As the winter thaw gives way to the budding blooms of spring, homeowners of new construction properties face a unique set of maintenance tasks. Ensuring your home transitions smoothly into the warmer months not only preserves its beauty and functionality but can also preempt costly repairs down the line. Here we delve into essential spring maintenance tips tailored for your new construction home. First and foremost, it's crucial to conduct a thorough exterior inspection. The chill of winter can be harsh on a home's façade, potentially leading to issues that could compromise the integrity of your property. Look for signs of wear and tear on the roof, such as missing or damaged shingles, which could lead to leaks during spring showers. Examine the siding for cracks or gaps, and ensure that the foundation is free of any signs of settling or cracks. These checks are especially important for newly built homes, as they may settle significantly during the first year.

Carpeting, with its rich textures and comforting vibes, has been a staple in homes for decades, weaving its way through various trends and styles. As we dive into the current state of home decor, one might wonder if carpet is still in vogue or if it has become a relic of the past. The truth is, carpet has evolved, demonstrating resilience and adaptability in the face of changing interior design trends.

As the winter chill begins to fade away, the arrival of spring brings a breath of fresh air and vibrant new beginnings. It's the perfect time to infuse your home with the spirit of the season by incorporating some simple yet effective decor ideas.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is just around the corner, and it's time to start thinking about how you're going to decorate your home for the holidays. Here are some tips to help you create a festive and cozy atmosphere in your home:  Start with a color scheme: Before you start buying decorations, decide on a color scheme for your home. Red, green, gold, and silver are traditional Christmas colors, but you can also choose something more unique like blue and white or pink and gold. Once you have a color scheme, it will be easier to choose decorations that will all work together. Add some greenery: Nothing says Christmas like a beautiful evergreen wreath or garland. You can also add some potted poinsettias or a small Christmas tree to bring some life into your home. Use candles: Candles are a great way to add some warmth and coziness to your home. Choose scents like cinnamon or peppermint for an extra festive touch. Don't forget the lights: Christmas lights are a must-have for any holiday home. You can string them around your tree, drape them over your mantel, or even use them to create a cozy atmosphere in your bedroom. Add some personal touches: Finally, don't forget to add some personal touches to your holiday decor. Hang up your favorite family photos or display your children's homemade ornaments. These personal touches will make your home feel extra special and festive. With these tips, you'll be able to create a beautiful and cozy holiday home that will impress all of your guests. We have put together a decorating guide below to help your holiday decorating dreams come to life! We hope your home is filled with nothing but joy this Christmas season. Happy decorating!

Let's talk drop zones! Drop zones are becoming increasingly popular in new construction homes, and for good reason. A drop zone is a designated area near the entrance of a home where you can drop off your daily essentials such as keys, bags, and shoes. This area can be an open space or a built-in cubby with hooks and shelves, as seen in the picture below.

Fall is a wonderful time of year, and it's no wonder that people love to decorate their homes with all the warm and cozy colors of the season. But why limit fall decor to just one season? With a few simple touches, you can create a cozy and welcoming environment that can be enjoyed all year round.

At Hemme Construction, we're different. Yes, we build beautiful homes of the utmost quality, but we are so much more than our product. We not only have a team here at Hemme, but a family! This past August, we had the privilege of taking on Averi Kroenke, a high school student at Rockbridge, as an intern for the semester. Averi chose Hemme Construction, "because I live in a Hemme Home, along with one of their subdivisions, Creek's Edge. I have loved all of the different homes that they have built, and I had an interest in architecture & home design; I wanted to see what their process was!"

At Hemme Construction, we always say that a home should be personal, it should be a place that will inspire you. There are so many ways to mix personal value into a space. Adding personalized touches around your home doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice high end design, in fact, it can enhance the overall experience of living.

When our client came to us with a modern twist on one of our house plans, our creative gears began to turn. With this being one of the most modern custom homes we have built, we had so much room to explore ideas! We slowly began to work in a modern-contemporary twist on this stunning 3 bed, 2 bath slab.
