Home Features to Spend Your Money on Now Instead of Later

Are you building a new home here in Georgia? Many details demand your attention, from crown molding to the placement of the back deck. Invest well in the structural designs while your home is still in the planning stage. With Georgia custom home builders like Southland Custom Homes, your home can maintain its strength and beauty for years to come.

It's tempting to focus on paint schemes or appliances. These will change over the years as your needs change. Consider the physical support your house must provide for you. This is hidden after the carpets and paint are in place. It is essential to your comfort and the longevity of your investment, so plan carefully before a single nail gun goes to work. Here are two important areas of your home. They need your attention now so that they can provide solid support for the future.

Windows and Flashing

Your windows frame beautiful outdoor views. They let in natural light. They protect you from cold weather and dampness. They can only do this if they are well-designed, so invest wisely. Reliable flashing is an important detail that you can focus on while the house is just a frame. Left for later, it will become a significant issue. Not only can weak flashing increase heating and cooling bills, but mold can become a problem. At that point, you'll have to shuffle your life around serious repair work.

Floors and Subfloors

Once the carpeting is installed, many people forget about their floors. They vacuum rugs and sweep hard floors, but they often accept little squeaks and buckling. You can prevent these with forethought. Plan a high-quality subfloor and superior flooring. These support the weight of that piano you want to buy for your kids. They hold their own against age. They prevent moisture problems that can turn into an expensive situation later.
