Free Up Your Time with No Maintenance Richmond New Homes
The sounds of fall are in the air around your Richmond new homes. A constant scratching sound of leaf raking, the high pitch whine of the leaf blower and the grunting of the aerator can be heard throughout the town. The evenings are filled with pain medication, blisters and groaning. Ah, fall is in the air. Now to enjoy the pain fully, we will make this weekend a yard maintenance marathon – unless you live in one of our no maintenance communities.
If you live one of our no maintenance new home communities, then you can schedule the French/Italian cooking class being offered by the county’s adult education program, or start preparing for the holidays.
Each of our no maintenance communities is designed to allow you to spend more time experiencing life. Experiencing life to the fullest does not need to include blisters. Because of this no blister concept, we have intentionally designed homes to maximize lifestyle. Every home built in a no maintenance community is designed for one-level living with all of the main characteristics of great design on the first floor. These first-floor characteristics include the owner’s suite, study or second bedroom, living room, formal dining room and luxurious kitchen. The second floor is designed for the occasional guest, holiday company and visits from family.(more…)
There are dangers in catching a knife as it drops. The danger is in securely grasping the handle instead of the blade. There are repercussions for missing the handle, some of which could be painful. What would some of those repercussions be? The repercussions of missing your mark and grasping the falling blade can be measured in either adhesive bandages or lengthy visit to the Emergency Room. Sounds like the risk of catching a falling knife are not worth the reward.
Similarly in the Richmond custom homes market, catching a fabulous deal on a used home comes with a set of repercussions. The repercussions could be as simple as the need for maintenance or as profound and catastrophic as reconstruction. The value of a used home needs to be inspected with a keen eye, determining more than the initial cost of homeownership.
What will the cost be to raise the home’s standards of safety, structural integrity and modernization? Will the extra expense of raising the standards increase the value of the home compared to the surrounding homes in the neighborhood? Or, will the extra cost be like catching a dropping knife?

School is in full session, the kids have left their new homes in Richmond (at least for the day) to learn all that they can and vacation is now in the records of history. The future holds a variety of tests, quizzes and volumes of literature to be consumed. Learning takes time, effort and dedicated preparation. Good grades are not a mystery. Excellence does not happen by chance. A great student excels because of planned and executed effort.
At Boone Homes, we are committed to building homes with planned excellence and distinction. Our research into building technology guides our application and completely ensures each home will be built following the best practices within the industry. Every home built is meticulously crafted with dedicated and scientific effort. We start the process with a well-designed floor plan and intricate architecture which is then built with intention and care. Couple a studious design with care and an Energy Star qualified package and you will find intentional excellence. Excellence does not happen by chance. (more…)
How much thought do you put into looking for, researching and planning the purchase of your new home in Richmond? Is it as much as you would for, say, your wedding day? What value is there in having your way?
The bride wants the wedding her way so she is willing to dole out significant levels of cash for the right atmosphere, location and restaurant. The food is carefully selected down to the very last appetizer and cake decoration. Every little detail is planned down to who will be in which pictures, what will be said and when it will be said. The icing on the cake is selected from a number of options so that the fairy tale day will correctly fold into the annals of history. Why is one day in life given so much attention while other details, with identical consequences, seem to only marginally arouse interest? Do you give this much attention to detail in other aspects of your life? (more…)
“Stop searching forever, happiness is next to you.” ~ Fortune Cookie
“Stop searching forever, happiness is next to you.” ~ Fortune Cookie
Do the pithy sayings from a fortune cookie really guide the actions of your life? Do you suddenly feel inspired to pursue the happiness waiting in our new homes in Richmond? No one would make large decisions based on the simple and vague message in a fortune cookie. It just seems ludicrous. Or does it?
In today’s real estate market, many buyers are using similar methods in searching for homes. Some remain on the housing sidelines awaiting the deal of the century because they once heard that someone got a home for an unbelievable price. The search is prolonged because of a vague message. What if the home of your dreams was sitting right next to you all the time? (more…)
Great traditions can be interrupted by the mundane. The morning’s welcoming aroma of percolating coffee prepares the mind for that leisurely morning read. The beckoning of the newspaper or e-book replace cobwebs with sunrise – until the sound of the neighbor’s mower reminds you of the need to beat the summer heat. Setting aside the great tradition of coffee and a good read is no longer necessary in Boone Homes’ Richmond maintenance free homes.
No maintenance homes enhance lifestyle, designed to relieve you of the mundane so you can experience more of life’s great traditions or design and build new traditions. No maintenance homes relieve you of the mundane need to cut, fertilize and aerate your yard, paint your home, clean your gutters and much more. How much time would be available to create memories once the mundane is removed from the routine? I’d be willing to gamble you’d take more time to memorialize life’s little moments. (more…)
There is no greater disappointment than purchasing an extended warranty and finding out in the hour of need the warranty will not be honored. The extra monies spent wasted. The dream destroyed. Warranty is a promise. Unfulfilled warranty is a promise broken.
As a leading Richmond custom home builder, we believe in honoring our promises. Each home built is accompanied by a 1/2/5 warranty that is not vague, but well defined in writing and a copy is given to each homeowner. Unlike the warranty from others where you have to raise the issue if something goes wrong, we will contact you first. Commonly, we will send out a letter within 60 days of possession to take the first step in the warranty process. We know that if something is going to go wrong with a home, it will happen in the first 6o days of possession. A second letter will also go out prior to the 1 year warranty expiring. (more…)
Every athlete has extremely high expectations for themselves. Training, working, resting and more training is due process for excellence. Olympic hopefuls create regimented and precise routines, diets and exercises with the intent of excelling and winning gold during the main event. Their ultimate goal is to perform exceptionally, without error or defect.
Boone Homes, a Richmond custom home builder, has similar expectations. The arduous task of controlling processes was defined and refined by the heart of Boone Homes, David Owen. The refined process has exponentially improved how Boone Homes builds, customizes and assists its future homeowner through building a new home.
The process started with one goal in mind. This goal, the first mission and commitment to every home buyer, is to ensure “your new home building experience will be pleasant.” With the goal and mission at the forefront the process, selections, construction and critical path were all developed to be as user friendly as possible. The process was not a reinvention of company culture, but a definition of a former commitment of building each home as if it were our own. Because of the Boone Homes process we can convey 99.7% of all homes on time and defect free. (more…)
When it comes to new homes in Richmond, there can be a sense of mystery surrounding the unknown. The mystery of the unknown is, “do I live with the devil of the house I’m in with all the shortcomings that are so apparent, or take a chance with the unknown quantity of what a new home would provide.” After all, many of us have heard reports of homes not performing to expectations. Though this may be the case with some builders, Boone Homes has raised the bar on performance as well as what can be expected.
Since it is summer in the Mid-Atlantic we can begin talking about the energy consumption one can expect from a home. To level the playing field a little, we will do this comparison on energy price per square foot. The homes surveyed are approximately 3,100 square feet in size with similar amounts of rooms, bathrooms and unfinished space.
Bob and Mora took their time in seeking out the right place to live. Their desire was to find a family estate neighborhood of new homes in Richmond that would be conveniently located with the best lifestyle features. Once they found the Haywood Village at Charter Colony, they realized that they had found their dream. After plenty of research, they realized that they could confidently commit to living in a Boone Homes’ luxury new home community. Their experience has been rewarded. Take a look at this video and judge for yourself. (more…)
