How do you "Tie-Down" a residential home?.

Building homes that last, start with the #SimpsonStrongTie products to "tie-down" your home.

We use #Simpson joist hangers, hurricane straps and truss connectors +++.

All the extra precautions, done inside the walls of your home, make it a home that will withstand all the harsh weather from all seasons in New England, and especially important if you are on the waterfront.

All Solar Panels are not created equal.

We use #Winaico panels because they have a 25 year linear performance guarantee. By the time the solar investment is paid for, the panels are still operating efficiently.  Here is a photo of how the panels attach to an asphalt roof.

Green Insulation?

Green Insulation?  We use #Roxul AFB in all of our interior walls.  This insulation is made from rocks!  It's fire resistant, soundproof, and doesn't let mildew or fungi grow in your walls.  Makes your home sound and feel solid.

We use @StegoIndustries 15mL wrap/tape an under-slab vapor barrier, which provides long term moisture protection.This super strong tape that sticks to almost any surface wet or dry. We use Stego tape to cover our rough ducts and as stake flags, which stay on forever. Our homes start with a very dry environment thus making very healthy houses for our customers.

Farming in Connecticut?  Yes, we have farmers and plenty of farming going on here, much to the surprise of most.  There are lots of horse farms in CT.  This is the view from our office, taken last week!

Aside from their durability and energy efficiency #integritywindow has a timeless look with architectural versatility and stunning looks in transitional homes or the "New England Modern"
