Home Improvement Plans

Women are Taking on Home Improvement

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 17, 2007

Home improvement is becoming a popular hobby for women, according to a study conducted by Yankalovich Partners. A shocking 37 percent of women said they would rather work on a home improvement project than hit the malls, while 28 percent said they’d rather work on their home than cook.

Home improvement television shows like “Trading Spaces” and “While You Were Out” have shown women that they too can tackle those home improvement projects that require more than just painting, wallpapering and rearranging the furniture. Women are now installing their own ceramic tile and hardwood flooring throughout their homes, along with taking on other big home improvement projects.

“Most people think that the home improvement industry only targets the male market, but surprisingly, most of our customers are women looking to embark on a new project,” said Kelley Munoz of West Coast Flooring Center . “These days, women seem to know exactly what they need to purchase to complete their home project and improve their home’s value.”

Home improvement is not only popular due to the home renovation television programs featuring capable women designers and carpenters, but for the sense of empowerment it provides the homeowner. More women are enjoying the feeling of achievement they get from creating visible and valuable improvements to their home. In fact, 54 percent of women versus 51 percent of men who participated in the Yanlalovich Partners study said they were currently undertaking a home improvement project. Home improvement projects provide a mean for women to express their creativity, along with their construction skills.

NH Post and Beam Kit Home Builder Featured on DIY Network Show “Assembly Required”

(PRWEB) August 7, 2005

In many parts of the country, icy winter conditions and below zero temperatures bring home construction crews to a cold halt. But that’s not the case here in New England, where the indomitable Yankee spirit is alive and well in the construction of a new post and beam house in the dead of last year’s brutal winter.    

Yankee Barn Homes of Grantham, NH, and Millstream Structures of Newport, NH are featured braving the elements in a two-part series airing on the DIY Network’s Assembly Required TV show on August 14, 2005 and August 21 at 2 pm as they rush to frame and enclose a post and beam barn-style home in five very cold days.    

In this first of two episodes, the crew from Millstream Structures battles the elements with a post and beam kit from Yankee Barn homes, a young family decides if prefab is the way to go for their Vermont home, and builders who specialize in post and beam construction explain how they overcome challenges to stay on schedule. In the second episode, the crew continues their struggle against inclement weather as the family pushes forward to complete their post and beam home before ski season.

The DIY Network is owned by the Scripps Network and features cable programming for do-it-yourself projects, including home building; home improvement and woodworking.

About Yankee Barn Homes

Yankee Barn Homes manufactures award-winning custom post and beam barn-style homes at their factory in Grantham, NH which are then shipped and built worldwide. At the most recent HBRANH awards ceremony, seven Yankee Barn homes were recognized for excellence including two gold medals, three silver medals, and two bronze medal winners.

Rouse Chamberlin Homes New Design Center Offers a Better Buying Experience

Danielle Wood, Design Center Manager, assists new home buyers to customize their new homes.

(Vocus/PRWEB) February 26, 2011

Buying a new home involves a variety of important decisions for the new homeowner. They face a huge number of selections, including model, outside finish and color selections, interior fixtures, appliances and surfaces. These choices represent many elements which need to fit together seamlessly.

In the past, buyers have had to make those selections from small rooms crammed with limited and sometimes out-of-date selections. To save space, some builders offer printed materials that don’t correctly reproduce actual colors. The result was buyer frustration for what should really be an exciting experience.

The new Design Center from Rouse Chamberlin Homes in Exton Commons fulfills the promise of an exceptional home buying experience.

“A home is the largest single purchase people will make,” noted Design Center Manager Danielle Wood. “Home buyers will live in and with their selections for years. Our design center is the best of its kind in the tri-county area and ensures that new home buyers can make the right choices for their families.”

The Design Center offers every feature that buyers can use to customize their new homes. That includes hundreds of cabinet wood combinations, hundreds of countertop options and dozens of appliance options. “Our Design Center makes it easy for a buyer to visualize how colors and textures will merge together to become their new home. And we frequently update the Center resources so buyers always have access to the latest color trends and appliance features.”

Building an exceptional Design Center is one part of Rouse Chamberlin Homes’ commitment to superior buyer satisfaction. Their home building has received dozens of awards plus something even more important: high praise from owners. Rouse Chamberlin Homes’ buyers regularly offer exceptional testimonials on their houses years after the purchase. Dave and Janey Hughes’ comments are typical: “The quality and professionalism of the entire staff was truly impressive. All aspects of our home buying experience were extraordinarily positive.”

“We have extremely high worksmanship requirements,” explains Dave England, Rouse Chamberlin Homes President. “Our inspections are more stringent. We build the best quality home people can buy from a variety of aspects. Our buyers still offer us testimonials ten and fifteen years after they purchased their homes. We work hard to ensure that the buying experience is the best anyone can experience, anywhere.”

Contact Rouse Chamberlin Homes Design Center at 610-594-3742 or Danielle Wood at dwood(at)RCLTD(dot)com.

Since 1978, Rouse Chamberlin Homes has been building homes and thriving neighborhoods focused on the home buyers’ needs. The result has included exceptional customer satisfaction results and industry recognition including “National Builder of the Year” and “America’s Best Builder” awards.
