Four Seasons, One Process

Is there a perfect time to begin building home? When is the best season to begin my building process? How would the snowy winter elements and spring rains effect my custom building project? 



These are questions that you might find yourself pondering when you're ready to begin your home building journey. Depending on your location, the unpredictable weather can be very temperamental! Fortunately when building with Hamilton Building Services, the panelized method of building is utilized. 

What is a panelized building system? The National Association of Home Building, or the NAHB, describes it as "a construction techniques that use advanced technology, quality materials and a controlled work environment to build energy-efficient homes in less time." (NAHB, 2016) 

Why is this beneficial? It allows us to construct the custom home that you've been dreaming of and designing year-round. Your custom home is weather tight in days using this method; that way the project can stay on target and keep to the schedule, without weather or material delays!















Our favorite aspect of the panelized building method can be summed up best in the words of NAHB;

"The precision construction of panelized homes makes them known for increased energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs. And since most panelized homes are weather-tight in a matter of days, your new home is kept safer and dryer, reducing the probability of warping, mold, mildew, and squeaking that adverse weather may cause in traditionally built homes." 

When you're ready to begin constructing the project you've had on your mind, send us an email or give our office a call. We can't wait to meet with you one-on-one to discuss your design!

#SolarSunday

Having a pool to cool off and relax in is a luxury that is especially nice during these hot summer months. But, like most luxuries in life, time, energy, and money must be put into owning a pool. One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.

Monday's Maintenance: Sealing Your Driveway

An asphalt driveway can be a real luxury if you're used to driving on rocks or dirt; however, asphalt does require a little extra work.

It might be tiring to work in the heat, but the higher the temper...
