Help Sterling Custom Homes and Gary Make a Wish Come True

Sterling Custom Homes’ sales director Gary Grambley is committed to making a difference in the Austin community as well as the lives of children suffering from life-threatening diseases.

Grambley has been fundraising for his upcoming participation in the San Antonio Rock & Roll Marathon for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, and one of the area’s top Austin home builders, Sterling Custom Homes, has pledged to match his fundraising efforts up to $2,500!

Earlier this year, Sterling Custom Homes donated $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central and South Texas for every new Facebook “Like” the builder received on its fan page (http://www.facebook.com/sterlingcustomhomes), up to 300 total fans.

Grambley aims to raise $5,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central and South Texas. This amount is the monetary donation it takes to grant one of the children’s wishes. “Training for a marathon is a long, difficult endeavor,” said Grambley. “Knowing that my efforts will benefit a child in need will provide me with an added incentive when I hit the road for the 16, 18 and 20 plus mile training runs.”

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® (http://www.wish.org/) has been granting wishes to enhance the lives of children suffering from life-threatening medical conditions. Nearly 25,000 volunteers help make the foundation’s work possible and enable the non-profit to grant a child’s wish every 40 minutes.

If you would like to help Grambley reach his goal, donations can be made online at https://secure.wish.org/ourfriends/031-000/garygrambley.htm.

No Job Too Unique for Construction Resources

While new residential and commercial construction is the norm for Construction Resources, no job is too unique for them to tackle. The Atlanta construction product and remodeling company just completed a project on a historic home in Newnan, Ga.

The 160-year-old Moss Home has an interesting story. It once sat on the outskirts of the city in Coweta county, until it was eventually moved in town. The Newnan-Coweta Historical Society recognized the importance of preserving the homes stunning architecture, and at one time owned the home.

Now under a new owner, the house has undergone a facelift. Construction Resources provided several elements of the historic estate, including limestone countertops, a marble-covered island in the kitchen as well as marble vanities and glass shower doors in the master suite.

Luxury New Homes in Thriving City

While other cities still struggle to regain their footing after the economic downturn, one city remains stable and is actually thriving despite recent hardships. Austin, Texas is still doing well. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that the city has grown since 2000 and the Bureau of Labor Statistics report that Austin’s unemployment rate is under the national average, making the city a viable location for buyers searching for Austin luxury real estate.

Not only is the city flourishing economically, but it is also a cultural hotspot known for its unique local art and music scenes, rich history and beautiful landscapes.

Sterling Enhances Driveway Application

Always thinking of ways to improve its home building process and please buyers, Sterling Custom Homes is improving its rap-“pour”-t again! This Austin home builder has come up with a new application that gives driveways of their luxury Austin homes a unified finishing touch.

“So many times it doesn’t cost any more to implement a change like the driveway/garage apron improvement,” said Vick Pope, vice president of construction at Sterling Custom Homes. “It only requires the desire to constantly improve, and the mindset that never accepts things as the way they’ve always been done.”

In standard methods other builders use, driveway material is poured up to the exterior of the garage apron, leaving an exposed meeting place between the home’s driveway and foundation. The driveway and foundation are often two different materials or finishes, and this discontinuity can be seen by residents and visitors alike.

However, Sterling Custom Homes has bettered this process, and buyers can now have a seamless flow from the driveway to the foundation of their Austin luxury real estate. The new process involves Sterling dropping the foundation at the garage’s apron, which allows the driveway to end at the point where the garage door meets the concrete. This simple process provides a seamless flow from the driveway to the garage with a professionally finished look.

Sterling Custom Homes demonstrates this dedication to detail in other aspects of their home building as well. For more information, visit the Sterling Custom Homes website today.

Design Trends for New Homes in Austin

Sterling Custom Homes has been helping its Austin area clients design unique floor plans for more than 20 years. By adding several different types of custom home features, the luxury home builder can customize each home to fit individual needs. Whether you need more space to accommodate a growing family or want to create a home that will blow your friends and family away with that wow factor, you’ll love what Sterling can do.

Homebuyers who need extra play space for their children (or for themselves) will love the versatile combination media and game room. By combining both rooms, homeowners can entertain freely with more public and social access to a large viewing screen.

One of the most popular rooms in the new homes in Austin built by Sterling Custom Homes is the outdoor living space. Temperature can be regulated by misters and heaters; and it provides an area where homeowners can relax, enjoy beautiful weather or entertain.

However, if you really want to impress your friends and family, then you should consider the addition of a disappearing glass wall. An interlocking glass door system that pockets into the wall, it creates a seamless flow from inside of your home to an outdoor living area that usually features breathtaking views of Austin’s Hill Country or lake views.

These are just some of the many custom home options offered by Sterling Custom Homes. For more information, visit the home builder’s website.
