As winter begins to come to a close, spring brings warmer weather, blooming gardens, and the start of MLB spring training (and Mud Hens Opening Day!) to mind. But springtime is also the ideal time of year to start construction on a new home. In more ways than one, it’s optimal for completing construction without experiencing delays so that you can get into your new home before the new school year begins in the autumn.
If building a house is in your sights, here are a few reasons why spring may be the perfect time to begin.

Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold
Waiting too long to start construction, and temperatures or other severe weather conditions may become more likely to cause delays. Harsh heat waves and summer storms after spring can be unwelcome roadblocks to sticking on schedule.

Building in a humid area like Northwest Ohio also requires consideration about how higher percentages of humidity will affect home construction. More humidity in the summer means longer drying and curing times for certain materials like concrete and paint.
 
Late Winter Planning
The key to sticking on schedule is to avoid wasting any time. Beginning construction in the spring allows you to utilize the colder months leading up to spring for planning stages of the home build. During this time when construction would be more difficult, you can finalize floor plans with the architects and designers and pick out the lot. Then when spring hits, your construction team can hit the ground running.

Time for a Change
What better way is there to break away from 2020 and winter monotony than by beginning with a fresh start in a new home you’ve been dreaming of this spring?

The process of buying a home is exciting for everyone involved. Everybody wants to find the home of their dreams, and in today’s world, there are more options than ever. When it comes to buying a new home, there are two main options: designing a custom home from scratch or buying an existing model floor plan. Luckily, we’ve laid out the advantages of each so you can easily decide which route is the right one for you.

The Advantages of Collaborating on Design
Creating and designing your home to function for day-to-day tasks is important for every family. Some homeowners have very specific wants and needs for their home, whether it be room size, layout, location or something else. Getting to customize their home gives many homeowners a fulfilling experience where the final product is a completely personalized home to call their own for years to come.

Customized for Your Needs
You’re making a large investment in your life when you buy a house. So, wouldn’t you want it to be exactly what you desire? A custom home is the only way to guarantee that you’re getting everything you want in your home. Create a layout that functions for your family and design a home fit for your style.

The Advantages of Buying an Existing Model
Upgrades and Amenities
Our existing models are built with the “wow” factor in mind. These homes are loaded with features and amenities to entice people into buying the home, the land, and reap the benefits of the various upgrades that the home comes with.

Turn-Key Design
Our floor plans are turn-key. They’ve been expertly designed to create a flow cohesiveness that make sure you’re family will be thrilled with the final product. Rather than building a home from scratch on a lot that you’ve selected, a model home is ready when you are. If you don’t like the idea of waiting for construction to be completed and want to get into your dream home as soon as possible, a model home is the way to go.
