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.
Duct work 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 hard board 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.
