My Trademarks

#1:  All framing lumber is hammer driver by hand with 20d nails (4").  Compare this trademark to other, larger framing crews with air compressors and nail guns only capable of shooting 16d (3.5" nails).  A smaller nail requires additional nails that pass through the lumber without a pilot/drill hole, which splits the lumber immediately, becoming more and more obvious as the years go by and the lumber shrinks.

#2:  Even before going into business on my own, I was trained, and I remain true to that training, to build heavy-duty trusses (laminated 2-ply or 3-ply trusses) glued and nailed together with plywood gussets.  Additionally, these trusses sit on TOP of posts, never hanging on the sides.  These trusses are designed by my engineer and bring a fine "well-built" feel to the building.
 

#3:  Roof purlins are set in purlin hangers rather than resting on top of trusses.  This gives the inside of the building a very clean look, and at least 6" more of overhead of the truss clearance.
 

#4:  To minimize the rotting of the treated posts a system of top and bottom restraints in the form of concrete "collars" is applied, rather than embedding each post in a solid hole of concrete.  This allows water in the posts to escape during seasonal hot and cold expansion and shrinking, and gives the posts less contact with invasive, eroding conditions.  In the case where there is no concrete floor in the building, there are bottom and top collars of concrete applied with gravel or compacted back fill in between.  In the case where there is a concrete floor, there is only a bottom collar applied, then gravel/back fill, as the concrete floor ends up serving as a top restraint for the posts.

These and other trademarks ensure a long-lasting investment

#5)  2x8 PT Baseboard and concrete floor level
 
 

#6)  Top girt framing and overhang fascia are cut sloped  with roof, not left square

#5.  Concrete floors start at the bottom of the 2x8 pressure treated base board rather than ending at the top of a 2x6 base board.  This gives you enough base board above the concrete floor to fasten future inside sheathing to the inside of the wall.  Concrete splatter on the baseboard and posts is scraped up rather than left behind by the builder.
 
 
 
 
 

#6.  Top girts and fascia girts are angled to match the slope of the roof, and provide a full flat surface for the roof sheathing to be fastened and sealed properly.
