Consider factors like location, soil quality, topography, and public utility access before purchasing your plot.

 

Determining where you’ll live is just as important as determining who will build your dream home.  Be sure to consider:

• Location – Do you prefer to be in the middle of it all or have a quiet country retreat? Is it close to amenities and transportation?  Too close to railroad tracks?
• Soil Quality – The foundation of your home relies heavily on the quality of your soil. Choosing the right plot can go a long ways in saving you financially.  Good soil quality can also be a boost to home gardens.
• Topography – Not only important for the overall aesthetic and feel of the land surrounding your home, understanding the topography can help to ensure your home building plans are viable.
• Access to Public Utilities – Can you easily tap into public water, sewer, and gas services or are you focused on living off the grid with well water, septic, propane and solar?

These essential considerations can help you select the perfect plot of land for your new home.

The Team at RH Home Builder is thrilled to share some exciting news about our latest project that highlights our commitment to delivering exceptional craftsmanship and transformative renovations.

We have recently bid on a promising property located at “Princeton Court” in East Brunswick, New Jersey. This project is not just any renovation—it’s a comprehensive transformation.  The project was already started by the homeowner, but it proved to be too difficult for him to finish.  We are happy to come in and save this renovation and take it to the finish line.

Project Scope

Complete Cleanout & Demolition: We’ll start with a full cleanout followed by the demolition of existing drywall to prepare for a fresh and sturdy rebuild.

Structural Enhancements: Our plan includes reframing damaged joists and doors to ensure structural integrity and longevity.

Electrical Overhaul: We’re installing all new electrical systems, including a modern panel to meet today’s energy demands safely and efficiently.

HVAC Updates: The relocation and optimization of HVAC vents will enhance comfort throughout the seasons.

Insulation: Full insulation will be installed to improve energy efficiency, keeping the home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Drywall Installation: New sheetrock will be hung and meticulously finished, setting the stage for the interior decor.

Painting: A professional paint job will refresh the entire space with a modern, inviting palette. We will use a popular color along with one of the top brands either Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams.

Kitchen Remodel: The heart of the home will see a complete transformation with new solid plywood cabinets, a luxurious quartz countertop with an undermount sink, and modern fixtures.

Flooring: The installation of new luxury vinyl plank flooring will round out the renovation with a durable and stylish foundation.

Finishing Touches: We will install all new trim around doors and windows, alongside new interior doors to enhance both the style and function of the space.

Construction Tip: Allocate funds for unforeseen expenses by adding a buffer of at least 10-20% to your budget.

 

It’s easy to get lost in the allure of all the shiny upgrades and improvements of home renovations. However, home renovations and upgrades are expensive and it’s common to go over budget quickly, sometimes without even realizing it.

A setback in one room alone can cause a huge hit on the budget, not to mention time constraints, and unfortunately, even the best home inspections can’t reveal all the potential problems of a house before

purchase.

Hidden mold, leaky roofs, foundation issues, pests, water damage, worn out wiring; these are just a few of the potential hidden problems that could be revealed upon renovation or DIY projects.
