When you build a new home in New Jersey, choosing the right plan is crucial.

You want a design that really fits your lifestyle. But a great floor plan is only part of the equation. Building with the right materials makes a huge difference in the way your new home looks and feels. 

Here are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind as you think through what would make your New Jersey home the perfect place to be.

Ceramic or Porcelain Floor Tile

Your flooring is something you use and see every day. You want a  material for your hard-working floors that is durable, stylish, easy to clean, aesthetically pleasing, and low maintenance. 

Hardwood Floors

Oak hardwood floors can really set the tone for much of your home. They are elegantly stylish, easy to clean, and easy to maintain. Unlike carpets, they don’t trap allergens.  They’re also extremely versatile: they go with most design styles.

Kitchen Countertops

The material you choose for your kitchen counters impact the whole look and feel of your kitchen. Quartz countertops are among the most aesthetically pleasing new styles because they offer lots of rich colors, require virtually no maintenance, are easy to clean, and don’t give bacteria a place to grow. 

Faucet fixtures

Brushed nickel faucets are one of the newer trends because they don’t show water spots like some other materials. In tubs and showers, handheld sprayers are a good choice because they conserve water and make rinsing tiled walls easy after cleaning. 

Front Entry Door

Fiberglass front entry doors are secure, energy-efficient, durable (no more wood-rot), and low-maintenance. On top of that, they look great! 

Quality Windows

We use Andersen windows in the homes we build because they are durable, extremely energy-efficient, and dramatically improve a home's resale value.

Roofing Material

Most homeowners don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the shingles on their roof, but we use GAF Timberline Natural Shadow asphalt roof shingles on the homes we build. They have the highest fire rating protection, they’re durable, they withstand high winds, they’re lightweight, and their dimensional characteristics make them look great. 

Kitchen Appliances

Not only does your kitchen need to look good, it needs to work well. That’s why we use GE appliances in our homes. They’re stylish, they offer the latest cooking technology, and they’re extremely reliable. 

Kitchen Cabinets

Your kitchen cabinets will get a lot of use. And they are one of the most noticeable features in your kitchen. Soft close drawers, soft close doors, roll out trays, hidden garbage and recycling containers all help make your kitchen a great place to congregate and to prepare meals.
