DESIGN

Most people think of building their dream home someday. Heritage Homes can help you build that home today. They believe your home is your haven, so they pay close attention to clients’ every word in order to personalize their home around their lifestyle.

Troy Mattern, director of sales, says, “Today most people settle for an existing home by figuring out how their family can fit into that home. Our goal is exactly the opposite. After understanding the homeowner’s lifestyle — from daily routines to activities and hobbies, we fit the new home to the client. Plus we’re conscientious about what they can comfortably spend.”

Clients learn early on what is included in the price of their home. For instance, appliance packages, three-stall garage, countertops, cabinetry and more.

Mattern continues, “After one meeting our clients go from thinking we can’t afford a brand new home to how can we not afford a brand new home? Often the cost is minimal to own a new home over purchasing an existing home or even renting.

“Our process not only gives them a home to meet their needs but also their wants. Again the woman-centric approach contributes to the livability of a home and ultimately higher future resale values.”

Leslie adds, “Our plans include great organizational conveniences. For instance, inside the garage entry, a locker area and bench seating make it easy for kids to put away their coats and shoes.”

In-depth discussions with clients begin covering a wide, yet focused range of topics. What do mornings or evenings look like for each family member? How often do they like to entertain and how many guests? Do they want a kid-friendly space? What pets will occupy the home? Will there be a future need for multi-generational guests? Is there a desired community or neighborhood where they want their new home to be located? After delving into every possible nook and cranny, the design team gets to work to create that personal dream home.

Speaking of nooks, they identify interesting uses for any wasted space. For example, under the stairway to the lower level, they could design a comfortable reading bench, a bookshelf, a wine grotto, mini-bar, a kid’s fort, a pet retreat or a sewing space. The possibilities present themselves from their indepth understanding of your household.

The Jensons say, “We were surprised at how many wonderful options are included in the base price of the home. Plus they were patient with us, allowing multiple design meetings, which let us explore some options we never thought possible.”

The Inspiration Center takes a lot of guesswork out of what can be a frustrating process. In this one-ofa-kind space, the new home specialists help you try different options to find what fits your dreams and then provides a visual through computer-generated three-dimensional floor plans.

The Jensons would recommend Heritage Homes to anyone looking to build. “In fact, we referred our best friends who built a Heritage Home at the same time and theirs turned out just as beautiful as ours.”
