We spend more time in our homes than we do any other single place.

While many people are very willing to spend thousands more on a vehicle that delivers greater comfort, these same people rarely consider how the same concept could apply to their home. When the most common feedback we hear from our clients is how comfortable the home is; then this is something to consider.

Many homeowners complain of rooms too hot or too cold, too dry or too damp, too loud or too dark. Most of us have had the miserable experience of dry air, itchy skin, and static in the winter months; and damp, musty, clammy, or stagnant rooms the rest of the year. And nearly everyone has experienced unpleasant drafts near exterior walls. For these reasons, we sometimes avoid using portions of our homes for entertaining, storage, relaxing, etc.

Many homeowners are not aware that all of these frustrations (and more) are caused by poor building materials, techniques, and integration. R-Value Homes has a solution to these age old problems with a modern twist on an ancient material: Insulating Concrete Forms. ICF’s are the cornerstone of an entire building system designed for comfort. Our thoughtful combination of materials, techniques, and technologies delivers comfort in three main ways:

A comfortable home is a useful home. When every room in the home is equally comfortable, then all of the home can be used. The basement is no longer suitable only for storage and mechanicals; it is great for bedrooms, a family room, a home theatre, a workout room, a gun vault, and more. When we remove the annoyance of a cold room every time the wind blows, or a stifling hot room on a sunny day; your home feels larger. Your children can do their homework in any room without putting on a sweatshirt!

While comfort may be difficult to define, it is easy to enjoy; as our happy clients testify.
