How will my new home be constructed?
Feature: 2x10 floor joists-graded lumber, built 16" on center.
Benefit: Strong floor - 16" on center aligns floor joints and wall studs for increased strength. Graded lumber has lower moisture content and fewer knots. Lower moisture helps eliminate warping and fewer knots means stronger lumber.
Feature: 2x10's around each half of floor. (4) 2x10 at the center line.
Benefit: Greater strength and stability, which is important when installed over a basement or crawl space.
Feature: Sewer drains, water lines, and insulated heat ducts installed in the floor
Benefit: Insulated ducts are whisper quiet with no heat loss. Eliminates the cost of installing drains, water lines, and duct systems.
Feature: 3/4" tongue and groove floor

Feature: Energy Star, 90% High Efficiency Furnace with water heater (Both installed)
Benefit: High efficiency furnace lowers heating costs and eliminates the furnace door grill. There is no cost to install a heating system or water heater & this speed completion time.
Feature: 2x6 sidewalls w/ R-19 Insulation
Benefit: 2x6 walls are stronger and have more depth than a 2x4 wall and allow increased insulation. (R-19 instead of R-11)
Feature: All exterior walls wrapped in O.S.B. sheathing and weather wrap.
Benefit: O.S.B. increases the structural strength of the home and weather wrap helps eliminate air infiltration.
Feature: 2x4 marriage wall & interior walls are built 16" on center (Exception is the Grandville-which has 2x4 studs, on 24" centers. The marriage wall has 2x4's built 16" on center.)
Benefit: Superior to 2x3 studs because 2x4 studs add an extra inch of support.
Feature: 3 studs over all doors and widows. Note: The extra studs at side of window.
Benefit: Creates and very strong support header and an extra strong window opening.
Feature: Triple laminated LVL beams over all patio doors and large window openings.
Benefit: LVL beams are 2.5 times stronger than regular lumber. This creates a superior frame for patio door and larger openings.
Exciting Exteriors and Exceptional Curb Appeal
Feature: Thermo pane, vinyl, tilt in windows.
Benefit: Energy efficient, easy to clean. Uses 11/16" insulated glass & constructed w/ virgin PVC vinyl. Fusion welded frame and sash corners add strength and durability
Feature: Laminated LVL beams at ceiling spans.
Benefit: Laminated LVL beams are 2.5 times stronger than conventional lumber
and insures great stability at all spans.
Feature: Return air system in the attic.
Benefit: Creates a very even temperature and disbursement of air throughout the home.
Feature: Heavy duty 2x4 truss rafters with blown roof insulation.
Benefit: Extremely strong rafter system that allows for a 5/12 or 7/12 roof pitch. Blown insulation eliminates gaps in the roof insulation and lowers energy costs.
Feature: Baffles in the roof cavity
Benefit: Creates a steady flow of air in the roof cavity, which keeps the roof cool. This helps eliminate ice build up in the winter and cools the roof cavity in the summer.
Feature: O.S.B. roof decking
Benefit: Very strong and durable decking and a solid foundation for a quality roof system.
Feature: Ice and water shield installed over ply dry roof sheathing.
Benefit: Helps eliminate any water entering the roof cavity and is effective against any potential ice build up.
Feature: 30 year dimensional shingles with full length ridge vent.
Benefit: Shingles are very high quality with an elegant appearance and give years of dependable service. The full length ridge vent gives superior air flow throughout the attic. Many other manufacturers use unsightly round vents or partial length ridge vents.
Feature: Wider Floors
Benefit: Wider Floors increase the square footage of your home. This expands the living area and raises your appraised value.
