Designed to be like our competitor’s packages, but with higher quality components and services. Includes features like Douglas Fir, a Quality of Assurance Certificate, and Tongue and Groove Ceilings.

The “cut-above” package we’ve successfully sold for years as our standard package – proven quality, beauty, and performance.
