AIRTIGHT HOUSING
This technique includes sealing all penetrations of windows and doors using foams and caulking materials. This prevents infiltration of moisture vapor to protect the exterior wall system from mold and rot. Additionally, airtight housing reduces heating/cooling loss for efficient energy use.
CELLULOSE INSULATION
This insulation, made from recycled materials, provides heat insulation and sound control throughout your house. Sprayed into wall cavities and flat ceilings, this insulation provides an air-tight barrier. This feature also absorbs bulk moisture that can build up inside your home’s walls. Additionally, the insulation is chemically-treated to be fire-resistant.
EXTERIOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
Designed to prevent moisture problems, we use a multi-layered system with a waterproofing membrane, drainage board, and a foundation drain. This durable system provides superior protection from moisture. Our premier products for waterproofing include BoneDryTM, DeltaTM, andDrainMaxTM.
FIXTURES PROTECTION
Whether it’s your lights, baths, showers, or countertops, we understand that the fixtures you’ve chosen for your home are important to you. When installing these fixtures, we take every precaution to protect these features from any subsequent building work and to ensure that they are spotless when you move in. All wooden coverings are custom-made and fitted for all installed fixtures to ensure that your home looks perfect.
FLOOR SYSTEMS
We meticulously inspect all floor materials to ensure that every piece of wood beneath your feet will be straight. Additionally, we glue and screw all sub-flooring to prevent squeaky floors.
FOAM INSULATION
This technique includes spraying an expanding foam into wall cavities and concrete slabs to create a tight barrier against air infiltration. Foam insulation is also used to seal off decks and roof attics and create a conditioned temperature for attic rooms.
FOOTINGS
Proper footings are critical for your home’s foundation. Implemented in early stages of building, our steel-reinforced footings are inserted below ground level around the home’s planned perimeter. Additionally we paint the top of the footings with a sealant to ensure that moisture will not wick into the wall structures built on top of this foundation.
ZIP WALL SYSTEM
We use this top-of-the-line exterior wall sheathing to increase the structural durability of your home and protect your wall cavities from air/moisture infiltration.

We go above and beyond to ensure that the crawl space is insulated with materials treated with insecticide to protect your home from termites. The benefits of our techniques for crawl spaces include reduced heating/cooling costs and a longer-lasting home.
