Ronn Jansen has been president of Live Green, Live Smart Builders since 2008. He has over 25 years of construction experience building residential homes as well as retail and tenant build-out projects. Ronn is passionate about eco-construction. "It's amazing what they're doing these days with green construction, and there are incredible new products on the market every day." However, he warns that some 'green' products don't hold up well in Minnesota's climate of dramatic temperature changes. "I've gotten really excited a couple times, only to find out a product just doesn't stand up as well as promised. As part of our customer committment, our team researches new products carefully before we recommend them."
