Larry Richardson is a custom homebuilder in Idaho who has been building homes since 1989. In 2017, he discovered and started using TimberStrand® LSL studs. Halfway through his first home build using the product, he was sold. Now every stud, header, and sub-facia throughout every home he builds is all TimberStrand LSL.
Larry explains how the benefits are experienced from start to finish, from the framers to the crew hanging sheetrock to the finishers installing tile and cabinets. This also results in fewer callbacks for the builder.
“If I have to go to a house on a callback one time because the backsplash in the kitchen no longer meets the granite because the wall has moved a lot, it could cost you thousands of dollars to repair it. With TimberStrand we just don’t get that call.”
Larry now informs his customers that he only frames using TimberStrand and won’t take on the build with any other product. The quality of home he delivers has garnered him a much-admired reputation and kept him busier than ever.
TimberStrand LSL studs come in 2x4, 2x6, 2x8 and in a variety of lengths up to 40’ long!
TimberStrand LSL can be purchased from Trus Joist dealers in the U.S. and Canada. Use our Where to Buy store locator to find a Trus Joist dealer near you.
