EASY EXTERIOR MAINTENANCEOur exterior standards include copper flashing and elegant European round downspouts that do not rust or ever need painting. The James Hardie cement-based siding and trim reduces the likelihood of termite, rot, and fire concerns while providing a 30-year warranty on the siding and a 15-year warranty on the trim. We want our homes to be easy to maintain while retaining the polished finish that makes a Magnolia Home stand out from the rest!
LANDSCAPING AND EXTERIOR FEATURESNot only do we use maintenance-free materials, we extend your living space to the outdoors. We include covered rear porches with ceiling fans as a Magnolia Homes standard to provide a more comfortable setting and energy efficiency. We include full landscaping and provide a one-year Andrew Turf and Tree Services lawn treatment that reduces the need for weeding and fertilization of grass during your first year. This allows you full enjoyment of your yard upon move-in and additional cost savings on landscaping and maintenance during your first year.

QUALITY PLUMBING MATERIALSWe choose Pex Plumbing Tubing for plumbing instead of PVC and copper which are the norm. Pex Tubing handles colder weather better due to its high durability and flexibility, is resistant to corrosion, mineral buildup, and erosion, and provides a clean and quiet water distribution system with no pinhole leaks like copper.
REINFORCED SLABS AND RIGID ROOFSFrom top to bottom, Magnolia Homes goes beyond standards in construction to build a superior home. The foundation of your home is an important part of the longevity of construction. Our foundations are 14โ minimum above grade slabs with extra rebar to increase the overall integrity of the foundation and reduce the possibility of water infiltration. The same attention to detail goes into our roof construction. Our extra step of 16โ on center rafters vs. the typical 24โ on center construction provides more solid roofs and better resistance to weather conditions.
OPTIMAL ATTICSIn a Magnolia Home, we use radiant barrier TechShield and raised air ducts for better attic insulation and floor storage! Instead of regular plywood ceilings in your attic we use TechSheild โ this is a foil facing that reflects heat penetration. Not only does this insulation help with the attic but the overall energy efficiency of the entire home. We also make it easy to access and utilize your attic space, including all mechanicals such as your hot water heaters and HVAC units, by constructing walk-in attics and stairways to the third floor level while also laying additional flooring for ease of storage. This coupled with the organized, compact wiring and duct work make your attic a usable, accessible space for additional storage!
CUSTOM DETAILSEach of our homes go beyond the standards to infuse the unprecedented details that define Magnolia Homes! Each of our homes has a custom-built bench and hooks to keep the back entrance organized and clutter-free with additional storage! We also create a custom vent hood for each kitchen, fitting perfectly to its space in the kitchen. We provide quality details throughout with elevated trim work, cedar beams, and additional timeless characteristics that set a Magnolia Home apart.
KITCHEN COMFORTSWhen creating the perfect kitchen we only use custom-built solid wood cabinets featuring self closing drawers and doors. All our cabinets are locally made. Other custom features include light rails, adjustable door hinges, false doors on the sides, and no retro-fitted fillers that are typical in factory-built cabinets. We top off our kitchen designs with Moen faucets for timeless designs and lasting finishes.
CUSTOM CLOSETSWe take closet space seriously at Magnolia Homes! We only use Inspired custom shelving in our closets. These are customized, sturdy, maintenance free, professionally installed and never need painting! We also design each of our homes to include generous closet space and linen closets.
INSULATED GARAGE DOORSWe go that extra step to insure less heat and air conditioning loss through your garage by installing insulated garage doors. We also use a quieter motor with belt drive to keep the noise down!
CLEAN AND SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENTOur approach to uniquely designed quality homes extends to the safe and clean environment in which our construction crews work. We reduce waste and reduce costs by keeping a clean and safe worksite.
From top to bottom, and from the inside out, Magnolia keeps track of the details and never settles for ordinary. Our goal is to make your Magnolia Home the perfect combination of beauty, efficiency, low maintenance, and sturdy construction. These are homes you will want to live in for a lifetime!
