Orem Addition

Centurion Homes, your Utah General Contractor, made an Orem families vision a reality with this 1,000 square-foot two story addition.  With four active teenagers our clients wanted to create an environment that the kids and their friends would want to spend time in.  On the main level a 500 square-foot billiard room was added off the back of the house.  It was designed to flawlessly transition from the family room with wall to wall hand scraped hardwood floors and beautiful glass French doors.  The room was completed with surround sound, wall mounted flat screen TV, a pool table and walk out access to the new patio in the backyard - making this the perfect teen hangout.  It easily transitions into a beautiful adult space accommodating very large dinner parties and holiday celebrations.

In the basement, Centurion Homes created a dream 500 square-foot stadium style home theater.  The entire basement was carpeted to flow seamlessly into the new theater.  Custom cherry wood cabinets conceal TV components, movies, blankets, pillows and more.  Large overstuffed couches seat 17 people comfortably and wall sconces that dim add to the theater atmosphere.

Along the way our clients decided to have Centurion Homes do other needed repairs and upgrades.  We updated electrical systems throughout, added decorative crown molding, re-shingled the entire home, poured a 800 square-foot outdoor patio and finished off the yard with a new sprinkler system.  We were happy to accommodate our client's every request.  The final result is stunning and our clients couldn't be happier.

Centurion Homes completed a 1,000 square-foot two story addition in Orem. More about the project will follow in a later post. However, we wanted to share this unique and beautiful option for an entryway that transitions from wood to tile. Our clients wanted something special in the entryway that tied seamlessly into their new hardwood living room floor and set the tone for the new tile in the kitchen. As you can see the result is perfect. This technique can be used in a number of ways. If you are looking for that WOW factor in your home project, call Centurion Homes today.

An interesting article regarding green construction from the California Energy Commission notes the following:

Can I build with salvaged materials?

Products such as doors, cabinets, glass, and metal can be salvaged and reused. You can cut your costs significantly by using salvaged materials, and their quality is high.

Are my construction materials available from local sources?

Where possible, try to use local materials. That way you avoid excess transportation and environmental costs.

Am I using materials from renewable sources?

Renewable materials include wood, wool, plant fibers, and other resources that can be replaced within a few decades or less. Sustainable wood products are becoming more readily available.

Have I considered the long-term costs of my materials? Will my maintenance costs be high?

Even though a building product may initially cost more, it may be the least expensive alternative in the long run. Some materials, for example, need to be replaced regularly over time, while others are long lasting and maintenance-free. Paint that is twice as expensive but lasts four times as long may be a better buy in the long run. Make sure that you consider the life-cycle costs of your materials.
