Our Gerard Construction team will be among the first to admit that there are a number of hot days around the corner. The August heat beats down on us whether we are helping you plot out the best placement for a new build on your acreage, or if we are measuring space for the new addition to your existing home.

Of all the details people may imagine about building their dream home or renovating their existing home, cabinet hardware may not be high on the list of things to consider ahead of time.

Here are a few tips our construction and design team recommend for your home.

While not immediately noticeable, the backsplash of your kitchen is a great way to add interest and a pop of color as you think about the design aspects of the space. While you will want to think about your cabinet color or stain and structure when you are choosing your backsplash, there are so many options to consider. Gerard Construction can help you choose a perfect backsplash on your new build or on the renovation you are contemplating for your home.

Gerard Construction knows that building a new home is an exciting start for any family or individual, of any age. Picking a custom home builder may feel a little less exciting, especially when you see how many options are possible. You want the freedom a custom home can provide, but you also want the home builder that is going to work best for you. Gerard knows this is a big choice, so we have a number of questions, and answers, any custom home builder should be able to field.

Changing your space isn’t just about putting up walls or picking out tile, instead, your space can support the way you live your life, making it more functional. Design creates this function, in addition to making your space beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

It’s not only a new year, but it is also a new decade and we here at Gerard Construction cannot wait to meet the individuals and families who we will get to partner with to build their homes. Along with the change in calendar comes a new set of trends and techniques which means each of the homes we create may take on a few of these new design ideas.
