At San Rufo Homes, we’re committed to more than just constructing homes—we’re dedicated to building a foundation for better living. By exclusively using high-quality materials, we ensure that every home meets exceptional standards of energy efficiency and durability. This commitment is evident in the superior structure of our homes, particularly in our floor systems and stairwell construction.

Our Floor Systems: Engineered for Excellence

Our floors are designed to surpass standard building codes with a 40/15 loading capacity. This means they can handle additional weight from features like granite counters or tile, reducing deflection and preventing those annoying squeaks that can plague lesser-built homes. Here’s a closer look at how we achieve this:

High Loading Capacity

This high loading capacity is particularly beneficial in kitchens and bathrooms where heavy fixtures like granite countertops and tiles are common. By engineering our floors to handle more weight, we prevent issues like deflection (bending) that can compromise the structural integrity and aesthetics of your home.

Vibration Monitoring and Adjustment

We meticulously monitor floor vibrations, especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens with islands. If vibrations reach 75% or higher, we adjust joist spacing or add extra supports under the island. This proactive approach ensures a sturdy, bounce-free floor that enhances the overall comfort and durability of your living space.

Stairwells: Built with Precision and Durability

Stairwells are critical components of a home’s structure, and at San Rufo Homes, we go the extra mile to ensure they are built to last. Here’s how we make our stairwells superior:

Use of LVL Beams

Whenever possible, we frame our stairwells with LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) beams. Unlike traditional joist-to-joist connections, LVL beams provide a stronger and more stable framework. This material choice helps to minimize the risk of floor squeaks and enhances the overall structural integrity.

Secure and Quiet Connections

By using LVL beams for hanger connections, we ensure that nails sink directly into the strong LVL material. This technique provides a more secure and quieter structure, reducing the chances of squeaky stairs and floors. Our attention to detail means you can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable home environment without the nuisance of creaky steps.

Committed to Quality and Comfort

At San Rufo Homes, our dedication to high-quality construction materials and methods is unwavering. We believe that a well-built home is the foundation of a better life, providing you with a space that is not only beautiful and functional but also resilient and sustainable.
