MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2011 By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President

Why Hire a Custom Home Builder?

Custom homes can help provide you with some great solutions to everyday lifestyle problems as well as being unique, individualized, and high in value. If you think hiring a custom home builder is too much of an extravagance or a monumental task – Think again… It can prove to be worth far more than you can

imagine. So before you dismiss the idea, here are some great reasons to consider it. Solutions What's so great about hiring a custom home builder? Having your home individualized to your exact preferences and specifications means more solutions for your issues.

There are many different types of people who can benefit from a well designed and well built home especially those with special needs such physical disabilities, people with pets, or even people with many children. Need larger doorframes to move a wheelchair or walker through? Perhaps you'd prefer a home with several bathrooms. Exercise enthusiast? A professional builder can set you up with your own personal gym. Whatever solutions you want, you can have built. Unique A home represents you as a person, which is why hiring a custom home builder can help you best express your individuality. Many people must settle for a home due to financial circumstances, loca-

tion, or a lack of options. A professional can help you make the most of your property. Desperate for a craftsman bungalow but can't find one for sale in your area? These are reasons to call on the aid of a professional in the business of home construction. Value When you buy a house on the market, do you really know if you're getting your money's worth? Home values fluctuate greatly and are many times artificially inflated. A savvy seller can also talk up their home quite a bit. By choosing a custom home builder, you are in control of your property's value. You will know exactly where

each dollar is going and can make budget calls as you see fit. You also will know how genuine everything in your home is, from wooden floors to marble countertops. Don't rely on someone else to tell you the value of your home when you can choose it for yourself. Advantage Although often times when a person chooses a custom home builder they are planning on making their dream property and not selling, you can still make a handsome profit if you take advantage of your situation. A custom home means you can tailor it to fit the location and potential future market perfectly. There are

many desirable places where older homes simply don't match up to buyer's needs or expectations. You can capitalize on this. Develop your knowledge of the area you plan to build, create a plan with specifications, and hire a custom home builder to execute your plan accordingly. The Moore County Home Builders Association consists of building industry professionals eager to build your home. Whether you are building your dream home or an investment property, the members of our association will make your vision a reality.

Thanks to historically low home prices and interest rates as well as advances in design and construction, many homebuyers are finding that newly constructed homes offer the greatest value. Here are the top five reasons buyers are choosing new over previously owned homes: 1. CUSTOMIZATION: One of the biggest advantages of buying a new home is the ability to decorate it from the “ground up.” You don’t have to paint over the previous owner’s strange wall colors or replace worn carpeting. In addition to hand-selecting interior finishes and materials, buyers are frequently permitted to dictate the placement of electrical outlets and lighting fixtures. 2. CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN: As consumer trends and tastes evolve, builders can quickly respond with adapt-

“I will provide an outstanding mortgage experience from application to closing”

able floorplans that provide open kitchens, flex-space rooms, and walk-in closets to accommodate a specific buyer’s needs. 3. ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Advances in key components such as windows, HVAC systems, and insulation mean that new homes consume about half as much energy as homes built before 1980. This translates to lower utility bills, higher resale value, and a more ecofriendly home. 4. BUILDER WARRANTY: To protect buyers from unforeseen problems, most builders provide a warranty which typically covers the overall structure, mechanical systems and materials used in the home. Warranty

periods can last up to ten years. 5. BETTER QUALITY: Because of innovative building materials and improved construction techniques, new homes require less upkeep and can save owners thousands in lower maintenance costs.

An easy way to save 15 percent on utility bills

PAGE D6

(ARA) - Saving money around the house continues to be a major pursuit for homeowners nationwide. And with a focus on going green, savvy homeowners are looking for ways to cut energy use to reduce utility bills and their home's carbon footprint. There are dozens of ways to curb energy use around the home. Sealing drafts by applying caulk and weather-stripping around windows and doors, and applying foam sealer around drafty outlets and piping leading outside can save up to 5 percent on heating costs alone. Most important, installing the proper amount of attic insulation with the proper airflow is generally the best way to save on home energy use. If you are among the millions of Americans who enjoy do-it-yourself home improve-

ment projects, installing a radiant barrier in the attic space above your home is one of the most effective energy-saving projects to consider. While radiant barriers are not a new concept, new products on the market are making it easier for homeowners to install them and realize reductions in their energy bills each month. Overall, a radiant barrier can save an average homeowner up to 15 percent on utility bills. The benefits of installing a radiant barrier have long been known by professionals in the construction, roofing, heating and cooling and energy industries, says Rick Jordan of EcoRite Products, a major radiant barrier manufacturer. Only recently have products been manufactured specifically for the DIY installer market. Jordan explains that

a radiant barrier is a product that is installed in the attic between the rafters on the underside of a roof - to reduce the radiant heat gain that permeates a home when the sun is beating down on it. Radiant barrier, a particularly effective product for summer months, also reduces heat loss from a roof during the winter, reducing the workload on your furnace and lowering your heating bill. Early, less-effective versions of radiant barriers included spray-on metallic paint, reflective chips or products known simply as "attic foil." Installation was cumbersome, often requiring special tools, adhesives or multiple installers, and the low flash point on the older type of foil created added dangers in the event of a house fire.

Installation of Enerflex Radiant Barrier can be completed in a matter of hours with no special tools required.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2011

Easy to install Enerflex Radiant Barrier panels help reduce heating and cooling cost by reflecting up to 96 percent of the sun’s radiant energy.

It's important to choose a radiant barrier that is Energy Star-approved and made of metalized film, not perforated aluminum foil. Today's radiant barriers are far more sophisticated, yet some are so simple to install that no tools are required. Enerflex Radiant Barrier is an example of new radiant barrier technology. The product is available nationwide through a network of lumber and building materials dealers, as well as through major retailers. The product is Energy Star-approved and was named one of the "Best New Products of 2010" by Professional Remodeler, a leading trade magazine. Enerflex Radiant Barrier comes in rolls or panels, pre-cut for 16inch and 24-inch widths for installation ease. The radiant bar-

rier panels literally flex or "snap" into place between the rafters, with no tools needed. This makes it possible for installation to be a simple, one-person, do-it-yourself job that can be completed in a matter of hours. "Studies on installed radiant barrier products show that attic temperatures are typically reduced by a full 30 percent during the summer months, which can translate to 30 degrees on a hot summer day," says B.J. Damstra of Universal Forest Products, one of the nation's largest building products manufacturers. "In really hot climates, homeowners are finding additional uses for radiant barriers. In Texas and Arizona, for example, homeowners keep garages cool by installing the product on the inside of garage

doors and walls. Outbuildings on farms or ranches, or outdoor workshops can also be kept cooler in the summer when the product is installed between rafters under the roof," Damstra says. Jordan of EcoRite Products says adding a radiant barrier in the cooler months makes installation safe and more comfortable for the installer. Radiant barriers are a safe, proven tool for reducing energy bills and reducing the strain on a home's HVAC system. And when you can spend a few hours over a weekend and complete a project that saves money month after month, it's hard to ignore the benefits. Visit www.enerflexfoil.com for more information on radiant barriers or to find a retailer in your area.
