Include the Cost of Window Coverings in Your New Home!

Most folks don’t consider the cost of window coverings until they move into their new home. This cost can be included into a monthly mortgage payment, from what we understand.

Imagine moving in to your new home complete with custom coverings; instead of living in a fish bowl until you have the extra money to order your new blinds. Including the price of a typical window and door covering package into a new mortgage may increase a typical monthly mortgage payment by about $4 - $9 per month, depending on the type you choose. Now doesn’t it make more sense to include this necessity into your house payment?

Remember to shop online for your window coverings to save the most dollars. We have a ton of resources and are happy to hold your hand during this wonderful new home venture! Call us for more info - 870-931-5777 or email steph.nelson@nelsondesigngroup.com!

Home Design House Plan Search…

Are your eyes burning from going through house plans galore on your computer? Don’t give up if you aren’t finding the right home plan. Remember, if you enter too much information in the boxes on our NDG plan search page you may be limited to fewer designs. For example, if you want a 3rd car garage bay just leave that box blank because we can always expand a garage size. Although we have one of the most user-friendly home design search pages it’s still a little tricky. Call us and we’re happy to assist you in finding The Perfect Home Plan ! 800-590-2423 or email info@nelsondesigngroup.com.

Your Window Choice is Vital!

Be sure that you spend as much time choosing your windows as you do picking out countertops and paint colors. These will NOT save you money nor give you a monthly savings. Invest more on the front end on things that really matter such as products that WILL save you dollars each month. What brand you choose is vital especially if your plan has a lot of windows such as NDG-606 Take time to research and ask a whole lot of questions about different types and brands. There are tax credits available which can help you upgrade to a better product for energy efficiency. Ask your friends that have recently built a new home what windows they chose and why. They’ll rave about them or complain and possibly get a little upset…then apologize for bringing up a sore subject. Hey, what are friends for?

I Need a House With a Mud Room!

Wow! I’ve never seen so much snow! It’s not a problem leaving the house but it is when you return. Chances are your entry is a mess right now like mine! One thing I hear so often when I’m assisting someone with their new homeplan is “I need a mud room!” I hear ya sister! This really isn’t a big deal to achieve but takes a little bit of creativity. We have more than 1,000 house plans and many of them have adequate space in the garage-to-house entry area. This can give a homeowner many options for “unloading” such as our new house design NDG-1339  (from our Heritage Collection of craftsman-style). In this particular design, you’ll see a larger entry and storage room that can easily transform to a “wet” or “mud” room (be sure to plan for a drain). Of course, we can make changes to our plans so be sure to call us if you have ideas or need direction – 870.931.5777 or 800.590.2423 or email steph.nelson@nelsondesigngroup.com. We’re always available!
