Save Money and Stay Warm

, , , , 0

For most families, winter means higher heating bills. Here are 5 free or inexpensive ways to save money while staying warm!

1. Use ceiling fans to circulate air. Heat rises, so warmth can get stuck up high near the ceiling. Turn your fan on low, circulating air up toward the ceiling. This will push warmer air down, making your space feel warmer and allowing you to turn the thermostat down a degree or two. And each degree you can lower your thermostat is money saved!

2. Don’t heat a room you don’t use. Have a storage room connected to the HVAC system in your home? If you won’t be in the room, why spend money heating it? Close the vent and shut the door, and you’ll be paying to heat one less room.

3. Regularly change the air filter in your furnace. Not only will a fresh filter improve the air quality in your home, but it can also save you money. A clean filter means your furnace can push air through your HVAC system easier, allowing it to work less hard. Over the long run, regularly replacing the air filter will lengthen your furnace’s life.

4. Make sure all the air vents in your home are unobstructed. Sometimes a rug, sofa, shelf, or other items can block the air input or output vents, making your heater less efficient. This can lead to higher thermostat settings and lost money. So make sure to check that all your vents are clear!

5. Have a fireplace you aren’t actively using? An open chimney flue is like an open window – you’re losing significant amounts of heat and causing your heater to work overtime to keep your house warm. By closing the flue when your chimney is not in use, you prevent hot air from escaping up the chimney and save money on your heating bills!

The advantages of building your own custom home start to add up when comparing the pros and cons of building vs buying.

The home you live in is a big part of your life. With so much time spent there, it’s important to have a home that fits your needs. Here are some reasons why we think building a custom home has some major advantages over buying what’s currently available on the market.

Everything is custom. From the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, to the size of your living space and kitchen, to the floor plan and square-footage. Have a big family and need a big kitchen and walk-in pantry? Love outdoor living and want to build an outdoor seating area and fireplace? Want a built-in library in your den? If you’re building custom, getting to choose details like these is a major benefit you miss out on by buying an already built house. 

More than just getting to choose personalized details in your home, building custom means you can plan your house around the exact functionality you’ll need. You can create a home office, a gym room, kids’ playroom, or mother-in-law suite. The options for customizing your home and it’s functionality are almost endless!

Another benefit to building a custom home is that you get to choose your neighborhood and your lot. If you prefer a secluded lot in the woods, you can build whatever home you like on that lot. Rather than being stuck in whichever neighborhood a pre-built house happens to be in, you get to intentionally choose your community.

In addition to choosing your home’s functionality, customization, personality, and location, you also get to have a say in the materials that go into making your home. You can choose energy efficient materials for windows, doors, insulation, and more, to save money on energy bills. You can choose brick siding to minimize maintenance. Want hardwoods or specialty tile? With custom, the choice is yours!

To us, that means being available to take your calls and answer any and all questions you have during the home building process. It’s your home, and it’s a big investment, so we want to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

Some builders will take every job that comes their way, overloading their schedule. We build about 12 homes per year, and focus all of our energy on each build, making sure to deliver homes we are proud of. We specialize in designing and building custom homes for people who own vacant lots or land, and we build a lot of homes in the North Georgia area.

Open Floor Plans

Open Floor Plans

So you’re planning your new custom home. Choosing the footprint, deciding on a floor plan, picking out your deck size… and you’ve heard of “open floor plans”.

The trend toward more open floor plans may be recent, but it’s one trend that’s here to stay.  

Generally when people talk about an open floor plan, they’re referring to the general living space being more open than in previous decades. This means less walls, an easier flow from room-to-room, a bigger combined area rather than smaller walled-off rooms, and better space for entertaining.

Open floor plans can make you feel like your house is even bigger than it is, and can feel more relaxing than having individual rooms that can sometimes feel cramped. Usually in modern open floor plans, the kitchen, living room, and dining area, will all be connected like one big open space. Each area may have distinct details to separate it from the other spaces, but in an open floor plan it will still flow effortlessly from one area to the next.

Not only do open floor plans offer more efficient entertaining and a more breathable feel for your home, but they can also make your space feel luxurious, especially if part of your living area has high ceilings and big windows to let in the light!

We’ve compiled some of our favorite examples of open floor planning from a few of our recent custom home building projects. Take a look at these awesome homes, and feel free to get in touch with us when you start thinking about building your own custom home! Our builders are experts at designing, planning, and building custom homes!

Whether you’ve just begun to dream about your new home, or you’re in the final stages of choosing your design, we hope these examples of custom kitchen backsplashes will help you get some ideas for your new kitchen!

The next example uses different angles to create a focal point above the stove. We love this creative use of a single color of tile to create a unique feel!

But there’s no rules about what kind of material you have to use for your custom backsplash, and we love this homeowner’s choice to use rustic stone for a stunning style!

Tile can be done in straight lines horizontally or vertically, but did you know you can also do angled tile? The use of these long white tiles to create an interesting zig-zag pattern is a great way to keep the color palette simple while still creating a point of interest with your backsplash.

And we can’t leave this next one out! We love using mixed materials between the countertop and backsplash to create interest with different textures! We think this combination looks clean, classic, and welcoming!
