Winter Building and Delivery 

If your dream is to be living in your new modular home or enjoying your new cottage this summer, for most builds, we recommend you start the process now. 

  • Avoid the spring rush. Many people still do not think about home building during the winter. If you build, or at least start the process now, your home will be at the front of the line. You can also use this time to secure tradespeople to build that shop, or tackle that landscape plan you have – before they get tied up for the season.

Spend your summer doing what you love. Get your home built and delivered in the winter/early spring and enjoy the warmest months of the year in your new home! Picture yourself enjoying your new BBQ, or firepit, building your garden or even your own putting green! Don’t spend your summer waiting for your new home or cottage when you could be already living the life you imagined.

Foundations in the Winter  

Canadians know how to get things done and we are certainly accustomed to working in our harsh climate. With the correct precautions in place, foundations and services can still be installed in the winter.

  • Steel Pilings. Heavy-duty helical screw pilings can cut through snow and ice; plus – they make a great foundation! They are solid, secure, and adjustable. 
  • Concrete. While its true that concrete is more difficult to work with in the winter, the correct heating and hoarding can ensure your project moves forward. There may be some additional costs for these winter steps, so we are happy to refer you to our preferred partners or complete the work for you.

Our Modular Advantage 

Modern modular homes are factory built, in a climate-controlled setting using state of the art technologies to support certified tradespeople with their craftmanship. Not only is it a super efficient process, enabling us to deliver homes faster, the climate-controlled environment helps prevent weather delays and protects the materials that go into building your new home. 

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that all the wood and other materials that went into your home have been protected from excessive moisture.

How to decorate the bedrooms in your new home

So, you got a new home and now you need to decorate all the bedrooms.

What do you fill them with? How do you add dimension, or make a room look bigger? These are all questions we have and they are all easy to answer. Keep reading this blog to find out all the ways you can decorate your bedrooms, with almost no grief. You’ll want to start by hanging curtains in all your rooms. Curtains make a big difference, and having them in bedrooms is most important because you want to keep that sunlight out on a hot day, or an early morning! You can even try for blackout curtains to step it up a notch. Choose a neutral color so that you can go any direction you wish with the rest of the room.

Add lamps and end tables to fill the room

You never know how much you appreciate an end table or a lamp until you actually go to use it. Try not having one for a day or two, and you’ll see what we mean! End tables tie a room together too, and they keep the room from feeling to empty. Another great thing about end tables is that there are always great DIY’s for refurbishing end tables which is a fun project and allows you to save money by using what you already have. You, your family or any guests will appreciate having a lamp to turn on when they want to relax before bed without being in an overly-bright room. Add to that an end table to rest your books or glasses on, and you’ve got a great piece of furniture that every bedroom should have.

Freshen the room with new bedding

Adding bed sheets, blankets and pillows to the bed in your room makes the room feel more welcoming and more homey too. Bedding is always a fun addition because there are so many great color and design choices! You can change an entire room up just by changing out your bedding. Add throw pillows and a bed skirt and the bedrooms in your home will all look inviting and ready for anyone who will be staying in them. If you’ve kept your curtains and lamps neutral, you can usually have more fun with your linens! Add a pop or color or stick with a classic white or grey. Any of these options look great and add to the bedroom itself.

Fill the space with an area rug

Adding an area rug to your room can easily make the space look fuller and more put together. Area rugs can tie together a nice color scheme as well. Plus, if you don’t have carpet, something soft for your feet is always a nice bonus! They can be placed under the bed  as long as there is a few inches of rug on all sides of the bed. Rugs of any kind can take your bedrooms to the next level when you decide to decorate! You can get so many different sizes, colors and textures so with area rugs, the possibilities really are endless.
