Step into any Hensley residence and you’ll feel the luxury—yet the finest features are the ones you’ll never notice at first glance. Decades of Platinum Home-Building Experience—personally overseen by founders Tim and John Hensley—ensure every board, bolt, and byte serves your family for generations.
1. Precision Starts With Kiln-Dried, No. 1 Lumber
Straight studs mean straighter walls, tighter trim, and less movement. We specify kiln-dried structural lumber, not “green” framing, to lock in dimensional stability from day one.
2. Advanced Framing
Our 2×6 and 2×8 advanced framing, 16-inch centers provide 5-1/2″ fiberglass insulation or closed cell foam exterior layers, quieting road noise. Marine-grade AdvanTech® plywood sub-flooring is glued, nailed, screwed, and sanded for a seamless finish.
3. Smart-Home Ready Wiring Chase
Future tech moves fast. A vertical conduit from the basement to the attic is roughed in on every build, allowing you to add PoE cameras, fiber, or lighting control later—without opening up the drywall.
4. Flush-Floor Transitions
Tile, hardwood, and carpet meet perfectly level—no reducer strips—delivering true aging-in-place accessibility and a seamless designer finish.
5. Custom Millwork, Crafted Once
Mantels, jambs, and built-ins are fabricated for your openings, then finished on-site for crisp shadow lines and heirloom-quality craftsmanship. It’s part of the “meticulous attention to detail” that has defined Hensley since 1985.
6. Triple-Layer Foundation Drainage
Stone backfill, fiberglass membrane, and perforated footer piping keep basements bone-dry—protecting hardwoods and indoor air quality for decades.
