Taking Care Of Your New Construction Home
Many people have switched to buying homes from builders. That’s probably why our new build homes in Oakville are constantly getting occupants in such a short time. Buying a brand-new home means you won’t be making any repairs any time soon. In fact, your warranty obviously will be covering your repairs for some time due to a few building blunders.
However, there is no guarantee that you won’t cause the damage yourself. Many new homeowners are making mistakes with their homes while aware and also unknowingly. When you make such mistakes, it can be difficult to work around the warranty. As much as the house will not remain new forever, ALBO custom home builders like to see our clients prolong the ‘’honeymoon’’ look and feel for a long time. We therefore came up with some tips for properly maintaining your home.
Following the standards of construction

Construction Home Guidelines
Many new construction homes in Oakville are equipped with quality, modern operating systems. Because not all our clients know how to operate everything, our home builders make sure to explain about it. We leave you with enough knowledge that can get you through your everyday routine easily. Locations of various controls are important to take note because it will save you and us the trouble of going through it again. You’d know better than to spill water where you shouldn’t.
Some residents do not listen and when they call us, they feel entitled for compensation. This makes our work hard and the next time a real malfunction happens, it’ll be difficult to trust that you didn’t cause it. In short, when we tell you about the equipment in your home, we like it if you listen and take it seriously. We love seeing you contented by our homes and although mistakes are bound to happen, being knowledgeable is the best way we can avoid them.
Knowing the details and materials installed

Replace and Remodel
When you are building home with ALBO design and build team from Oakville, we like to inform you when you’ll need replacements and upgrades of appliances with other materials. That way, we know you won’t overdo or underdo it. If we design your home, we know how long your floor will take till repainting or how long it may take till you replace some fixtures. It will take really long but at the same time, how you use your space is what will determine how long. Ensure that if anything needs replacing, do not hold back, go on and do it. This will enhance your home looks and maybe help with another related item. For instance, if your roof starts leaking and you do not replace it with time, damage on the ceiling will follow. For that matter, know when to replace and remodel. You can contact ALBO new home builders if you need to advice and service.

Study your user manuals
For every equipment we buy, we give the manuals to you so that you can reference anything about your equipment. Ensure you study the manuals and know how well you can take care of everything you own. We also can elaborate on things you aren’t sure about. This way you can know when to call for servicing, when to repair or when to replace. You’ll even save more money while you keep your house almost exactly how you found it.

Always do what’s best for your home
Taking care of your home means imprinting your brain with the safety measures for any equipment. If you can prevent scratches on your walls with your furniture by not keeping them in contact with the wall, do it. You should be mindful about anything you subject your home to. When the manufacturer’s instructions tell you to not spill liquids on certain parts of a machine, do not risk it. The equipment we install in new build homes in Oakville is of high quality. You do not have to handle too many repairs or repainting. Be mindful and teach anyone you live with to be too.
If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be in business. For that matter, we like to be of service to our clients. When you have an issue that you want us to solve, do not hesitate to call us. The moment you bought a house from us, you became our partner and we like to keep it that way. You are entitled to your rights that the warranty states and if anything happens and we are to blame, we do not hesitate to fix it. We provide you with new build homes in Oakville and ensure you keep loving them.
OUR WORK FROM CLIENTS’ VIEW
FAQs
Yes, per square foot estimates tend to be very misleading to home owners who are not aware of all details in new home construction.
It gives you a basic perspective, but does not explain details of what is included and type of materials used for all finishes. Client’s should not compare Custom Home Builders based on their preliminary estimates for construction per square foot. It goes way further into selections, quality of work and control of process.
There are 3 ways to reduce cost per square foot when building a new home.
1) Build faster and pre-order materials. Everything goes up in price and if you are able to lock it, it can reduce overall costs.
2) Larger homes cost less per square foot. Smaller homes with exactly the same quality materials will typically be more expensive per square foot.
3) Select less expensive materials, although this is the least preferred method to lower the cost of construction per square foot.
Typically garage and exterior space is excluded from calculation when pricing new home construction. Does that mean extra 500 sq ft of garage space will cost the same amount as everything else inside the house? No.
For example: 3800 sq ft modern home with triple garage and exterior covered deck can be calculated as 3800 x average $380. Large garage and exterior space such as covered decks is calculated separately and should not be more than $150-$200 per square foot.
During cost calculation for new home construction in Toronto we can assume basement staying unfinished or basic type of finishes. With more detailed plan our team can give exact cost, but at start it makes sense to stay at basic. When clients ask us if per square footage cost includes finishing basement, the answer is always “no, but basement doesn’t cost as much as main floor”. The house is already construction around basement with exterior walls, slab, ceiling and required insulation. The rest is to finish it and it is fair to assume basic finishes to be within $100 per square foot of basement space.
Before permit drawings and exact details are specified for finishes, it is simply impossible to get exact cost for home construction. Even with all details provided we are able to only estimate the cost from contractors. Remember that most of the detailed work is going to be near end of home construction, which can be a year from time of estimation and no one would guarantee prices for that long.
ALBO Homes breaks down all stages of construction for clients to understand cost of separate work and materials involved in each project.
