A Letter From The Editor...

If you drive around the Chippewa Valley, it’s likely you’ll hear the sound of hammers, saws and machinery... because the 2017 building season is going strong!

As you’ve doubtless heard recently, the housing market is the strongest it’s been since the recession.

Homes under $250,000 are selling quickly, sometimes in hours and sometimes with multiple offers. Realtors are seeking houses to list because they don’t have enough inventory to keep up with the demand.

But the current lack of available houses is a good thing for area builders.

Homeowners who aren’t finding what they want to buy are turning to building as an option.

The increased interest in purchasing a newly constructed home or building What does this mean for the home building industry? a home is creating a very During the recession the number of home builders busy 2017 building season. in the Chippewa Valley declined. While many hung This is both good and bad for on and survived the downturn, others chose different area builders who struggle to keep up with demand. professions and some retired. That means that the One of the major challenges they face is a lack of number of homes being built also decreased over a skilled workforce. Fewer youth are interested in the past 10 years. Just in the city of Eau Claire, in entering a career in the construction trades, creating 2004 190 new single family homes were built, while a problem for area builders who could take on in 2011 there were 24 single family homes built. 2016 more projects if they had qualified workers. This is saw us increase back up to 76 single family homes. a nationwide issue that the Chippewa Valley Home While many are building outside of the city limits, this Builders Association, along with the Wisconsin does show a good picture of the current state of the Builders Association and the National Association of market.

Home Builders, are trying to address.

During the recession more builders focused on building custom homes (pre-purchased homes for customers) because they weren’t assured of selling spec homes, thus the amount of new home inventory drastically decreased. I believe this is part of what’s contributing to today’s lack of inventory and higher prices; the rate of building didn’t keep up with growing population and demand.

We are continuing to reach out to area middle school and high school students to communicate the great career options for those students who like to be outside and work with their hands. We’ve partnered with area high schools on Youth Apprenticeship programs and are working with area schools to communicate the opportunities skilled trades can provide to students.

Having a safe home and a roof over your head is a basic need of everyone. But the future of the building industry and our ability provide that that is dependent on today’s youth understanding this importance and seeing a career in construction as a good opportunity.

And we will keep doing our part to spread the word!

Open Floor Plans Remain A Top Pick Main floors with few or no interior walls between areas for cooking, eating, relaxing and entertaining allows cooks to chat with family members or guests, provide easy flow for entertaining and enable parents to keep an eye on children from different areas. Open floor plans not only maximize space and flow, they optimize natural light. Windows serve more than their immediate area, illuminating the entire space.

Whether looking for a new home or revamping a current residence, home owners continue to be drawn to the feelings of spaciousness, easy flow and welcoming togetherness evoked by an open floor plan.

Pioneered in the early 20th century, open floor plans remain popular today, according to a recent survey from the National Association of Home Builders. The survey found that 70 percent of buyers want a kitchenfamily room area that is either completely or partially open, with 32 percent wanting it completely open. And owners of existing homes are choosing to open things up, too. Remodelers reported that 40 percent of their projects involved opening existing homes’ main floors by removing interior walls entirely or by using countertops, cut-throughs or archways, rather than full walls, to define separate areas in a more open way.

With the increasing focus on accessible design, open floor plans meet another of today’s needs— with fewer doorways, they are easier to navigate in a wheelchair or with a stroller.

As you walk through the properties in the 43rd Annual Parade of Homes, take note of the open, spacious floor plans most of them feature. You may find that an open floor plan is right for you.

Enjoy the Great Outdoors with a Deck or Patio A new deck or patio can be the perfect gathering place, adding a new dimension to your yard and creating space that you didn’t even know you had. A well-planned outdoor living space can become a home owner’s backyard getaway, but the wrong deck or patio can end up as unused dead space. Keep the following in mind and you’ll find yourself enjoying the sunshine from your outdoor retreat in no time.

Patio or Deck?

When deciding on whether you’d like your new outdoor haven to be a patio or deck, first do some research. Some areas have building codes or terrains that dictate one or the other. What kind of budget are you looking at? Decks can be a more affordable option than patios, but concrete, while more expensive, tends to be the sturdiest material with the lowest maintenance needs.

Several factors can determine whether a deck or patio is best for you: • How much weight does your space need to hold? If you intend on adding heavy items such as a hot tub, a patio may be a better option.

• Does rain or snow create runoff problems on a flat patio surface?

•Are you able to clear piling snow easily off your deck?

If you have a rough backyard terrain, a raised deck may end up your best choice instead of expensive excavation for patios. Likewise, if you dislike dirt or have pets, consider a raised deck. Remnants from sand and stone patios easily find their way into clean houses. A raised deck also may work as a better option for low-lying yards that tend to become soggy when it rains or as the snow begins to melt.

Choosing the Design Once you’ve determined whether a deck or patio is best for your home, the possibilities are endless. For home owners on a budget, a sand and stone or a brick patio may be best.

Stone, brick and concrete pavers are available in a range of styles and colors and are durable. Remember that site preparation is important for drainage, grade and proper placement, and can be a lot of work for the DIYer. Weeds also can pose more of a problem with patios. When in doubt, leave it to a professional with the experience, not to mention equipment, you need.

Flagstone and concrete patios also are popular among home owners. Remember to allow for expansion, however, to prevent cracking. Cracking in concrete is inevitable, but it can be minimized with the proper installation.

12

Materials Matter Most decks are made of wood, ranging from pressuretreated pine and fir to more durable-and pricey­woods such as red cedar, redwoods and tropical hardwoods. No matter what the type, wood decks require maintenance and even then, with less expensive woods, swelling and warping will still occur over time. To reduce the amount of maintenance required, consider composite and vinyl decking. These materials are less susceptible to swelling and are more resistant to insects. The cost, however, can be significantly higher, particularly if coordinating railing and balustrade systems. Concrete decks, while much more expensive than wood or composite, are the most durable and require only the occasional pressure wash and periodic re­-sealing. And no longer just drab grey, concrete is now available in a nearly limitless variety of styles, colors and patterns.

Location, Location, Location Before beginning your outdoor project, assess your space.

Where do you have the best sunlight? Do you want to use your space for dining or grilling? If so, do you have a large enough area for tables and chairs? Is there one area of the yard that is quieter and has more privacy from neighbors?

A good home builder, remodeler or landscape architect can help you design a master plan that’s right for your space and your ideas.

Once your patio or deck is built, only your imagination limits the extent of your retreat. Plants, flowers, trellises, decorative screens, garden sculptures, fountains and furnishings can all enhance your backyard haven.

For a list of qualified professionals to help you get started on building your backyard getaway, contact the Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association at 715-835-2526 or at info@cvhomebuilders.com.

Hammers & Heels Returns in November

Building materials and fashion…they go together, right? Well, the Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association thinks so.

On November 2nd, 2017, the Hammers & Heels Fashion Show will be returning to the UW-Eau Claire Davies Center. In the show’s 2016 inaugural year, twelve models strutted the catwalk showcasing designs made from window screens, Tyvek house wrap, weather stripping, landscape fabric, irrigation tubing, paint swatches, shag carpeting, tile, paint lids, and much more! Thirteen different member businesses created the designs and found the models. The members which participated included contractors, a plumbing fixture store, an insurance agency, title companies, a flooring company, a window supplier, and a CPA firm among others!

inspiration came from similar events in Mankato and Rochester, Minnesota, after seeing the event featured through an article by the National Association of Home Builders. We were looking for a new fall event and there was nothing like this in the area.

We wanted an event that would stand out and be the talking piece of the Chippewa Valley.” And stand out it did! The event had over 200 people in attendance for its very first year and raised $5,000 to donate to the Chippewa Valley Habitat for Humanity and Hope Gospel Mission.

“The event was started to bring awareness to the housing industry in a different way, while raising money for some great non-profit associations in our community,” said Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association Executive Officer, Christina Thrun. “The

It took little time for the Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association to choose to put on the event again in 2017. This year, community members were able to cast their vote to choose a theme for the designs!

The choices were: Elements of Nature, Masquerade Ball, and Call of the Wild! Elements of Nature was the community favorite and we can’t wait to see how participants incorporate this theme into their designs! The recipients of this year’s fundraiser will be the Chippewa Valley Habitat for Humanity and Feed My People Food Bank. “The feedback and word of mouth coverage we’re still receiving about this event is amazing. We expect to see exponential growth in 2017,” Thrun said.

The Value of Efficiency and Organization

By Jenny Souza, Beyond Closets, LLC While often overlooked, storage can be one of the most crucial elements to a happy, healthy, and organized living space. But all too often, storage is used in homes and offices to conceal the piles of clutter that don’t have a designated “place.” However, many homeowners and homebuyers are starting to catch on to the closet and storage trends that have been sweeping the market within the past four years.

A study conducted by real estate website Zillow.com says closets have been the number two most-requested amenity since 2013.

Incorporating storage into your home saves time and money.

Staying organized is not easy, and understanding the value of efficient storage solutions can make the difference between a cluttered home and an orderly masterpiece. Whether creating his and hers’ personal walk-in closets, elegant display spaces for prized collections, or sorting shopaholic finds, homeowners welcome options for organizing their homes to fit their lifestyles.

While homes may have set floorplans for the kitchen, pantries, bedrooms, mudrooms or laundry areas, storage can be designed to enhance the efficiency of unused space and create more dynamic areas that speak to the homeowner’s lifestyle and preferences. Storage and organization systems have come a long way with modular, flexible options that can be tailored to the homeowner’s needs.

Did you know having a well-designed walk-in closet in the master bedroom is one of the most sought-after features in a new home? The key to benefitting from luxury storage is to use them productively, not just as a design component but also as a functional foundation. Special accessories and

storage design features can help you utilize your space and give you the best solution for your needs.

Clutter and chaos are not words you want associated with your home. According to U.S. News and World Report, the average American spends one year of their life looking for lost or misplaced items. Finding extra storage in any room involves a touch of creativity, especially when a growing number of people are opting for smaller living spaces.

The utilization of space is becoming much more important than how much actual space exists. Incorporating welldesigned interior spaces with high-quality storage solutions allow everyone to go about their day-to-day activities without extra stress. Organized spaces allow us to remain on the go with minimal searching and panicking over missing items.

When you’re not wasting time searching through papers and laundry, it can be spent doing more important things – soebdubg time with family.

If in the future, you would decide to sell your home, storage upgrades like built-in closets, bookshelves, kitchen, and garage organizer systems will attract more buyers. The value of your home increases when there are large, efficient storage systems already installed. A majority of new homebuyers want simplified lifestyles, and they recognize the market’s growing standards and value of storage. Many buyers seek move-in ready spaces, and are more apt to reconsider properties where they don’t need to augment or retrofit the storage situation themselves. Just remember, when creating an efficient, well-organized home to always think beyond the closet!

Premiere Home

Brunkow Builders, Inc. The Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association (CVHBA) is proud to present this year’s Premiere Home, Brunkow Builder’s 2017 Parade Home at E7130 County Road YYY, Strum. Be sure to stop out and visit this beautiful home just south of Brackett.

The Premiere celebration and gathering is the kick-off event for the Parade, and is held at a different home each year. The Premiere home is carefully selected by the CVHBA Parade Chairs, based on craftsmanship, neighborhood, location and quality of construction.

Brunkow Builders has a long history as a premier custom home builder in the Chippewa Valley. Carl Brunkow started the business in 1972 and soon developed a great reputation for quality construction and excellence in service. Lance Brunkow grew up working for his father every summer - learning the business from the end of a saw or hammer. In 1990 he graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Stout with a degree in Construction Management. He left the area for 3 years to work as a project engineer for a large commercial / industrial contractor, but then moved back to Eau Claire and began working alongside his father in the family business. After Carl Brunkow retired in 1998, Lance Brunkow took over Brunkow Builders, Inc. Brunkow Builders is committed to building beautiful, quality homes and making the home-building experience positive for their customers from beginning to end.

Located just 8 miles south of Brackett, Brunkow Builders’ Parade Home is located in the heart of beautiful rolling hills, fields and forests with stunning views of the countryside. A brick and stone exterior welcomes you to a country classic interior where custom columns introduce a vaulted great room ceiling enhanced by rustic beams that frame the Estate Stone floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The hand made walnut mantle expresses the rustic qualities you will find throughout the home. As you continue into the dining area with a shiplap poplar vaulted ceiling, enjoy scenic panoramic views also visualized from the corner windows of the kitchen. Moving from the kitchen, check out the pantry with sliding barn door and laundry that leads you to the back porch with a wash station for muddy boots, vegetables or even a pet shower!

20

The master suite allows access from its balcony to the covered back deck and includes a vaulted ceiling, recessed full length mirrored cabinet and entry into the master bath.

As you make your way to the lower level, be sure to notice the heated, stained and buffed concrete floors that are unique and easy to clean. Make sure you don’t miss a stop to the wine cellar. As you walk through the house, notice the beautiful cabinetry; hardwood floors; ceramic, porcelain and glass tile; Cambria counter tops; plumbing fixutres; bath accessories and window shades...all of these extraordinary features came from Gerhard’s Kitchen and Bath Store.
