Station ONE modular process
- Use of one piece, full length I-Joists, which eliminates splicing over the basement center beam or wall.
- "Squash" blocking (extra framing) between the end rim joist and the first joist every 3'-0" to 4'-0' along both ends of the house.
- Electrical wiring for basement items like lighting, furnace, water heater, etc. is installed before the sub-floor is installed.
- Sub-floor sheathing is ¾" tongue and groove.
- Sub-floor sheathing is installed with overlapping seams.
- The stair well is framed with the use of joist hangers.
- Joists are spaced at 16" o.c., which is closer then required, making our floor systems very strong.
- The sub-floor is glued and screwed to the floor joists.
Station TWO modular process
- One piece engineered and stamped trusses that eliminates any need for interior load bearing walls.
- Every truss is held down to the exterior walls with metal anchor straps.
- Attic ventilation chutes installed between rafters for the proper amount of attic ventilation.
- Vapor barrier over the insulation on all exterior walls.
- Quality double hung windows with grilles. Curtain blocking installed on each side of window.
- Solid headers installed at every exterior window and patio door.
- Insulation at the top of the walls above the top plates.
- Washer box, water and waste lines for a main floor laundry access.
- Flue pipe going from under the floor to roof for gas appliances.
- Roof sheathing nailed to every truss.
- All holes through top & bottom plates will be foam sealed.
- Solid blocking installed for wall door bumbers.
- Inset garages are partially completed with the house then finished on site.
Station THREE modular process
All of the ceilings are stomp textured while the walls are mudded, taped and then painted with eggshell paint. All of the seams, corners and all screw holes are filled with drywall mud and then sanded to an unnoticeable finish when painted.
Drywall is cut to fit perfectly around all return air holes, electrical boxes & plumbing lines. The plastic over the windows will be removed after all the walls are painted to protect them from overspray.
Station FOUR modular process
Once the drywall is painted, we start the finish stage. This stage involves installing all the finish trim work including cabinets, countertops, base boards, doors, window jambs, vinyl flooring, appliances, any marble or ceramic tile, light fixtures, outlet/switch plates, thermostat, doorbell chime, smoke detectors, fireplace assembly, return air grills, and much more. The customer chooses the colors for most of these items.
Bathroom
The customer has chosen a corner jet tub in their master bath for total relaxation. The customers choose the color and style of the tub and tile.
Bedroom
One media outlet is installed in every bedroom. A media outlet consists of two cable modules and one CAT 5 phone module that is capable of handling any media needs such as internet, cable, satellite or dish networks. The customer can add a second phone module if needed. The customers have upgraded to rocker style light switch covers throughout the house. We install heavy duty door bumpers behind most doors to prevent the door knobs punching holes in the drywall.
Walk-in Closet
Our walk-in closets typically have double rod and double shelves on one side and a single rod and double shelves on the opposite side. A set of five adjustable shelves is typically installed on the end wall for extra storage for shoes and sweaters. Notice the standard attic access in the ceiling. The access location will vary in every house depending on the layout of the rooms.
