August 23, 2024

Are you searching for a home that not only looks amazing but also saves you money in the long run? The Pointe Subdivision offers just that! With a focus on quality construction and energy-efficient upgrades, our homes are designed to provide you with comfort, durability, and savings for years to come. Let’s take a look at what makes these homes a step above the competition.

Future-Ready Unfinished Basements

Imagine a basements designed to grow with you. Unlike most new homes, which often come with uninsulated basement walls, we’ve gone the extra mile to insulate them. This means when you decide to finish your basement, you won’t have to worry about costly insulation upgrades. Plus, our HVAC systems are sized to accommodate the extra space from the start, ensuring your home stays comfortable no matter how you choose to use your basement in the future.

Independent Energy Audit with HERS Index Scoring

Every home in The Pointe Subdivision undergoes an independent energy audit with **HERS Index Scoring**. But what does that mean for you? It means our homes typically score 40-50% more energy-efficient than standard new construction homes. This translates to better temperature control, improved indoor air quality, and significant savings on your utility bills. Plus, every home is Energy Star Certified, ensuring you’re conserving energy while living comfortably.

Low VOC’s for a Healthier Home

We care about your health as much as we care about energy efficiency. That’s why our homes in The Pointe Subdivision are built with low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) materials. VOCs are chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air, often found in paints, carpets, and adhesives. By minimizing VOCs in our construction, we help create a healthier living space that reduces the risk of respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues associated with poor indoor air quality.

Upgraded High-Efficiency Furnace

Heating your home shouldn’t break the bank, and with our upgraded high-efficiency furnaces, it won’t. These furnaces convert more of the fuel into heat, leading to lower energy bills and improved comfort. Some models even feature variable speed blowers, which provide consistent and even heat distribution throughout your home. Built with high-quality components, these furnaces are also more durable, meaning fewer breakdowns and a longer lifespan.

Low-Maintenance Exterior

Who wants to spend weekends on home maintenance? We’ve designed our homes in The Pointe Subdivision to require less upkeep, so you can spend more time enjoying your life. Our low-maintenance exteriors feature durable materials like stucco, steel, and composite siding, which are designed to withstand the elements and retain their color without frequent painting. Roofing options like architectural shingles and standing seam metal roofs offer excellent durability and minimal maintenance. Plus, our energy-efficient windows with durable frames, like vinyl or fiberglass, need less attention than traditional wood windows. Even the landscaping is designed to be low-maintenance, with native plants that require minimal watering and pruning.

What Else Sets Our Homes Apart?

Step into one of our homes in The Pointe Subdivision, and you’ll immediately feel the difference. With 8'0" doors (compared to the standard 6'8" height) and ceilings that range from 10 to 12 feet, our homes offer a sense of openness and spaciousness that’s hard to find. Some models even feature vaulted ceilings in the Great Room and Entryway, adding an extra touch of luxury to your living space. It’s all about creating a home that feels as expansive as it is welcoming.

There’s more! Our homes feature oversized windows that are larger than typical EnergyStar Certified windows, ensuring plenty of natural light and excellent insulation against drafts. We also include a large insulated 3-car garage in every home, providing ample space and comfort. And with R23 insulation (compared to the standard R19), our homes are better sealed against drafts and equipped with the best-in-class weather-resistant barriers and fresh air ventilation systems.
