Celebrating 50 Years of Earth Day!

Did you know that April 22nd marks the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day?  As we adapt to the restrictions of social distancing, one thing we can celebrate is our shrinking carbon footprint. During this newfound journey, we are here to serve our clients today and tomorrow building energy-efficient homes designed to soak in natural light and ventilation. Modular construction maximizes the use of building materials and utilizes waste to energy practices which means far less waste in landfills.  A tighter building envelope combined with the insulation package we include in each home means greater energy efficiency and savings for the homeowner. Our homes are better for the families living in them and for our environment. What are some easy ways to reduce that carbon footprint even more?  Continue to reduce and consolidate trips to the store.

How to Find the Best Builder for Your New Home

                                                                     


One of the most important decisions you can make is who to select to be your builder. Your home is the place where you will experience some of your dearest memories with family and friends … and the peaceful place where you will come home to at the end of a busy day. Selecting the right builder will result in a beautiful new home to be proud of and a building experience to fondly remember. Needless to say, this decision should be made with care.
Modular homes have received a lot of attention lately because of the many advantages this style of construction offers those wanting to build a new home. Dave Cooper, Senior Building Consultant from industry leader Connecticut Valley Homes was asked to explain some of the advantages of modular construction and how to find the best builder for your project.
No Two Homes Are The Same: Dave Cooper says, “our custom homes range from cozy cottages to exclusive estates. Each of the 1550 homes we have built reflects the needs, personal style and budget of our customers. Regardless of size, every one of our homes has much in common: free home design service so the new home fits the building site and lifestyle of our clients, meticulous quality control, careful cost control, and superior after-sale service.”
Efficiency: “The Connecticut Valley Homes building process saves time so clients can move into their new home sooner. Because of all the included energy saving features, we get a lot of positive feedback from customers about their utility costs”, reports Mr. Cooper.
Durability: Modular construction is inherently stronger than traditional site-built homes. “This added strength means a Connecticut Valley Home can stand up to mother nature better. As FEMA reported after Hurricane Andrew, module-to-module construction provides an inherently rigid system and performed much better than conventional residential framing.” And while many of the “built to last” structural components are behind walls, standard features like solid surface countertops mean the interior of a Connecticut Valley Home gets high ratings for durability too.”
When asked what is the most important consideration when selecting a builder, Dave Cooper didn’t hesitate. “Look for experience and reputation. For example, at Connecticut Valley Homes, we are home designers and building professionals. We are an experienced coastal builder, with hundreds of homes in coastal and high wind zone areas. For over 34 years we have been managing complicated coastal codes and regulations, which benefits our inland customers too. We are used to difficult lots, small building sites, and everything in between. Our expertise includes tearing down an existing structure to rebuild a new custom home either on the existing foundation or with an expanded footprint. Home design services are included with each unique situation and each home is built to our customer’s specific needs, building site, and budget.”
“Testimonials and online reviews can provide helpful information”, notes Dave Cooper. “Meet the builder in person to find out if their strengths are a good fit for your project. I tell customers, when you are ready to learn if building makes sense for you, give me a call at either the Fairfield office at (203) 690-1678 or the East Lyme office at (860) 739-6913. You can also visit online for floor plans and photos.”
