Building Techniques
Stein Homes only uses the highest quality construction
materials purchased from the most reputable suppliers providing quality
products at affordable prices. Our sub-contractors have been with us for
decades and deliver the quality workmanship we demand.
Customers can count on company owner Chris Stein to work with
them to individually address each and every concern. We do not use building
superintendents or hide behind managers.
Stein Homes foundations are professionally engineered and constructed using the
most current building techniques and are custom designed for the soil
conditions of each homes site. We build only rebar reinforced concrete
foundations to ensure maximum structural integrity (we do not construct
post-tension or cable foundations).
All walls and roofs are hand cut and custom framed at 16
inch intervals. All exterior masonry walls are covered with ½”plywood or ½”OSB
for optimal strength. Framed walls are poly sealed where electrical and
plumbing lines pass through into the attic.
We proudly build homes that are highly energy efficient, which saves our
customers thousands of dollars over the life of their home. We install Trane 16
SEER or better air-conditioning systems with heat pumps which are ideal for keeping our
customers cool during hot Texas summers. Our roofs are decked with
radiant barrier products to reflect the sun’s rays. Our attics have both ridge
and continuous soffit ventilation so that hot air escapes from the attic. We
use high-quality fiberglass ceiling and wall insulation. We wrap all exterior
walls with Tyvec house wrap. We use double paned windows with low E glass and
individually tape and seal each window with Tyvec window construction tape
before they are caulked and sealed.
We offer Vanguard overhead plumbing. All drains in the foundation are tested for leaks
prior to pouring concrete.
Our electrical packages provide state-of-the-art phone systems with panels, Cat
5 wiring for high-speed Internet access, wireless networking and security
systems for your family’s safety.
We install 100% wood custom made cabinetry using numerous materials, options and
features, that truly accentuate our kitchens. Counter tops and
back-splashes are available in granite and other hard surfaces; Ceramic tile installed using custom cut designs is a particular favorite of our customers.
Stein Homes takes great pride in the custom interior finishes that enhance our
homes. Crown molding, fluted casing around doors, wood-cased windows, and a
variety of rosettes and custom mill-work give our homes the unique and
sophisticated styling that truly make a custom home special. Windowsills are
hand crafted from wood to complement the style of your home’s
interior woodwork. Our interior woodwork is custom routered by experienced and talented
craftsmen.
Bathroom showers, tubs and counter tops are available in ceramic tile, marble,
cultured marble, glass block and most hard surfaces. Taking your needs
into account, we combine and customize the use of these materials to deliver
exactly what each homeowner desires. As in the kitchens, mosaic tile work and
custom tile design and cutting are our specialty.
