Design Trends & Finishes that Maximize your Investment

A project starts with great design for your lifestyle and a good plan for building, but that is not the end of the story. Literally thousands of products go into the making of a home, and they have a huge impact on not only the final price of constructing a home, but also long-term maintenance and how well the home holds its value. Join Jen Hinesman as she talks about strategies to maximize your enjoyment of your new home for the long-term:

• The design-build approach and building your team
• Getting the most out of your finish details
• Colors, textures and flow in a home
