Custom Home Interior
An alarm system is a must in today’s volatile world. Prewiring for this system can save thousands later on. Wiring in the early stage is easiest for the installer, thus saving tremendously on labor.
Many housewives and husbands enjoy the convenience of a vacuum system. This cleaning system will easily pay for itself in a few years of not replacing portable models, and is very convenient. Vacuum systems improve the quality of a home and increases equity.
All household wiring and audio/video cables should be installed now. The roughed-in stage allows easy access to walls, rooms, ceilings and all aspects of the interior of your home. Preplanning will prove to be a key cost saving strategy.
Once all wiring and cables are securely in place, the insulation is ready to be installed. Insulation comes in numerous types, styles, and applications. No longer are homeowners forced to use rolled insulation. DV Wise prefer to use spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation will provide the greatest weather barrier and soundproofing for the home. There is no comparison to the value of spray foam insulation, or the price. The cost to spray a home versus traditional methods is astronomical, BUT spray foam insulation will save the homeowner thousands every year in heating and cooling costs. Electricity providers offer a significant discount when installing the premium insulation. Overall, spray foam insulation will return the additional cost in heating/cooling cost in approximately 5 years, and pay for itself completely in 10 to 15 years, depending on a few variables.
Upon completion of the insulation process, the drywall should be installed. Once again, you will get what you pay for here. Hire a professional; do not attempt to “do it yourself” regardless of previous experiences. Hanging and finishing drywall is not easy and greatly affects the appearance of your interior and painted walls.
DV Wise homes are always required to be kept clean and orderly. A clean and orderly workplace will result in a safer and more cost effective home. The home should be thoroughly cleaned after the drywall is finished. Cleaning now will ensure a clean home later.
All moulding and finishing wood should be applied now. Finish carpenters are a rare breed, meaning the patience needed to successfully install this expensive product is hard to find. DV Wise have used the same professional finishing contractors for almost a decade. Their experience and understanding of the quality required in our homes is irreplaceable.
Painters are the most unique of all contractors. Attention to detail, satisfaction in perfection and familiarity to the drywall finishers, enable a painter to perform far beyond expectation. We prefer to use the same group of sub-contractors exactly for this reason. Knowing the team working in front and behind you is a key to building a sound home. Obstacles are always on-site, but working with people you trust and see on a regular basis, will hold every carpenter accountable for their work. Painters need a smooth surface to apply their product to, but top quality painters understand no surface is perfect, so our painters always have the tools and supplies needed to amend minor imperfections.
Cabinets, countertops, and vanities can be installed once the paint has cured. Granite has become more popular and cost effective in recent years. Solid surfaces and laminate countertops are rarely used in a custom home anymore. The appeal and resale value of granite is unheralded. All plumbing should be completed shortly after the countertops and cabinets are properly installed.
The flooring is installed next. Hardwood flooring, tile and linoleum are installed nearing the end to avoid scratching and damage. Properly installed flooring will accentuate the dwelling above and beyond any other aspect of the home.
Light fixtures, outlets, door knobs and handles are installed during the finishing process. As the structure has transformed into a home, the fixtures bring it together like few other pieces of the building process.
Final inspection and walk-through is the most critical stage for the new homeowner. Tom Wise will be with you every step of the building process, but his presence is felt strongest now. His eye for detail is unsurpassed and with the closing just around the corner, no detail is too small.
Moving day, as your family decorates and personalizes the home, DV Wise is still here. Tom insists that the home is never really complete, meaning he is available to assist in minor repairs caused by moving or unveiled during the first few months. We will never close a home and walk away. The process of building your home brings together the homeowners and builder to almost a family like state. We embrace the long lasting relationships developed when building a home.
