    Top Tips for Building the Ultimate Southwest Florida Home

    By Gulfstream Homes | Custom Homes | Comments are Closed | 13 August, 2020 | 0

    If you’ve made the decision to build a new home in Southwest Florida, congratulations! You’ll now get to enjoy endless sunshine, exquisite sunsets and balmy weather from the comfort of your home year-round. Southwest Florida boasts some of the most impressive tropical backdrops in the country, making it a hot spot for many new residents and new homeowners every year. Whether you’ve just moved to the Sunshine State or you’ve been enjoying the Southwest Florida area for a while, choosing to build here can be unlike anywhere else in the country. Our home building pros want you to get the most out of your new home.

    Here are our top tips for building the ultimate Southwest Florida home…

    Accentuate Your Views

    No matter if you’re right on the water or a few miles away, chances are you’ve got some pristine views of our Southwest Florida paradise that you will want to take advantage of in your home. Building a home to maximize those views is highly recommended. After all, you didn’t decide to buy a lot here and not enjoy the views! Southwest Florida home builders suggest implementing certain features into a home to make the most out of the view, whether it’s a waterfront view or a tropical oasis! Features like open floorplans and plenty of windows allow you to enjoy your views from every vantage point in the home with absolute ease.

    Don’t Skimp on Safety

    Here in Southwest Florida, we’re more prone to hurricanes and tropical storms, which means your home will need to be able to stand up against strong winds and rain. Home builders in Southwest Florida build with the weather in mind, incorporating the following into their homes:

    • Concrete block construction

    • Enhanced roofing elements

    • Hurricane shutters or impact-resistant windows and doors

    When you build a home in Southwest Florida, you must be prepared for any inclement weather that may come our way. That’s why it’s imperative that you speak with your builder about your options during the home building process.

    Pay Attention to Your Outdoor Living Space

    If you’ve lived in or visited Southwest Florida for longer than a few hours, you may have realized just how important the outdoor living area is to homeowners. Not only is this a space where you’re able to relax and take it all in, it’s also perfect for entertaining guests, and now that you’re building a home in paradise, you may want to prepare for more guests! You’ll want to pay careful attention to your outdoor space and design it, so that it functions best for you. Home builders recommended adding elements, such as seating areas, pools/spas and outdoor kitchens to get the most out of this space.

    Connect with the Right Builder

    The end product of your home project is a result of many, many hours spent with your builder, which means finding the right builder is essential to the success of your project. Connect with a builder who knows the area and has experience in building homes that are not only made for our weather, but also fit in with the style of the area.

    If you’re looking to build here in Southwest Florida, be sure to keep these tips in mind, so that you can build a home that is not only strong and safe, but takes advantage of the beauty that encompasses this special part of Florida.

    The Gulfstream Homes team is ready to help you build the ultimate Southwest Florida home! Call (239) 254-1664 to get started today.
