The Keystone Difference | Key Advantages
20 Year Limited Warranty
A 20-year warranty against structural defects in material or workmanship which significantly affect the load bearing portions of your home.
Pre-Construction Meeting
Homebuyers meet with Keystone’s Builder prior to the start of building their new home.
Customer Orientation
Your Customer Relations Manager will conduct an orientation to familiarize you with the home’s features.
Stage 1
You will meet with your Builder when framing and mechanical rough-ins are complete as a quality control measure.
Foundation Drainage System
Drain pipe/system installed to allow any water along the foundation to flow to the sump hole or a daylight drain. This reduces the possibility of water infiltration into your basement.
Notching the Studs
Recesses the tub or shower into the studs allowing the wallboard to extend straight down from the stud.
Corner Framing/ Nailing Stud Blocks
Blocks are placed in corners to provide more area for nailing/ screwing wallboard thus reducing cracks in finished walls.
Jack Studs
Provide more support for headers resulting in squarely installed and better operational doors.
The "H" Clip
Used to reinforce OSB roof sheathing between the trusses to eliminate waves in the finished roof.
Wrap Runner & Gable Bracing
Ties the trusses together so they work as a family.
Glued and Screwed Walls
Drywall is glued and screwed to reduce possibility of nail pops. Ceiling fasteners are kept at least 12” away from intersecting walls preventing cracks and keeping truss lift to a minimum. Flextape is also used in angles of more than 90 degrees holding the angle better than mesh or paper tape.
3 Door Hinges
Three, rather than two door hinges, reduce warping possibility of doors and allow better operation and closing.
Foam Insulation
Foam is installed around all openings such as pipes and wires. It hardens and prevents air infiltration resulting in lower utility costs.
Level Curing Temperature
Installed furnace, (verses temporary heat source), allows a steady 68 degree temperature which reduces bulging and shrinking in the drywall joints to reduce cracks in corners.
25 Year Roof
Our shingles carry a 25 year Warranty.

Engineered Floor Joist System
For a stronger and more level floor than standard 2 x 10 construction.
