Looking for a Sequim contractor or Sequim home builder?  In the early 2000’s, builders were very busy, but starting in 2008, home building came to a screeching halt.  One should be cautious when hiring a builder in these challenging times, because things are not always what they seem.  One of the most important untold stories is the story of how the vast majority, I repeat “vast majority,” of home builders around the country build to look good but not with quality construction beneath the surface.

I call this the most important untold story, because the vast majority of consumers truly don’t know how building shortcuts with material and labor effect the quality and long term comfort of their home. One could write a book on this subject, but consumers probably wouldn’t read it until they had already hired the wrong builder.  For now let’s just touch on one simple issue, and there must be a hundred like this one.

A client recently asked custom home builder Rick Anderson about the risk of sub-flooring getting wet and swelling, which could eventually cause problems with the flooring, like creaking. Rick is building a home for clients from Henderson, Nevada in a beautiful area not far from the Dungeness Spit in Sequim.

The vast majority of contractors will save money wherever they can, including sub-flooring. Rick explained to his client that if it rains on the sub-flooring before the house is closed in, not only does he dry the interior thoroughly with heaters before covering the floors and framing (believe it or not some builders do not thoroughly dry the interior), he also spends the extra money out of his pocket to install sub-flooring that does not swell at the seams even if it does get wet. Ever wonder why your floor squeaks? This is why, but Rick Anderson’s homes do not have squeaky floors. Not even after 10 or 20 years. Again, this is not something consumers know about, and your average builder will never raise it.

What if you could hire a home builder who cared about the quality of your home because of his own integrity?  What if you could hire a Sequim contractor who was bluntly honest with you about the true costs of building your home, and didn’t use cheap materials or take labor short cuts to increase his own profits?  Novel concept.
