StoneCrest Team
Max is passionate about advancing CIRS and CIRS Building Science™ education throughout the building industry, helping remediation, HVAC, insulation, general contracting, building, and architectural professionals better understand the unique environmental needs of CIRS patients and apply healthier building science practices in remodeling and new construction.
About
We Understand the Realities of Living with CIRS and Autoimmune Illness. This understanding comes not only from helping clients, but also from navigating many of the same challenges ourselves. We approach every client with empathy, clarity, and appreciation for the complex journey toward improved health and a healthier living environment.
StoneCrest Team is intentionally selective about the projects we take on and the clients we serve. When buildings impact health, details matter. That is why we remain boutique in size, so relationships, integrity, and individualized guidance always come first.
Every home, family, and health journey is unique. We focus on being fully present where we are needed most.
