2x6 Construction
Most builders use 2×4 studs for their exterior walls, but at Stepping Stone Homes, we go a step further with 2×6 studs for stronger, more durable construction.
In addition, our walls are built 16 inches on center, compared to the typical 24 inches used by others to cut costs. This approach not only enhances the structural integrity of your home but also makes finding studs for hanging shelves and décor much easier.
Flooring
- Solid Core Interior Doors: Unlike hollow core doors, our solid core doors provide added sturdiness and help reduce sound transfer between rooms.
- 3/4″ Standard Subfloors: Our homes feature 3/4″ subfloors for a stronger, more stable foundation that minimizes squeaks and enhances longevity.
- Wider Baseboards and Casings: We use wider baseboards and casings than most builders, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to every room.
