This is a demonstration showing the application of a 3,600ºF torch flame to one inch of our foam insulation.
This foam is Class 1 Fire Rated, unlike EPS (polystyrene) foam, and when it chars over you see it protects itself.

Keith Schieltz
Hey, I'm Keith
I bring more than 30 years of experience as a licensed Master Electrician, along with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management. I am also a licensed Michigan Residential Builder, Electrical Contractor. At home, I'm a and proud husband and father.
My passion is building homes that are stronger, more energy-efficient, and designed to perform well for years to come. I believe in building for tomorrow, not simply building as cheaply as possible today.
I help clients understand their options when considering a custom home or new construction, including the choices that affect durability, comfort, energy efficiency, maintenance, and long-term value. My goal is to give every client the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions before construction begins.

Truly Green
Our walls use one of the most advanced closed-cell polyurethane foams on the market, a highly efficient insulating and structural core that offers nearly double the R-value of standard expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.
The foam is made from a poly-alcohol base derived from post-process sugar beets, includes post-consumer recycled content, is Class 1 fire retardant, and never melts. It carries a global warming potential (GWP) of less than one, with no ozone-depleting potential, no styrene, no formaldehyde, no VOCs, and none of the brominated flame retardants common in standard EPS foams.
In 2019, this foam passed the California Department of Public Health's strictest indoor air quality standard CDPH Standard 01350 v1.2 the same benchmark used to certify materials for school classrooms, private offices, and single-family homes.

panel, sealing out drafts, moisture, and weak points before they start.
Why We Build Better
Smarter Energy
Starts at the
Electrical Panel
Most new construction is built to the minimum code standard. At Darling Homes by GoodFind LLC, we build to protect what actually matters to you, your family, your comfort, and the life you're planning to live in this home for years to come.
The two things that worry homeowners most are rising utility costs and Michigan's extreme weather. We address both from the ground up, starting with the building envelope covered above, and continuing all the way to the electrical panel itself.
A future-ready home needs an electrical system designed for the way families actually live today, and for the technology they'll add tomorrow. That's why we give clients the option to explore the SPAN Smart Electrical Panel during the planning process. SPAN replaces a traditional electrical panel with intelligent energy controls, letting homeowners monitor and manage their home's electricity circuit by circuit, right from the
SPAN Home app.
Know Where Your Energy Goes
See how much energy individual areas and appliances are using,
and make informed adjustments right from your phone.
Prepare for Tomorrow's Technology
Plan ahead for an EV charger, heat pump, induction range, solar power, or battery storage. On qualifying homes, SPAN's intelligent load management can help you avoid or reduce the need for an expensive electrical service upgrade down the road.
Smarter Backup Power
Paired with a compatible home battery system, SPAN lets homeowners prioritize essential circuits during an outage, manage backup power in real time, and see an estimate of how long remaining battery power will last.
Every home and every electrical service is different. Ask Keith, and he'll help you understand whether SPAN fits your home, your lifestyle, your energy goals, and your construction budget.
Things to Consider Before You Build
Building a home is about more than choosing a floor plan. The right decisions today will impact your comfort, protection, and long-term investment for years to come.
Basement or a Crawlspace / Slab
Foundation choices
Family Protection
Advanced building methods provide greater resistance to extreme weather, improved energy performance, and a healthier, quieter living environment.
Land location / Utilities
Before we build, we evaluate
the property, utilities, and site conditions to help avoid surprises and make smarter decisions.
What Happens Next?
Building a Better Home does not have to feel overwhelming. We guide you through
each step so you can move forward with confidence.
1. We Talk Through Your Ideas
What you are looking for, but better.
We will work with your vision and provide you with a Darling Fortress.
2. We Identify the Right Questions
Utilities, zoning, budget, timing, financing, land condition, and long-term goals all matter.
3. You Decide What Makes Sense
You don't need to jump in and agree
to buy "a package", we provide a pre-construction contract where we work together to establish local regulations, utilities, etc. so you have all the
information and correct pricing.
The goal is clarity first, not pressure.
Example Floor Plan
Flexible layouts designed around real life.
Our modest-sized homes are designed with flexibility in mind. Because there are no interior load bearing walls, you have the freedom to adjust the layout to better fit your lifestyle,
needs, and future plans.
Bring us a blueprint, share your vision, or let us help you explore what is possible with a
home built to Darling Home's standards.
Meet with Keith to discuss your land, ideas, budget, and possibilities—without pressure
and with the education you need to make the right decision.
Thinking About Building, But Not Sure Where to Start?
You do not need to have the whole plan figured out. Share a little about what you are considering,
and we can help you talk through the right next questions.
Hank’s here to help you dig into the details before you build.
Hank’s Builder Tip
Ask what is being built
behind the walls, not only what you can see when the home is finished.
