Having the freedom and ability to create a plan with your must-haves when building a new home is one of the great reasons to work with a custom home builder like P&D Builders. Creating the house of your dreams may seem a bit overwhelming with all the choices available. There are a number of popular “must haves” for 2019. Here is a short list for planning your list of must-haves for your new custom home:

1. Built-in Wall Shelving – Incorporating built-in wall shelving allows your living space to be more open and visually pleasing. Built-in wall shelves can be used for decorations along with concealed storage.
2. Outlets Everywhere –  Today’s home requires outlets to be conveniently placed around the home. Adding outlets and USB ports to your mantel, under cabinets, and other unexpected spots in your kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor living spaces will make your life a lot more convenient and keep you and guests plugged in.
3. Closet Organization – Spacious walk-in closets never go out of style. Add some organization to your walk-in closet with more shelving and shoe compartments.
4. Spa Bathrooms – Create your own at home spa! Large master bathrooms with room for a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and even a sauna will add a sense of luxury and relaxation to your home.
5. Design an Outdoor Living / Kitchen Area – Blending the indoors and outdoors can be incredibly valuable in new homes. Such as adding an outdoor kitchen, firepit, or in-ground pool.
6. Mud Rooms – Many homebuilders are switching from tiny hall closets to expansive mudrooms that can store coats, shoes, umbrellas, dog leashes backpacks and sporting equipment.

These must-haves for building a new custom home are a short list of the most popular items. If you would like to share your must-haves list with us and talk with us about your dream home vision, contact us to schedule an appointment. We’ll be glad to share ideas and help you develop a house plan that delivers on your must-haves and dream home vision.

There are many benefits to building your own home rather than buying a pre-owned home. At P&D Builders, we have over 50 years of experience and perfecting the craft of home building. We want to help you build your dream home!

Make Your Home Your Own

When building a new home, you start from the ground up. You can choose all the details that make up your home such as, choosing the size, floor plan, and layout that work best for you. At P&D Builders, we have many floor plans, options and upgrades to choose from.

Modern Finishes and Appliances

New homes are often built with modern finishes and amenities. That includes energy efficient materials and appliances. You may be thinking that it’s going to cost way more money to heat and cool a home with a greater square footage area. But with the energy efficient features of newly constructed homes, you’ll be paying virtually the same amount as it would cost to heat and cool a smaller home with outdated features.

No Closing Costs

There are significant financial advantages to a newly constructed home when you choose to build with P&D Builders. One of the best benefits of building a new home with us is that we don’t require you to have a construction loan to start building. In fact, we don’t require a down payment or closing costs either.

In choosing the right building company, clients seek experience – At P&D Builders you will find an entire team of dedicated professionals with years of combined education & experience, each a specialist in their area of expertise. With this combined knowledge, P&D Builders creates original homes with exceptional attention to your individual needs.

Spring is here and so is spring cleaning time! If you’ve been putting it off or don’t know where to start, we’ve come up with some helpful tips to get you motivated!

Make a Schedule and Stick to it!

Creating a schedule and allocating dates and times will help you strategically tackle each room. Start with the rooms you’ve been putting off or need the most work. Determining certain areas of your home you want to clean up will help keep you motivated and focused.

Get Rid of Things You Don’t Use

If you’re planning to host get-togethers this spring or summer, it’s a good idea to declutter some areas of your home that have built up over the past months. Set aside some time to organize closets, organize your office, or go through your pantry to get rid of expired items. Being organized and knowing where things are will lower your stress level and freshen up your home.

Don’t Forget About the Windows and Walls

It’s easy to think of floors and counters getting wiped down, but spring cleaning is a great time to pay special attention to windows and walls. Wipe down window sills and blinds to clean off the dust that has accumulated over the winter.

Don’t Forget Your Air Filter!

Replacing furnace and HVAC filters is one of the most important and overlooked parts of spring cleaning. With spring comes allergies. Replacing your air filter can reduce the number of allergens in your home and help everyone breathe easier.

For most people, owning a home is their biggest investment. A custom home build allows comfort and flexibility for your new property. With a luxury home builder like P&D Builders, you can enjoy unique features that will not only complement your lifestyle but will also keep your friends and family entertained when they visit. Below are some essential features to consider adding to your custom home that will make any weekend get together a truly memorable experience.

Open Concept Kitchen

The kitchen could be considered one of the most important parts of your home. It’s one of the main spaces where your guests gather during parties and get togethers. As part of the home design and blueprint process, you should pay special attention to the kitchen and how you want this space to function. As part of your new custom home build, consider having a kitchen with an open concept design. The open concept refers to having a larger kitchen with open spaces where people can easily congregate. For the best possible entertaining space, you should consider installing a large kitchen island where people can socialize and eat. Larger islands are great for entertaining your guests because they can easily seat multiple people at a time while still having plenty of counter space for food and drinks.

Fire Pit

Another area worth considering for entertaining in your custom home is outdoor space. A permanent stone fire pit can turn a cool summer night into an outdoor party. Gas fire pits offer a clean and efficient way of enjoying your outdoor space without having to deal with firewood and open flames. Adding a focal area with plenty of seating space allows for all of your guests to enjoy the warmth and bond over smores and laughter.

Outdoor Kitchen

One thing is likely certain when you’re entertaining, there will be food. An outdoor kitchen space is one of the best features you can add to make cooking for parties much easier. This feature will make your cookouts and happy hours much easier to prepare. You can also enjoy an additional cooking capacity by combining both the indoor and outdoor kitchen spaces for large gatherings. That way, cooking for your guests will not leave you isolated from the party.

There are all sorts of rules and best practices when it comes to designing the interior of your new custom built home. You want it to be a place where you enjoy spending time and have all the elements need for your family. Another important part of the interior design process is choosing paint colors you love. If you’re looking to highlight the open concept for your new home, here are a few tips for choosing the best paint colors for your space.

Choose Light Colors

Open concept spaces are popular for many reasons. One of them is the design’s open and spacious feel. Painting the walls a dark shade of any color will only reduce the feeling of openness. This doesn’t mean you have to pick plain colors like white or beige, just lighter tones. Save the more striking and vibrant colors for the fireplace wall or an accent wall filled with shelving or artwork.

Experiment With Lighter and Darker Colors in Different Rooms

The same bluish-gray color that looks great in the kitchen area might appear dim and gloomy in a room where there are trees outside the windows or where the sunlight changes throughout the day. Try experimenting with a lighter or darker shade of the same color in corners of your open concept space, and see how the samples look at different times of day and in varying light.

Stick To Monochromatic Colors

Along with experimenting with lighter and darker shades of the same color, approach your whole open concept paint scheme in a monochromatic way. If you absolutely love the way beige walls warm up the living area, use that color and incorporate a very faint tint of the color mixed with white on the ceiling, a light shade on the walls, and a darker shade or tone of the beige mixed with some gray, black, or another dark color for shelving, the kitchen island, or an accent wall. Keep similar shades and tones in your furniture, rugs, and accessories. This will give the room some visual depth.

At P&D Builders, we provide interior design and decorating services at no extra costs. Ultimately, you are the final decision maker when it comes to choosing aspects like paint color for your new home. But, if you need some extra help or a second opinion, we’re here to help!
