Royal Form-A-Drain Drainage Tile
Drainage tile used along the interior and exterior of the footings for your concrete foundation. This system ensures the continuous flow to the sump pump of any groundwater that is present around the foundation, thus preventing the water from making its way into the basement.
LP I-Joist Floor Systems
These floor systems provide for continuous spans and are stronger, stiffer, and straighter than dimensional lumber. In addition, I-Joists resist bowing, twisting, and shrinking, thus reducing the possibility of floor squeaks. To accompany the squeak-reduction of the I-Joist installation, K&V Homes follows a three-step subfloor adhesion process: industrial-grade glue, ring-shank nails, screws upon weatherproofing of the house. I-Joists are also accompanied by a 50-year limited warranty.
Weyerhaeuser Ilevel Edge Gold Panels
These panels prove their performance by providing a 50-year limited warranty. The proprietary wood-resin combination can extend your building season by standing up to harsh weather and providing superior resistance to edge swell. A 90-day ‘no sand’ guarantee is also provided.
LP OSB Shell
7/16” Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is applied to the exterior walls of your new home. This not only increases the structural integrity of the wall, but also provides a more uniform substrate for the siding to be fastened to.
DuPont Tyvek
This product is applied to the exterior shell of your home. Providing a weather-resistant barrier combats the infiltration of water, moisture, and air. The properties of DuPont Tyvek do not support the growth of mold or mildew.

CertainTeed Landmark Shingles
CertainTeed Architectural style shingles are used as the primary roofing material. Composed of asphalt, the CertainTeed Landmark Shingles come with a 30-year transferable warranty. A venting analysis will determine the maximum amount of circulation in your attic space, reducing the amount of hot air that can be trapped in your attic during the warmer months of the year.
Ridge Vent Roof Ventilation
Keep the lining of your roof looking professional and allow for 100 percent air circulation at the peak of your roof. Oversize seamless gutters and downspouts ensure the dispersion of water off of your roof and away from your foundation.
Cocoon Spray Cellulose Insulation
One of the most integral parts of a K&V home, Cocoon Spray Cellulose Insulation is made up of 80 percent recycled materials, and the insulation is manufactured with a permanent flame resistance. Cocoon Spray Cellulose Insulation actually increases a wall’s fire resistance by 22-55 percent. A structure insulated with cellulose insulation will burn slower, which could provide the time it takes to escape a fire. In addition to the non-combustible designation, cellulose insulation is manufactured with an anti-mold, antifungal agent. Cocoon Spray Cellulose Insulation has a Noise Reduction Coefficient of 0.90 which means that 90 percent of sound energy is absorbed, providing you with a home to relax in. The Cocoon Spray Cellulose Insulation is sprayed into the walls filling the entire stud cavity. In addition to the wall spray, additional steps are taken to seal your home, decreasing air penetration. Cocoon Spray Cellulose Insulation has proven higher R-values when compared with alternative methods of insulation, thus resulting in decreased energy bills.
Insulated Corner Studs and Wall Receivers
The use of a California corner and single 2 x 6 wall receivers helps to insulate the corners and wall intersections along the perimeter walls of the home.
Level 5 Finish
This finish is applied to the sheetrock prior to the wall texture. This step in the sheetrock process combines joint compound with paint primer to provide an 1/8” layer of finish on the wall. This layer reduces the visibility of the drywall seams as well as preparing for a more uniform paint application.
Sherwin WIlliams Paint and Stain Products
Sherwin Williams products are used on the interior and exterior of your home. With continuous breakthroughs in coatings technology and color options, Sherwin Williams is a leader in their industry. Sherwin Williams also offers an on-staff colorist to help with your color selections.
Pella Windows & Exterior Doors
Pella provides you with an investment that will pay off in lower energy bills, less fading of furniture and floor coverings, as well as the overall enjoyment of your home. They are designed with a variety of options and glass technologies that either meet or exceed Energy Star ratings. The U-factor measures a window’s ability to resist the transfer of heat. The lower the U-factor, the better—and Pella offers some of the lowest U-factor in the industry. What does this mean to you? Again, the less heat transferred through your windows and doors, the lower your energy bills, providing you with the peace of mind that you deserve. In addition, Pella provides an aluminum clad exterior on all of their windows and doors, ensuring a maintenance-free exterior. Pella’s Exterior Hinged Patio Doors feature a three-point locking system for increased safety and security. Lastly, how often have your window treatments become entangled in the window handle? Pella has designed a fold-away window crank to prevent this from ever happening again. Pella accompanies all of its products with a 20/10 warranty; 20 year warranty on the glass, and a 10 year warranty on the stainless steel hardware.

VacuFlo Built-In Central Vacuum Systems
The VacuFlo central vacuum system is an easy-to-use, effective way to keep your home free of dust and allergens. VacuFlo's patented Cyclonic Filtration Technology eliminates 100 percent of vacuumed dirt, dust and allergens from the air which ensures healthy indoor air and helps to reduce the discomfort of allergy sufferers by more than 60 percent. Unlike portable vacuums, VacuFlo does not re-circulate dirt, dust and allergens. The technology creates a centrifugal force that separates the dirt from the air flow and deposits 96—98 percent of all debris into a remote canister. The remaining fine dust particles are either exhausted outside or caught in a pleated filter cartridge. VacuFlo is the only built-in central vacuum system made here in the U.S.A. in Canton, Ohio.
