Why We Choose Wood Over MDF for Your Home’s Trim
At Scott Alan Custom Projects, every detail in your home matters—even the baseboards and window casings. We use real wood instead of MDF because it’s stronger, more durable, and adapts naturally to temperature changes. In winter, wood handles dry air and fluctuating heat without cracking or warping, keeping your home beautiful and comfortable year-round.
Building a home in winter isn’t something to shy away from—it’s something to understand. While the season brings colder temperatures and shorter days, it also brings distinct advantages that many homeowners don’t expect. With modern materials, cold-weather building techniques, and a skilled team that knows how to work with the climate rather than against it, winter construction can actually streamline your build.
Every exceptional home is the result of more than a great builder — it’s the work of the dedicated trade partners who bring that vision to life. At Scott Alan Custom Projects, many of our trades have worked with us for decades, creating a level of consistency, craftsmanship, and care that you can feel in every detail of your home. This behind-the-scenes network of long-standing partners is the true foundation of a smoother build, better communication, and a finished home that stands the test of time.
