Custom Highland Village Homes – Build On Your Lot For The Perfect Home

by admin on May 18, 2012

If you already own that “perfect” piece of land in Highland Village and you’re looking to build a custom designed home, leave it to the experts at Bud Bartley to transform that perfect piece of land into your dream location with a home that’s distinctive, elegant and as beautiful as you always pictured it in your mind.

We know that when you want to build a custom home designed just the way you want it, just any old piece of land won’t do. When you already have a lot to build on, it’s likely that you’ve thought countless times about what type of home will perfectly complement the land. We’ve all seen homes that look as though the land was just meant for that particular home, whether it’s a large, upscale home built atop a hill, or a more traditional style home set at just the right angle among the trees. If your dream is to build on your own lot, we can help you achieve that “picture postcard” appeal.

As reputable custom home builders for more than 30 years, we know that even building a home on land you already own can be a real headache. Considering soil reports, lot surveys and the other aspects of getting ready to build, it can be a stressful process – not what you want when you’re looking forward to the ideal home for your family! We offer comprehensive services to make the process one that is stress-free and enjoyable. We don’t just build custom homes in Dallas and surrounding areas, we get involved in the process from beginning to end, so that you can relax and look forward to the completion of your dream home.

Custom Flower Mound Homes – Build With Your Design Preferences & Budget

by admin on May 16, 2012

Many people think they cannot afford custom homes. If a home is built to your unique tastes and design preferences, it must cost a fortune, right? At Bud Bartley Homes, we’re proud to offer custom green homes near the DFW airport that are not only distinctive, elegant and beautiful, but within most budgets as well. We know that good taste doesn’t necessarily have to mean spending a fortune! For more than 30 years, we have helped those with discriminating tastes in homes achieve their dreams through building custom homes that are cost conscious and save the homeowner substantially over time.

The major savings with a custom green home come in the form of energy costs. Most homeowners find that the costs for energy, gas and water are substantially less per square foot than with a home that is built using traditional methods. Essentially, this means that you can build a larger home on the same budget, considering your monthly utility costs will likely be equal to what you would expect to spend on a smaller home.

Today, more and more people are interested in comfortable yet elegant living, tired of the homes that are typically a mirror reflection of all of the other homes in the community. Your family is unique; your home should be one that you fall in love with, and that showcases your individual style and design tastes. Have you ever gone for a Sunday afternoon drive and noticed a home that really stood out from the average in its distinction and beauty? Your home can BE that home.

Perhaps you want a huge kitchen that’s warm and welcoming because that’s where your family spends the most time. Maybe you’d love a wide open floor plan where the family or great room flows seamlessly into the kitchen/dining room area. If you can picture it in your mind, you can live it. Imagine living the dream in affordable custom homes near shopping and the DFW airport!

At Bud Bartley Homes, we make it possible for homeowners to live extravagantly without spending extravagantly. If your dream has long been to own a home that is comfortable and inviting yet upscale and elegant, we can help you make that dream come true. Call us today, and let us put our 30-plus years of experience in building custom green Flower Mound homes to work for you.

Why Consider A Custom Green Home Rather Than Buying An Existing Home?

by admin on May 14, 2012

If you’re in the market for a new home, you may be considering an existing home in the Dallas area. New homes built by a custom home builder offer you the ability to design the home of your dreams, and live more affordably thanks to eco-friendly features that are integrated into the construction process. At Bud Bartley Homes, we believe that you can live a life of luxury and still enjoy lower energy costs, along with peace of mind knowing that your home has less negative impact on the environment.

In recent years, building homes that are environmentally friendly has become much more “main stream”. The materials, products and construction methods used in building custom green homes mean quality, distinctive homes that are safer not only for the environment, but for your family.

How can building green affect the health of your family? While you may not realize it, the air inside your home is far more polluted than the air outdoors. Much of this is due to faulty ductwork that allows dust mites, dirt and other allergens to infiltrate your home, along with potentially dangerous gasses produced by paints, carpeting and floor coverings. Too much humidity can also lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can be a threat to health. We build homes using products that produce fewer gasses, control moisture levels inside your home, and balance interior air pressure.

Older homes often mean older heating/ac systems, insufficient insulation, paint that possibly contains lead, moisture control problems and more. Wood used in construction may be rotted, which can mean sagging windows or uneven floors. For the price you would pay for an existing home, you can have a quality new home built using the finest eco-friendly materials, by expert builders who take pride in unparalleled workmanship.

As a highly respected custom home builder in the Dallas area, Bud Bartley homes brings more than thirty years of experience to our customers, building custom green homes that you will love just as much twenty years from now as you do the day you move in.
