Building Standards & The Building Process

Where do Matco Builders & Developers work?

We are proud to provide home building services anywhere in the Greater Rochester area, but most Matco Homes are now being built in the All-Seasons Subdivision in the town of Hilton, NY. This subdivision is located just minutes outside of Rochester, in a rural setting. The All-Seasons Subdivision is the perfect place to build your dream home. It is also the home of Gabriella’s Garden, a beautiful community garden celebrating the life of Gabriella A. Mattioli, daughter of Matco-owner Marco Mattioli.

Our home building process includes the following services:

Before the home is built, the site must be cleared and graded. Once this is done, trenches for the foundation are dug. All standard foundations are built on block, although basements can also be poured concrete as an option.
  • Twelve course poured basement with interior insulation per NYSEC
  • Insulated basement windows
  • Blacktop street with concrete gutters
  • All underground utilities
  • Underground cable TV service available
  • Concrete Sidewalks
  • Storm and sanitary sewers
  • Stoned driveway
  • Lot finish graded with topsoil to individual grading plan and town or village code
  • 3×3 stoned pavers from porch to driveway

Once the foundation is set, the floor, walls, stairs and roof are built. The frame is the shell of the home that provides the shape of the structure. Make sure you take into consideration the placement of all your windows, (is there going to be enough light in the room? is there going to be sufficient air flow?) These are things to change now on the drawings because they cannot be changed later.
Included in Matco’s Homes: Framing
  • Top-grade lumber used throughout
  • Truss construction used
  • 5/8″ Advantech or equal decking glued and nailed
  • 1/2″ OSB on roof and 1/2″ OSB on sidewalls
  • 2 x 6 exterior wall framing – 16″ OC

This stage finishes the outside of the home and protects the inside from the elements. From the outside, at least, your home looks almost done. When selecting your façade (siding color & trim) and roof covering, consider the maintenance costs and requirements, and how long the product will last. Remember that the cheapest product out-of-the-box will not necessarily be the least expensive long-term. If we try to sell you something more expensive, odds are pretty good that we’re not just trying to make a buck; we want your home to last!
Included in Matco’s Homes: Exterior Construction
  • 30-year roofing, seal down hand-nailed.
  • Aluminum seamless gutters
  • Vinyl double-hung windows w/grids on front elevation and screens per plan, double-pane & Low-E
  • Insulated metal entrance doors
  • Vinyl siding & corners on complete house
  • House wrapped in Tyvek or equal
  • Aluminum eaves and vinyl overhangs
  • Raised-panel steel garage door

Electrician installing wiring in a home.
Once the interior of the house is properly protected from the elements, the plumbing, electricity, water heating, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are installed.

You will meet with the electrician to place the electrical outlets and fixtures throughout your home. You will also have an opportunity to add additional outlets and also decide if you would like ceiling lights in bedrooms (for an additional cost). Remember, it will cost more later and will be more inconvenient when the walls are drywalled and your furniture is in — So now is the time to do it!

Included in Matco’s Homes: Plumbing/Electric/HVAC

Plumbing

  • State or equivalent 40 gallon gas hot water tank

Included in Matco’s Homes: Insulation
  • R-19 Insulation is added to the exterior walls.
  • R-38 Insulation is then added to your ceilings and

Once everything behind the walls is complete, the flooring, drywall, tiles and cabinetry are installed, and the home is painted. This is the longest phase, for good reason. Unlike the mechanical rough-in step, subcontractors in the interior finish steps usually cannot do work at the same time.
