Framing Your Custom Dream Home

After the plans are done and the foundation is poured is when we start to see some real progress while building your new custom home. The framing will begin at this point, and this is another reason why choosing a custom home builder in San Antonio is an excellent choice. You can completely customize your new home with framing attributes and style. If you want a tray ceiling in the master bedroom, beams in the living room or even having nice faux beams in your new office. Custom Home building is the way to go when choosing a builder in San Antonio, TX. Our framers are experienced and can build any dream or design you have in mind. While building you your new custom home you may think of new ideas that you want to implement in the house. Such as making a room just a few feet bigger or making a closet just a little bit smaller to make room for your kitchen cabinets. The only way to make these changes as you go is to have a truly custom home builder. We can provide all the change orders you desire to have during the construction process.

Choosing the Perfect Wall Texture

Once the framing is done and the roof is on, this is where things tend to slow down just a little bit and thats simply because it is more tedious and time consuming work. After framing, next comes the sheet rocking. This is another reason to choose a truly custom home builder in San Antonio, Tx. Sheet rockers play a major part in the aesthetics of the custom home, for instance the beams you wanted could be wrapped in sheetrock instead of wood and this will play a major part in the finished look of the custom home. There are also lots of different textures you can choose from, whats popular here in San Antonio is the “Monterrey” texture, also sometimes called a knock down. This a texture that is put on by hand and dragged across the wall to give it a finished look. Smooth walls is another option and this is more popular with your modern homes, it is actually more expensive than any other texture and you would thing the opposite! Orange peel texture is about 90 percent of what you see in homes today and the most common. It is a very easy spray texture and very cost efficient as opposed to a smooth texture.

Colors to Match Your Unique Style

Picking the textures on the walls can be boring in your new custom home in San Antonio can be quick and easy, picking other specs in the house can take a little more time. Your custom home should reflect you and your personality but it should also be fun while picking out colors and flooring. Picking the colors for the rooms and house is another task that can be easy, if you make it easy and have fun while doing it! The less colors you have in your new custom home the less expensive the painters invoice will be. So you want to try and stick to just a few colors instead of 5 or 6, but if you’re wanting more colors throughout your new custom home, Bayless Custom Homes will be happy to give it to you!

Choosing the Baseboards and Trim

There are many types of baseboards and trim moldings you can choose from as well. Some of the most common baseboards for your new custom home is just a simple one by six smooth board. You can also spice it up with some decorative molding on top of it to give your house a more elegant look. Crown molding is another option while building your new custom home that you have to choose from. Crown is more a traditional look, and in a lot of the more traditional houses. Today you hardly see crown molding in modern and contemporary homes but if you’re going for the traditional look in your new custom home then your are going to want some crown molding!

Flooring to Bring it All Together

Picking the right flooring is another daunting task, we suggest looking at magazines or looking online to find what look you love the most. Hardwood is very popular today and tile looking hardwood floors is also very popular right now, even though it can get a little pricey. They both have a great look once the house is completed and the flooring is usually one of the first things people notice when they walk into your new beautiful custom home. Being a Custom home builder in San Antonio we have many flooring companies that we work with, these companies have showrooms that you can walk around in and see examples to choose from. They all have a very friendly and helpful staff to help you make that tough decision.

Several Cabinet Styles to Choose From

Cabinets are another spec you’re going to have to choose. There are also many styles of cabinets to choose from in custom home building in San antonio, such as shaker style cabinets, flat or contemporary cabinets, traditional 5 piece cabinets and rustic style cabinets. You’re going to want to stick with the style of home you have chosen with the architect in most cases but if you like a certain type of cabinet then just go for it! This is your custom home!

Tile for Perfect Accents

Tiled showers, tiled tub surrounds, electric fixtures, plumbing fixtures, styles of doors and even the hardware are all major aspects of the finished look of your new custom home. If you see something you like online, in a magazine or even at a friends house, save it! take a picture of it! We can get it or we can find it to put it in your house. Electrical fixtures are another eye catching item in your new custom home in San Antonio. I personally think electrical and plumbing fixtures can play a pivotal role in the finished look of your home. Especially some nice plumbing fixtures inside of a beautiful, frameless, walk in shower.
