Is Building a Custom Home Right for You?
If you’ve been thinking about building a new home, one of the first decisions you’ll have to make is choosing between a custom builder and a production builder. Building a custom home isn’t right for everyone—it requires time, dedication, and passion—and at Sekas Homes, we want to ensure building a custom home with us is not just a home but an experience.
Basement Designs to Suit Every Lifestyle
When creating a custom luxury home, many people instantly think of fantastic gourmet kitchens, winding staircases, lavish master bathrooms, and stone fireplaces. While all of these things are incredibly important in your home, drafting a basement design to perfectly suit your tastes and lifestyle is just as essential when creating a high-end custom home. At Sekas Homes, our expert team can craft basement designs that are ideally matched to your needs, including many features such as bars, fireplaces, full baths, media rooms, and more.
Adding Custom Built-In Shelves to Your Northern Virginia New Home
One of the greatest ways to combine elegance, beauty, and functionality is by adding custom built-in shelves to your new home. They are a beautiful way to display décor, book collections, framed photos, dishes, and more. At Sekas Homes, our skilled design team can help you create shelves in any room of your custom home that perfectly suit your lifestyle and needs.
How to Choose a Builder
Choosing a reliable, quality home builder should be number one on your list when it comes to building a custom luxury home. You’ll be making many decisions during the home building process—paint colors, cabinet doors, tiles, etc.—but none of them will have a greater impact on your home’s outcome than the builder you choose. That’s why it’s essential to your experience and your home to find out how to choose a builder that delivers high-quality products and services.
The Benefits of Solar Panels for Your Home
There is a rapidly growing interest in solar energy for homes in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, and many people have questions about the advantages of installing solar panels. At Sekas Homes, we’re dedicated to providing our homeowners and potential customers with the most comprehensive information about their solar options. Through our partnership with EDGE Energy, we are now able to provide full-system solar installations and solar-ready options for our custom homes in Northern Virginia.
Design a Custom Home: Needs vs. Wants
One of the best things you can do when you design a custom home is to really consider the difference between what you want and what you truly need. This can actually be much more difficult than it sounds because the people in your family may view these wants and needs very differently. For instance, one family member may think it’s essential to have a formal living room for entertaining guests, while someone else may prefer entertaining in the basement and even consider a formal living room wasted space.
Basement Bar Designs to Improve Your Home
One of the most common basement design elements requested by people interested in luxury custom homes is a bar. Adding a bar in the basement can create an excellent gathering place for friends and family, as well as a beautiful place to display a wine collection. If you’re considering a bar for your home, you’re probably researching basement bar design ideas trying to find the perfect style. At Sekas Homes, our custom home designers have been helping people create the perfect basement bars, and they have some things you always need to consider.
Add a Custom Fireplace to Your Home Design
Nothing makes a place feel like “home” quite like a custom fireplace. It’s the perfect juxtaposition of the new and the old, the modern and the traditional. With expertly crafted stone hearths or handcrafted wooden mantels, custom fireplaces offer nearly endless options to match any style or design.
