Energy efficient Richmond new homes saves you more than money.

Crisp, juicy apple. Fuji apples are my favorite, though Gala is a close second. Every year I look forward to taking my family on a day trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains to enjoy a day at the orchard, picking apples. Air is fresh, landscape is breath taking, acres of apple trees ready to pick – everything is picture perfect, even the picnic. If life is measured in moments, then these moments are at the top of life’s experiences. Preserving this experience needs to be for all generations, for this reason Boone Homes, is now building Richmond new homes with ENERGY STAR® features.

Boone builds new homes on prime Richmond real estate with ENERGY STAR® features and, last year alone, saved more than 24 acres of trees because of the new home technology built into every home during the construction phase. How did we save over 24 acres of trees? Easy. We changed a few small details in how we build a home to make it very energy efficient: Efficient enough to be able to say we save 38 and 45 percent of your annual energy bill. This saved energy allows us to avoid having to harvest 24 acres of trees. Not bad.

Boone Homes builds high performance homes in every community as a standard feature. These homes sport construction technology that is 10 years ahead of the current housing market. At Boone, we realize that just because the home is situated on prime real estate doesn’t mean it is a high performance home.

For a personalized tour of a luxury high performance new home built by Boone Homes, call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760. When you purchase a new home from Boone you can feel good about being in a home built with technology designed to save trees – especially apple orchards.

Richmond real estate built with today's technology.

The most valuable asset you will ever purchase is Richmond real estate. Not just because of the financial implications, but because of the emotional implications as well. The power of memories adorn the walls of your home, making the thought of separation as difficult as leaving a sick friend. Each passing moment your ill friend, your home, is getting worse. Energy costs are rising, your friend is hard to cool and heat. Maintenance is increasing: your friend needs paint and maybe even a new roof. Your friend is also behind the times. Connecting your friend to television was easy….

Richmond home builder, Boone Homes, specializes in new friends: new homes that are not ailing because of a lack of technology. Each one of our homes is built to ENERGY STAR® specifications, ensuring the technology used in your home will efficiently run your home for years to come.

You’ve heard the buzz about green, you’ve heard the hype of high performance – how good can a new friend (home) really be? Great question. The technology we use to build ENERGY STAR® homes has, last year alone, done the equivalent of removing 1,470 vehicles from the road. New home technology reducing smog – not bad. Couple that statistic with how the same homes have reduced the consumption of 88,920 pounds of coal and the impress-o-meter goes up. Stack the statistical cherry on top with the preservation of 24.3 acres of trees and we now have a “full” impress-o-meter. Our next few posts will detail how we can raise gauge on the impress-o-meter with new home technology. 

In the mean time, if you would like a tour of a Boone Homes’ ENERGY STAR® home, then come visit one of our model homes. Or, for a personalized tour call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760. Tours are free. Friends are forever. Come tour today.

ENERGY STAR® Richmond new homes promote sustainability.

The most concerned people to look at our Richmond new homes are the environmentalists. Global impact starts and ends at home. The size, impact and footprint of each new home are scrutinized with a critical eye. Where does the material come from? How does the material impact the ecosystem? All of these great questions are addressed by how we build each new home.

Boone Homes began partnering with ENERGY STAR® a few years back; and last year, we built 30 ENERGY STAR® homes. These homes are significantly more eco-friendly than other new homes on the market, and vastly more efficient than homes 5 years or older. How efficient? Great question.

Our non-scientific comparison of a home’s heating and cooling bills showed us that one of our 4,300 square foot homes can be 45 percent or more energy efficient than similar homes that are not built to ENERGY STAR® specifications. When we compared the ENERGY STAR® homes to older homes, the results were astounding.

What do savings like these mean? Glad you asked. We did the math on the 30 ENERGY STAR® homes we built last year and the savings equals:

• 1,470 vehicles removed from the road
• 88,920 pounds of coal unburned
• 24.3 acres of trees left standing
• $54,000 + a year savings in heating and cooling costs.

Not bad.

The guilt has been taken right out of luxury. For a personalized tour of a no maintenance ENERGY STAR® home or a luxury ENERGY STAR® home by Richmond home builder Boone Homes, call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760.

Boone Homes believes in quality luxury homes in Richmond that you can depend on.

The most dependable people around, for the most part, are those in the armed services. Whether by air, by land or by sea you can see responsibility in every step they take. The personnel from the armed services know who they can depend on and who has their backs. Being able to rely on the person who is standing on either side is imperative. Not being able to rely on a person can be costly in both equipment and lives. The person at your side had better be there and be competent enough to handle anything coming their way. This attitude and level of expectation carries over into civilian life, and Richmond new home builder Boone Homes knows this.

We have built many homes for personnel in the armed forces. Each home built is scrutinized to the same depth as a comrade in arms. Will the home hold up under pressure? Boone Homes is proud to announce that we settle 99.6 percent of all homes defect free.

Boone Homes’ ratio of reliability will even give the most dependable branch of the armed forces a run for their money. Beyond settlement, Boone has a team of service personnel working to correct the other .4 percent.  At Boone Homes, we believe in quality luxury homes in Richmond that you can depend on. 

Boone Homes has been building quality new homes in the Richmond area for more than 30 years. Homes range in size from 2,000 square feet in a villa to almost 5,000 square feet in an estate home. Each home is built as if it were our own.

For a personalized tour of a luxurious and dependable Boone Home new home neighborhood, please call Chris at 804.218.7760. Come or call today. Come be a part of a tradition of reliability and quality.

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.  

Boone Homes has been building quality custom luxury homes in Richmond for more than 30 years. We build new homes on prime real estate in some of Richmond’s most sought after school districts. Each day we faithfully perform the basics which have grown our success to what it is today.

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: Reliability

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.

Reliability is key to those in the medical profession, as they are also held to an extremely high standard.  Every doctor and specialist knows how important it is to consistently perform at the top of their abilities. Life hangs in the balance. Doctors know how to judge consistency.

Boone Homes has been building luxury new homes in the Richmond area for more than 30 years. We build each home as if it were their very own. For a personalized tour of a Boone Home call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760. Boone Homes attracts professionals with experience, because experience lives here.

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. 

We have built luxury homes in Richmond for more than 30 years. Each home is designed by award-winning architects, and built with care and precision, as if it were our own. No time to build? We have plenty of quick occupancy homes that are fully built or almost finish and ready for you to move your family in. Our goal with the quick occupancy homes is to give you a place where you can expect the best and know you are getting it. The new home communities in Richmond are all located on prime real estate near the most desirable schools, shopping and entertainment.

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.  

We have built quality no maintenance luxury homes Richmond for more than 30 years. Each home is built with the watchful care of our superbly trained superintendents, selections coordinators and architects. Our goal for each home is to build it as if it were our very own.

We have five no maintenance communities throughout the Richmond area. With homes starting in the high-$300.000s there is sure to be a home that will fit your needs. All the homes in these no maintenance communities are designed for first floor living.

Come and experience today what a no maintenance lifestyle can mean for you. For a personalized tour of a no maintenance community call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760 for more information.

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.

The second group of people interested in Richmond no maintenance homes is the active adult.  Active adults, in many cases, are semi-engaged in business, though only for personal entertainment. Plans of the active adult include traveling, dining, vineyard tours and quiet conversations after the visiting grandchildren are in bed. The active adult realizes how much more of life there is to experience and how little the dull vibration and hum of a mower play into this scheme.  

In considering a no maintenance lifestyle, you will be looking first hand at acquainting yourself with yourself. Sounds odd as you may have spent much of life caring for others.

For a personalized tour of a Boone Homes no maintenance neighborhood, please call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760. Call today. Your plan for experiencing life awaits you.
