All builders must make choices about what products and features to include in the base price of a house. Some focus heavily on construction items. Increasingly, many focus on cosmetic touches more visible to customers.
Finer Homes takes a balanced approach. While very focused on design and amenities, our first commitment is to a well-constructed home that will wear well over the years. We often go beyond what is required or necessary by building code standards, which increases the livability factor for our homeowners. Some things we do include:
- We “glue and screw” down floors, dramatically reducing squeaks!
- We use structural OSB sheathing around the whole house, not just the parts required by code!
- We sheetrock the ENTIRE garage not just the sections required by code!
- We use extremely high quality windows… They are double hung, tilt, double insulated, Low E energy star. This is the same glass you will find in a million dollar home. It protects your furniture and flooring as well and provides greater energy efficiency!
