New Home Offices | El Paso Home Builders

,

Your home office in your new home doesn't need to have it's own room. With good organization, your office can share a space with a bedroom or living room and look clean. Plus, there are several ways your can dress up your new office so it suits the style of your new home!

Shelves

Utilize space the best way with shelves above the desk and cabinets below the work surface.

Desk Less

You may not even need a desk. Cork boards, storage pockets, and a three-tired shelving unit may be all you need!

No Mess Charging Area

In today's world, we constantly need to charge our phones, tablets, and laptops. Gather all of your office supplies into a single cabinet and add a charging station, so you have a single area to recharge devices and store pens, paper, and file folders.

Keep it Stylish

There's no reason why your office area can't look good! Buy matching folders, boxes, and supplies for a colorful flow. Floating shelves are also a great choice!

Hidden Office

If you have a small desk space flushed against a wall, install a curtain in front of it. When you're not using your office, you can easily hide it.


 

Child Proofing Your New Homes | El Paso Home Builders

One of the many advantages of buying a new home from Pointe Homes is that you know it is safe and uses the top quality materials. If you have a baby or small children, it is important to you take the right steps to child proof your new home so they always stay safe.

 

Outlet Covers

Use these everywhere in the house! Prevent your child from sticking anything in the outlets.

Cabinet Latches/Locks

Toxic cleaning products should be moved to a high cabinet that a child can not reach. However, if you cannot move them there, a cabinet latch is the perfect solution. 

Safe Window Treatments

Window blinds with cords can be a chocking hazard to young children and pets. Cordless blinds and shutters are a safer alternative.

Check Your House Plants

There are a lot of house plants that are poisonous. Be sure to check all your plants and keep the dangerous ones out of your new home. 

Baby Gates

Baby gates serve several purposes. If you have stairs in your new home, gates will keep your baby away from them. If you have pets, it's good to use gates to keep your child away from the pet food that can be a choking hazard.

Stove Guards and Knob Covers

If a child sees you twisting the stove knob, they'll want to do the same. Make the stove in your new home inaccessible to children with knob covers and guards. 

Avoid Sharp Edges

Coffee tables, hearths, TV stands, and window ledges can be right at eye level for short stacks. Cushion all sharp edges on coffee tables, tv stands, and ledges with corner guards.

Toilet Locks

Toilet locks in the bathroom will prevent accidental drownings and keep your child away from any germs in the water.

Pointe Homes knows buying a new home is very important, but even more important is keeping your family safe! Follow these and other safety tips to enjoy your new home in the safest way possible.

Keeping Your New Home Warm | El Paso Home Builders

The weather is cooling down quite a bit here in El Paso this week. We know heating new homes can get expensive. To help cut heating costs, there are some things you can do around your house to help! Huffington Post gives their tips.

By closing off unused rooms, you can help prevent cold air from moving around the house and help contain the heat you've generated. 

Believe it or not, your ceiling fan can also help! "By setting them clockwise in the winter at a lower speed, you can drive warm air down towards you and your guests."

Add some layers to your floor. "Floors account for as much as 10 percent of heat loss if they're not insulated, according to the National Energy Foundation, andrugs can be that missing insulation. They'll keep cool air from seeping up into the room..."

Grab some foil from your kitchen and put it behind the radiators in your home. It will reflect heat back into the home and not let it escape through the walls. 

Move that furniture around your new home and keep it away from windows. "Sitting by the window can cause radiant heat loss from your body to the glass make you feel cold."

And of course, blankets, sweaters, and hot water bottles still do the trick!

Buying a new home is a big investment, and any penny you can save is important! By following simple tips like these, you can help keep your heating bills low in your new home this cold season.

Cleaning Stove Tops in New Homes | El Paso Home Builders

,

When you buy or build your new home, everything is brand new: New paint, new floors, new fixtures, and new appliances. To help keep all these things looking new over time, it's a great idea to take the proper care for them.

To help keep your new appliances clean in your home, follow these tips! To clean stubborn cooked-on stains on glass tops, soak the area in the strongest cleaner your cook top can handle and with a single-edged scraper, scrape slowly and firmly. Be careful not to press too hard and hold the scraper at a 30-40 degree angle. After you have scraped the stains, wipe the cook top clean.

Grates from a gas cook top can be run in the dishwasher as long as you check your manual to make sure it is safe. For cooked- on stains on grates, soak them in warm, soapy water and scrub gently. A scouring pad can be used if they are not coated and for coated grates, use a sponge. 

For electric stover burners in new homes, remove them from the stove top when they are completely cool. Most should slide out with a gentle tug and lift from the connection point. Using a cloth and mild dish soap and water, rinse any residue from the burner coils. Take care not to get any part of the the electrical connection wet, and don't submerge any part of the burners. For cooked-on stains, make a paste from baking soda and water, then apply it to the tough spot. Give it about 20 minutes to sit, then scrub and rinse the burner. Make sure the burners are completely dry before you try to replace them.

Buying a new home is an important step in your life so be sure to take good care of it. If you are ready to see some new homes, give us a call! We offer over 30 floor plans and have several model homes available to see. We are one of the top home builders in El Paso and currently building in several new communities.

Buying New Homes vs. Renting

,

Owning a new home is one of the most important and exciting moments in your life. We know it can also be a bit scary. Don't worry. There are several benefits to buying a new home rather than renting.  

1. It is YOUR home: In your new home, you have complete freedom to style it as you wish. You can paint the walls, attach permanent fixtures in the walls, and landscape as you please. You never have to worry about checking in with a landlord beforehand. 

2. Tax Advantages.: Owning a new home may allow you to deduct a portion of mortgage interest and property taxes from your federal and state income taxes. We recommend consulting with a tax advisor first to make sure you are receiving any benefits you deserve. 

3. Building Equity: Over time, you home can increase in value. And this means, you have the opportunity to build equity, which can allow you the choice to take out a second loan for home improvements, tuition, emergency expenses and more. 

These are just a few of several benefits to owning a new home. Weigh your options and look at all the pros of buying or building a new home. At Pointe Homes, we want to help you achieve that dream! Give us a call today and find out how we can build for you!

Finding the Right Home | El Paso Home Builders

What are you looking for in a new home? Everybody has different needs and priorities. The style and type of new home you buy or build should reflect your lifestyle and what is most important to you.

If you have children, think about some options that might make things easier. Think about the layout of your new home. With small children, keeping their room near the master suite makes it easier to check-in on them in the middle of the night. In the kitchen, a walk-in pantry might be a feature to consider in the kitchen if you want more storage space. And speaking of the kitchen, a kitchen opening to a great room will let you keep an eye on your children while you are in the kitchen.

An open great room is also a great idea if you are planning to entertain in your new home. If you are busy preparing in the kitchen, an open area will allow you to still mingle with everyone. If you love to entertain outdoors, how about some sliding doors to a large backyard patio? It'll make the entire home feel open.

What other needs are important to you in your new home? Share your great ideas with us! We are one of the best home builders in El Paso and can help you find the right home for you or build you a custom home from scratch. Give us a call at 915-790-1515!

Cleaning Granite Countertops | New Homes El Paso

,

We know buying a new home is a huge investment, so it is important to take good care of your home details and features. When buying or building your new home, granite is a great choice for countertops because it is resistant to scratches, water, heat, and bacteria. And although it is very durable, it's a good idea to take the proper steps to maintain it.

Help your granite countertop stay resistant from stains by always using coasters, trivets, and keeping bottles of cooking oils off the counter. Sealing a granite countertop is a good option because it keeps the surface more resistant to stains. 

If a spill occurs on the countertop, be sure to blot the stain with a paper towel as opposed to wiping it to avoid spreading the spill. Immediately clean the area with water and mild dishwashing soap. Avoid cleaners that contain acids such as lemon or vinegar, or ammonia or bleach. You can even find cleaners that are made especially for granite countertops. 

Granite is just one of the many features Pointe Homes offers for our new homes. Our features list can be modified to suit your needs and budget. Give us a call today at 915-790-1515 to find out what we offer in our new homes!

    Garage Storage in New Homes | El Paso Home Builders

    The garage in new homes can very quickly become cluttered! But there are several ways to organize and store everything. HGTV gives their tips on easy garage storage.

    To help divert attention, "hang coat hooks for jackets and hats...To draw the eye away from clutter, turn the wall into an eye-catching space." How about a different painted wall to be used to hang pictures?

    There are also plenty of options for storage. "There are lots of options at various costs for garage shelving. The most crucial point is to provide enough shelving to store your items but to not cover every wall."

    And the wall isn't the only place that can be used for storage. The ceiling can also be utilized! Try adding hooks to the ceiling to hang bikes or other sports equipment. And if you just want to hide everything for a clean look, a "humidity-controlled closet" in your new homes is a good option!

    Pointe Homes is one of the best home builders in El Paso that will provide you with several feature options for your new home. Hardwood floors are a classic and timeless choice for new homes that can work with both traditional styles and contemporary ones. 

    It is also important that the proper care is taken with hardwood flooring. Better Homes and Gardens shared their tips for keeping them looking good! In new homes, the last thing you want is marks all over your new floors. To prevent scratches by "using floor protectors under furniture and by using rugs in play areas to ensure children's toys don't scratch the floor."

    For basic weekly cleaning, go over your floors with a vacuum with a floor-brush attachment. For deeper cleanings to remove dirt and grime, "use a wood-cleaning product diluted according to the label instructions. Saturate a sponge or rag mop in the water, then wring it almost dry so it feels only slightly damp to the touch. Damp-mop the floor...and rinse with a clean mop dampened in clear water...Wipe up excess liquid because standing water can damage wood surfaces."

    At Pointe Homes, we are proud to serve El Paso with new and custom homes. We know your house is very important to you, so be sure to take good care of it. To read more tips from Better Homes and Gardens, click here.

    Custom Lighting Fixtures | El Paso Home Builders

    , ,

    Lighting can help set the atmosphere of a room in new homes. And the type of fixture you choose can help give homes a custom touch that defines your style and taste. Lighting fixtures do not always need to be placed in their usual settings. For example, add some elegance to your bathroom with a sparkling chandelier. And if you prefer chandeliers in their more traditional home settings, like a dining room, choosing one that defines your style can add a focal point in the room.

    Some other custom light features that can be added to new homes are colored LED lights. Installed under your cabinets, they can add a unique look to your kitchen. And of course, lighting inside the cabinets is a practical touch, yet custom touch. 

    And a simple way to easily adjust the ambience of a room is with a dimmer. Dimmers are inexpensive and can be installed in the entire home or in each individual room.

    There are several new home builders in El Paso, but if you are looking for the top quality builder who can provide you with new and custom homes, outstanding workmanship, and excellent customer service, look no further than Pointe Homes. We can help build your dream home!
