So what’s your Louisville dream home look like?
We thought this would be a fun topic to put on the blog and share on social media. We’d love to have your input. Not because we’re trying to sell you a home (we don’t have much inventory right now) or because we’re hoping to build your next custom contract home (although we’d gladly take you up on that). We just wanted to see how things are changing in the Louisville real estate market. So what’s your Louisville dream home look like? It seems like out are the days of 4,000 or 5,000 sq foot and above homes. Sure they … Read more

From Louisville to Orlando: International Builders Show is Coming Up
We’re heading back to the annual International Builders Show in Orlando Florida. Yes, somebody has to go from Louisville to Florida in February, so we drew the short straw. We’re one of the Louisville Builders taking one for the team. This show has been an almost annual event the last few years. We attend this show in part because I serve on the local HBAL Board of Directors, the HBAK Executive Board, and in part because even us older builders like to keep up with our industry. As we’re using Twitter, Facebook, and blogging, we have to keep up … Read more

Basement remodels, they’re a great winter project
So you’re getting ready to anchor down for winter. NFL football is in midstream, college bowl season is coming up, and basketball—well it’s just starting. You have old man winter moving in for the next 3-4 months and you’re thinking, “Man I’d like to have a cozy basement to take it all in.” If you’re the lady of the house, you might be thinking craft room, homeschool room, or kids play area. If you’re the man of the house, you’re thinking man cave. Did we mention that we provide marriage counseling along with custom building and remodeling 🙂 Either way, … Read more

Louisville Winterizing Tips — It’s Getting Cold Again
It’s November and we have been spared the snow and extreme cold to date. As we near the threshold of those cold windy days, there are some things you need to do to prevent a disaster. This time of year, just as in the spring, we experience several calls about outside faucets leaking. That usually means someone has forgotten to disconnect the hose on the nights we have a light freeze. Why does this happen? First of all, most faucets are not designed to allow a hose to remain connected during a freeze. Even a “frost proof” faucet is not … Read more

Rocky Pusateri of Elite Homes talks about 2012 Homearama at Shakes Run
Rocky Pusateri of Elite Homes talks about many of the benefits of building a Homearama home in 2012 at Shakes Run. We figure Rocky hit on all the high points, so we’ll list the bullets here and you can watch the quick video for the rest. He summarizes it well as he usually does. Shakes Run gives you the feel of the country (think Spencer or Shelby county but without the bedroom community feel) but has the city life within three miles at the Gene Snyder in Middletown (think churches, Target, Kroger, schools, and restaurants like Wild Eggs). A home … Read more

Groundbreaking event at A Winning Smile Dental
PL Lyons has recently broke ground on a new commercial construction project for A Winning Smile Dental Center.

The pictures and video below show the initial demolition that took place as well as where the actual new addition will stand. Stay tuned as we document the progress of this job up to its finishing stages. We look forward to working with Dr. Witte … Read more
