Whereas many new home builders use seven foot high doors to save money, we always install eight foot high doors to make sure any size family vehicle can fit inside the garage.

Our New Home Construction Standards
Smart Homes
Technology is all around us and always evolving, don’t leave your home behind. Always on the cutting edge of technology, we equip all our homes with Smart Technology to make your life a breeze. Ask our sales representative for a list of exciting current tech installations.
2x6 Construction
Whereas most builders use 2×4’s for their outside walls, we use 2×6 studs to create stronger, sturdier walls.
Also, all the walls in our new homes are built 16” on center instead of the typical 24” on center others use to save on lumber and labor costs. This creates a much sturdier wall and makes it easier for you when searching for studs to hang shelves in the future.
