A native of San Antonio, Elton Chessman has deep ties to the community. After studying engineering in College, he became a partner in a construction company that integrated ‘green building guidance’ while providing a full range of services for the custom home building and remodeling industry. A Master Carpenter, Elton has hands-on knowledge of how important every stage of construction is.

“My experience in the home building/remodeling industry for more than 20 years gives me unique insight into potential building failures, successes and green building practices that can assist project teams to build high-performance and sustainable homes,” says Elton.

Elton is a RESNET certified green rater, a LEED for Homes certified green rater and a LEED for Homes QAD. He has been the LEED QAD for over 750 LEED for Homes certified projects and was the LEED for Homes Green Rater on more than 50 projects. He has completed more than 600 Energy Star residential verifications.

In addition, Elton performs City of San Antonio code compliance home testing services/inspections. If that weren’t enough, he also wears the hat of Contects’ San Antonio office manager.

Married for over 25 years, Elton married his high school sweetheart and they have three wonderful children and one grandson, all of whom live in San Antonio or the surrounding areas. He and his family love outdoor recreation, including fishing, hunting and boating.
