"The Villa Difference is Clear"

Villa Homes installs our footings into the existing soil for a better foundation and to avoid settling.  Villa includes 3 courses of stemwall in our price.  Other builders will bring in dirt and pre-fill a lot then put the house footings in the pre-fill dirt.  Villa will NOT build this way.

      City and State Code calls for 2500 PSI concrete.  Villa uses 3000 PSI because it is stronger and can support additional stress. “PSI” means pounds of pressure per square inch; the greater the “PSI” the stronger the concrete.

      Villa also uses 3000 PSI Fibermesh Concrete, wire mesh, and mesh chairs for all house slabs.  Our procedure provides better reinforcement for your slab.

      Villa’s roof trusses have 2” x 6” lumber top chords.  This is used because it is stronger than 2” x 4” lumber, which is a standard in the industry.
      Villa only uses C.D.X. plywood on our roofs, not flaked board.  C.D.X. plywood is better because it will not delaminate and it is stronger.
     Villa Homes includes a tile roof with all our homes.  Villa uses a direct screw method to attach the tile.  We also use hip & ridge nailers for the tile.  This provides for better strength when attaching the roof tile.
     Along with perforated soffits for ventilation, Villa also installs off-ridge vents on all tile roofs because this allows for additional attic ventilation.
     Villa Homes uses Metal Framing material to frame the interior walls of our homes.  Metal Framing reduces termite infestation, warping, and nail pops.  This also helps with providing straighter walls.

      A Security System is included with all Villa Homes.  All window and door openings are connected with motion sensors.

     All range hood/microwaves have an in-wall vent (where possible), which is vented to the outside of the home.  Added storage in the cabinet above the range hood/microwave is made available when the vent is placed in the wall.  This procedure that Villa uses allows for vapors/smells from cooking to be drawn out of the house.

   The Villa Preferred Energy Savings Package is included with all Villa Homes.

  • 14 S.E.E.R. air conditioning system
    (S.E.E.R. means Seasonal Energy
    Efficiency Rating; the higher the
    S.E.E.R., the less energy is needed to run
    the A/C unit).
  •  Digital Programmable Thermostat
    (offers the flexibility of automatically
    setting variable temperatures).
  •  Heat Recovery Unit (uses the wasted
    heat from the A/C unit to heat hot water).
  •  R-30 BATT attic insulation in living
    area ceilings. Villa only uses “BATT”
    insulation to insure complete coverage of
    the ceiling area.
  •  R-5 minimum in all exterior walls.
  •  Mastic on all duct seams and joints.
  •  All windows and sliding glass doors will be double pane laminated impact resistant glass (except for mitered glass windows, where applicable).

      Villa Homes includes CPVC Plumbing.  This plumbing system is more advantageous than copper plumbing and will last longer.

      Wood cabinets in the Kitchen with stepped uppers and crown molding provide every Villa Home with a designer look and style.

      Granite countertops are included in the Kitchen and all Bathrooms of a Villa Home.

      Villa uses den-shield moisture resistant tile backer board on all shower walls.

      Elongated commodes are used in all Villa bathrooms because they are larger and less confining.

      Villa will box out an area around the clothes dryer to recess the vent, enabling the unit to be closer to the wall.

      With every Villa Home you have your choice of round or square corner bead throughout the main body of the home.

      Electrical switches are placed at 42” to the top to keep them out of all drywall seams.

      Impact glass windows, sliders & doors are included with all Villa Homes. 

      Villa includes 8’ tall interior doors, Kwikset Society Brass door hardware, 5 ¼” base board molding, & 3 ½” door casing throughout the home.

      18” x 18” Floor tile is included in standard areas of our homes.

      Mohawk plush, berber, or texture cut pile 100% nylon carpet and 6 lb. pad is included.

      Villa Homes includes an automatic garage door opener(s) and a keyless entry for the garage door.

      Every home we build receives our custom made pre-cast concrete Villa Homes mailbox and designer aluminum address plaque.

      We offer a landscaping package that includes trees, bushes, & shrubs with every Villa Home.

      Floratam sod and a 4-zone automatic sprinkler system with rain sensor shut-off is included because it provides for a more attractive lawn and better control of the lawn’s watering needs.

      Villa includes a brick paver driveway & front entry walkway with our homes to enhance the beauty of your home.

      Detailed painting specifications are used with our painting trades.  A stucco primer will be used on exterior walls and allowed a fair amount of time to dry out before applying the satin paint as the finish coat.  The garage door, front doors, and service doors are a semi-gloss oil base paint.  A drywall primer will be used on interior walls and given time to dry before applying the flat latex paint as the finish coat.  A semi-gloss oil base trim paint is used along with additional caulking on the interior doors and trim.  This insures for proper coverage and better touch-up capability.

      Before construction you will be given a Homeowner’s Portfolio featuring the warranty on your home.
