The excitement of a new home - there is nothing quite like it. A new home is your home - designed, constructed and finished just for YOU. Today's new homes offer more usable space, more closets, more natural light, better construction and the piece of mind of a superb warranty. However, new homes do not offer more of everything! In a new home there is less maintenance, less repairs, lower heating costs, and less impact on the environment. Stop looking around for an existing home that "sort of fits what you are looking for." Why not consider a new home that you can have tailored and custom designed to exactly what you are looking for. Thanks to new technologies and building products, new home buyers are getting a better home today than they were several years ago. At the same time, they enjoy greater choice and more features at all price levels, along with an unprecedented level of builder service. Only a new home offers you the opportunity to select the features and options that will make the home uniquely yours - from carpets and paint to kitchen cupboards and layout. Most builders will customize the home to suit your particular requests. This means that your new home will be designed specifically for your life style and built to reflect your individual touch and character. Today's new homes emphasize maximum light and spaciousness. New homes have floor plans and amenities often not found in older homes such as soaring ceilings, ample closet space, main floor laundry rooms, home offices, and other similar features. Thanks to the new technologies in building products on the market, new home buyers are getting a better quality home today than in the past. Today's new homes are better insulated then ever before. High efficiency furnaces and high performance windows result in increased indoor comfort and, of course, lower energy bills. Ventilation systems are now standard in most new homes, creating a healthier living environment inside the house. Full height basement insulation was introduced in 1993 together with foundation leak-proofing measures. This ensures your new home will have warm and dry conditions below-grade. All new homes have smoke detectors wired in to the home's electrical system (no more changing batteries!) and many homes also have a carbon monoxide detector. Because everything in a new house is NEW, most new homes will not need any significant maintenance for 15 years or more. Due to low maintenance materials such as vinyl clad windows, aluminium soffits, brick construction, improved roofing products, and better foundation drainage systems, you will find that today's new homes require much less maintenance than homes built as recently as five or ten years ago. Only new homes offer a complete warranty for your security and piece of mind. Buyers in Ontario get the best warranty protection in North America. In Ontario, it is legally mandatory that every new home be covered by the Ontario New Home Warranty Program. Included is deposit protection up to $20,000, and extensive protection for up to seven years. In the unlikely event that it is necessary to contact the warranty program for service, they have an office right here in Ottawa. In the home building business we often here the refrain "They don't build them like they use to." Well...... it's true. They build them BETTER. But don't take our word for it - go see for yourself. |
