Heating and Cooling – Goodman Manufacturing
We started working with Goodman Manufacturing at the beginning, and couldn’t be happier to see that they have replaced Lenox as the top heating and cooling manufacturer. These systems are essential for any home, in any climate, and because of that we only offer the best!

 Soffit Vents – Panasonic
The Soffit Vents form Panasonic offer an incognito profile which are easy to clean. These vents optimize airflow and are also able to be rotated to align with ductwork.

 Ventilation fans – Panasonic
The International Residential Code indirectly requires a 24/hour fan to run in homes built today. Gerstad Builders identified that the Panasonic brand was the most quiet and best product to use, and Professional Builders has confirmed this fact. The fans are also Energy Star for Homes 4.0 certified.

 Paint – Sherwin-Williams
The smallest imperfections in the final wall appearance of a home can cause major headaches to the homeowner. The Builders Solution line offers the ability for touch-ups and a higher quality finish. This is why Sherwin-Williams has been Gerstad Builders paint choice for many years.

Engineered Wood Products – Boise Cascade
When designing a home, sometimes conventional wood is not feasible, in these cases an engineered wood product is used to replace conventional wood structures. Boise Cascade manufactures top quality engineered wood products, plywood and lumber.

Housewrap – Typar
Many people overlook or save money on house wrap because they believe that siding is what protects your walls from rain and storms. A great quality house wrap can be a life-saver when a storm does damage. When wrapping a home with Typar, homeowners can have peace of mind knowing that it will keep water and moisture out.
