Thor's Thoughts

Greetings!

When you decide to custom build, you’re not just constructing a house, you’re creating a home. It’s that place where you’ll relax after a stressful day at work, entertain friends, and make cherished memories with loved ones. It is an exciting adventure and can be one of the best decisions you’ll make for your or your family. From a dog’s perspective, it’s always fun to see and explore new places.  

Here are a few of the benefits of building a custom home:

Everything is brand new. A big perk of building a custom home is that it’s constructed with modern materials and accessorized with the latest appliances and fixtures. This reduces the risk of surprise repairs down the road as builders are required to adhere to current codes and regulations.

The home is more energy efficient. Modern windows, better insulation, more efficient heating, and cooling, and appliances that use less electricity and water could potentially save you hundreds of dollars every year. (More money to buy those dog treats!)

Finally, choosing to custom build provides you with a one-of-a-kind home that’s as unique as you are. It’s an opportunity to fashion a living space that reflects your personal style and taste. New construction allows you to customize every detail and, therefore, eliminate renovation costs later on. Most importantly, you’ll have a quality home that can be enjoyed for generations. 

One of the most important pieces in the new construction home process is to find a builder that is trustworthy and prioritizes communication as well as collaboration. At VPC, we strive for quality craftsmanship and creative custom design. If you are interested in building a new home, please give our office a call at 828-295-0707 or email us at info@vpcbuilders.com.
To conclude, here is a little dog wisdom:

“Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.


-- John Wooden
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow
will be our doubts of today.”

--Franklin D. Roosevelt
