Snow shoveling included for no maintenance Richmond new homes.

For those living in Richmond new homes in Central Virginia, winter has been tremendous so far. Temperatures have hovered in the 50s and 60s most of the winter making Central Virginia seem more like a winter escape destination. In all this wonderful weather, it is necessary to point out there is always a chance for snow, like what happened just a few days ago. During this flurry of bad weather, the Richmond area enjoyed 4 to 6 inches of fresh and fluffy snow. The snow made every Boone Homes neighborhood appear as if each home had just been painted in a Thomas Kinkade city of lights. Though beautiful, snow still has a side effect.

Side Effect of Snow: Shoveling

This side effect can be strenuous on the back, unless you live in one of our no maintenance communities.  When you live in a Boone Homes’ no maintenance neighborhood, the shoveling is done for you saving you strain, heat wraps and pain killers. Avoiding this side effect of pain and strain is possible when you own a Boone Homes no maintenance home. All of our Richmond custom homes are built in a luxurious community and are designed to alleviate strain by doing all the exterior seasonal maintenance for you. Who wouldn’t love more time to experience life without the pain meds? You will love the new lifestyle as you will have more time to experience life.

For a personalized tour of a no maintenance home you will love, please call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760.  You will certainly fall in love with one of our five no maintenance neighborhoods. No time to wait? Boone Homes has several homes completely finished or almost finished and ready for you to move into. Come and see why so many people have fallen in love with the no maintenance lifestyle. Come today. Come experience more time to live.

Fall in love with our Richmond new homes.

February is the month of Love. Here at Boone Homes, Valentine’s Day sparks love in the architects of our Richmond new homes. We do not believe in fostering a fickle love deserving flowers and chocolate, soon to be forgotten. The love of a Boone architect is a steadfast love of design, developing each new home with timeless architecture. The special relationship between excellence and design grows daily out of love for providing you with a new home with award-winning architecture. Each day our architect spends his time carefully developing each detail of this love relationship. Every space of the home is carefully crafted with love to ensure the each homeowner has the chance to build dreams and experiences to match.

The community of Tarrington on the James is one of our elegant new home communities. Each home in the Courtyard section is designed for one-level living with all the main features on the first. The community offers luxury for active adults and busy professionals as all the exterior maintenance of the yard and the home is handled by the community.

The process doesn’t stop with the architect and the community. Our building superintendents take the results of our architects’ vision and make them more than a romantic dream. Each day our superintendents arrive ready to finish the dream. The details imagined with love are then carefully and delicately built into reality. As magical as this process sounds, we don’t have a magical process just in February. We are constantly designing and building Richmond custom homes with careful attention to every detail, from design to construction.

Give the Gift of a Boone Homes this Valentine's Day

Flowers make such a temporary gift. Even with the best “arrive alive” system, flowers only last a few days or at the longest a week. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but diamonds certainly do not give a girl a place to create memories. Dinner makes for a great moment, though soon forgotten. The gift that keeps on giving is one of our new high-performance Richmond new homes.

What are the benefits of gifting a new Boone Home this Valentines? One reason is each space is planned to build memories. For example: your kids have plenty of space in the family room to play while the family’s head chef mixes a soufflé and enjoys a delicate chardonnay. After the little ones have been sent to bed, a romantic comedy can grace the screen while the cares of the day almost dance away with the flames of the fireplace. As evening turns into night you can retreat to the owner’s suite. Bubbles wash away any remaining stress in the soaking tub setting up the finale in the owner’s suite retreat with a snuggly blanket and a great read.

Life is measured in moments. We build Richmond custom homes to help you capture those moments and retain them for a lifetime. We have eight communities throughout the Richmond area. A new home would make a marvelous Valentine’s gift that would make this year’s special day the most memorable yet. Come and see why so many have chosen to build a new home with us.

Richmond New Homes

There is a lot of talk in Washington these days about insider trading and the “ethical” dilemma of allowing congress to capitalize on information while the general public may not. While congress begins their debate we will share some Boone Homes insider information about our Richmond new homes that that is perfectly legal. This insider information is based on data of what has happened recently, forecasts for this year and years of experience in building new homes.

Insider information with real life data shows that in the last few weeks Boone Homes has sold nearly our entire new home inventory. This bit of information alone can seem like an irregularity in the market until you meld it with the forecast for this year from the National Association of Home Builders. The association asserts that there will be an increased demand for new homes creating a shortage by the 3^rd quarter of 2012. In conversations with local real estate professionals on the beat, this information does not seem to be exclusive to home builders as they claim to have seen the best beginning to the spring housing market since before the “Great Recession.”

Since experience lives here, we are prepared for your need to own a new home. The release of the buyer’s pent up demand in 2012 has prompted us to build luxury homes in Richmond in all of our communities in preparation for buyers to preview and purchase prior to the shortage. While there is no way of foreseeing the true result of what will happen, we are leading the way in building new homes in highly sought areas of town. We will be ready to satisfy your need for a new home.

For a personalized tour of one of our new home communities, please call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760.  Lingering may cause you to miss an opportunity of a lifetime. Call today.

Eliminate Cooking Odors from your Richmond New Homes

Chefs great and small all have one thing in common: their cooking can sometimes create odors that don’t necessarily complement your Richmond new homes’ atmosphere. Who knew  that the smell of burnt cake, the odor left behind from fried fish or the garlic in last night’s pasta could entrench itself so deeply in your homes? The battle lines have been drawn. Odor can disperse throughout a home easily when cooking, unless you have a vented hood above your cooking space.

We believe in building every new home with a way to remove unnecessary kitchen odors before they permeate the home. The method of removing the air-bound odors is through a vented hood installed over the kitchen range.  The vented hood pulls the odors directly off the range top and promptly shows them the door.

Several types of vented hoods are available, though the categories can be refined to two main categories.   Category one is an over the range Microwave-Hood Combination. This type of hood has a dual purpose. Purpose number one serves as a microwave oven. Though popping popcorn, reheating drinks or food is the primary purpose, the hood portion of this appliance is designed to remove odors from the range surface, allowing them to exit along with their odor.

The second type of hood is a built in hood. This type of hood can be a stand-alone appliance designed to eject air or a highly decorative appliance hidden behind cabinetry detail. Both the microwave hood combination and the stand alone hood unit are efficient enough to adequately remove kitchen odors before they permeate the home.

We build luxury new homes in Richmond, and specialize in estate and no maintenance homes. For a personalized tour of one of our new homes, please call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760. Call today and see what other features and benefits come with the home of your dreams. Visit today and see why so many buyers love their new Boone Homes.

Keep an eye on our Richmond new home experience.

Would you purchase the services of a doctor who offered the lowest price on eye surgery? Would you blindly (pun intended) sign the paperwork and lay on the surgery table if you didn’t see a certificate on the surgeon’s wall showing she had passed the basic requirements needed for graduating as a surgeon? What kind of questions would you ask? Would you be more interested in finding the lowest bidder to perform surgery on your eye? Why or why not? It seems funny to even ask these questions as most would rather pay excessively more for a competent and reputable eye surgeon as they would feel they had a better chance at coming out with the results they were expecting. At Boone Homes, we see (pun intended) this analogy applying to Richmond new homes.

A new home is not measured by price alone. There needs to be a better metric. Price per square foot is not a good metric either. Price per square foot addresses how cheaply a home can be built – what you don’t see behind the walls is just as important as what you do see. Maybe the metric used to measure results should have something do with experience.

For the same reason you would like to use a reputable eye surgeon to address and correct your sight issues, you should consider an experienced builder whose reputation can stand the test of a local market over time. At Boone Homes, we have been building no maintenance homes and fine luxury homes in Richmond for over 30 years. Each home is built as if it were our own. Experience does matter. This is why we have the highest rate of repeat clients in the Richmond metro area.

Come see for yourself why experience matters. For a personalized tour of a luxury new home community, please call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760 or visit the Boone Homes website. Call today. Experience lives here.

No maintenance homes give residents freedom.

As the days of winter linger and the New Year grows from infancy into the toddler stage, it feels right to discuss summer. Summer is right around the corner, and it is time to think and plan vacations as well as who is going to maintain the home while you’re relaxing with a mixed drink in the Caribbean sun. While the thoughts of sunsets, relaxing music and sun waft through your subconscious, the need for someone to mow the grass, clean the gutters and touch up the exterior paint on the house captivate the forefront. Unless – you live in one of our no maintenance neighborhoods of Richmond new homes, then all you have to do is plan for the sunset on the beach. Not a bad trade off.

We have five no maintenance communities located throughout the Richmond area. These neighborhoods are designed for the professional who enjoys a single-family home and yard but doesn’t want to spend time on home maintenance.

Each home is masterfully designed by an award-winning architect, and is built with thoughtful care by construction professionals and accessorized by competent selections coordinators who have years of experience. A no maintenance neighborhood is specifically designed for the family on-the-go. Each detail of these Richmond custom homes is designed for one-level living.

Our no maintenance neighborhoods have new homes starting from the high-$300,000s. The locations of these no maintenance neighborhoods are conveniently placed near the heart of Richmond or by a relaxing majestic golf course in Chesterfield County.

A fantastic way to find the lifestyle for you is to visit each one. For a personalized tour of one of Boone Homes’ no maintenance neighborhoods, please call Chris Parks at 804.218.7760.
