Kent Hicks came to Western Massachusetts from the Oklahoma Panhandle in 1980 to study with acclaimed British furniture-maker, David Powell. After mastering the art of fine furniture making, Kent began building and renovating residential and commercial properties with the same commitment to craftsmanship. Today, his portfolio includes hundreds of beautiful, energy efficient new and renovated homes, as well as authentic historic restorations.
His commitment to mitigating climate change and passion to learn the best practices in building science have made Kent an innovative leader in the construction of high performance buildings. From the Energy Crafted houses of the 1990’s to today’s Deep Energy Retrofits and Zero Net Energy buildings, Kent has garnered decades of technical expertise and a thorough understanding of emerging challenges, such as moisture management, air barriers, air quality, and material toxicity. Now Kent’s search for the most responsible way to build has led him to Passivhaus design, a standard that combines rigorous energy efficiency specifications with comfort and precision engineering quality.
