What to look for in a new home in the kitchen and bathrooms

We've all heard that kitchens and bath rooms sell homes .That is why at First Choice Home builders we use only the best materials. Starting with the cabinets in the kitchen and bath rooms we use only custom made wood cabinets, with built in up grades like Lazy' Susan in corner cabinets, spice pull out racks, custom crown molding and custom granite counter tops. No prebuilt cabinets out of box that are made out of cardboard or particle board with faux wood vinyl overlay made to look like wood grain. We also use Delta Victorian faucets through out our homes made of metal with brilliant finishes like oil rubbed bronze and brushed nickel. Before buying a home make sure the faucets are not plastic with a faux metal finish that will not last and fail prematurely. All First Choice Homes choice homes use Pex water lines . With slab foundation the most common problem is water lines breaking in slabs due to settling or cracks in the slab that cause the pipe in the concrete to fail. This results in plumbers having to come into your home pull up you flooring and jack hammer up the concrete to try to locate the leaks and repair it at great expense to home owners .That is why a First choice we have no water lines in the slab we pay more to keep all water lines in the walls where theses issue do not come into play later in the life of your new homes. Before buying a new home check out the difference in materials used and think about how the product will look in a year or more. Look at not only the appearance but how they are made and what are they made out of to insure that they are not going to have to be replaced in a few years due to swelling from water contact.
