Building your dream home is one of the most exciting things you’ll ever do. It’s also one of the most time-consuming, challenging, costly, and nerve-wracking things you’ll ever do. When choosing to work with a custom home builder, it is imperative you do your research. Some Florida builders will consider themselves custom builders, but this is not always the case.

Let’s start with deciphering between production builders and custom builders.

Production builders focus on one thing: volume. They can build more, cost effective homes in a short amount of time. Because of this, production builders offer their customers a limited amount of options. Though production builders create beautiful, simplistic homes, they limit buyers with their lack of flexibility.

The alluring factor of custom builders is the workability buyers have when creating the home of their dreams. With custom home builders, consumers are able to make important decisions with their home from anything as miniscule as cabinet finishes to large-scale projects such as a three-car garage.

Some production builders position themselves as a “custom” home builder. Aforementioned, they are not truly custom. While you are able to decide features such as choosing between wood and tile flooring, that is the most customization you are presented with.

On the other hand, custom home builders like Sam Rodgers, work with you through every step of the home-building process, reassuring that every one of your needs and desires find their place in your dream home. Custom builders secure strong relationships with the top artisans, craftsmen, and tradespeople to ensure that every home is built with the highest quality and within your budget.

When you work with custom home builders like Sam Rodgers Homes, the possibilities are endless. With fresh designs, customized home plans, and superior craftsmanship Sam Rodgers has defined Luxury Without Limits for over 50 years.

One space in particular with the most cutting-edge features is the living room. The living room is where you entertain guests, host game nights, and unwind after a long day at the office. Make your living room uniquely yours with Sam Rodger’s wonderful team of design experts! From flooring to smart-home technology, making a statement with these modern upgrades is just the perfect touch to a home.

Flooring

Flooring is the foundation of every home—literally. Your floors see everything: baby’s first steps, drink spills, puppy accidents, and everything in between. Just because flooring is under your feet doesn’t mean it has to be boring. From tile to carpet, the custom upgrade possibilities are endless. Pro tip: to give your home a unique look by rearranging flooring to create a chevron pattern throughout a home rather than installing a darker, traditional hardwood. Make your flooring fun!

Ceilings

Customizing your ceiling is one of the easiest ways to give your home the illusion of space. Vaulted ceilings create an airy feel throughout the home. Did you know crown molding can be used for more than just your windows and doors? Adding crown molding to your ceiling not only creates depth–it also acts as a unique work of art. Is your personal style farmhouse rustic? Incorporate wooden beams to your ceiling to act as the finishing touch in your home.

Smart Upgrades

Bring your home into 2019 with in-home automation! State-of-the-art home upgrades include Smart Thermostats, Smart Locks, and Amazon Echo Dots. These Vitex Systems products can be integrated through a high-quality, low-voltage smart home system using voice activation (or even through an app), and you won’t need to waste time worrying about the little things. Is the room feeling a little too warm? Wondering about your work commute traffic? Just say the word! Not only is the Vitex technology already built into The Genoa model home, but the tech is an available option for every Sam Rodgers home.

So, is your living room actually livable? As a long-standing luxury builder, Sam Rodgers Homes prides itself as a reliable, high-quality builder.
