<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.clowardconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/beautifulHome.jpg"><img src="http://www.clowardconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/beautifulHome.jpg" alt="beautifulHome Making Home, Home" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-194" title="Making Home, Home" /></a></p>
<p>Home is where the heart is. But wouldn’t you like your heart and your family to be in the perfect home? We know how important details are in a home. We meet people who live in houses they do not like. We meet people that don’t mind their houses. We believe that you should love your house. It should be more than just a house. It should be a home. A place to rest. It should be a place of fun and happiness. Much like your favorite holiday sweater, your home should fit you just right. The kind of fit that doesn’t change with each year. Home is a place you miss on vacation. Home is a place your kids look forward to being. Even if it’s only for the weekend. How can you have a home?</p>
<p>A large part of having a home is how you use it. Another factor is how your home is designed to be used. If you are looking for family togetherness and you live in a massive two-story home, chances are you’ll find yourselves isolated in your rooms. If you want your family to dance in the kitchen you’ll need a large kitchen. If you want to watch movies together after dinner, then you shouldn’t place a wall to divide the kitchen and the living room. </p>
<p>Think about your favorite memories of home. Both the home you had as a child and the homes you’ve had since then. What made those memories possible? What would you like your home to be? Now grab a piece of paper and make a rough sketch. We know you aren’t an artist (well, maybe you are). We’ll be able to decipher your drawing. Where do you want the center of your home to be? The living room. The dining room. The game room. The backyard. Pick your focal point and make the design flow around that room. If the house is designed right you will not have to look for your family. They will be right where the house opens up and leads to. </p>
<p>If you need help designing your home, give us a call. We have experience. We know what works and what doesn’t. If you feel that a custom home would be too expensive, let us share with you a list of homes we have designed and built. Chances are one of those homes will fit your dream. And if there is a small detail that doesn’t work for you we can change it. </p>
<p>We care about your home. As home builders in Utah County, we are dedicated to you. Let us help you make your dream home.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A vision does not have to go unmentioned. A vision doesn’t have to be just for you. A vision can be shared with the people around you. Let Cloward Construction Co help you attain that dream. Envisioning your dream home comes from your heart; the feeling you get inside. The vision of your dream home is something that is personal and unique to you. With enough hard work you can help us put all the pieces of the puzzle together and your dream home can become a reality.  Let Cloward Construction Co see that your dream home becomes a reality.</p> 

<p>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.</p> 

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p> 

<p>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.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you go to buy a home, you will probably settle for some parts of the home that are not to your tastes. It is natural to want to change some things in a home you buy, many people discover that their needs from the home have changed and would like to make changes. There are also many homeowners that want to upgrade and modernize their home. It is often easier to consider remodeling your home instead of trying to sell it and find the perfect home that does not need any work.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>•	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.</p>

<p>•	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.</p>

<p>•	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.</p>

<p>•	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.</p><strong>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After years of decline the housing market has begun to bounce back. In some places the market has fully recovered. Low mortgage rates and a demand to purchase new property is encouraging homebuyers to begin buying again. In the past year alone home prices have increased in over 90 of the top 100 metro areas. It appears that the worst is behind us and the housing market will only improve in the coming years.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
