Our manufacturer, KIT Custom Homebuilders, takes great pride in building high-quality homes that offer superior energy efficiency and utilize cutting-edge building materials. KIT homes are built in a climate-controlled factory environment. This ensures the safety of the home, materials, and the employees working on it. Also, this mitigates damages from the elements and production delays. KIT uses moisture-tested lumber from a single source in each home, which provides consistently reliable building materials. Energy Star certification means that all KIT homes are comfortable to live in and affordable to own. These homes include R-40 roof insulation, R-21 wall insulation, and R-33 floor insulation, as well as sealed and certified ducts and a programmable thermostat. Furthermore, utilizing in-floor duct crossovers maximizes the movement of cool & warm air while also protecting exposed ducts from being disconnected underneath the home.
The sheetrock used in KIT Custom Homebuilders manufactured homes is glued and fastened with nails and screws on both sides of the wall. This process exceeds code requirements and 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. KIT uses 36″ vinyl-clad exterior doors, which provide 20% higher energy efficiency than steel doors. KIT installs only low-E Cascade vinyl windows with larger frames available in three colors and weather-tight cam locks. To ensure the exceptional quality of their homes, KIT enforces a 64-point Quality Assurance Inspection program, making them one of the first home builders in the nation that utilizes this program.
