Building Anatomy

The ties than bind. For the most part our buildings are ‘blind’ fastened. We use stainless steel GRK fasteners throughout. These are structurally more advanced, and once again, expensive than standard framing nails. While we’re at it, we’re the only company to use reproduction ‘rose-head’ nails on our tongue and groove wide cypress floorboards as a standard offering. These distinctive, traditional nails impart a character that is reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship that would have been seen in outbuildings scattered throughout the northeast and mid-Atlantic region.
