Homebuilding Tips

The complete remodel of our South Puget Sound office is finally done, and it looks great. The local contractors we used did a great job of installing new siding, building a covered porch, adding a fresh coat of paint and totally redoing the interior with new hardwood floors, carpeting, trim and a new cabinet display. If you've driven by our 2303 93rd Ave SW address recently, you know we even updated the graphics on the sign. If you're in the neighborhood, please feel welcome to stop in and see all the improvements. While you're there you can also visit our new 2659 model home. With 4 bedrooms, a master on the main design, and an open living concept, it's one of our most popular plans. Don't be too surprised if it starts you thinking about a new, custom Adair home. Look forward to seeing you soon!

It may seem obvious, but there are not many things that are more important to the home building process than your ability to comfortably afford the home you've chosen. Whether your finances allow you to simply make the purchase, or you need a construction loan, it pays to turn to your builder for advice and assistance. A financial pre-qualification can help you determine the loan amount most comfortable for your family based on your "debt to income" ratio. Once you've settled on a budget that suits your means, you're ready to determine the total cost for your project, including the land, your home, and site development costs. Identifying these three items is crucial to choosing a home that fits your finances, as well as your needs and wants.

The foundation of the home is one of the most important structural features of the house and will support the entire structure for the life of the building. With Adair Homes, the foundation is the first step in the construction process and will be the first opportunity you have to see our professional and knowledgeable trade partners at work.

What a year it's been and it's not even half over. Only weeks ago we celebrated the grand opening of our new West Puget Sound office. Now we're doing the same for a brand new location in Mount Vernon. This office marks Adair's thirteenth location in all, and our second to open during 2013. We are now building throughout the ENTIRE state of Washington and look forward to building many more homes this year.

Adair Homes is very excited that our South Puget Sound Office in Olympia, WA can start to unveil a beautiful new model home. The 1700 square foot home they used for almost ten years was really cozy, but construction materials and techniques, especially for saving energy, have changed so much. We feel it is important to show customers what we build into our homes today. The best part of building the new model is that we were able to donate the old home to a deserving local family who moved it to a lot near our office.

... And the newest one to date, is a must-do. Located at 3500 NW Bucklin Hill Road, Suite 100, our West Puget Sound office serves Kitsap, Clallam, Jefferson, Pierce and Mason counties Tuesday through Saturday from 10am - 6pm.

Adair Homes is excited to announce another new floor plan. Our 2104 features an open design with 3 or 4 bedrooms and can be built without a garage if needed. This split bedroom plan offers additional privacy from the other rooms, but the common living areas are spacious and designed for comfort and functionality. With minimal transitions, such as hallways, this home offers an efficient use of the square footage with more usable space. The formal dining room right off the kitchen allows interaction between the two spaces all while providing a more private setting. If a formal dining room is not for you, don't worry- you can change it to a den or a fourth bedroom. Two great features of the kitchen include a large island and walk-in pantry. Coupled with the open floor plan, spacious kitchen, and formal dining, this home is great for large families and for entertaining. Let's not forget about the master suite. Situated in the back of the home and separated from the other bedrooms, this master suite provides a mini oasis from the chaos of everyday life. The 5 piece master bath features a large walk-in closet, soaker tub, shower stall, and double sinks. If you are interested in pricing information for this floor plan or any of our 40+ others, please contact us through our website or call your local Adair Homes office.
