Hi, my name is Ben, founder of Mantle. Back in 2013, I built my own net-zero house near Port Jervis, NY for me and my family, and I’ve been working in sustainable construction ever since with my company Mavrik Windows. After being involved in over 50 projects and building another home for myself, I’ve started a design-build firm to synthesize all of the lessons I’ve learned and resources I’ve developed over the past decade. Focusing on the balance between design, performance and ease of construction, we aim to deliver a higher quality home, more efficient process and better value than has ever been possible before.
