To ensure that a house is right for you, answer these 10 questions before purchasing a "stock" plan. 1. What does this home offer that you don't have now? Easy answers might include better storage, more bedrooms, and bathrooms, or space for entertaining friends. But look beyond the obvious to see how the home will fit -- and improve -- your lifestyle. Maybe the great-room will offer family-activities space that is lacking in your current home, and the home office will mean fewer late evenings at work, giving more time for family fun. The main-level master suite and laundry room will decrease stair climbing. A larger garage might accommodate that boat you've always wanted. 2. Will this home be big enough -- or too big -- in five or 10 years? Regardless of your current stage of life, a home that is just the right size now won't necessarily be just right in the future. A flexible house plan allows you to convert spaces as needs change. A playroom can become...

When you've decided it's the right time to build, you'll want to be selective when deciding who will build the house of your dreams. All builders are different, and each builder fits a particular type of build. So, depending on your stipulations, you may want to shop around before you make a concrete decision. Follow these steps to figure out what builder is right for your vision.                                         Verify the builder is licensed and insured Check the builder's warranties and how they work Tour model homes to see craftsmanship Tour job sites to ensure they are tidy and cleaned up Industry involvement, such as NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) Ask to see some testimonials  Ensure the builder is well experienced View their website and see how professional they present themselves  Decide what you need, and observe the style and capabil...

This #ThrowbackThursday, we are going to flashback to a custom Hamilton home rendering in Central New York. Take a look at what started as a drawing through the front and rear elevations shots to the home coming to life before our very eyes ...

With over 50 customizable home plans to choose from, you're sure to find a style that fits your lifestyle. Our home plans are perfect for anyone and everyone because any tweaks or modifications can be drawn up by our in-house draftsmen. For instance, a lot of folks seem to be drawn to a log cabin's open floor plan, but aren't so keen on log siding, so they'll opt for a vinyl siding, instead. Examples like this are what makes custom home plans so versatile! Click the link here to request your home plan catalogs, today!

You've decided you want to design and build your own custom home and like most prospective home owners, you have a vision of what your "dream home" would be like. With so many elements to consider when designing your own home, let the Hamilton team help you from start to finish and beyond.  So, how can you be sure your dream will become your reality? First, you can look at homes in the area in which you will be building your custom home. Do you see a common style throughout the homes that you'd like to mirror or do you prefer something entirely different? Then, look for open house signs and advertisements. Visiting homes is one of the best ways to determine what features you like and dislike.  Secondly, take photos of what appeals to you. After viewing dozens of houses, magazine after magazine, or searching online plans, there is no better way to recall what you may have liked than a photograph. It may have been the exterior color, the entry door, the interior t...
