How These Homes are Built 30% Above Code
From frame to finish Stafford homes are built with longevity and safety in mind. High-efficiency building techniques and appliances mean Stafford homes are also 100% Energy Star Certified saving you up to 30% on your energy bills. Save money and prevent the creation of more than 5500 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
Stafford homes are framed with third-party test kiln-dried lumber certified to have no more than 12-14% moisture content. Moisture is kept out with the use of high-quality waterproof barriers to prevent rain and water rot.
Breath Easy
Ductwork is strategically placed to provide high-efficiency filtration and heating. Breathe easy thanks to Merv-13 air filters which are 35-50% more efficient at filtering than code filters. Drafts are avoided with the use of hardboard insulation sealed around windows to keep air in.
The use of PEX piping and high-efficiency heat pumps saves energy and promotes healthier water usage. Additionally appliances and lighting in homes are chosen to maximize energy conservation. All Stafford-built homes are also solar-ready to save even more.
Finally, all homes are third-party-inspected for unbiased quality assurance. It isn’t easy to build 30% above code but Stafford knows the importance of feeling safe and comfortable at home.
