London Olympics and New Homes in Richmond

Monday, July 30th, 2012
London Olympics

Boone Homes builds new homes in Richmond with Olympic resolve.

Gold medals are being handed out at the Olympics to athletes who have stood above the crowd in their field. Runners, jumpers, swimmers and a bevy of other athletes have refined their skill over the last few years with the idea of competing. Every drop of sweat, every sore muscle, every move has been timed, analyzed and perfected to gain world class status. If one is to compete at the level of the Olympics, then a regimen must be followed – and Olympic Resolve. There is much in Common with the Olympics and new homes in Richmond.

New home builders in Richmond, where Boone Homes has been building new homes for more than 30 years, have a lot in common with the Olympics. Every day at Boone Homes we regimen our steps, refine our processes and focus our efforts to offering award winning designs and lifestyles. Though it doesn’t sound like an Olympic feat with a world record attached, at Boone Homes we can say the work doesn’t end after 4 years of training. After 30 years of building new homes in Richmond, we can sincerely say improvement never ends. (more…)

Sidewalks Add Value to Richmond Neighborhood

Saturday, July 28th, 2012
Boone Homes community features

Richmond new home communities with sidewalks

What do sidewalks contribute to a Richmond neighborhood? Is there a value to a sidewalk? As one of Richmond’s premier new home builders, we say yes and have several reasons we can share.

Sidewalks provide a community with a source for health. Being able to take a walk through the community without having to drive somewhere allows one to instantly reduce calories after a meal or spend energy prior to winding down for the evening.

Sidewalks provide a community with a source of safety. The walk to the neighborhood playground is much safer with the children on a sidewalk. Energy can be burned off on the way to the park as well as at the park.

Sidewalks provide a community with a source of friendship. Best of friends can congregate and tour a community while carrying on a quiet and intimate conversation without having to concentrate or be interrupted with traffic. (more…)

Richmond Real Estate with One Extra Room

Thursday, July 26th, 2012
owner's suite

Richmond real estate designed for relaxation.

What do you look for when shopping for Richmond real estate? A relaxing space to retreat to at the end of a long day? The picture seems to indicate a family room with décor for the relaxing moments and doubling as a space for entertainment. Imagination wanders as one thinks of late night television shows curled up on the couch while the buttery smell of popcorn flows through the room. The picture is deceiving. This is not a family room, but an extra room designed for the end-of-the-day wind down and attached to the owner’s suite. The picture actually shows the sitting room attached through a private hallway to the owner’s suite. At Boone Homes, we call the room the retreat.

Retreat. Distance yourself from the day. Retreat. Escape into a book without being observed. Retreat. Hide from daily demands. Rejuvenate. Fill back up the empty reserves desperately struggling through the desert of daily activity. Renew. Allow the quiet solace to illuminate the path back into ambition – tomorrow’s ambition. (more…)

Details in Richmond New Homes

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

Howard Inspects Boone Home

What separates a good home builder of Richmond new homes from a great home builder? Details. Details, the little details are the ones that drive homeowners to madness. Each item, though small, carries weight and grows disproportionately in weight as time passes. Soon, the detail becomes a burden, a cross and eventually a homeowner crusade. New homes in Richmond are at their best when the details are tended and covered. Having built new homes in Richmond for more than 30 years, Boone Homes know this and has a process in place to ensure homes are delivered defect free. The process is clear, the procedure defined and the results are measurable. Because of our new home process, Boone Homes delivers 99.7 percent of all our homes defect free.

I’m sure the questions is, “How?” Easy. Our people are reliable and deliver. Notice in the above picture how Edward, Boone Homes VP of Production, is hands on ensuring the final details are covered as this home prepares for the settlement process. No detail is out of his purview or beyond his control. His careful eye watches each detail of the new home as he walks the halls of each home to inspect the details. Edward knows how important details are. Not only how important details are to Boone, but how important they details are to new homeowners. (more…)

Vacations, Water Heaters and New Homes in Richmond

New homes in Richmond with tankless water heaters

Vacations from your new homes in Richmond bring about the perpetual “what if” question posed by the water heater. Ever heard the question? It goes something like this: What if the water heater tank bursts when I am 400 miles away enjoying (insert your vaction destination here)? Ever crossed your mind? I’m sure it has not. Only the fatalists usually think of this little destructive question – that is until it has happened to you or someone you know. The first little drops go undetected, the pin hole leak begins to show, the water level drops only to be filled again and soon you have a neighbor wondering why your home is leaking water through the front door.

In our last post we discussed how shutoffs conveniently placed in a Richmond new home can bring value to a vacation. In this post we will discuss how a tankless water heater also adds value to your new home in Richmond and to your vacation.

As the picture shows, a tankless water heater can hang on the walls because the weight of a tank full of water does not exist. The water is heated on demand as it flows through the heater toward the source requesting the hot water. There is no stored water to keep reheating when away, no stored water to corrode a tank and no stored water that can destroy the inside of your home when you are on vacation. Not only is a tankless water heater perfect for the household with teenagers, as the demand for water determines how much water is heated, but it is also perfect for the household who wants to take a worry-free vacation.  No draining needed.   (more…)

Water Shutoffs in your New Homes in Richmond Enhance Your Vacation

Water Shutoffs in our New Homes in Richmond

Vacation is upon us and the office calendar countdown has begun. Big red “X” mark the days as the countdown ensues with coveted anticipation. Vacation. Whether you spend your coveted relaxation on the beach, in the mountains, on a cruise or remote island, all of us want to make sure our prized possession, our new homes in Richmond, is safe while we double down enjoying the fruits of justified relaxation.

At Boone Homes, we realize your need to escape the comfort of your castle periodically to detoxify from your heavy workload. Because of this need, we have tailored a few items in each Boone Home to allow for you to leave with peace of mind. One such detail which normally escapes the scrutiny is the location of our water shutoffs. Most builders locate their water shutoffs under the home, in a crawl space which can be difficult to access. Boone Homes, on the other hand, locates the shutoffs in the garage where they are easily accessible without having to crawl around. Also notice there are two shutoffs. This is specifically designed so you can turn off your house water, but leave the water spigots and programmable irrigation system running so you don’t come home to a yard that has suffered while you enjoyed a week of drinks with mini-umbrellas. It pays to buy a Boone Home.  (more…)
