Why Our NoVA and MD Design and Build Firm Trusts Frisco Woodline with Our Clients

When building an outdoor living space today, you don’t always have visibility into all the companies contributing to your project. But there are distinct advantages to going local with your build firm. If you’re looking to create one of these outdoor spaces in your NoVA or MD home, here’s what East Coast–based lumber and building material supplier Frisco Woodline brings to the table.

3 Reasons Frisco Woodline Is a Smart Choice for Your Nova or MD Outdoor Living Space Project

When you sign with a design and build company, you might not know what businesses they partner with for the lumber and building supplies in your project.

But it’s worth asking.

For decades, Design Builders has operated exclusively in the Northern Virginia and Maryland markets, and many of our trusted partners, including Frisco Woodline, are also local to that region. Here are three of the top reasons we trust Frisco Woodline with our Maryland and Northern Virginia outdoor living space projects.

1. Local Knowledge about Northern Virginia and Maryland

Frisco Woodline began in 1955, when it operated as G. E. Frisco. That’s nearly seventy years of experience specifically supplying lumber and timber products to the East Coast. (Get to know even more about the Frisco Woodline history.)

This extensive, sustained experience working in the region means they know what products:

• Work best and last in the region.
• Provide a low-maintenance experience, taking into full account the region’s specific environmental factors (sun, rain, snow, insects, and more).
• Are the most cost effective immediately.
• Offer the best return on investment over time.

Design Builders exclusively operates in the Northern Virginia and Maryland markets, so it’s critical that our partners have deep local knowledge of those areas. Working with people who act as consultants gives us peace of mind that we’re getting the best products for our clients’ builds, the best advice, and the best possible level of service. 

2. Insight into Local Northeast Weather 

An important piece of that local knowledge is understanding the environment in which these outdoor living spaces will exist.

Partnering with a company that has this local knowledge benefits homeowners in three key ways:

• Better Aesthetics. You get materials that are more certain to last in the types of weather, temperature fluctuations, and seasonal conditions common in Maryland and NoVA. This helps ensure your build doesn’t end up looking weather-beaten, shabby, or old well beyond its years.
• Better ROI. You save real dollars and cents when you opt for low-maintenance options, and a company with local knowledge can guide you toward which products will be “install it and forget it” solutions. Over the lifetime of the build, you can also save in repair or replacement costs by going with high-quality products that respond well to the Maryland and Northern Virginia environment.
• Better Quality. One of the specialty services this partner offers is their Frisco Woodline coatings. When it comes to spraying paint on lumber products, having deep local knowledge about the weather matters. Things like relative humidity have a huge impact on how paint should be sprayed. Even just a few degrees difference should alter the approach. Working with a company that doesn’t have this knowledge could lead to premature chipping, bubbling, or peeling paint.

Design Builders is in the business of creating unique outdoor architectural projects that last for decades. It’s essential we work with people who can help us reach that goal, which is exactly why Frisco Woodline is a preferred partner.

3. Proximity to Our Customers

Working with a local company like Frisco Woodline means many of our customers can expect their in-stock orders the very next day. That immediacy has tremendous value when building an outdoor living space.

• Fewer Construction Delays. When you’re waiting on your building materials to come in, it’s incredibly disruptive to your schedule. Many pieces in an exterior build have to be done in a certain order. If you’re waiting for the lumber to come in, that can have a ripple effect on every part of the build. The end result? More time your life is disrupted by the construction project.
• Quick Problem Resolution. If there is an issue with your order for any reason, you have the time and space to get it remedied. When you’re working with a big-box store or some company that doesn’t have a local presence, you can wait weeks for your order to come in…only to then have to wait weeks again for the replacement piece to arrive.

Working with Frisco Woodline means we can offer faster, better service to our clients. Period.
