HBA Expo Update

Kitchen designs will feature the latest in cabinetry, countertops, flooring, appliances and built-ins at the Tri-State Home Show, which opens Friday.

This outdoor living space designed by Grass and More of Dalton, Ga., won Best of Show at the 2013 Tri-State Home Show.

A growing trend in home renovation is "aging in place," the buzzword for safety renovations that allow the aging baby boomer population to remain independent and in their homes longer. This bath design by Independent Lifestyle Solutions allows a homeowner in a wheelchair to roll up to the sink or into the shower, where a built-in bench offers seating while bathing.

Faux treatments make a comeback on cabinets.

"Age in Place:" Renovations that allow senior adults to safely remain in their homes longer.

New Home Builder in Milwaukee Receives Multiple Awards

Beaufort, SC (PRWEB) February 20, 2014

Custom Home Builder Beaufort is announcing plans for creating new home and luxury home development locations in the Beaufort, SC, area.

The company has put together a team of experienced consultants that can offer, from their years of experience in the home-building business, key insights and important information a new buyer will want to know. The consultant and buyer sit down, review multiple options around what the buyer is seeking in his or her dream home, and compare those results with what is available within the buyer's budget.

It is important to make sure that all building permits are in place before construction begins. Custom Home Builder Beaufort has developed quite a team of licensed electricians, plumbers, landscapers and interior designers that go right to work once papers are signed to move forward with the project.

The company only works with high-quality individuals, and makes sure the job gets done right. Anyone that is sent out to the building site must have their licenses up to date, therefore guaranteeing the new home will meet today's standards.

Custom Home Builder Beaufort understands that a new home deserves to look really incredible from inside the living room to the backyard. An interior designer can work with the buyer, look at the home design itself and just see what the buyer wants his or her dream home to look like. From carpeting to furniture styles, all of these intricate areas are covered. Then, the landscaper gets down to the nitty gritty of grass, plants, flowers and ways to beautify the outdoor areas.

The home consultant will walk along with the buyer step by step, answering questions and listening to concerns.

53rd Home & Garden Show Kicks Off

The city of Shenandoah will soon be home to a new planned community as Houston-based Pelican Builders plans to construct a new 98-home community off Vision Park Boulevard.

The gated community, called Boulevard Green at Vision Park, will sit on about 11 acres of land with access to Vision Park Boulevard and Country Lane through Pine Forest Drive.

Derek Darnell, vice president of Pelican Builders, said construction on infrastructure like streets and utilities should begin by May.

For the past few years, the company has built communities within Houston and the Sugar Land area and has also expanded into The Woodlands with EastGate and Ellipse Park in The Woodlands.

In general, weve been a developer of well-planned, urban-oriented gated enclaves around the Houston area, Darnell said. Its kind of a common theme for us. Were not necessarily a custom home builder and not really a single-family home builder.

While amenities for the community are currently tentative as developers continue gathering data from the area, Darnell said the group is exploring possible amenities like a pool and a cabana for resident use. However, he emphasized the company is still collecting marketing feedback and the refinement of certain features like common amenities is not set in stone yet.

The homes will continue the style of architecture seen in the East Shore of The Woodlands where Ellipse Park resides, Darnell said. The company is working with New Orleans-based architect George Hopkins to offer homes with a distinct southern style and a New Orleans feel, featuring antique brick, porches and lights styled like old gas lanterns.

Pricing for the homes will range from $500,000 to $700,000, Darnell said. Home construction is scheduled to begin in August with the first occupants moving in around spring of 2015.

Pelican Builders continues building new communities in The Woodlands area, particularly due to its growth and welcoming residents, Darnell said. The particular land available at Vision Park Boulevard also offers easy access not only to The Woodlands but also to Interstate 45.

It was really the growth of the ... area combined with Vision Park Boulevard evolving into a new and exciting street and hub for communities and businesses, Darnell said.
