Life is full of unpredictable events, unforeseen changes, and exceptional surprises. When things get chaotic, our home is the place where we seek refuge. A home is central to so much of your daily life. It’s there when you wake up, it dictates how your family interacts, decides the atmosphere during family dinners, gives you peace and quiet after work, and maybe even treats you to a warm welcome every time you walk in the door. Choosing a floor plan that accommodates your lifestyle is a way to reach into the future and have some degree of control of how you want to live your day-to-day life. And if there is anything that the year 2020 has taught us is that we don’t have a lot of control over a whole lot of things. With a Cullers Home, you have control over the design and space of your home. As millions of Americans found themselves confined to their home during the pandemic, they discovered that the comfort and performance of their home took on a whole different meaning. 

What Our Homes Say About The Way We Live 

A deep dive into contemporary custom home building will reveal a lot about a culture and what an entire generation of homeowners is looking for in their humble dwellings. There is a theme that runs across what homeowners are looking for in the 21st century and much of that has to do with a focus on functionality and performance. Today’s family has high expectations of their home: it should be comfortable and functional, it should aspire and inspire, it should have open but also intimate spaces. They are in search of a home that is built with high-quality materials, compliments the environment, and is both stylish and energy-efficient. Here at Cullers Homes, we know that your priorities as a homeowner are finding the balance between beauty, luxury, and functionality and performance. So what are some of the things we implement in our custom and newly built homes? 

If you look at one of our news floorplans, the Toluca floor plan, you will notice that this plan showcases a couple of unique design characteristics. We have talked in previous blogs about some of the 21st century’s more in-demand home features, so let’s talk about those that stand out among the Cullers design. 

A Foyer

It might not be the feature you hear discussed everyday, but boy can it make a difference to the entire atmosphere of your home! A foyer or elegant entryway that immerses your visitors into the rest of your home. The word ‘foyer’ comes from the French word meaning ‘hearth’ or ‘lobby.’ This is an area designated to welcome guests and is usually thought of as the entryway into your home. In some of our floor plans, we put great care into the design and spatial dimensions of this entryway, as we understand that it plays an important role in how people feel when they first enter your home. 

Open & Shared Spaces 

If you take a 3-D tour of our Toluca floorplans or other plans, you’ll find that one of the things we excel at is designing a home that has wide-open spaces. Having the kitchen bleed into the dining room and into the living room is one way to encourage a communal and shared space. One design element is choosing an elegant floor that is shared throughout as a way to tie the space together. A kitchen island is a great space-saving feature that also serves as a connection between the two spaces. Today’s modern family has a few blurred lines when it comes to work, play, recreation, and entertainment. Having wider entryways and one style of floor tying rooms together is one way to create an inviting space that can be shared with multiple activities. 

A Master Bathroom of High Comfort

Take a look at one of our master bathroom designs. Not only do we offer a sleek design with symmetrical lines and spacing but it offers the opportunity to leave the chaos of the workday and submerge yourself in the comfort of your own personal space. With a marble white finish, a long and spacious vanity, a bathtub, and private shower, you can wash off the demands of the day and sink into a relaxing time. The modern home utilizes open and shared spaces in the living and dining areas and understands the value of privacy and enclosed areas in others. 

The desert landscape of El Paso is the perfect backdrop for our amazing homes. Here at Cullers Homes, we build  homes that inspire and provide comfort and security. Whether you are looking for a large floor plan or something smaller, we have an amazing home for you. Call us today and find out more about our custom homes. 

Welcome to 2019! As we say hello to a brand new year, it’s a great a time as ever to consider buying a new home! The El Paso area is well-known for its desert landscapes and beautiful sunsets. When you choose Cullers Homes as your home builder, you’ll be able to live in a beautifully designed home that is energy efficient and specifically built to suit all of your needs. Continue reading to learn more about why we’re the best choice in the Southwest.

Built to Remain in Harmony With The Desert Surroundings

At Cullers Homes, we believe in the importance of maintaining the beauty of the desert and the area’s history within every home we design and build. When you drive through one of our many communities or take a look at our homes, you’ll notice that they all look like much more than a simple home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. We strive to create dwellings that encapsulate the history of the area so residents will be able to feel right at home, in every sense of the phrase. This is true, whether you decide on moving into one of our more rustic homes or one of our more modern options.

Beautiful Exteriors To Match El Paso’s Incomparable Landscapes

Our homes’ exteriors are meticulously designed to accentuate the surrounding nature in a bright and creative fashion. We use shades of tan to replicate the hues of the desert, all while designing features that fit perfectly within the environment. If you’re looking for something a bit more modern, then don’t fret! Our Desert Modern floor plans perfectly combine modernity with classic architecture.

Don’t Forget the Interior!

Now, let’s shift our focus to the interior. All of our homes are designed to make use of the space available as efficiently as possible. We also include beautiful designs throughout our homes (both on the interior and exterior) in order to make the home as original and beautiful as possible. Most of our homes have exposed cedar beams, custom tile, granite countertops, and Delta brand fixtures in order to provide all-encompassing beauty and quality.

Style, class, and quality are what makes Cullers Homes stand out from the rest. Take a look at our new homes, today!

There are changing trends in every industry and in the 21st-century custom home builders are coming under heavy demand. There might be many reasons for this: a sudden awakening towards more energy efficient homes, a fusion of styles and architectural trends and preferences, a gravitation towards smaller homes, altering lifestyles, changes in demographics, and/or advances in the construction industry. Cullers Homes is at the forefront of the custom home builders revolution, always engaging and pushing towards better, more functional, and greater looking homes.

The Fusion of Expertise

The great thing about buying a new and customized home is in the name: customization. The home buyer has control, creative input, and has an opportunity to realize their dream in a way that would not be possible when buying an already built home. You want walk-in closets? Bigger bathrooms? A particular kind of flooring? A certain architectural style? Now it’s possible.

And yet a custom home builder gives you more than that. Working with a qualified builder means that you get a variety of highly skilled experts in their field working together in one project. People will have access to the carpenter putting together their kitchen cabinets, or the architect as he finalizes the floor plan, and the construction workers to ensure the appropriate and right building materials. It allows people to be involved and to feel a more intimate part of this major economic and emotional investment.

An Age of Innovation

Every industry goes through massive change as technology develops and lifestyles adapt. The same has occurred with the housing industry. The twenty-first century family and its altering customs have led to some of the bigger changes in new homes. Some of these include:

• Energy efficiency. The modern home buyer tends to be more environmentally conscientious and concerned with the energy efficiency of their new house. For the homebuilder, this means implementing effective insulation, energy efficient windows, high-efficiency HVAC systems.
• Home automation: Many new homes come equipped with home automation capabilities. For builders, this might mean installing more electrical connections and improved electrical systems to withstand the demands of the modern high-tech family.  

Lifestyle Indicators

It’s not just technology that drives our housing trends, but people’s personal preferences and lifestyle choices. Here are some currently on people’s radar:

• Size: Many homebuyers are concerned with performance and productivity and less focused on size. Single floor homes are trending in.
• Wide open spaces: The modern family likes to have wide open spaces throughout the house, so that kitchens often lead into the living or dining room.

The Internet Age and Custom Homes

The internet has a great capacity to help the spread of ideas. Because of this, new ideas, trends, and popular styles are shared at a much more rapid rate than before. This has a great impact in the custom home industry, as builders find that people are more and more educated on the varying architectural and design fashions of the time. This provides for a cross-pollination of ideas and new styles.

Cullers Homes is El Paso’s trusted custom home builders. We are the forefront of this blossoming and innovative industry. We offer our clients access to a group of experts in their field. When you let us build your home, we ensure the highest standards every step of the way. That’s why we have experts putting their efforts together for the utmost quality homes in the area.

Finding the right home for our family can seem impossible at times. This one has enough rooms but the closets are too small. Or the size is perfect but the yard is terrible. Any number of things can change a potential house into a no. Week after week, the search continues for the perfect house. Well the search is over when you look into buying a new home. Cullers Homes are experienced home builders in the El Paso area. Making the choice to buy new is as easy as these three benefits.

Long Term Living

When you buy a new home, you are going to get many years out of it. Having all new piping, walls, appliances and fixtures guarantees worry free living. After all, having everything new means that you are getting something at the start instead of used. Think of it as the same with buying a used car versus a new one. One may look fine, but you know it has a history and is likely to need repairs. The other is barely starting and unlikely to have problems. Quality home builders make their homes to last for you.

Custom Floorplans

Finding the perfect house is not difficult when you have a say in what goes into your home. If you want a balcony and spacious closets, you can get that from buying new. Or if you want a bathroom that is bit more luxurious, you can get that too. Many home builders have a variety of floorplan options to choose from. This makes your home truly yours; built to fit your every need.

No Surprises

When you buy new, you do not have to worry about any surprises in your home. A house can look great from the outside, but a few months in you might find some serious problems. A burst underground pipe can happen simply because it is too old. This is something you would not have been able to see on the surface of the house until it was too late. When you go with trusted home builders, you can rest easy knowing that your house is built to last.

You’ve had it. You’re tired of the small bedrooms, the one bathroom, and the tiny backyard. You’re tired of your neighbors and the strange smell that wafts through your vents. It’s time to move. So you begin looking at ads and anything with a for sale sign in the front yard, but soon realize how hard buying a new home can be. From finding the right one for you and your family to navigating the fees and working with a real estate agent, you’ve got your hands full. Luckily, homes from Cullers Homes are top of the line, efficient, and are just what you’re looking for. It’s still important, though, to find the home that’s best for you. Here are some tips.

Tip #1: Size: Know What You Need

Sometimes, it’s hard to pinpoint every single thing you’ll need out of your house. But there are a few big things you can think about that can help you narrow down your search in terms of size. First, how big is your family? More importantly, how big will it be in five, even ten years? If you plan on having a big family, you want to plan on having a lot of space. If your family is small, however, and you don’t foresee it growing too much in the next couple of years, maybe a smaller one will be more ideal. You’ll also want to account for things like the size of the garage and how much parking space is available and whether or not you’ll need rooms for an office or playroom in the future.

Tip #2: Location, Location, Location

A popular saying in real estate, location is important. This is true, too, when you’re on the opposite end and are buying a new home. There are, of course, many things to consider when determining where you desire the home to be located.If you’re looking for one that’s a little farther away from the heart of the city or you’d prefer one that’s by all of the biggest stores and restaurants, it’s important to establish that early on. Also consider nearby schools, school districts, and multipurpose centers and libraries for the kiddos. If you plan on homeschooling your children, nearby schools may not be such a big factor. It all depends on what you need out of a neighborhood or community. Because of this, you’ll want to go with a company that sells homes in multiple regions in El Paso.

Tip #3: Go With Cullers Homes When Buying a New Home

Like we said, you want to buy a home from someone who gives you options, and that someone is us. We have homes all over the El Paso area, including on the east and west sides and in Horizon City. Our homes are beautiful, state of the art, and energy efficient. With us, you can find the perfect home for you and your family–whether your children are full grown or still in the works. These tips can help you take the first steps to buying a new home the right way. Call us today for more information!

There’s no denying that we owe it to Mother Nature to go green. From using fewer plastic bags to recycling water bottles, there are many ways we can do so. One way is for us to live in energy-efficient homes. If you’re looking to hire someone to build a custom home for you, you can ask for them to only use energy efficient materials and options. This will help you save energy (and money) while also giving back to the environment. Energy efficient homes are just one of the many possible options you have available to make your lifestyle more “green.” Here are some other surefire ways you can give back to mother nature.

Ditch the Plastic Bag

This trend has been blossoming for a long time now, but it’s rather effective. Plastic bags cause more waste each year than many other plastic materials combined and many people tend to be wasteful with them. One way to avoid this issue is to bring your bag to the grocery store. Many stores sell inexpensive cloth bags that can be used for groceries, clothing items, and other items so you don’t have to worry about needing a bag to carry your stuff once you’re ready to leave the store. You can even get creative with this by creating your own bag. There are tons of ideas on Pinterest and Etsy that can help you create a cute tote for whenever you need to buy something new.

Stop Receiving Junk Mail

If you’re still receiving ads for things you don’t want, credit card applications for cards you aren’t going to apply for, and so on, nine times out of ten, that information ends up in the garbage can (or hopefully the recycling bin). You can stop receiving this nonsense easily by contacting the Direct Marketing Association, credit bureaus, and catalog provider sites to opt out. There are also many sites that let you do so for free without contacting these people directly. All in all, it should take only about ten minutes to do so, but once you do, you’ll reduce the average 1,000 pounds of junk mail you receive a year to zero.

Save Your Leftover Food Containers

Once you’re done eating that leftover sushi, menudo, or what have you, save your container! Most foam containers can’t be recycled, so it’s best to reuse them. Soup containers, like the one your leftover menudo goes home in, can be used to keep screws, tools, and other items in a sealed container. Larger containers can be used for arts and crafts and so on. There are many ways you can get creative with your leftover food containers.

How Do We Make Energy Efficient Homes?

El Paso’s residents can all go green by choosing to live in energy-efficient homes. At Cullers Homes, we make energy efficient homes in a number of ways. First, we install Pella windows, which are both stylish and save energy by reducing the amount of heat that enters and leaves your house. We use spray foam insulation to insulate the homes, so you save energy by saving warm air when you run your heater and cool air when you use your AC from escaping your home. Lastly, we install Rinnai Tankless water heaters and steel lumber joints and base plates to keep your home energy efficient all year long.

Build a Future with Energy Efficient Homes

With these tips, it’s easy to make your future a green one. And if you’re looking to build a custom home, why not go green by building with Cullers Homes? We’ll build you the custom home of your dreams while also giving back to the environment. So why wait? The next step in your story starts here. Contact us today.

There are major advantages to buying new homes and that is why many people have decided to invest in them lately. While buying a home can be a huge investment, it seems to make sense for a lot of people who feel they are wasting money just renting. A new home has a lot to offer and seems to be a reasonable choice for many. If you are in the El Paso area and want to buy a new home, our team at Cullers Homes can help you out today. We offer a plethora of prebuilt homes as well as the ability to build a custom house of your choice.

Make Your Dreams A Reality

When you decide to go with a custom home builder for your pre builtW home or home you plan to build, you will be able to make your dreams reality. If the benefits are not obvious, older homes come with needed repairs, maintenance, and remodeling. New homes provide a less stressful home buying experience where you know everything is new and doesn’t need repairs. With a new home you will be getting a house with new features and amenities. That means all your appliances will be brand new and probably energy star rated as well. Many people want to invest in sustainable living. With a new home, you will most likely see many energy-efficient options. This is great for people who care about the environment and want to save money on their energy bills as well.

Personalization And Customization

New homes will allow you the option to personalize and customize your space as well. Depending on your wants and needs, you may be able to request certain features that you will not be able to with older homes on the market. Older homes will require you to personally go out and invest more on top of the cost of the home. A new home will allow you the opportunity to hopefully pick your countertops, cabinets, appliances, and much more. This can be exciting for those who are creative and want to design their home to truly fit their wants and needs.

Less Maintenance Costs

As stated before, a new home will also mean that you will have to put up and pay less for maintenance costs. Because homes are brand new, you shouldn’t see too many repairs within the first few years of living in your home. On top of that, your home will have warranties as well, which can help with the overall cost of repairs if needed. There are definitely not as many hidden costs with new homes on the market.

Buying a new home is always an exciting, thrilling, and euphoric experience for many first time home buyers. But this purchase can also be nerve-wracking for others particularly if you have no idea about what real estate industry is all about. Well, with the right tips it is easy to make the right decisions. It’s important to be aware of local home builders so you can know what to expect. Cullers Homes, for example, offers beautiful living spaces that are sure to suit your needs! 

Evaluate Your Finances

The first thing you should think of when considering buying your first home is your finances. It is important to ensure that you get your finances right. You should have an idea on how you plan to raise your financing. Raising your dream home’s down payment can either be done through savings, mortgage or bank loans. It is prudent to evaluate your finances options carefully before making up your mind. Your finances will determine the design, size or type of house you purchase. While it is imperative to ensure that you buy a home that’s within your budget limit.

Consult Experts

Buying a home involves large sums of money. Making one wrong move can end in a disaster for you as a potential new buyer. The best way to dodge a bullet is to seek advice from real estate experts at Cullers Homes. An ideal professional should be knowledgeable and experienced in real estate industry matters. You may need to talk to a real estate attorney or realtors to avoid making wrong decisions. Getting professional assistance can prove invaluable since they will guide you through the entire home buying process.

Location Is Everything When Buying a New Home

This is one of the important factors to think of when hunting for your first home. It is worth knowing that location determines the prices of homes. Consider looking for a home that is located in an area that’s secure and easily accessible. A good location should also have a good transportation system, good schools, and shopping centers among other infrastructures. The neighborhood you move in is entirely dependent on your financial muscles and special needs.

Home Inspection Is Important

Investing in home inspection can save you from a lot of trouble. It is important to remember that you cannot afford to trust everything you see in real estate. Looks can be deceiving; it is, therefore, wise to work closely with a well-trained and licensed professional home inspector to avoid unnecessary complications afterward. A good home inspector will do everything to ensure that you get a good deal. He/she could save you from spending thousands of dollars on home repairs.

Invest In the Right Home

It is very important to ensure that the property you are buying matches all your needs. This is normally determined by the size of your family, location, and budget. You will be wise to invest in a home that’s near financial institutions, schools, markets and hospitals among many other important things. It wouldn’t make sense buying a five bedroomed house when you are single. The home you purchase must fit your lifestyle without complicating your life.

The Pros of Living in El Paso

The Weather

El Paso is often referred to as the Mexican food capital of the United States. That’s almost enough reason to pack up and move here tomorrow. We will have the chips and salsa ready.

The Cost of Housing

Compared to many other booming U.S. cities, new homes in El Paso are reasonably inexpensive. Owning a home is currently 31% cheaper than the national average! For young families who do not want a high mortgage, residing in El Paso is a great option. As an added bonus – there is no income tax in Texas!

The Beauty

There is something to be said for gorgeous, wide open skies contrasted by jagged desert mountains. The sunrises, the sunsets, as well as the starry nights are extra special in El Paso, and the desert landscape adds an element of drama.

Quality of Life
