologies, and always thinking about how people will actually live in the space. Every member of our team is passionate about what we do — and it shows. Whether it’s solving the puzzle of a tricky layout, tracking down the perfect detail to match a homeowner’s vision, or simply seeing someone light up as they walk through their finished home, we’re driven by the joy of the people we serve. This isn’t just construction. It’s community-building. And we’re proud to help families across Chattanooga start their next chapter.
