This summer has brought much to be thankful for to Atlanta custom construction and renovating company – Highlight Homes – with even more promise just on the horizon. In every installment of Shades & Highlights, we often credit our inspiration to people, companies and products related to our industry. However, this month we take a look outside to the climate – both weather-related and economic, and to one of Atlanta’s most iconic neighborhoods. We also pay homage to the fine art of designing and building a home from the ground up.

Sunshine: The 30-year average for rain fall in Atlanta during the month of June is less than 4 inches. This year, Atlantans saw more than 9.5 inches fall during June alone – spoiling countless pool days, parades, and picnics. Until just recently, July hasn’t proven much better. Highlight Homes would like to say “Thank You” to our clients for understanding that we have no control over the weather. One of the benefits of working closely with a company like ours is that when Mother Nature has other plans on the days when we are scheduled to be working outdoors, we can adjust our construction schedule to tackle indoor renovation projects until the sun shines once more.

Low Interest Rates: We love the fact that interest rates have been at historically low levels for some time now. Not only are they favorable for buyers of our custom construction homes, low interest rates also benefit our clients who finance their home renovation projects.  Rumor has it that as the housing industry continues to recover and home prices begin to rise, interest rates will follow suit. Now may be the best time to lock in a low interest rate and tackle that home improvement project you’ve been considering.

Custom Homebuilding: After six long years away from one of our favorite segments of the business, Highlight Homes is delighted to be building again. While we have truly enjoyed focusing on the renovation side of our company – and will continue to do so – nothing beats the feeling of designing a home and building it from the ground up. We so enjoy working closely with our homebuyers to add those unique touches that make it all their own. We have several more custom home construction projects lined up over the coming months – so stay tuned to our Pinterest and Facebook pages for photos and updates!

Buckhead Area of Atlanta: As one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods, Buckhead is a major draw for discerning homebuyers.  It’s proximity to Downtown Atlanta provides ease of commute, as well as convenience to some of the city’s finest shopping and dining establishments. A blend of both old and new money, Buckhead encompasses tree-lined streets that are graced with historic manors, sprawling Tudor estates, and charming bungalows.  The site that many Atlanta fashion trends stem from, Buckhead is also home to a growing housing trend – tear it down and rebuild. Highlight Homes’ latest project involves the tear-down of an outdated ranch home, which will soon be replaced with a sprawling 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom, 3-car garage estate – complete with gourmet kitchen, Master-on-Main, coffered ceilings, covered porches, brick-and-stone exterior, and so much more!
