Since the dawn of time we humans have sought comfort in the dwellings which house us. From the cave to the luxurious country club estate, and everything in between, we've demanded that our homes meet certain standards. We expect our residences to be dry, relatively bug-free and wind resistant. But the fact is, no home can be totally protected from forces of nature because all the human efforts which construct our homes are just that human.
Nature is much more powerful.
There are many methods to secure our homes and possessions. The first step is to find a good builder. Rob Washam, of Rob Washam Homes, suggested selecting a builder who repeatedly uses the same subcontractors. Our subs know the house designs frontwards and backwards,'' he said. He suggests interviewing prospective builders as well as their superintendents.
