Custom Home Building Tips!

Kick Out Roof Flashing, What Is It And Why It's Vital To Stop Roof Leaks!

Custom Home Building is all about the details! There are thousands of them. Kick out roof flashing is just another one of those details that experienced Builders know to look for when constructing your home. It keeps rain water from going behind the exterior wall materials (stucco, siding, stone etc.) and causing water leaks and longterm damage. It's a feature that you may not appreciate the day you move into your home but one you will for years to come. That is unless your Builder neglected this vital detail.

Have an awesome day!

Tired Of Cooking Without Enough Light? Learn How To Properly Illuminate A Kitchen.

Sometimes we find that the way we always did something is entirely wrong! Placing ceiling, down lights, in the kitchen traffic areas only works when nobody is actually working in the kitchen. It looks great on the building plans but it's impractical.

If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!

Smart Technology For Homes It's Finally Here?

Smart Technology For Homes It's Finally Here?

For more that 20 years we've heard, the smart home is coming, the smart home is coming! There have been a number of false starts but this time for sure, it's finally here. Lol.

Why am I convinced this time smart home technology is here to stay? The "Smart Phone" has literally changed everything. Smart technology is no longer just for the younger generation and geeks, it's now mainstream. Frankly, the IPhone was the first to lead the charge with other companies quickly on their heals. Now that consumers have grown accustomed to smart phones they want the same technology on their homes. It usually starts with a smart TV and thermostats.

Have an awesome day!
