Building Tips

The framing of your home is a very important aspect and involves several different components such as walls, ceiling joists, rafters, cornice, etc. Be sure you insist that your builder constructs your house well above the minimum building code requirements.

As seen in the picture, it is always wiser to use 2”x12” header supports (instead of 2”x6”) above all window and door openings. We use 2” x 12” at Gemini Builders to provide extra structural support and insure a stronger home.
