Okay, so this may sound like a bit of a rant, but here goes:  Mother Nature doesn't make things in a factory.  What comes out of a quarry one day, won't be the same as what is found the following day.  In short, natural materials are intrinsically variable in their appearance, and this is what gives them their unique beauty.  But it's also what frustrates some of our clients!

Who doesn't enjoy hanging out on a covered porch, sipping lemonade while the kids play in the front yard? Though they're enjoyable, until recently the decking (flooring) materials for covered porches have been maintenance headaches.  Traditionally, decking was made from pine which was painted with oil based paint.  With the phase-out of oil based paint, however, decay and rot in pine decking became more prevalent so other materials were sought.

The most important thing to consider when you’re thinking about building or buying a place to call home is YOU.

How to choose a builderWith so much to consider, where do you start your builder search? The simplest place to start is with pure aesthetics. First find a number of companies that have built homes that you love.  It’s a simple way to narrow down your list. If you gravitate towards a particular style, you may want to include builders that specialize in those areas, such as Craftsman, Prairie, Victorian, etc.
