Construction FeaturesEnergy efficiency is becoming one of the most important considerations in building a new home, given the rapid rise in energy costs.
Some of the things we do to achieve this are: Attic ventilation. Provide ridge vent and perforated vinyl soffit panels in the roof overhangs. Done properly this decreases heat build up in attic spaces in the summer and moisture build up in the winter. Cellulose insulation is used for high efficiency. Air sealing prevents infiltration of cold air in winter and hot humid air in the summer. Air sealing is accomplished by caulking plates to the subfloor and spraying expanding foam into all wire and pipe penetrations in wall plates. Taping of window flanges with Protecto Wrap to prevent infiltration of air and moisture around window openings.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE EXTERIORRoof overhangs will be covered with vinyl clad aluminum and vinyl soffit panels Gutters and down spouts, aluminum metal with baked on paint finish. Gutter guards can be provided to prevent debris from collecting in and clogging gutters and down spouts.
