Pro Tips & Best Practices
-
Plan for Waste: Add 10–15% extra on plywood, drywall, and finish materials to account for cuts and damage.
-
Sequence Deliveries: Schedule framing lumber first, then sheathing, insulation, and finally finish carpentry to avoid on-site clutter.
-
Protect Materials: Store wood and drywall off the ground under cover to prevent moisture damage.
-
Check Codes Early: Consult local building codes for fire-rated assemblies, insulation R-values, and structural requirements.
-
Bundle Accessories: Order fasteners, connectors, and flashing along with primary materials to streamline installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much lumber do I need for a 2,000 ft² home frame?
A rough rule is 6 bf of framing lumber per ft² of floor area, but exact needs vary—our take-off service can generate precise quantities.
2. What R-value insulation is required in our climate?
Philadelphia-area code requires R-49 in ceilings and R-20 in exterior walls; check local amendments for specific projects.
3. Can I substitute ZIP System® panels for traditional house wrap and sheathing?
Yes—ZIP panels integrate structural sheathing and weather barrier in one, reducing labor and tape cost.
4. What’s the lead time on custom millwork and trim orders?
Typically 2–3 weeks; expedited jobs can be accommodated for a rush fee—ask your rep for current timelines.
5. Do you deliver to active job sites?
Absolutely—our white-glove delivery includes curb-to-deck drop-off; forklift or liftgate services available upon request.
