One of the most exciting times during your new custom home build is selecting your paint colours. Some may find this to be somewhat of a challenge, but it can be a magical time where you are in control of how your new home will look.

If you've ever purchased a resale home, you may have experienced sketchy DIY renovations from a previous owner. Sometimes those DIY projects create dire situations, such as compromised structural integrity, funky wiring, or improper installation of any number of things. These problems occur when homeowners fail to hire the proper professionals. As a result, the work completed is not warrantable and becomes entirely your responsibility. Buying a brand new home comes with some great perks, one of those being that your home is protected by warranty.
Depending on the type of homes you’ve owned before, the idea of home maintenance can be absolutely dreadful. Leaky toilets, drafty windows, and remodeling a 1950's kitchen are just the tip of the iceberg of all of the items on which you can spend all your free time. It’s time to stop chasing the rabbit.
With a custom house, your home is built to higher standards, which in turn minimizes home maintenance significantly. For starters, the superior quality of a custom home is such that products in your home will not require replacing or repair for quite some time. Additionally, there are several selections you can make to further reduce the maintenance needed on your home.
Your lifestyle is far busier than that of your parents and grandparents. Your days are filled with activities, and you rarely have any downtime. You most certainly don’t have enough downtime for renovations, and the idea of living in a home stuck in the 1980s—regardless of it having “good bones”—just isn’t appealing. You want a home that not only fits your lifestyle but is actually up to date with the latest technology and features.
A custom home is a great solution to home ownership for today’s young buyer. You have the freedom to customize your home with the layout and features you need to enhance your everyday life. Here are some of the features you should consider for your new custom home.
