As all-around ecologically
minded people, Stan and Suzanne
Gorlitsky knew that when they built
their forever home they would want
it to be environmentally sound and
immersed in nature.
For the couple, life at their
former four-story Isle of Palms home meant hefty energy
bills each month, often hovering around $600 during the
stifling summers.
“We’ve always been interested in building green, but
we’ve never been able to find
anybody around here that was
really doing it,” said Suzanne.
“I’d read a couple of articles about Amerisips, but I thought
they were only building around the Johns Island area. When
we went out to see their model home, we found out they’re
actually doing custom homes all over.”
After their realtor pointed out that owner Steve Bostic,
his wife, Tina, and the rest of Amerisips team were building
truly top-end, ecological homes, the Gorlitskys knew they
wanted to explore the option further. Upon being “more than
impressed” by other Amerisips homes, the couple decided to
move forward with the company.
“When I met Steve, we had so much in common,” elabo-
rated Stan. “What he’s doing is such a great new approach,
and we’re so excited to be a part of it. It’s that high quality,
custom build we love: Whatever my wife wants, they try to
figure out how to do it without spending us to death. It’s
been a really great experience.”
The Gorlitskys were also drawn to Amerisips’ unique ap-
proach, one Steve sums up as “a totally integrated one-stop-
shop for home design, interior design, manufacturing and
construction” of high-performance homes.
