The Tweedy's Dream Home at Timber Banks

@home Builders would like to welcome the Tweedy’s into their Cottage Style home within the Timber Banks community. Enjoy this testimonial from the happy homeowners!

"My wife and I have had a “bucket list” of dreams for much of our married life of 46 years. We have completed many of them, including navigating our sports cruiser to Hilton Head for a year, living on a river, living on a lake, plus many more, too numerous to mention.

We have now completed the process of fulfilling another dream, building our final home, our dream home, in a golf community.

We just finished the last stages of completing this dream home, a patio home, at Timber Banks in Baldwinsville, NY on the Seneca Rivera and couldn’t be happier. @home Builders from Rochester, NY is the builder we have chosen to use. David Riedman, President; Brian Warren, Director of Marketing and Sales; and Paul Silvia, Construction Superintendent have all done an absolutely tremendous job satisfying all of our needs and desires. Believe me, there have been many.

Teresa Carpenter, the sales consultant, has been there for us every step of the way. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty to facilitate the process and keep us happy.

It has been a satisfying and rewarding process and we thank all of you.

We have a beautiful home on a Nicklaus Design Championship golf course, overlooking the 13^th hole. This community offers bike trails through the woods and a marina on the Seneca River. The amenities at Timber Banks are remarkable! We also have 24/7 access to the resident clubhouse which offers a fitness center, pool, hot tub, theatre room and internet cafe with free wifi! All of these amenities are available to us with the purchase of our home from @home Builders.

We totally and wholeheartedly recommend Timber Banks, @home Builders and all of the people who were involved, including David, Brian, Paul and Teresa.

Thank you all!!!"

Bill and Dottie Tweedy

Skip the Beige! Dive Into Color!

So many new homeowners don’t realize that the options are endless when selecting colors for their newly constructed home. The “Builder Beige” is a safe color that most builders use when the homeowners can’t decide on a color scheme. Why play it safe? Painting the walls of your home is the easiest way to get the biggest bang for your buck.

If painting your walls a vibrant color is a little too daring for your taste, you could always decide to paint your walls a subtle color and incorporate bold, colorful decals on an accent wall just to add a pop of color.

Painting your walls a neutral color and adding a metallic sheen top coat could also help to take your beiges from boring to exciting! Some stores have begun to offer metallic papers which would also add texture, contrast and sophistication. Remember, paint is easy to change and makes a striking statement in any room.

Before paint becomes an issue, you must first build the home of your dreams! Do so with the help of our Design Center. Christina Haag is a design professional and will help you create the home you've always wanted. Make your house a home by working with our Design Center ... and then add some paint!

Roger Expresses His Thanks to @home Builders

Please take a moment to enjoy this wonderful testimonial from one of our very own "On Your Lot" homeowners:

Dear @home Builders,

I have been in my home for just over a year now. This has been a year of getting things in order, downsizing, adjusting and rearranging. The move to the city was a big one for me. I am in a period of discovery. I never knew the city had so much to offer. Along that discovery path is a place I now call home. Just the other day a friend complimented my house and said "this place is more than a house, it's a home. It feels so good when I come here." I have had so many compliments on my home and I wanted to let you know what a great treasure it is. I have you and your company to thank for a comment such as that.

So all in all, this has been a busy year, but a most peaceful one. I have done some upgrades (deck, fence, shed, landscaping) as I settle in; but the base product was and still is your design. I consider it an honor that you initially took the time to consult with me, design and plan a home that would reflect my tastes while keeping in mind that we needed to construct something that looked liked it belonged in the city. You ultimately followed through on giving me a finished product that turned out to be hassle free and a joy to live in.

Over the past year, I literally have had more than a dozen people ring the doorbell and ask such things as "Who built this place? Is this house brand new? What color is the siding? Where did you get the front door?" One woman even took a piece of siding and a chip of the trim color and went to Sherwin Williams to match my colors.

So I just want to say THANK YOU! You have more than lived up to your side of the bargain by giving me something to be proud of; something I truly enjoy; and more than that, a place that I can welcome both friends and strangers into that embodies the warmth and style that you helped to create.

Warmest regards,

Roger

Get Inspired!

Designing a newly constructed home is no easy feat! With a blank canvas and an endless amount of options, it is easy to get overwhelmed in the process. If you need some inspiration, think of all of the places you enjoy spending your time. Whether it is a restaurant, store, or outdoor venue that you had in mind, you can be inspired by anything.

Think of how you would like to feel in your home and then think of where you were the last time you felt that way. Doesn’t everyone want to be uplifted each time they enter their home? What better way to do that then to incorporate memories of the things that make you the happiest.

Feel free to take advantage of the opportunity to use our Design Center when designing your new home! One of the most exciting steps in purchasing a new home is selecting the products and finishes that will complete it. We're sure you will absolutely LOVE doing that in our unique New Home Sales & Design Center. You will meet with our in-house Design Specialist, Christina Haag, and together you’ll walk through the process of creating your dream home.

Get inspired and get designing!
