Drop It Like It's Hot

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.

One of the main benefits of having a drop zone is that it helps keep your home organized and tidy. Instead of cluttering up your entryway with shoes and bags, you can keep everything in one spot. This also makes it easier to find your keys or wallet when you're rushing out the door for your kids' practice, or that event you've had on the calendar for months.

Another advantage of drop zones is that they can be customized to fit your family's needs. If you have children, you can add hooks and shelves at a lower height so they can reach their belongings. You can also include a charging station for your electronic devices or a bulletin board to keep track of appointments and reminders.


Overall, drop zones are a practical and stylish addition to any new construction home. They can help streamline your daily routine and keep your home looking neat and organized.

When it comes to remodeling your home, we get it—you want the best for your space. But too often, we see homeowners asking for “cheap” when they really want “quality.” At Hemme Construction, we believe that you shouldn’t have to make that compromise. Remodeling is an investment, and while budget is important, the real question is: What kind of value are you getting for your money?

As homes across the country continue to age, remodeling is becoming more than just a trend—it's a smart investment. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) , the remodeling market is poised for steady growth over the next several years, driven largely by the increasing age of owner-occupied homes. At Hemme Construction, we’re seeing this trend play out locally as well. More homeowners are turning to remodeling as a way to improve functionality, boost energy efficiency, and modernize outdated spaces without the cost and hassle of moving. And it’s no wonder—NAHB reports that the median age of owner-occupied homes in the U.S. is now over 40 years. That means many homes are in need of upgrades to meet today’s lifestyle and performance expectations.
