The best part about building a custom home is that you get to make it to what works best for you and your family! Your preferences, style, and lifestyle are at the forefront; you don't have to worry about upgrading or changing because it was built for you. 

In addition, you get to choose the type of house, if a bungalow is your style or a two-story townhouse. The number of floors and square footage you have can significantly affect the cost to build and how much you'll pay for heating once your home is complete. 

As well as how easy it is to maintain and move around in, and so much more.

But how do you know if a single-story home is right for you?

What is a Single-Story Home?

Single-story homes are homes that have one level on the ground. Most homes in Canada have a basement. However, the basement level often does not count as a story on its own as it is below ground level; though, single-family homes don't always need or have a basement level.

Advantages of a Single-Story Home

If you have small children, are looking to build a vacation home, or build a home that you can retire in, single-story homes can have significant advantages to a two-story house.

Here are five advantages of a single-story home:

• More per square footage living space
• More energy efficient
• Simpler to design
• Safer to navigate
• Perfect for any and every stage of life

Disadvantages of a Single-Story Home

With any that's great, there is always a downside. The downside doesn't have to be a big one. Still, when it comes to thinking about your dream custom home, it is always essential to have all of the information to make the best and informed choice!

Here are three disadvantages of a single-story home:

• Cost for per square footage
• Less privacy 
• Potential lack of space

From business owners to career professionals to homebuyers, 2020 has been a strange and tumultuous year. 

Even we were not immune to the effects of the pandemic. Homes had to go on hold, lumber prices rose, and new homes' planning went on hiatus; while things have gone back to as normal as possible (homes are being built, interest rates are lower, etc.), the future is still uncertain.

That is why we are so excited to introduce some exciting news! 

Lindal Homes and Fine Point Cedar Homes are offering a new Reserve Program for 2021.

So, what is the Reserve Program?

Our Reserve Program will allow you peace of mind in your home building journey, in that your Lindal home costs are locked in. 

There will be no surprises or fees from left field.

How Does it Work?

A minimum down payment guarantees today's pricing for delivery until September 30th, 2021! 

What's more, we are currently the only supplier of homes that is doing this!

What Does That Look Like?

The way we do it is to break the Purchase and Sales Agreement (PSA) deposit into two equal deposits spread out over the design and drafting process. You won't need to come up with the money all at once! And with the lower interest rates, there has never been a better time to build a home.

1) 1st Half of the full PSA deposit now, 2nd half PSA Deposit due at sign-off of preliminary plans.

2) This will allow price protection for up to one year after PSA. The price is good for 30-60 days after the Design Service Agreement (DSA) or regular price date.

3) The closing date is November 30th, 2020.

There is also an early bird bonus! You will receive a FREE large door upgrade if your PSA is received before October 31st!

If you are looking for a quality home and building experience with guaranteed pricing, and lifetime warranties that are not found anywhere in the industry, then you have come to the right place. Doug and Barb provide all that and red carpet service!

Check out our customer reviews and photo of the house built by Doug and Barb. This will help you envision what your dream home could look like and hear from others what it was like to build with them and work with them.

Doug and Barb would love to chat once you have secured your lot. Once that is done, they can walk and tour the site with you and help you envision what can be built on your plot!

Don't miss out on the fantastic chance to lock in the price of your home. We may not know what the future will hold, but you will always need a comfortable and cozy space for you and your family!
