Custom Home Builders: The CarrHomes Difference

With a housing market at its peak and record-low interest rates, it’s no surprise that many people are flocking to Virginia, especially the Oakton area, in search of the luxury homes they’ve wanted for years. Trusted custom home builders play a vital role in turning these dreams into reality.

There are several luxury custom home builders in the area, and you might find yourself wondering which one is right for you and your family. In this post, we’ll explain several qualities and qualifications that set CarrHomes apart from any other builder in the area.

If you have additional questions about who we are and the homes we build, we would love it if you got in touch with us for a consultation. You can also look through our homes in Oakton once you’ve finished learning about the CarrHomes Difference!

6 Unique Qualities of CarrHomes

Experience

When you’re purchasing something as important as a luxury home, it’s important to know that you’re working with an experienced team of professionals who will make sure that everything is completed on time and to your specifications. CarrHomes was founded in 1925 with a commitment to providing quality and customer satisfaction in every project, and we’ve delivered on that commitment for more than 90 years. We’ve refined our processes and are always looking for the next opportunity to deliver even more value to our clients.

Flexibility

There aren’t many luxury homes that allow you to make significant changes during the build process. For instance, you may want to move a wall to create a more open floor plan or add French doors to create a more elegant atmosphere, but many builders won’t deviate too far from their original designs.

At CarrHomes, we understand that the houses we build need to feel like homes, and that’s why we take requests from our clients and are never afraid to work with them to bring their dreams to life. If you’d like to make a change or addition to a build, all you have to do is ask.

Eco-Friendly Building Materials

CarrHomes has followed eco-friendly building practices before they were in vogue. We’ve always believed that we need to be stewards of the environment when building luxury homes, and we’ve implemented several practices that benefit both homeowners and the world we share.

Several of the eco-friendly practices we’ve implemented include:

• Using paint that is low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are known to harm both humans and the environment.
• Installing low-maintenance siding that doesn’t require significant amounts of water to clean.
• Utilizing other low-maintenance outdoor finishes to reduce the long-term carbon footprint of our homes.

Commitment to Sustainability

It’s possible to be an environmentally conscious company without being sustainable, but we’re proud to say that our practices are both. Whenever possible, we use materials that minimize the toll on the environment and use materials already in circulation. Two of the sustainable practices you’ll find in our homes include:

• Engineered wooden doors made from recycled materials instead of contributing to deforestation.
• Recycled carpet padding reduces the amount of synthetic material that needs to be created for each home.

High-Efficiency Finishes and Appliances

We’ve always believed that high-efficiency finishes and appliances should be a part of every home, and we couldn’t be more proud of the ways we help homeowners save money during the building process. Among many other upgrades in our luxury homes, you’ll find:

• High-efficiency appliances throughout the entire home.
• 13 SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) compressors that significantly reduce energy consumption.
• Slab insulation that reduces the amount of energy lost through the floor.
• Bandboard insulation to prevent heat loss through walls.

Community Involvement

We like to think of ourselves as home builders who give back to the communities we create. Each project we take on contributes to educational programs, and we’ve invested nearly $100,000 back into the community in the last several years. We’ve also completed eight different shelter projects, providing more than 200 Virginia residents with places to live.
