We construct our homes with over-sized concrete footings to provide superior strength, stability, and long-term durability. For all single story homes we install 22”x8” footings, rather than the more common 16”x6” footings used by many builders. For two story homes, we go even further by using 24”x10” footings, which far exceed standard building code requirements. These larger Footings distribute structural loads more effectively, reduce the risk of settling over time, and provide a stronger foundation designed to last for generations.
ICF/Insulated Foundations
ICF foundations are often preferred over traditional concrete or block foundations because they offer better insulation, strength, and overall performance. They provide higher energy efficiency, improved durability against weather and soil pressures, better moisture and air control, and superior soundproofing. ICF foundations also create more stable and comfortable indoor temperatures, while also being stronger than traditional concrete foundations due to the increased amount of rebar present in the walls, and optimal concrete curing conditions.
Upgraded insulation
We exceed industry standards by providing R-23 insulation for above-grade walls and foundations, and R-50 insulation for attics—surpassing the typical R-19 exterior walls, R-10 foundation walls, and R-38 attic insulation. This enhanced level of insulation prioritizes your home’s comfort while improving energy efficiency. By investing in superior insulation, we help create a more comfortable living environment and reduce long-term heating and cooling costs.
Higher Sound Resistance
As part of our commitment to higher standards, we construct all exterior walls to reduce up to 90% more outside noise compared to a typical stud wall. We also install STC-rated windows that block up to 40% more noise than standard windows. Additionally, sound-resistant walls are strategically placed in key areas of the home, such as laundry rooms and entertainment spaces. Together, these features create a more peaceful home environment, enhancing both your privacy and overall comfort.
Higher Attention to detail
Every detail matters—big or small. At Corbs Construction, we approach each project with intentional planning, refined craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality control. This meticulous attention ensures exceptional functionality, enduring longevity, and timeless aesthetic appeal. The result is a thoughtfully curated, seamlessly executed space—expertly crafted for your family to enjoy for years to come.
Focus on Energy Inspected
Every home we build is designed with energy efficiency at its core. Through advanced testing for thermal heat loss, duct leakage, and air tightness, we ensure a home that delivers superior comfort, fewer drafts, and cleaner indoor air. These precision measures don’t just enhance how your home feels—they help seal in comfort and reduce wasted energy, leading to lower monthly utility bills. In fact, our energy-efficient certified homes are roughly 30% more efficient than homes built to minimum code standards, giving you long-term savings, comfort, and peace of mind from day one.
Quality Selections
Selecting materials and finishes for your home is an essential part of the building process. We provide both an in-house selections showroom and the option to present your own ideas to our skilled designers. Our curated in-house selections book features items chosen for their quality and performance, ensuring your home is built to last and designed to impress.
Floor Trusses vs i-Joists
Floor trusses offer a superior solution to typical I-joists due to their strength, flexibility, and long-term performance. Engineered with an open-web design, they allow for longer spans with minimal deflection, resulting in flatter, quieter floors and a more solid feel underfoot. Their open-web design allows for seamless integration of mechanical systems without compromising structural integrity, or sacrificing ceiling height. In addition, top-chord bearing floor trusses allow for lower entry heights into the home while maintaining structural efficiency—enhancing accessibility and overall design flexibility. Together, these advantages create a stronger, more refined, and well-built home.
In-house design and planning
At Corbs Construction, your search for architectural design, interior design, or selections planning ends here. We provide everything in-house, making the building process smoother, less stressful, and fully integrated. From designing your home to offering a wide range of options in our selections showroom, we’ll also help bring your own ideas to life. With our guidance every step of the way, you’ll always know exactly what to expect and feel confident in the choices that will perfectly suit your home.
