8 Recommended Power Tools for Construction Projects

1.  10” Contractor Table Saw – Buy the nicest one you can afford.  You will use it more than any other tool for almost any cutting task you have.

2.  Power Drill(s) – Get a 18 volt cordless drill with a quick “chuck” which will let you change the bits quickly without a chuck key.  If you can afford it, buy a corded ½” drill for larger projects.

 

3.  Sliding Compound Miter Saw – You will use this for cutting dimensional framing lumber, crown molding and any other complicated compound cuts.

4.  Small Orbital Sander – These can be very handy and are not very expensive.  They are very nice for finish work and the pads are easy to change.

5.  Wormdrive Circular Saw – Buy a heavy one with a strong motor.

6.  Router – No shop is complete without a really good router.

7.  Reciprocating Saw – This is a must for demolition!  Get a decent one and you won’t regret it!

8.  Combo Compressor/Nailer Kit – Get one that comes with a finish nailer, brad nailer and a crown stapler.

Make sure you purchase decent brands so your tools last longer and are more reliable.  You get what you pay for in power tools.  Porter-Cable and Milwaukee Tools are well made brands will give you years more of use than the cheaper brands.

The Philippi Quality Construction Advantage!

blueprintsExcellent results with Single Source

Dividing a construction project between architect and builder can cause problems. Why? Because the process and lines of responsibility can be ignored, increasing the possibility of costly items falling through the cracks and being missed. Philippi Quality Construction’s philosophy solves that problem by accepting full responsibility for the design and construction.

Design/Build means being the customer’s single point of contact is with the people who are dedicated to customer’s satisfaction. Philippi Quality Construction is committed to being that one source and will guarantee to keep everything on track, on time and on budget, which gives customers more time to plan for opportunities and possibilities.

Commitment to Satisfaction

With any construction company, the benchmark of success has to be its level of customer satisfaction. Philippi Quality Construction strives to keep their customers engaged with the workflow throughout the project. All clients are updated on the building’s progress, fully explaining each step, answering all questions, offering clear, understandable options and making sure your project stays on time and on budget. 

Guarantee

Every Philippi Quality Construction project comes with a 1-year guarantee of materials and craftsmanship for a specified period of time following the completion of the project. Philippi Quality Construction believes in standing behind the final product and that means working with the customer to resolve any issues to everyone’s satisfaction.

Philippi Quality Construction is located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and has more than twenty years experience as designers and builders in markets including healthcare, commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational facilities.
