Frederick'sLuxury Design & Construction Offering your imagination unlimited possibilities imagine Old world craftsmanship with heavy timber framing reminiscent of the 17th and 18th centu-ry manor style homes that were constructed to house generations. now you have an idea of the quality offered your large or small project by fred nader of fredericks Luxury Design and Construction.

fredericks incorporates passion and vision for unique designs with building techniques that cannot be rivaled by other builders in the region. A luxury home or estate should be engineered and constructed from the foundation up, including soil conditions, in a completely different manor than smaller homes.

Too many luxury homes and estate homes are manufactured utilizing the same methods and proce-dures as lower priced “track” homes. The luxury-home-owners-to-be trust their architects, builders and home inspectors to provide them a well built, quality home, free of defects and shortcuts.

Unfortunately, as so many local owners of newly built luxury homes in the area are finding out, their brand new estate home or luxury home was constructed on poor soil, improper waterproofing, inad-equate drainage, insufficient foundation, framing and roofing. These construction shortcuts have resulted in settling cracks, windows and doors that won’t open, uneven floors, water damage and mold, to name a few.

we invite you to examine and compare fredericks’ quality, building process and white glove treat-ment. Fred is confident that your examination will leave you wondering why other builders in the region are not designing and building luxury homes this way.
