Packer Valley Builders, Inc. 2788 Knott Road, Oshkosh

TOP 10 Reasons to Build a New Home 1 - Because You Can Did you know that the decision to buy a new home is made by women 91% of the time? Building a new home is within your reach and affordable with a wide variety of price ranges and personalized options to fit your budget.

2 - For Your Health New homes have better control of air infiltration, resulting in healthier indoor air quality. And green building materials and technologies ensure you and your family live in a safe and healthy home.

3 - Energy Savings

See how a 1980’s home can look brand new again! Soaring floor to ceiling stone fireplace, immense island, custom cabinetry, and wall finishes are just a few of the highlights! Directions: From Hwy 41 take the Hwy 44 exit (#116) and head west approximately 1 mile to Hwy 91. Turn right onto 91 and drive west 3.4 miles to Knott Road. Turn right and drive north .6 miles to 2788 Knott Road on the right. From Oshkosh, take 20th Street/CR-K approximately 3 miles west of South Oakwood Road to Knott Rd. Turn left onto Knott Rd. and head south .4 miles to 2788 Knott Road on the left.

Remodel Home Features: • New open concept main level with new gas fireplace • New Nekimi Custom Kitchen with large eat at island • Built-in custom desk and bookcase • New main bath with solid surface shower • Updated lower level bath and laundry combination • New painted interior doors and trim • Updated windows • New entry doors and LVT flooring • Updated heating and air conditioning • Added storage spaces

Packer Valley Builders, Inc. 2277 Clairville Road - Oshkosh 920.232.7620 www.packervalley.com

With new energy efficient windows and doors, better insulation technology, energy efficient new appliances, and a modern heating & cooling system, your energy savings adds up and saves you money on utility bills.

4 - Get Rid of the Honey Do List (And the I’ll do it myself list, too) Let’s face it, who really wants to work on household fix it projects every weekend. You work hard all week so you can have fun on the weekend. A new home is exactly that, NEW. Everything is new, so no need to have a running to do list of things to fix around the house. You can just relax and enjoy your new home with family and friends.

5 - Room to Entertain Tired of spending time cooking in the kitchen while your guests gather in separate rooms? Many new homes have open-concept layouts that allow for easy conversation when entertaining. Everyone gathers in the kitchen at a party, why not have a big one where everyone can fit and socialize together? And did we mention the outdoor patio space?

6 - Quality you can Trust Wisconsin Builders Association builder teams are professionals you can trust. They work with you through the entire process to make sure you are happy and satisfied with your new home. And since you see the home being built from the foundation to the roof installation, you can trust your home was built right. When Mom’s happy, everybody is happy.

7 - A Wise Investment When renovating a used home, you need to pay cash or take out a home improvement loan at a higher interest rate. New homes usually have higher resale value and allow you to roll upgrade costs into your mortgage and pay over time.

8 - Peace of Mind

Meet the Builder... Packer Valley Builders, Inc. is a small familyowned business that has been serving the Fox Valley area and beyond for more than 45 years.

Top 10 Tips from NAHB Remodelers to Prepare Your Home for Spring after Severe Winter April 21, 2014 - As much of the United States recovers from one of harshest winters in recent history, it is important to inspect your home for damage and plan for home maintenance, repair and remodeling projects. Winter weather can be particularly damaging to a home and the tips from NAHB Remodelers can return your home to top condition after the severe winter. “Winter weather can damage homes in ways that aren’t easily visible,” said NAHB Remodelers Chair Paul Sullivan, CAPS, CGR, CGP, of Waterville Valley, N.H. “Home owners should protect their investment and hire a professional remodeler to repair or replace damaged components now, before spring storms create more problems.”

New construction technology … Earth friendly and Energy efficient Great Building Concepts Spring Parade Home features ICF (insulated concrete form) construction. Pictured during Parade Home #2 construction are Gene Becker, builder; Jay Treleven, Omro Fire Chief; and Eric Hoffmann, Omro Building Center.

Safety Salute to Omro-Rushford Fire Department Omro Fire Department fire trucks and equipment will be on display Saturday, May 9 and Saturday, May 16 at Parade Home # 2 at 6017 Hwy 21, Omro and Parade Home #3 at 5247 Notre Dame Drive, Town of Omro. Volunteers will be on hand to encourage home safety and fire prevention. Look for the firemen’s boot at each Spring Parade Home – you can make a donation at any of the Parade Homes to help the Omro Fire Department to purchase a new utility vehicle in 2014. The vehicle will be used to pull and haul small firefighting equipment. The Omro-Rushford Fire Department, established in November of 1891, is totally volunteer driven with over 50 members providing fire, medical and environmental emergency services. The Winnebago Home Builders Association would like to thank Fire Chief Jay Televen and the OmroRushford volunteers for their dedicated service in the area and for being our Home Safety partners for 2014. 12 | Oshkosh Northwestern

With today’s innovative concrete homebuilding systems you can build beautiful concrete homes in any style with all the added benefits like energy efficiency, safety, and peace and quiet. Other benefits include high wind resistance, fire rated assembly and no air infiltration which reduces dust and allergens. Super insulated walls are featured in Parade Homes #8 and #9 by Chet Wesenberg Architect. Shown in construction stages, the super insulated walls with proper air sealing provide energy efficiency that can both save you money on energy and makes your home more comfortable no matter the temperature outside! Other Earth friendly and Energy efficient features include high efficiency heating, cooling, hot water systems, lighting and appliances – reducing the carbon footprint by more than 5 tons of carbon per year. New whole-house ventilator provides fresh clean air while the smart thermostat automatically controls the indoor climate. Certified Performance home testing by Focus on Energy and eFree Advisors is the final step to ensure your home’s energy efficiency once your home is built. A “blower door test” tests the home for air tightness. Parade Builders will be on site at all Spring Parade Homes to answer your construction and energy questions. WHBA Parade of homes 2014
