A custom home isn’t a custom home without an amazing design and floor plan. Monogram’s designer’s plans have won hundreds of design awards over the past 25 years and our attention to detail and the ability to make your home “yours” is second to none.
Notes: Monogram always builds with taller, thicker foundation walls. We also include both exterior and interior French drains to GUARANTEE a dry basement. Our steel beams are oversized so you don’t need extra columns and our concrete garage floors are always reinforced to minimize cracking.
Notes: Monogram never uses cheap “Green/wet” lumber in our houses. Most builders don’t use dry lumber, so their houses get exponentially more drywall cracks, creaks, and squeaks. Our expensive, dry lumber combined with the 4000+ screws that are used to screw down the floor system guarantee a squeak free house that won’t settle as much as houses built with cheaper, non dry wood.
Pella Tilting Double Hung and casement with Pella screens and white grills as per prints; choice of white, tan, or brown; Low E and Argon included; skylights and basement windows as per plan included
Notes: Monogram uses Pella tilt to clean or casement windows in all of our houses. And we always order them with low E and argon to improve energy efficiency. Pella windows aren’t the cheapest, but they are the best. We also use oversized garage doors and included deadbolts on all exterior hinged doors.
Notes: We don’t use the cheaper, 30 year shingles, and we always include ice and water shield on our roofs to eliminate leaks. These are both usually options for other builders.
Notes: You will never see EIFS or synthetic stucco on a Monogram home. We use time tested, proven, multi coat cement based stucco with an acrylic finish. This costs more than regular stucco, but won’t stain like non acrylic stucco. You also won’t have water problem like are so common with EIFS system. Our gutters are seamless and custom made so they don’t leak, and they are color matched to your soffit/facia.
Notes: Our electrical panels look like a surgeon built them since they are so neat and clean. We also give you a generous amount of outlets, switches and circuits so you won’t need to spend any more money upgrading.
Notes: Monogram has won 8 awards for our energy efficient houses and we have been featured in numerous magazines and TV shows. NOBODY builds a more energy efficient house, and our dual fuel muti zone heating/cooling system is the ultimate.
Notes: Monogram’s plumbing package consists of the top name brands – Moen, Jacuzzi, and Kohler. We never use cheap “builder” grade fixtures, and our extra deep sinks, tile shower, and stylish faucets all are usually upgrades for other builders.
Notes: Monogram not only fully insulates the house, but we include a superseal’s package to seal all corners, nooks, crannies, electrical outlets, and other areas that usually aren’t insulated. We also wrap the entire house with typar/tyvek and perform a blower test to ensure that all penetrations are sealed.
We also, never, ever use cheap Chinese drywall that corrodes pipes, makes people sick, and puts off bad smells.
Notes: Monogram’s team of trim carpenters are really the “superstars” of our organization. They have even been flown to California to work on carpentry projects on celebrity houses in Hollywood for Monogram. Our father/son team of craftsman truly exemplifies the old world approach to finishing a house. Whether it is a simple crown molding, or a complicated full cherry library, our carpenters can handle it…and do it better than anyone else!
Notes: Monogram kitchens have won countless awards for their amazing designs. And the beauty of building a house with Monogram is that you don’t need to worry about cryptic allowance accounts! Cherry…oak…white…your kitchen, complete with solid granite countertops, is included in your price. We include 42” high wall cabinets, an enormous amount of doors selections, and even Cherry as a standard option. Granite is even included in all bathrooms. NOBODY beats our buying power for kitchens. Whether it is a $50,000 remodel up to a $4,000,000 house…our kitchens are dramatically superior to everyone else’s “builder grade.”
Allowance at builder’s cost for labor and material
Notes: Monogram is set up a direct dealer for GE Profile/ Monogram /Jenn Air, and lots of other high end brands. Our allowance dollars go a lot farther because of the way we buy direct. Whether you want a standard cooktop, or a crazy built in 60” wide range, we can get them all for you…and we buy them direct and pass that savings on. Our amazing buying power also extends to outdoor kitchens and grills as well (including Lynx, Fire Magic, and other top brands.)
