Construction

Quality construction is the heart of our business

We at KIT Custom Homebuilders take great pride in building high-quality homes that offer superior energy efficiency and utilize cutting-edge building materials and processes. Our homes are constructed in a climate controlled factory environment, which ensures the protection of the home, the materials, and our employees from the elements and production delays. We use moisture tested lumber from a single source in every home, providing consistently reliable building materials. ENERGY STAR certification means our manufactured homes are comfortable to live in and affordable to own. This includes R40 roof insulation, R21 wall insulation, and R33 floor insulation, as well as sealed and certified ducts and a programmable thermostat. In-floor duct crossovers maximize the movement of cool and warm air while protecting exposed ducts from being disconnected underneath the home.

The sheetrock in our homes is glued and fastened with nails and screws on both sides of the wall—a process that exceeds code requirements but provides for a robust and lasting connection to the walls. Hardboard luan under the sheetrock, around window corners, and above interior doors provides added strength and stability. We use 36” vinyl-clad exterior doors, which provide 20% higher energy efficiency than steel doors. We install only low-E Cascade vinyl windows, with larger frames available in three colors, and weather-tight cam locks. To ensure the exceptional quality of our homes, we enforce a 64-point Quality Assurance inspection program—we are proud to say that our company is one of the first home builders in the nation utilizing this program. We invite you to contact your local KIT Custom Homebuilders authorized retailer and schedule your factory tour to learn more about our construction process.
