When buying a newly constructed home in a development or community, sign on the dotted line as soon as possible. Purchasing a new home in Southern California early allows you more choices, not only in the room configurations but also cabinets, counter-tops, appliances, lighting, fixtures and color selections.
This expands your decorating options and eliminates the expense of replacing those materials later; you know, the ones you would have never chosen. Buyers don’t like pre-selected options. Decorating the interior of a new home can be a daunting task, but also fun to get the whole family involved while watching your new home being constructed.
The challenge of decorating what effectively is a blank canvas in the easiest and most cost-effective way can be met with a few simple steps.
- First choose the theme or style you want your home to portray. Select paint colors for the interior walls. Painting the rooms of your new home is the quickest and least expensive way to give it personality and style. The color scheme throughout your home should be consistent with your visual aesthetic and compliment your possessions. A general rule of thumb is the lighter the shade of color, the more open and airy the room will feel; the darker the shade, the cozier it will seem. It’s a good idea to plan a couple days between your escrow closing and moving in to your new home to paint. It’s much easier to paint before your furniture is in place.
- Define your family’s lifestyle. Build on furniture you already own. When purchasing upholstered furniture for your new home, the simplest yet most forward-thinking thing you can do is to choose timeless pieces that fit into your color scheme. By doing this, you will ensure that the furniture will not become outdated quickly.
- Last, don’t forget the accessories! Unlike furniture, they do not have to be user friendly. Rugs, artwork, vases, draperies and the like are objects with which you may be your most creative. If you love it, use it. The most important principal of decorating a new home is to reflect the true you.

Requesting warranty service on a new home in Utah is sometimes stressful and often, overly complicated and frustrating. When family and friends hear I work in the warranty department for a home builder, many of them have nightmarish stories to share of trying to get service from their builder. FieldStone’s Warranty Department prides itself on taking care of the customer and always searching out a win/win solution whenever possible. But this doesn’t always mean things go perfectly smooth.
Regardless of who your builder is or what their policies are toward Warranty Service, here are a few suggestions that might help you in your quest to get repairs taken care of.
- Be nice. Everyone is doing the best they can. Don’t be a push over, but being nice to your warranty rep is definitely to everyone’s advantage.
- Agree to disagree. Sometimes an item just isn’t covered by the warranty. Fighting about it usually doesn’t help.
- Know whats covered: Read the manual the builder provided to you and know what is covered or not covered.
- Understand that many items will be covered by warranty and some items are clearly homeowner maintenance issues.
- Know the builders policy regarding submitting a request – and follow it. It’s much easier to get service if you follow the rules.
Okay, maybe I’m a little biased. I can admit it. But these just make sense to me both as a warranty employee and as a homeowner. Besides, knowing the rules and playing nice are good advice in any situation.

The framing and mechanical, which is the third step of the FieldStone Certified Home Program is complete at the new model park at Northeast Crossing. The models are really taking shape and look great! The sheetrock has been delivered and we are ready to drywall.
The REHAU Plumbing System has also been installed. This advanced plumbing system consists of RAUPEX PEX pipe and the EVERLOCK fitting system.

It provides years of consistent flow and water pressure, resists scaling and deposit build-up, quiet operations and has a 25-year limited warranty. This is another great feature of buying New Homes in San Antonio.
