 Next,
we would like to provide you with a short list that shows just some of the extra steps
that "Team Pinnacle" takes to insure that your new home meets the highest
standards for construction.
- Special attention is given to the house placement for drainage and grading.
- Basement walls have steel rodded cores for all walls spanning greater than fifteen feet.
- Top quality Hem-fir lumber is used exclusively throughout the framing.
- Framing inspections are done before the walls are closed to replace any structural
members that may have warped or twisted during construction.
- Exterior wall sheathing is corner to corner with full overlap of the band joist for
additional structural strength.
- No framing shortcuts are taken. Backers are used for all handrails, cabinets, pedestal
sinks, shelving, and benches.
- The Tyvek house wrap is not just stapled in place, we also tape the seams for maximum
protection against air outside and water penetration.
- Roof overlays are open framed for proper ventilation in the attic to insure that all
rooms will balance during heating and cooling.
- Drip edge is used on the roof eaves to protect the wood from moisture penetration and
potential rot.
- Shingle vent II with filter core is used to eliminate snow blowing into the attic.
- Ice and water roofing underlayment is used where required.
- Concrete slabs are tool cut. Fiber mesh and asphalt expansion joints are used in the
garage to control cracking.
- During the cold season, the heat is turned on early to assure a controlled acclimation
of the installed materials.
- A humidifier is a included with the heating system to reduce drywall cracks and nail
pops as well as providing a healthier climate for you during the dry winter months.
- Drywall board is not just glued up, the perimeter is sheet nailed and field screwed into
place.
- All openings are foam insulated during construction to virtually eliminate drafts.
- Plumbing mains are oversized 3/4" copper for stable water pressure, with anti-air
hammer installed at all fixtures to eliminate knocking in the water lines.
- Plumbing drains are soundproofed in the interior walls to eliminate noises.
- First rate maintenance free exterior trim materials that do not compromise the
appearance are used wherever possible.
- The subfloor is screwed into place after the house has had a chance to stabilize the
moisture content and all irregular butt joints are flashed before the floor coverings are
laid.
- The entire house is thoroughly cleaned before insulation, before, drywall, before the
trim, before final flooring, and then it is given a complete final professional cleaning
to assure a dust free house when you move in.
