BY CARL VOGEL Oliver Homes, Inc., Sales Coordinator
As Sales Coordinator at Oliver Homes, Inc., I am frequently asked, “What does it cost to build a new home?” “What are the steps to building a new Home?” “How does the process work to build a new home?” I am very consistent in my answers; there is a logical process to building a new home.
The first step is to discuss the lot that the home will be built on. Oliver Homes can assist a client in finding a lot to build on. Some clients already own their lot; others are gifted the lot by family. There are many considerations in buying a lot; among them is the feasibility for the
5 EASY STEPS TO New Home Ownership
desired home to be built. Oliver Homes can guide a client in the process of putting a lot under contract.
The second step is to determine the style and design of the home. Oliver Homes offers one stories, two stories, split foyers, cape cods and split levels. Oliver Homes offers many prepriced plans, but we are very flexible and can alter a plan we have or design a plan for you. “Custom” does not mean additional cost. We are going to price the house
as designed. There is no additional charge for customizing a plan.
The third step is to consider the site improvements or site cost. Oliver Homes will perform a site visit and provide a site-cost estimate for “Free”. This consists of a visit to the lot to determine all costs associated with building a particular home on a particular lot. The site cost includes: excavation; well; septic; driveway; utility connections for electric, cable and phone; storm
water management; driveway apron and grading.
The fourth step is to estimate the cost of building permits and county fees. We take care of the entire process, which includes applications, designs, fees and engineered plans to be submitted.
The fifth step is a discussion of construction financing. Some clients elect to obtain a construction loan. Oliver Homes is very accustomed to dealing with construction loans. However, we also offer the ability for Oliver Homes to finance the purchase of the lot and fund the construction of the home. This allows the buyer to consider many types of loans to purchase their new home. Oliver Homes is able to work with many types of loans.
Oliver Homes is a locally family-owned, third generation construction compa-
ny, building new homes in 6 counties and 3 states. Several employees have worked for the company over 25 years, and we are very experienced in new home construction.
We look forward to seeing you at the Home Show and discussing your project ideas. Please call 301-797-0000 to speak to our new home sales consultants or visit our website at www.oliverhomes.com.
“ “Custom” does not mean additional cost. We are going to price the house as designed. There is no additional charge for customizing a plan.

Maximize Your Kitchen Storage
WITH CABINET ORGANIZERS
BY NATALIE CLEVER Designer at J&D Kitchen Distributors, inc.
A well-organized kitchen can transform cluttered spaces into functional areas, allowing you to find what you need quickly. With the right kitchen organizers, you can maximize space, enhance efficiency, and create a more pleasant environment. Here’s a look at some of our favorite cabinet organizers for making the most of your kitchen storage.
ROLL-OUT SHELVES
Roll-out shelves make accessing items at the back of your cabinets easier. These shelves can be installed in base cabinets and pantry spaces, allowing you to pull out pots, pans, and food items without bending down or reaching deep into the cabinet.
PULL-OUT ORGANIZERS
Make use of narrow space with a pull-out pantry cabinet. Perfect for spices, sauces and other kitchen items. Units with stainless steel cannisters and/or knife blocks can aid in eliminating counter clutter. There is also specialty pull-outs designed for items like baking sheets, cutting boards and food storage containers.
BASE CORNER ORGANIZERS
Lazy Susans are rotating trays that keep items quickly and easily within reach. Ideal for spices, condiments, or canned goods, they
allow for easy access to items without digging through stacks. Swing out shelves can be utilized in blind corner cabinets to gain access to otherwise forgotten storage space.
DRAWER ORGANIZERS
Keep utensils, cutlery, and kitchen tools neatly arranged with drawer organizers. These dividers come in various sizes and materials, allowing you to customize your storage based on your needs. A diagonal cooking utensil divider is great for storing long-handled tools in the center sections and the small odds and ends like an egg slicer or apple-corer in the corners.
DEEP DRAWERS
Deep drawers are great for storing pots, pans or food storage containers. They can come in 2 and 3 drawer configurations. By adding a peg system, you can even store your everyday dishes.
UNDER-SINK ORGANIZERS
The area under your sink is often underutilized. Invest in organizers like a cleaning supply caddy that can help store cleaning supplies, dish soap, and trash bags, keeping everything tidy and accessible. Make the false front functional with a tilt-out tray to keep sponges and scrub brushed out-of-sight. Protect your cabinet from drips and spills with a heavy-duty rubber CabMat, capable of holding 5 quarts or liquid.
VERTICAL DIVIDERS
Vertical dividers are perfect for storing cutting boards, baking sheets, and pans upright. This not only saves space but also prevents scratches and damage, making it easier to grab what you need without a hassle. They can be in a base cabinet near the range, above the refrigerator or wall oven.
Investing in kitchen cabinet organizers can dramatically improve your cooking experience. The right organizers can streamline your workflow and make meal prep more enjoyable. Take the time to assess your kitchen’s needs and schedule an appointment with a designer at J&D Kitchens to plan your kitchen remodel. Our showroom is located at 132 Old National Pike, Hagerstown, Md 21740.
While our pups might spend hours lounging on the floor, it is a bit of a stretch to think that our floors are besties with our pups. The truth is that dogs can put our flooring to the test! Between drool, muddy paw prints, and the occasional tail-wagging mishap, our floors can take quite a beating from these playful companions.
Finding that sweet spot between beautiful floors and a happy, energetic puppy can be a bit of a juggling act. That’s where pet-friendly flooring comes into play. Options like luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, and some hardwood flooring look great and are practical. Luxury vinyl is scratchresistant, and stain-resistant and it comes in a ton of beautiful designs that can really add charm to your home while standing up to your dog’s playful antics.
Then there are tile floors! Tile is the toughest option out there for dog owners.
Furry Friends & Our Floors
BY BURKHOLDER’S FLOORING AMERICA
Its durability and ease of care make it a fantastic choice for pet-friendly homes. So, let’s explore the best types of dog-friendly flooring together, ensuring your home remains stylish and comfortable for both you and your beloved pet!
Why Luxury Vinyl Flooring is a Top Choice for Pet-Friendly Homes
If you are on the hunt for the best floors for your furry friends, luxury vinyl flooring is a top option. This flooring style truly has it all! With its impressive durability, stylish looks, and pet-friendly features, luxury vinyl outshines other options when it comes to dog-friendly spaces.
Luxury vinyl is tough, making it a top choice for dog-loving households. Whether you have a playful labradoodle or a laid-back chihuahua, these floors can manage all the paw-some activities without showing any wear. From scratches to heavy foot traffic, luxury vinyl stays resilient and looks great, giving you peace of mind as a proud dog owner.
Keeping your home clean and welcoming is a breeze with luxury vinyl floors. The water-resistant and stain-resistant qualities of vinyl make cleaning up spills and accidents quite easy. Plus, with a protective layer that shields your flooring, you can enjoy a stylish space that meets the needs of your beloved pup.
Durable Tile Flooring for Dog Owners
Choosing the right flooring as a pet owner is all about finding that sweet spot between durability and style. Tile flooring is a fantastic option that blends lasting strength with long-lasting beauty. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless charm of porcelain and ceramic or the uniqueness of natural stone, both choices promise impressive durability.
Thankfully, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles are tough enough to handle the playful antics of our furry friends. Cleaning tile flooring is a dream – no more battling fur stuck in the fibers; sweeping and vacuuming are quick and easy, helping you keep your home looking tidy.
Natural stone, porcelain tile, and ceramic tiles shine when considering the durability and minimal maintenance needed with pets. They allow you to create a space that feels homey while still being perfect for your pets.
Don’t Rule Out Hardwood Floors as Pet-Friendly Flooring
Discover the perfect blend of beauty and practicality with hardwood flooring – an excellent choice for homes with furry friends. Hardwood floors bring timeless charm and are easy to maintain, making them a stylish option for pet owners.
Opting for hardwood types like hickory, white oak, or hard maple can help protect your floors from scratches, which is a real bonus when you have pets running around. There are wood species that are tougher than softer varieties, helping protect your floors from scratches, and their natural durability keeps them looking great. A scratch-resistant finish will offer even more protection against the antics of your beloved pets.
The Janka scale can help you understand how different hardwood types stand up to wear and tear. A higher score means better resistance to scratches and dents—a key factor for pet-friendly flooring. Our friendly team at Burkholder’s Flooring America is here to help you choose the ideal wood species, ensuring your new floors handle all of your pet’s adventures while maintaining that warm and inviting feel you love in your home.
Laminate Flooring: A Wise Choice for Dog-Friendly Homes
Laminate floors are a fantastic choice for those seeking superior water-resistant and durable flooring. It brings a host of benefits, making it a beloved option for dog owners looking for strong yet stylish flooring. Laminate flooring is known for its impressive scratch and stain resistance, making it a smart pick for busy households.
Dog owners know how tricky it can be to keep our floors pristine. Laminate’s ability to resist scratches from playful paws helps keep everything looking great, even with our furry friends around. These floors are designed to handle daily life’s ups and downs, including the occasional pet accident.
You deserve flooring that fits your lifestyle. Laminate flooring stands up to the energy of active pets while keeping its charm and quality over time, making it a warm and welcoming addition to your home. We’re all in this together, and laminate flooring is here to help you create a comfortable space for you and your beloved pets.
“
One of the top choices of flooring for dogs is tile. Tile flooring is made from hard-wearing and waterproof materials, such as ceramic, porcelain, or stone. Typically, tile flooring is installed in high-traffic areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, because it’s easy to clean and fully waterproof. It’s pretty much impossible for dogs to scratch.

A MUST-HAVE:
Landscape Lighting
BY EXTERIOR ILLUMINATIONS
Landscape lighting goes geyond mere aesthetics, providing a range of benefits that enhance your property in multiple ways.
ENHANCED CURB APPEAL
First and foremost, landscape lighting significantly boosts the curb appeal of your home. A well-lit exterior highlights the architectural features of your house, thew beauty of your garden , and other landscaping elements. With strategically placed lights, you can create a warm and inviting ambiance that makes your home stand out in the neighborhood. The visual appeal of a beautifully illuminated property is undeniable and can even increase the value of your home.
IMPROVED SAFETY
Safety is another crucial reason to consider landscape lighting. Properly lit pathways, driveways, and stairs can prevent accidents and injuries by ensuring that these areas are visible and easy to navigate after dark. Additionally, lighting up potential hazards such as uneven ground or garden ornaments helps to further reduce the risk of trips and falls, making your property safer for family, friends, and visitors.
INCREASED SECURITY
Security is a major concern for many homeowners, and landscape lighting can play a significant role in deterring potential intruders. A well-lit exterior eliminates dark spots and shadows where burglars might hide, making it less likely for them to target your home. Motion-senior lights can add an extra layer of protection by startling and exposing anyone who approaches your property unexpectedly. This not only protects your home, but also provides peach of mind.
EXTENDED OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
Landscape lighting allows you to extend the use of your outdoor spaces well into the evening. Whether you enjoy entertaining guests on the patio, relaxing by the pool, or having family dinners in the garden, proper lighting creates a pleasant and functional environment after the sun goes down. This extension of your living space increases the usability and enjoyment of your yard, allowing you to make the most of your outdoor areas.
HIGHLIGHTING LANDSCAPE FEATURES
Finally, landscape lighting is p[perfect for showcasing the unique features of your garden and yard. Whether it’s a beautiful tree, a water feature, a sculpture, or a flower bed, the right lighting can draw attention to these elements and create stunning focal points. Accent lighting, uplighting, and downlighting techniques can be used to highlight textures, colors, and forms, transforming your landscape into a visual masterpiece.
DO YOU HAVE UGLY, OLD, STAINED OR MOLDY CONCRETE?
BY AL BLUM, Owner of Renew It All, Inc.
AN EDUCATED CONSUMER IS OUR BEST CUSTOMER!
The need for updating the look of old dingy concrete has increased as homeowners need more living space. The economical choice of coating the concrete vs. replacing it has become very popular. Finding a long lasting guaranteed product can be a problem. I would like to help educate you on what you should look for so you can ask the right questions to find the solution and value that fit your needs.
First, find a licensed, insured and reputable company. Ask all contractors for proof of insurance and for their MHIC (Maryland Home Improvement Commission) Licence Number.
What are the reasons for coating your concrete?
• To update or improve the look of old or stained concrete. Concrete garages, sidewalks, porches, basements, patios and carports can all be coated.
• Coating extends the life of the concrete by protecting it. Concrete surfaces are subject to a variety of stress on a daily basis. Sun damage; snow and salt damage; pitting and surface delamination; freeze/thaw expansion; and power washing all can damage your concrete.
• A properly prepared and coated surface is chemical, salt and oil resistant. Using normal household cleaners like Simple Green will keep the surface looking great for years.
• With the choice of color options and textures, coating can transform your entire space. Cracks can be mended, pits filled, and oils removed by properly grinding the surface for better adhesion. In basement settings, the floor will stay cleaner. In the event of a flood, it will be easier to clean in addition to saving you money compared to carpet or laminate replacement and maybe mold issues.
DIY vs. a professional?
Homeowners can only do interior surfaces using the available epoxies at the big box stores. These brands of coatings are typically watered down versions of 2 part epoxies. They offer no way for surface prep other than cleaning the surface. They do not last, are easily damaged, and fade in sunlight. They are not for exterior surfaces and will be slippery.
Professionals prepare the area by using a diamond grinder to profile the surface and mending existing cracks. Profiling allows the coatings to get a strong bite into the surface making them extremely strong against peeling.
Why a polyurea and not an epoxy?
Renew It All uses a reputable, long standing polyurea and polyaspartic system to do our customer’s floors.
Polyurea base coats adhere to the concrete profile better than epoxies and the cross linking technology allows them to be more flexible and impact resistant. The colored flakes are vinyl and our polyaspartic top coat bonds to make a system that is 4X harder than epoxies. Our system allows (in most cases) for a 1 day install period that is usable in 24 hours. Best of all they are low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and low odor. Polyureas can also be installed year round when temperatures are above 25 degrees F.
Epoxies are thinner and typically need several coats. They can have a very strong odor and can be overwhelming when used inside. They can also take several days to dry and cannot be applied in cold temperatures.
POLYUREA/POLYASPARTIC VS EPOXY
POLYUREA/ POLYASPARTIC
• Hybrid coatings
• Superior adhesion qualities
• Allows 1 day installations
• Can be applied to exterior surfaces
• UV Stable, will not fade outside
• Can be applied in colder temperatures
• Lifespan: 15+ years
EPOXY
• Very good adhesion
• Installation can be 3-5 days
• Should not be applied outside
• Will fade or change color, yellow outside
• Can only be applied in 50 degrees and above
• Lifespan: 5-10 years
HOW TO COPE WITH DEER EATING YOUR treasure landscape
BY TOBY LOWRY
Sunny Meadows Garden Center
The doe worked her way along my mother’s flower bed; first she munched on the rose blossoms, then she nibbled on the day lilies. She finished up her meal by the Rose of Sharon with a game of subtraction that was both cute and infuriating.
No one wants their landscape suddenly transformed into nutrition. So, if the deer are snacking on your flowers, what can you do? Take lessons in photography? Get a hunting license? Here are three non-violent tips to help you cope with deer.
DEER SPRAYS
Spray these products on your plants to make them smell bad to deer. The downside? You will need to apply them repeatedly, so start with a brand that does not wash off in the rain. I like Bobbex—it is organic, and it lasts long.
DEER FENCES
Fences aren’t like deer sprays—you don’t have to apply them every month, but they are a significant investment. They should be 8 ft. tall to keep Bambi from leaping over the top.
Even if you choose not to fence, you should still protect young trees in the fall, because every fall, male deer mark their territory by rubbing trees with their antlers. The wounds that these gentlemen inflict could kill your tree. Make a ring of wire fence that is 3 or 4 ft high around the trunk of the tree.
DEER-RESISTANT PLANTS
Many gardeners have stories like this: “The nursery thought my weigela was deer resistant, but my deer thought it was bedtime snack!” So, how can you know that a plant is truly deer-resistant?
Deer hate plants with hairy leaves, such as lamb’s ear. Aromatic leaves repel deer also, so use plants such as lavender, ornamental onion, and boxwood. You cannot always know deer resistance by appearances, so check a dependable deer-resistance list; my favorite is Rutgers University’s.
Of course, people try other tactics to ward off deer; some work better than others. You could join the ranks of those who hang chunks of Irish Spring soap on their shrubbery. A few people use motion-activated sprinklers to scare the deer away. And some people claim you can hide the scent of deer favorites such as hydrangea by surrounding them with something pungent like chives or ornamental onions. In the end it is up to you –your creativity against the deer’s hunger. I hope you win!
HERE IS A LIST OF TEN FAVORITE DEER RESISTANT PLANTS:
• Marigolds
• Creeping thyme
• Thread-leaf coreopsis
• Catmint
• Ornamental grass
• Andromeda
• Boxwood
• Caryopteris
• Birch
• Southern magnolia
Founded in 1979 by Neil and Jolynn Nelgey and located in Newburg, PA – NEGLEY’S set out to create a well drilling business that would merge tradition with innovation. Early on it was understood that the NEGLEY’S process was going to be one that was different and stood out from other well drilling companies.
That understanding was almost immediately focused on providing not only a sustainable water source with a well, but plenty of pressure by the addition of a water pump. The residential well drilling business, coupled with the ability to provide commercial well services, continued to grow with hard work and integrity. The Negleys recognized an opportunity to not only foster a water source to homeowners, but be able to provide them with clean water treatment from their tap. In 2003 NEGLEY’S WATER launched their water treatment division.
This final sequence of a home’s water needs highlighted NEGLEY’S as one of the best local well drilling services. The convenience and stability of being able to offer residential well drilling, pumps and treatment make NEGLEY’S more than a company that drill a well. One company, family owned and operated, to pro vide the water your home deserves
Greencastle, PA. NEGLEY’S Greencastle provided the opportunity to better serve South Central Pennsylvania and Western Maryland.
In 2019 our company efforts were further strengthened by the opening of an office in Berkeley County, West Virginia in Martinsburg. In 2020 NEGLEY’S acquired another treatment business in Maugansville, MD. NEGLEY’S was able to continue to build on its existing presence in Maryland. Also, in 2020 NEGLEY’S WATER launched a new location in Mechanicsburg, PA.
NEGLEY’S continued to refine the customer experience by offering front end services that many other well installation companies don’t or won’t. What they offer is excellent response time that pairs with onsite evaluations by a Project Manager dedicated to your project. NEGLEY’S customer service team offers superior levels of communication and ownership of your water needs. NEGLEY’S has a four week turnaround from well evaluation to well installation. Then a homeowner is able to follow the sequence of the project’s water needs by allowing NEGLEY’S to install the pump and then a free water assessment follow up. NEGLEY’S offers a full line of customized water treatment products and the service to back them up. NEGLEY’S also offers a Commercial and Industrial Division for all well service, pump needs and water treatment offerings that are specific to the industry and need.
As our services grew so did our regional reach. In 2010 NEGLEY’S WATER acquired a local water treatment business in
As NEGLEY’S has grown the same quality and principles of Neil Negley’s first well still firm the foundation of growth. NEGLEY’S is a family owned and operated business that has been built on faith and service. The difference is the people and the ownership of your water needs, all in the name of helping you to Feel Better About Your Water.

TAKE
THE STRESS OUT OF
Building Your Dream Home
BY MT. TABOR BUILDERS
Building your dream custom home can be a daunting task, but working with an experienced custom home builder will make the process smoother from start to finish. An experienced custom home builder will know and understand the local codes and requirements of each State and County. So, let’s look at some things to consider as you start the building process that can help make this process as smooth as possible.
PROPERTY
• Does your property allow you to sit the home on it the way you would like?
• Will the location of the home meet setbacks from wells, septic systems, and property lines?
• How will the driveway get you from the road to your home?
• If you would like a walkout basement, is there enough grade to allow one?
• How far away are utilities from your home’s location on the property?
DESIGN OF YOUR HOME
• Does your home builder have a Draftsman in house to help you design your dream home?
• Does your home builder have a Design Specialist that will work with you to pick out
all your building materials from the outside of the home to the final touches on the inside?
• Without both of these professionals you would either have to pick all your building materials out on your own or hire an outside company to help you. This can be very expensive.
TIMEFRAME
• How long should the entire process take?? Well, that depends on the complexity of your home and the land.
• The permit process varies depending on location. Each County issues permits, and the requirements are different per County. An experienced builder will know what each County requires.
• You will need to allow 3 to 5 months from the initial phone call to the builder to the time of
signing a contract and starting the permit process. A great custom builder will have a contract for you to sign that will be extremely detailed with all building materials, estimated start and completion dates and one that is legal in your State and County.
• The building process usually takes 8 to 11 months.
BUDGET:
• Lastly and maybe most importantly is your budget. We all know that with Inflation, all materials have gone up in price.
• A custom home builder will listen to your wants and ask you what your budget is. They are not going to use it against you. They are going to direct you with certain materials or the size of your home to get you into your budget.
• Listen to your builder as they explain things and ask questions as you go through the process!
The building process will never be without some sort of stress. This is one of the most important decisions that you are going to make in your life! By hiring an experienced builder your stress level will be lower and you will enjoy the entire process from start to finish a lot more.
TO GET YOUR YARD READY FOR SPRING 5 Steps
BY C&M LAWNS
Spring is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start preparing your yard for warmer weather. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just looking to maintain a neat outdoor space, these five tips will help you get your yard in shape and ready for the season ahead.
CLEAR OUT THE WINTER DEBRIS
• Why It’s Important: Leaves, branches, and debris left behind from winter can smother your grass and prevent healthy growth.
• Action Steps: Rake up leaves, remove dead branches, and clear out flower beds. Consider composting the organic debris for an eco-friendly solution.
Pro Tip: Call in a professional for a thorough spring cleanup to save time and effort.
AERATE YOUR LAWN
• Why It’s Important: Aeration helps loosen compacted soil, allowing water, nutrients, and air to reach the grassroots.
• Action Steps: Use a manual or powered aerator to create small holes in the soil. Focus on areas with heavy foot traffic or clay soil.
Pro Tip: Late winter or early spring is the best time for aeration, so plan ahead.
REFRESH MULCH & EDGING
• Why It’s Important: A fresh layer of mulch not only enhances curb appeal but also retains moisture and suppresses weeds.
• Action Steps: Remove old mulch, clean up flower beds, and apply a new 2–3-inch layer. Redefine bed edges to give your yard a polished look.
Pro Tip: Choose mulch that complements your home’s exterior for a cohesive appearance.
SEED & FERTILIZE STRATEGICALLY
• Why It’s Important: Overseeding fills in bare patches and ensures a lush, green lawn. Fertilizing provides essential nutrients for healthy growth.
• Action Steps: Choose a grass seed mix suited to your region and spread evenly over thin areas. Apply a slow-release fertilizer to kickstart growth.
Pro Tip: Test your soil to determine the best fertilizer for your yard’s needs.
PLAN YOUR LANDSCAPING PROJECTS
• Why It’s Important: Spring is the ideal time to install new features like patios, walkways, or garden beds before summer heat sets in.
• Action Steps: Sketch out your ideas, set a budget, and consult a professional for larger projects.
Pro Tip: Start with small, manageable projects to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Prepping your yard for spring doesn’t have to be daunting. By taking these steps, you’ll set the stage for a vibrant and welcoming outdoor space that you can enjoy all season long. If you need help, give C & M Lawns a call – we’d be happy to help!
