5 Benefits of Panelization

Here at Hamilton Building Services, we love  the panelized method of building! We picked our 5 favorite reasons to build a panelized home: 1.  Year round construction  Take advantage of the panelized building system and build even when the snow is flying! 2. Flexible Home Design Design the home that you've been dreaming of has never been easier! Use our plans or bring your own - the possibilities are endless! 3.  Less waste Your job site stays cleaner and produces less waste by having everything shipped to your site! 4. Environmentally Friendly Utilizing certified wood or wood-based products from sustainable forests ensures forests endure for generations to come! 5. Improved Air Quality Breathe easier knowing that you and your family have moisture control that reduces or eliminates mold!

Two Colors for 2016

Image via Apartmenttherapy.com Pantone is well known for releasing their color of the year, but never before have they released  two  colors of the year. We were thrilled when they released both Rose Quartz and Serenity.  These  t wo colors were chosen specifically to play off of each other and to balance out the warm rose with the cool blue.  Inspired by these two colors, we've created a  Pinterest board  illustrating interior decor paired in the two colors of the year! Visit our  Pinterest  page to get inspired for your next home project. Image found via Pantone.com Serenity   "Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times."  Pantone Image via Pantone.com Rose Quartz " Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure."  Pantone What do you think of these two colo

A "Greener" Home Within Your Grasp!

The term "Green Living" is not a new one, but one that we continuously try to better our knowledge in! We're learning new things about how making simple, but conscious changes in our daily routines can lead to a healthier and greener style of living! Simple Switches: We put our dusting to the test and swapped out the chemically packed cleaning products we currently had with natural, plant-based products. According to a HomeNav  article about living  recycle-friendly and green, trial and error is a natural process! We started by patiently swapping out products - until we found our favorite. Our current obsession is an all natural lavender scented surface cleaner. We noticed a change in breathing easier while cleaning, and even after! Breathing Easy: The quality of your indoor air impacts you more than you realize! Your mood, energy level and even chronic cough can be related to the quality of air you breathe. When dusting, be sure to use a vacuum or microfiber

Trendy 2016

A new year means new styles and trends of home design and layout! We rounded up a few of our favorite ideas for the new year, and are busily daydreaming of our dream homes . 1 . A Warm Welcome Image found via Houzz.com A popular 2016 trend is heating your entrance way floors! We love how this picture above utilizes the farmhouse style entrance way, which is also a 2016 trend that we're looking forward to! Imagine coming in from the chilly weather to an organized front hall (and warm feet!). 2. A Lack of Screens Image found via MarthaStewart.com An emerging trend for your living space comes as a bit of a surprise! A living area that does not  feature a screen or form of technology is projected to be very popular this year. We love the idea of disconnecting, and featuring the living room as a warm place to gather for good friends and good conversations! 3. A Workhorse Island with Room Image found via HGTV.com A common complaint from homeow

Tuesday Tip: Sticking To Your Resolutions

It is no secret that January 1st is the day to begin a resolution. A new year, a new you, a new set of goals. But come the third or fourth week of January, we find that we've slipped off the "New Year's Resolutions" train. A mere 8%   of people actually stick out and achieve their resolutions - and 2016 is the year we're aiming to do that! We rounded up our favorite tips for sticking out our resolutions for the duration of 2016; check it out! 1. Pose it as a question to yourself Studies prove that you are more likely to stick to your resolutions if you're asking yourself a question and giving a definitive "yes". For example, "Will I work out more?" "Yes" 2. Make only a few resolutions Consider picking only a few options as opposed to many. It is far easier to maintain three goals as opposed to ten! 3. Track your progress By monitoring your own progress, you increase the likelihood of maintaining your resolutio

Let's Not Wait For Taco Tuesday

Sundays are perfect for rest, relaxation and recipes! There are so many fun recipes that exist, especially on Pinterest - and Sundays are the perfect day to burn something in the oven  get creative with cooking! Pizza and tacos are two wonderful foods, but not often thought of together! We just had to try this recipe when we found it (loosely based on the taco pizza recipe found  here ) and adjusted accordingly to our taste buds! The result was delicious - browse the photos and recipe below to inspire your own taco pizza this Sunday! Preheat oven to 350. Start with a thawed bread dough, spread on pizza stone. Cook for 10 minutes While dough is in oven, chop 5 mini peppers into circles. For a strong kick, use one habanjero pepper! Chop 1 red onion. Remove dough, brush with olive oil and 2 tbs. garlic. Spread 3/4 cup marinara sauce Add one 16 oz can of kidney beans, the chopped peppers and onion to your dough Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Garnish wi
