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.

There are many steps that go into remodeling a home. It starts with an idea in the homeowners mind that they would like something different. It may come out of a need to repair something that is not functioning properly in a home. Regardless of why someone feels the need to remodel a home, the first thing they need to do is come up with a design. If you want to look at some potential designs for a home, check out one of the many remodeling websites that helps you turn the designs into reality. Not all sites will be the same, but they will all follow a fairly basic pattern.

• Start out by finding what the homeowner wants. The wish list can be as big or as small as a homeowner chooses. They may want to repaint a room or they may want to tear down walls and create new space. The sites will go through a series of questions to help determine what an individual wants, what kind of space they have to work with and what is possible to do.

• Come up with a preliminary design – this is the time when people do not have to worry about how much everything will cost. It will show them what is possible and what can be done. This design will be modified as the homeowner makes decisions about what they really want and need.

• Finalize the design – Once the homeowner has the design they like and they think they can afford it, the designs can be finalized. These will be the designs that will be used when the actual remodeling occurs.

• Find a contractor – Once you have the designs, you can find someone to do the work. If you are going to do the work yourself, the designs will tell you what materials you need to accomplish the job. The websites can make this process easier. Even if you never follow through with the actual remodeling, at least you will learn what is possible to make your home the way you want it.
