Who Are We?
At EG Home, our passion is simple: Simplifying the journey to living better.
We believe a home should be a place of comfort, efficiency, and joy—and we’re dedicated to making the path to that ideal simple, fun, and rewarding.As a production home builder of Zero Energy Ready Homes, we specialize in creating high-performance homes that are not only beautifully designed, but also healthier to live in, more energy-efficient, and built for the future. Every home we build is crafted with care, precision, and a deep respect for the people who will call it home.

Our Story
EG Home was founded in 2013 by Matt Gilchrist and David Earp, two former U.S. Navy officers who met in 1997 at their first duty station in Panama City, Florida. Matt served as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician and David as a Navy SEAL. Their families formed a close bond early on, supporting each other through deployments and the challenges of military life—a foundation of trust and shared values that continues to shape EG Home today.

What began as a small company closing just nine homes in its first year has grown into Connecticut’s largest privately owned production homebuilder. Today, EG Home is powered by a team of over 40 professionals and is on track to close 80 homes in 2025—each one built to either Zero Energy Ready or fully Zero Energy standards.

Our commitment to building Zero Energy Ready Homes began in 2022, marking a pivotal shift toward high-performance construction. These homes are healthier, more energy-efficient, and built to meet the needs of the future—supporting both personal well-being and environmental sustainability.
We Differentiate Ourselves In Three Key Ways:
1. We are a production homebuilder,
delivering high-quality homes with
consistency and efficiency.
2. Every home is personalized
for our client through
our professional Design Center,
ensuring it reflects their lifestyle and vision.
3. We are fully committed to
building high-performance,
Zero Energy Ready Homes, setting a new
standard for sustainability and comfort.

EG Home is actively expanding across the region with a clear purpose: to make high-quality, energy-efficient homes more attainable for more families—without compromising on design, performance, or integrity.
We take pride in building more than just homes—we build with purpose. Every decision we make is guided by our values, our commitment to excellence, and our belief that great homes should be accessible, sustainable, and personal. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on delivering homes that reflect the lives and aspirations of the families who live in them.
