Do You Need A Change?

There are so many emerging trends in the building industry today. A lot of those trends come from past architectural designs that are taken and modernized to give it a new face. One of the most popular trends we have seen emerge in Chattanooga is the Craftsman 'style' home. Architects and builders alike have incorporated exterior and interior details in the classic 1920's style photos you see below and turned them into modern, up-to-date beauties.

 

Exterior Transformation Throughout The Years

So many of the same elements exist when you look at the classic 1920's era style houses and compare them to today's style. Add a garage and you instantly have an update.









 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Interior Design

Those craftsman homes were well known for trim work, built in cabinetry, and gorgeous hardwoods. All of these elements can be incorporated into your home (old or new) to instantly give it a warm, inviting craftsman feel.

Want This Craftsman Style?

Trim and paint alone can completely change the look of a room and are also two of the most cost effective ways to get the most bang for your buck - especially if you want to incorporate a craftsman style! However, choosing the right paint color and knowing the correct way to install and paint trim are imperative. When in doubt, always hire a professional. Not only will your product come out far superior but it's not nearly as expensive as you might think!












Like What You See?

If you love this style then be sure to check back. One lucky winner will have the chance to jump start their makeover with a $50 gift card to Home Depot. Contest details will be revealed next week, you won't want to miss it!

New Image Construction... From A to Z

A Little About Me

At a very young age I learned to love working with my hands (as you can see from the picture below!). From playing in my grandfather's workshop to building treehouse forts with my cousins and ramps for my bmx bike, I was always 'working' on something. I guess you could say I was all boy - I'm sure my parents would agree!
















In my teenage years I began working construction, remodeling houses here in Chattanooga. I learned so much during those years and I am forever grateful for the time my boss took to teach and show me the ropes of the construction industry. When I was 20, I fell through a roof, nearly losing my life. I tell you this because it is such an instrumental part of who I am and my story. That fall, which nearly cost me my arm and my life, led me back to The Lord and challenged me to fully rely on Him. I was told I would never swing a hammer again...but God had other plans! Since that pivotal - life changing moment, I made a decision that I would always put God first in my life and my business. As a reflection of that, I try to always do right by and take care of my customers. Because customers are such a vital part of my business, I think they deserve complete honesty throughout the entire building process - one of the reasons my motto is "We take pride in your satisfaction". You can read more about my business and how it started  here.

Why New Image Construction Is Unique?

For most of the following blog posts I'm gonna let you in on some of the thought process behind our design team - they don't say it's all in the details for nothing! Today, I'm going to show you some design details on J's house (names will never be used in order to respect and protect the privacy of my customers).

J's house is what I like to call 'Rustic Craftsman'. In an effort to keep with the theme, wow the customer, and still stay within budget, our design team collaborated with J to develop several unique characteristics such as...

The Master Bathroom Sink


















The Stone Meets Brick Fireplace

















And the Custom Designed Garage Door



















You will see many more posts much like this but with more detail in the future. My goal is to not only share our work with you but to inform you of new trends and design ideas you may want to implement yourself.
