6 Unique Qualities of CarrHomes

Experience

When you’re purchasing something as important as a luxury home, it’s important to know that you’re working with an experienced team of professionals who will make sure that everything is completed on time and to your specifications. CarrHomes was founded in 1925 with a commitment to providing quality and customer satisfaction in every project, and we’ve delivered on that commitment for more than 90 years. We’ve refined our processes and are always looking for the next opportunity to deliver even more value to our clients.

Flexibility

There aren’t many luxury homes that allow you to make significant changes during the build process. For instance, you may want to move a wall to create a more open floor plan or add French doors to create a more elegant atmosphere, but many builders won’t deviate too far from their original designs.

At CarrHomes, we understand that the houses we build need to feel like homes, and that’s why we take requests from our clients and are never afraid to work with them to bring their dreams to life. If you’d like to make a change or addition to a build, all you have to do is ask.

Eco-Friendly Building Materials

CarrHomes has followed eco-friendly building practices before they were in vogue. We’ve always believed that we need to be stewards of the environment when building luxury homes, and we’ve implemented several practices that benefit both homeowners and the world we share.

Several of the eco-friendly practices we’ve implemented include:

• Using paint that is low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are known to harm both humans and the environment.
• Installing low-maintenance siding that doesn’t require significant amounts of water to clean.
• Utilizing other low-maintenance outdoor finishes to reduce the long-term carbon footprint of our homes.

Commitment to Sustainability

It’s possible to be an environmentally conscious company without being sustainable, but we’re proud to say that our practices are both. Whenever possible, we use materials that minimize the toll on the environment and use materials already in circulation. Two of the sustainable practices you’ll find in our homes include:

• Engineered wooden doors made from recycled materials instead of contributing to deforestation.
• Recycled carpet padding reduces the amount of synthetic material that needs to be created for each home.

High-Efficiency Finishes and Appliances

We’ve always believed that high-efficiency finishes and appliances should be a part of every home, and we couldn’t be more proud of the ways we help homeowners save money during the building process. Among many other upgrades in our luxury homes, you’ll find:

• High-efficiency appliances throughout the entire home.
• 13 SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) compressors that significantly reduce energy consumption.
• Slab insulation that reduces the amount of energy lost through the floor.
• Bandboard insulation to prevent heat loss through walls.

Visit our Differences You Can Feel page to learn more about how our high-efficiency appliances and finishes reduce energy consumption and reduce your home’s carbon footprint.

Community Involvement

We like to think of ourselves as home builders who give back to the communities we create. Each project we take on contributes to educational programs, and we’ve invested nearly $100,000 back into the community in the last several years. We’ve also completed eight different shelter projects, providing more than 200 Virginia residents with places to live.

The decision is ultimately yours, but it’s important to consider the advantages of buying a home over staying put. In this post, we’ll discuss five of the many reasons why this year is the perfect time to work with a luxury home builder and move into the property you’ve always wanted.

CarrHomes builds luxury homes in Oakton and many other communities in Virginia. If 2021 is the year that you’ll move into your dream home, contact us to schedule a tour. We would love to show you why 99.3% of our homeowners recommend working with us!

Fresh Start

You might love your current home, but can you see yourself there forever? Purchasing a luxury home provides you with the opportunity to get a fresh start instead of staying put. At CarrHomes, we build in some of Virginia’s most beautiful communities and provide our clients with unbelievable lots that truly showcase the natural beauty of our state.

Streamlined Process

Most of us have friends and family members who have taken on home remodeling projects, and if there’s any commonality you noticed between each project, it’s probably that the process wasn’t as straightforward as it initially seemed. Construction delays, contractor miscommunications, mistakes with certain finishes, and other unforeseen circumstances can all delay a remodel.

When you choose to build a luxury home through CarrHomes, you’ll benefit from more than 90 years of construction experience. After more than nine decades of building luxury homes, we’ve learned how to keep our timelines tight and move from one construction phase to the next without interruption. We also pride ourselves on prompt communication that keeps you in the loop every step of the way. Plus, if you’re looking to build on your lot in Loudoun County, we have the expertise and knowledge to make that process seamless and stress-free.

Home Value

If you’re debating whether you should get a new home or invest in home improvement, you should consider whether you’ll get a return on your investment when you eventually sell your current one. Unfortunately, your home’s value isn’t dependent solely on the indoor and outdoor features — the rest of the neighborhood has to be taken into consideration, too. If your home is significantly more valuable than the ones around it, you might find yourself making less off of the sale than you would in a different neighborhood with higher prices and similar finishes.

Consistency

Speaking of finishes, consistency throughout your entire home is one of the best reasons to choose a luxury home. If you only remodel certain sections of your home, you could find that certain rooms feel disjointed and that more luxurious upgrades feel out of place.

All of the luxury homes we build include incredible finishes and differences you can see and feel, and we’ve spent more than nine decades refining our designs and ensuring that every detail — no matter how small — is perfectly executed and matches the rest of the home.

Low Interest Rates

At the time of writing this post, interest rates are at historic lows. We can’t say what will happen through the rest of the year, but we can say that there’s truly never been a better time to buy a luxury home than right now!

The post 5 Reasons to Choose CarrHomes Luxury Home Builder in 2021 appeared first on CarrHomes.

of the Washington region. It was classic, timeless… and safe. Now, luxury home builder CarrHomes is challenging itself and responding to a new generation by offering an alternative style in its new Weber Place designer home community in Oakton, Virginia.

CarrHomes’ first luxury home designed with our new Craftsman Series exterior is taking shape on a wooded one-acre homesite in the heart of Oakton. Inspired by the early 20th Century demand for more handcrafted architectural detail, more welcoming facades with columned front porches, and more earth-toned textures and colorings, the Craftsman style has been re-born in a luxurious exterior look coupled with an award-winning interior design.

The four-bedroom, five-and-one-half bath Lancaster model designer home with three-car side entry garage — ready this winter — is being customized with added space. A rear morning room, side conservatory, and extended family room stretch the floorplan of this designer home to a grand 5,323 square feet. The four bedrooms on the upper level each include private full baths. And the lower level has a finished rec room, den, media room, and game room.

The Weber Place community, which offers both CarrHomes’ Colonial Series designer homes as well as their new Craftsman Series homes, is also on one of the few close-in communities with luxury homes on homesites this large. While this fully-customized Craftsman-styled Lancaster model is priced at $1,854,815, Weber Place homes start in the upper $1.5 millions.
