At Homes By Hendriks, we believe that the line between a good home and a truly great home lies in the details. While many builders focus on meeting minimum standards, we take pride in elevating every element of the homebuilding process. It’s not always the easiest way to go, but it’s the right way—because great homes are built to last, inspire, and enhance quality of life.
Curb-less Showers: Luxury Meets Accessibility
One of the key features that distinguish a great home is the inclusion of curbless showers. Beyond their sleek, modern appearance, curbless showers offer:
- Ease of Use: Ideal for all ages and mobility levels, they create a barrier-free entry for a spa-like experience.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The seamless design integrates beautifully into bathrooms, enhancing visual flow.
- Ease of Maintenance: Fewer edges and crevices make cleaning simpler and more effective.
While traditional shower curbs are simpler and cheaper to install, curbless showers showcase the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that Homes By Hendriks is known for.
Upgraded Door Hardware: The Small Touches That Elevate a Space
Good builders may install standard-grade hardware, but great homes feature upgraded options that combine form and function:
- Durability: High-quality hardware withstands daily use while maintaining its appearance.
- Style: Sophisticated designs in finishes like brushed nickel or matte black add a touch of elegance to every door.
- Enhanced Security: Premium locks and mechanisms offer better peace of mind.
Door hardware may seem like a minor detail, but it’s one that homeowners interact with daily.
Engineered Lumber: Strength Where It Matters Most
When it comes to structural integrity, engineered lumber is a game-changer. While some builders stick to conventional materials to save time and cost, we integrate engineered lumber in key areas to ensure:
- Consistency: Unlike traditional wood, engineered lumber is free from natural defects like knots or warping, ensuring predictable performance.
- Strength: Its superior load-bearing capacity is ideal for spans in open-concept designs.
- Sustainability: Engineered products often use fewer trees while maximizing material efficiency.
This attention to structural quality means your home is built to last—and endure the test of time and trends.
Enhanced Ventilation and Energy Efficiency: A Healthier Home for Your Family
Great homes prioritize the health and comfort of their occupants. We go beyond code compliance to implement:
- Advanced Ventilation Systems: Balanced ventilation with features like HRVs (Heat Recovery Ventilators) improves air quality by reducing humidity and allergens.
- Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Tight building envelopes, high-performance windows, and upgraded insulation reduce energy use and utility bills while ensuring consistent indoor temperatures.
- Moisture Control: Proper sealing and airflow prevent mold and mildew, protecting your investment and your health.
These elements make a home not only healthier but also more comfortable and environmentally friendly.
Thoughtful Details That Define Greatness
From the visible finishes to the hidden features, the Homes By Hendriks difference lies in our refusal to settle for “good enough.” Other features that elevate a home from good to great include:
- Custom Millwork: Adding personality and craftsmanship to every corner.
