Richmond new homes built for the meticulous eye.

When an engineer looks at one of our Richmond new homes, he or she sees deeper than most new home buyers. The depth of the engineers’ perception lies within their strength and understanding of how a home should work. Their eye meticulously scans the patterns of material placement, the lines of symmetry and structural components. Each joint, measurement, location and bearing is instantly analyzed in the mechanical mind, effusing a message of integrity and safety throughout the senses.

Yes, Boone Homes has sold many new homes to engineers who have scrutinized every inch of a new home and the process we use to build the new home. We are not afraid to be subjected to such scrutiny. Our process is not bullet proof, but no one in the Richmond area can build a custom home with the speed and accuracy of our proven process. Each home is built as if it were our own. Superintendents know how to speed up a process and keep the quality high, just as they know when to slow down the process and focus on the quality that our discriminating customers have come to expect. Process. From the time the agreement is signed to the time settlement is done on the home, we focus on making the process as enjoyable and smooth as possible.  http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif (more…)

Who lives in a Boone home?

A Boone Homes’ community of Richmond new homes is filled with experience: Vast experience. In fact, many of our residents work in the medical profession. Family practice doctors and specialists in a variety of medical fields reside in our new homes. Why does Boone Homes have such a high level of buyers who are in the medical field? This is a great question. In conversations with doctors and medical professionals after they moved into their new home I found a couple reoccurring themes.

Reason number one: Reliabilityhttp://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif

The confidence in how we build and deliver a home is superior to that of any other builder of luxury homes in Richmond priced from the $400,000s and up. Our superintendents monitor each step during the construction of the home, ensuring the best practices in the construction industry are applied to each phase. The superintendent also walks the home observing the labor of each contractor with a critical eye. Prior to when our buyers move in to their new homes, the superintendent reviews a list of “punch” items and corrects them, delivering a defect free home 99.6 percent of the time. No other new home builder in Richmond can match this percentage of delivering homes defect free.

Richmond new homes offer unique lifestyle.

Every community of Richmond new homes has a unique profile. The blend of architecture speaks to the nature of the community. Each home, new or used, represents a voice, a style and a lifestyle. Some homes express a carefree attitude, eclectic artistry, or can even say “I’m the best there has ever been.” A new Boone home has just as many things to say, and we are going to explore the statements we make with each new home over the next few posts.

There is another dynamic at play in each community. The architecture is as diverse as the blend of personalities living in those homes. Accountants, doctors, lawyers, athletes, executives and more all blend in a community that matches the attitude of the new homes’ architecture, quality, location, amenities and convenience. Communities with walking trails, pools, clubhouses, playgrounds, tennis courts and sidewalks when added to the architecture all speak to the emotion of each buyer, establishing an instant connection. http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif (more…)

Experiencing the Lifestyle of Richmond No Maintenance Homes, Conclusion

Friday, April 13th, 2012
no maintenance homes

Schedule a relaxing dinner, not strenuous exterior maintenance, into your schedule.

The capstone reason for purchasing Richmond no maintenance homes is the freedom to experience life. This freedom to experience life does not happen by accident. It is deliberate, intentional, by design. Your freedom from the routine of yard maintenance like mowing, fertilizing, aerating and irrigating is measured by how you use the new time to build and create new experiences. In a no maintenance home, you get to skip cleaning the gutter and instead enjoy an extra appetizer washed down with a few sips of wine. Or, trade the rake for a nine iron and an extra nine holes. Gone are the days of shoveling snow: in a no maintenance home you can enjoy a sunny cruise to exotic lands instead.

Each action comes with a reaction. In the case of a no maintenance home, the reaction is more time to experience life. Who doesn’t want more time to experience life?

Life is measured in moments and experiences. If the beach is calling, lock the house and leave the maintenance to someone else. A no maintenance home is designed specifically for you to be able to lock the home and enjoy the gift of time.  http://www.boonehomesblog.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif (more…)

Exploring Richmond New Homes with a No Maintenance Lifestyle, Part 4

no maintenance homes

No lawnmower required at our no maintenance communities.

Each of our communities of Richmond new homes has a unique style, atmosphere and culture. Understanding this culture will help you once you move into the community and start getting settled in. It is best to enter the community with an understanding of who will be living along side of you.  There is no age restriction in our maintenance-free communities. So, who is most likely to purchase a new home in a no maintenance community? Great question. Those most attracted to the no maintenance lifestyle are from a varied professional background, but fall in one of two groups.

The first group tends to be made up of active professionals who do not wish to be hindered by routines. Active professionals consume most of their time conquering the business world at the office or the home office, and cannot spare a waking moment to clean gutters. No one can replace a yard and the enjoyment of walking through a completely cared for yard with a glass of lemonade. The mere thought rejuvenates the soul. Cleaning the gutters distracts from the relaxation – maintenance should be left to others. (more…)

Single-level Living: Richmond New Homes with a No Maintenance lifestyle, Part 3

Richmond no maintenance homes with convenience of single-level living.

One of the greatest gifts given by Richmond new homes with no maintenance lifestyles, beyond the gift of time, is the gift of one-level living. Each of our no maintenance communities is designed specifically to keep all the main characteristics of the home on the first floor, starting with the home site. Before any home is built on its site, the terrain is graded to ensure each home can minimize steps into the home.

Just one look and you’ll see that each home has between three and five steps. This number of steps can be achieved by no other means than by spending vast amounts of money to grade the terrain of the neighborhood. No other new home builder in the Richmond area will go to the same lengths to ensure ease of entrance and exit from a no maintenance home. (more…)
