THE FIRST HEALTHY HOME BUILDERS, RIGHT HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS
Your home should be a place that supports well-being from the inside out. This has been the JS2 Partners ethos since day one. We are the world's first healthy home builders, dedicated to creating spaces free of harmful toxins. Our goal is to design and build spaces with wellness and sustainability top of mind for homeowners throughout Central Texas.
WE PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH:
NON TOXIC HOME CONSTRUCTION
From better building practices to safer material choices, every decision we make as your builder contributes to safer, cleaner, and healthier living for you and your family.
Why do we do it? Jen's home was making her sick years ago. And finding a place to live that didn't have chemicals and mold was not possible. So she set out to create the world's first healthy home.
How do we accomplish this? JS2 co-founders, Jen & Rusty Stout, are the creators of the healthy home building movement. We're literally writing the book on how to build homes using healthy home building construction best practices (no really, we wrote a book about it!)
Our non-toxic homes are free from chemicals like formaldehyde, petroleum solvents and mold. We use nothing that emits harmful EMF frequencies. And our focus is on natural materials and beautiful design, for spaces that are as restful and peaceful as they are rejuvenating and wholesome.

FAQS ABOUT HEALTHY HOME CONSTRUCTION IN CENTRAL TEXAS
What makes a home a “healthy home”?
A healthy home is designed to reduce everyday exposures that can quietly affect how you feel—air quality, humidity, allergens, and the chemical load that comes from common building materials. In practice, that means selecting low-toxicity products, minimizing materials that can off-gas, and detailing the home so fresh air is managed intentionally rather than entering through random leaks. Comfort is part of health, too: a home that maintains steady temperatures and balanced humidity tends to feel better day-to-day and can be easier on people with sensitivities. In Central Texas, “healthy” also includes a moisture and ventilation strategy because heat and humidity can amplify musty odors, allergens, and indoor pollutants. We look at the whole system—air sealing, ventilation, filtration, and HVAC sizing—so airflow is consistent and humidity stays in a healthy range. At JS2 Partners, healthy home construction blends smart building science with non-toxic material selections so your home supports wellness, sleep quality, and long-term comfort.
Why should I choose non toxic home builders over traditional builders?
Non toxic home builders focus on reducing the hidden sources of indoor pollution that many homeowners don’t realize they’re living with—VOCs, formaldehyde, harsh sealants, and finishes that can irritate eyes, skin, and lungs. Traditional building methods often use industry-standard products that are convenient and widely available, but those choices may not prioritize indoor air quality. A non-toxic approach brings that priority forward from the start, so material selections, adhesives, paints, sealants, cabinetry, and flooring are chosen with your health in mind. That’s especially valuable for households with children, allergy or asthma concerns, or anyone who’s sensitive to odors and chemicals. The result isn’t just “safer”—it often feels cleaner, less stuffy, and more comfortable because ventilation and filtration are planned with intention. When you work with a builder who understands non toxic home construction, you’re less likely to make last-minute substitutions that compromise air quality, and more likely to end up with a home that truly aligns with your wellness goals.
Can existing homes be remodeled into healthy homes?
Yes—healthy home principles translate extremely well to remodeling, and you can often make meaningful improvements without changing every surface in the house. Many projects begin by addressing the fundamentals that affect air quality and comfort: air leaks, insulation gaps, ventilation, and humidity control. These upgrades can reduce dust, improve temperature consistency, and help prevent moisture-related issues that contribute to odors or allergens. From there, a remodeling plan can prioritize healthier interior materials and finishes. That might include replacing wall-to-wall carpet with natural or low-emitting flooring, using low-toxicity paints and sealants, upgrading to better filtration, or selecting cabinetry and trim materials designed to reduce formaldehyde exposure. Remodeling with a health focus is also a smart moment to improve efficiency—so you get a home that feels better to live in and performs better over time.
Does healthy home construction cost more?
It depends on the level of customization and the specific materials you choose. Some non-toxic and low-emitting products cost more upfront, but many healthy-home decisions are about smarter specifications and good sequencing rather than “luxury upgrades.” For example, prioritizing air sealing, ventilation planning, and right-sized HVAC can improve comfort and indoor air quality without necessarily adding significant cost—especially when those decisions are made early. Where costs can increase is when you select premium natural materials, specialty finishes, or higher-end mechanical systems. The tradeoff is often long-term value: durability, fewer replacements, better energy performance, and a home environment that supports wellness. We work with you to prioritize the upgrades that matter most—so your budget aligns with your health goals and you avoid spending on features that look “healthy” but don’t move the needle.
What are the benefits of working with custom healthy home builders?
Working with custom healthy home builders gives you control over the details that make the biggest difference for how your home feels—air quality strategy, material selections, and design decisions that support daily wellness. Instead of fitting your lifestyle into a standard set of finishes, you can choose low-toxicity options, allergen-conscious flooring, better filtration and ventilation, and moisture-aware assemblies that match Central Texas conditions. You also have the opportunity to design for comfort in ways that directly affect health, like acoustic control, glare management, and consistent temperatures from room to room. Custom building is also where performance and aesthetics can work together. Want brighter spaces with healthier daylight, but without excess heat gain? Prefer durable, easy-to-clean finishes that don’t rely on harsh chemicals? Need a layout that supports sleep, recovery, or a home office routine? A custom-built healthy home is about aligning design, systems, and materials so the finished space supports both your personal style and your long-term peace of mind.
