In my role as a New Home Sales Consultant, I work with great clients every day, as we build their dream home. During construction, I have the pleasure of taking my clients on tours of their home. It is so rewarding to spend this time with my clients, sharing in their excitement and showing off the amazing work of our talented trades and construction team. These tours are even better when I can accommodate client requests such as adding a blessing to their new home, inspecting a kitchen install, or simply taking photos of the progress – it such an exciting time for each and every client, and I am glad to be part of their new home journey with Doug Tarry Homes.

Decor Trends
The exterior of your home is the first thing people see. It is an element that is essentially permanent and something that is not changed easily, or updated often. It is important when choosing your homes exterior selections to consider not only the cost of a product, but also the lifespan, durability and product characteristics that will improve your homes look and function.
Today we would like to discuss cement board siding. Cement Board siding has been around for years, but is something that is gaining popularity amongst homeowners who are building and renovating. Not only does it offer a wide variety of styles, like horizontal siding, board and batton and shake, it also has a wide variety of solid and variegated colour options to pick from to elevate the exterior of your home.
James Hardie is a cement board manufacturer, who has been around for years, and we here and Doug Tarry use if often within our subdivisions to add interest to a homes exterior. Did you also know that on top of looking good, it can also help your home withstand extreme weather, fire and damage from pests. Cement Board siding is engineered for superior durability our of cement fibers and has an overall better performance than wood or vinyl siding. The cement fibers in the siding or shake can withstand harsh elements like wind, rain, freezing temperatures and hail and the product won’t expand and contract based on the weather like wood siding could.
Warm regards,

A message from our President
THE IMPORTANCE OF FRESH AIR IN YOUR NEW HOME
When would you like fresh air in your home? It’s a simple question, but one that I’ve often asked during our client selections orientation meetings. It serves as an introduction to how your new home will be different from the one you currently live in—and I like to make it memorable!
The conversation usually goes something like this:
Doug: “When would you like fresh air in your home?”
Customer: “During the day.”
Doug: “What about at night when you’re sleeping?”
Customer: “Oh yes, that too.”
Doug: “And how about during the summer, when your AC is running?”
Customer: “Yes, that would be good as well.”
Over the years, I’ve noticed a shift in how people respond. Today, most customers understand the importance of a healthy home environment. The answer I hear more frequently is “All the time.”
Regardless of how the conversation starts, my goal is always to help homebuyers realize that fresh air in their home is essential—not just part of the time, but all the time. That’s why, at Doug Tarry Homes, we build with your family’s health and comfort in mind.
Our homes are designed and constructed to ensure continuous fresh air circulation, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable living environment. To achieve this, we give you two sources of fresh air: windows that open, and an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), or as we like to call it, your “fresh air machine”.
Of course our customers are welcome to open their windows at any time, but we understand that there are times of the year where this is not practical. That’s where the ERV plays such a critical role in your family’s health. This highly efficient air exchange will give you fresh filtered air all year-round while also recapturing the heat energy and moisture from the stale air being expelled from the home, making the incoming air healthier and more comfortable.
So, when you’re in your new home, rest easy knowing that fresh air is always flowing, enhancing the quality of life for you and your family.
If you’d like to learn more about how we prioritize your home’s health, reach out to us. We’re here to help you create a space that’s not only beautiful but also supports your well-being.
