Pro-Build (formerly Hoida Lumber) is our supplier of framing lumber, interior trim and doors, windows and exterior doors. They have been our supplier since 1995.
Before any materials are delivered to our home building sites, more importantly it starts with their drafting department. ProBuild’s design team draft’s the plans for us and does an excellent job. They are professionals, always up to date on all new building codes from the local municipalities to the State of Wisconsin. Their plans are very detailed so that any subcontractor will know what is going where. Their attention to detail assures our customers they also can have the confidence of knowing what they are getting. We know the professionalism of ProBuild’s drafting department assures us any Building Inspector knows our homes are constructed to meet all codes as well.
Our standards..... are above what most competitors don’t do.
- ¾” Black Edge oriented stran board. More dense and stronger, less warpage and swelling, contains weep holes for better drainage (if it rains or snows during construction, any water will drain into the basement) and less need to sand floors. We do sand our floors after the home is plastered. It helps remove any plaster chunks and any uneven areas through out the floors. We also vacuum the entire home as to keep it clean for the painter.
- Sheetrock the garage wall common with house with 7/16” oriented stran board. This makes for a stronger and warmer wall.
- Cathedral ceilings incorporating decorative plant ledges. Plant ledges are finished with wood versus just plastering.
- Windows have ¾” solid wood jambs either oak or maple. Competitors may just plaster return or use particle board wrapped jambs.
- Our porches have vinyl or metal porch posts (standard is usually 3).
- Select Maple interior doors (less splices, better quality and better stain color match).
- Trim inside all closets
- Exterior door off laundry room.
- Thurma Tru quality doors used on all exterior doors.
- ½” Oriented stran board roof sheeting (some competitors use 7/16” or 15/32”).
- Ice water shield on roofs (prevents leaking where ice may build up)
- 2”x6” bearing wall in basement when possible
- LVL header above 16’ overhead garage door. This prevents sagging
- Schlage Life Time Warranty locksets
