Homebuilding Tips

Have you ever walked into a home with a sunken living room or shag carpet and felt like you were transported in time (and not in a good way)? Sometimes the trendiest design choices can turn into a homeowner’s nightmare, especially when trying to resell a home decades down the road.

Building your own custom home is thrilling for so many reasons. You get to build on your ideal plot of land, with exactly the house plan and features you’ve always wanted. After your new home is complete, you have a chance to decorate your dream home.

Building a new home gives you the opportunity to select the features and finishes that will surround you, potentially for a lifetime.

Do you work from home and yearn for a home office that’s worth the (lack of) commute?

Everyone loves a beautiful kitchen, but when you’re a chef (amateur or professional), you need a kitchen that’s both beautiful and functional. Your space should feel good to work in. While everything you need should be close at hand, the kitchen must feel spacious and be clutter-free.

Is it possible to have a bathroom that’s so perfect it actually becomes your favorite room in the house? Yes, it’s definitely possible if you build custom. Whether you’re hoping to create a spa-like retreat, or you simply need a spacious, light-filled room for getting ready in the mornings, your bathroom can offer you a much needed moment of serenity.

Should you go with hardwood or laminate in your new custom home?

Open any interior design magazine or browse photos of dream homes online and there’s one thing you’ll spy in almost every photo: gleaming hardwood floors. The rich, classic look of hardwood is a must-have design feature of top designers and anyone who wants a home to feel warm, inviting, and beautiful.
