Brock Wood Frame Home

The surge of innovative new materials to the home building market may have you wondering whether a wood frame is the best choice for your new custom built home. The experts agree, wood frames win.

Natural and engineered wood products provide unmatched structural strength and safety. Even after its long reign at the top, wood is still considered the primary choice for residential and even commercial building structures.

Here are some of the top benefits to using a wood frame for your new home build:

Wood is Affordable

Wood is one of the most affordable and available choices for your home’s frame. While lower-priced prefabricated wood products are growing in popularity, framing wood is available in a wide range of types and price points.

Wood is Available

Wood and wood based products are in great supply and easy to find.

Wood is Adjustable

Wood products can also be easily cut down to meet a job’s specifications, while other materials may be more difficult to alter.

Wood is Strong

Innovations in wood products and in the way that wood is used in framing a structure mean greater strength than ever. Wood framed houses have even been shown to survive hurricane winds and earthquakes.

The facts are in; wood materials make great home frames, but be sure to consult an experienced home builder to help select the best products for your new home.

We at Brock Builders have the experience and expertise to help you select the best products for your home build.

Quality is in the Decorative Trim Details.

Wood Trim Details in Custom Home Under Construction

Custom molding and trim speak volumes about craftsmanship. Truly esteemed and experienced custom home builders can add style and value to your home by carefully incorporating customized trims, such as crown molding, window trim, columns, coffered ceilings, mosaic tile designs and more. These are just a few thoughtful details that will transform your house into a truly special and unique home.

Interior trim details start at the bottom with the shoe molding and literally work their way up to the ceiling’s crowning glory.

Shoe Molding

Shoe moldings are a beautiful addition to baseboards that can create a smooth and useful transition from floor to wall. They can even help draw attention to a room’s decorative flooring such as hardwoods or custom tile.

Window Trim

A literal picture frame for outdoor views, window trims perfectly frame your view, adding intrigue to what’s outside.

Panel Molding

Decorative panel molding expertly frames shelving, artwork or open space to add dimension to any wall. A library or media room can even be trimmed in decorative paneling to support plasma or large screen televisions and media equipment, while adding a luxurious richness to the room.

Crown Molding

Crown molding finishes off a well designed interior, adding grace and classic architectural style to an interior room. Like shoe molding, baseboard trim, and window trim, crown molding can and should be consistent throughout your home. It is a simple, but effective way to add understated elegance.

Good interior design does not stop at the crown. Many classic homes also feature accents on the ceilings of rooms of all sizes for an extra pop of color, texture, or to draw attention to special lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers and pendant lights. Cove or coffered ceilings and light medallions add something a little extra to a home’s interior design.

Decorative wood trims are an easy way to update your existing home or add value to a new construction. Floor to ceiling, your home’s style should be reflected by every trim detail, no matter how small. A house well-outfitted with a few simple trim accents will certainly deliver that wow-factor that will stand the test of time and trends.
