You spend a lot of time in your home. I imagine you use your home much like we use ours. It’s home-base. Your home is a safe-house from the traffic, rush, and clutter of the outside world. It’s a blank slate you get to clean, paint, and decorate as you see fit. Your home is an expression of yourself. Do you like your home? Is there something you don’t like? We know you said yes. Chances are there will always be something in a “cookie-cutter” designed home that you don’t like. Stop staring at it. That won’t make it go away. Call us. We are home builders in Utah County. We also do remodeling. We can handle the big projects you don’t think you can do yourself.

Is there a wall between you and your kids? Knock it down. Do you like those plasticy counter tops? Replace them. Don’t you think a splash of cantera stone would look good around the fireplace? We do. Take a look at what you don’t like and give us a call. We can help you find an affordable and classic finish for your home. After all, this is where you live. Live in beautiful spaces.

Remodeling is cheaper than building a custom home (we can help with that too!). We want you to go to bed at night and not think about that toilet downstairs that doesn’t work unless you lift the drawstring inside the tank. Much less the chipped wood floors in the upstairs guest room.

It is time you took control of your pallet. You are the artist here. Get out your brush and paint! Let’s fix up this old clunker until it’s a classic. We want you to be proud to have your friends and family over for dinner.

Bring us your plans and we will help you. We know about how much it will cost to put mahogany book shelves in the wall. We can help you get started.

Make your home how you want it. You spend far too much time there to not make it your own. Live in beautiful spaces and work with Cloward Construction!

There a couple things you can do to express your vision. Start by putting your dream home on paper. When you start to envision your dream home, write down all of the things you want to include on the inside and outside of your home. Write about the location, the interior, the exterior, yard, neighborhood and even your neighbors. Any tiny detail can be written down to make your vision clearer. Make sure you have that list of features with you when you come and see us about your dream home.

Want to create a visual? Professionals can help you with that but first, try creating your own sketches of your dream home. If you can put your thoughts into a picture, they can become much more understandable to others.

Try making a Collage. Cut out pictures you find of all the elements you desire for your dream home and paste them onto paper. Bring this with when you visit us and we can help us understand your vision for your dream home.

Envisioning your dream home is the first step to making it a reality. Sharing your drawing, collage, writing, sketches or whatever you choose is a great way for you to convey your vision of a dream home to others. Sharing that vision with Cloward Construction Co could be your ticket to making your dreams a reality.

So you’re in the market for a new home. There are some things you can do to ensure you get the home of your dreams.

Because there isn’t a lot of inventory, buyers often end up in bidding wars on property, with the house going, of course, to the highest bidder. With that in mind don’t waste your or the sellers time with low-ball offers. Homes these days are selling pretty close to the list price and it’s best not to make an offer for anything less than 4% below the list price.

You also cannot buy a house based on looks alone. Do your research. Look into the area and do price comparisons. It can also be helpful to get information on the location from existing neighbors. This can give you a better idea of the full picture before you make an offer.

It is important to create a financial plan to determine if now is actually a good time for you to buy. Just because the market is improving, does not mean it is necessarily a good time for you to buy. Create a plan to determine what you can afford to purchase and how much you can afford each month.

Play it smart when choosing financing. It is common knowledge that small banks and even credit unions offer lower rates; but they also tend to be less strict in underwriting. To ensure you are getting the best deal, get lending estimates from one financial institution and show it to another lender and see if they think they can beat it or are at least willing to match it. This tactic often works because lenders are willing to offer better pricing than their competitors.

There are a number of other things you can do as a buyer to ensure you’re getting a good deal such as saving for a down payment, finding an agent, getting an appraisal and home inspection, and getting a copy of your credit report. It is important to correct any errors, or fix any problems on your report before starting the lending process.
