Computer automation
calculates every wall dimension, ensuring each cut will be precise.
The walls are built in sections, then covered on one side with gypsum
board. All wall studs are 16" on center; the exterior walls are 2 x 6
construction, interior walls are crafted with 2 x 4 studs. The
marriage wall (where the home is joined together in the center) is a
double wall consisting of 2 x 4 studs, leaving you with a sturdy 8"
center line wall.

Because Jacobsen
has been building custom homes for over 40 years, we have always had
our own in-house cabinet shop. When changes are made to a kitchen or
bath, we have the capability to easily change cabinet layouts to
adapt. Countertops are available in a wide variety of colors.

Between each rigid
exterior wall stud a layer of R-19 fiberglass insulation is packed in
for maximum energy efficiency. All wall insulation has a paper backing
which lays against the interior side of the wall. This method prevents
moisture from forming in-between the walls.

Next, we wrap the
entire perimeter of the home with an exposure 1, 3/8" structural
sheathing. Not only does this method add strength to the home, it
prevents air filtration, adds protection from windblown debris,
provides additional "R"-value to the walls and helps to prevent
moisture from penetrating the walls.

In the roof cavity
we spray a thick cushion of R-30 premium cellulose insulation; this
helps in lowering your monthly electric bill. Before the rafters are
covered with oriented strand board roof sheathing, a whole-house
ventilation system is installed and quality control checks are made on
the roof cavity. |
