Want to know a secret? Okay, it’s not really a secret but there is something spectacular brewing in Denham Springs, Louisiana. What is it? I thought you’d never ask! It’s Crystal Lakes Development. Are you thinking of moving? Are you thinking of building? Well, have I got the place for you. Prime Locations is proud to announce a new subdivision in Denham Springs, La. This just isn’t any ordinary subdivision and these are definitely not your ordinary houses. I know you are dying to know and I am certainly dying to tell you. Prime Locations Realty had a meeting last week where we were all informed about the great things happening at the Crystal Lakes Development. I say “development” because it is still in the making. We have so many different models to choose from for the building of your house. Excited? You should be. I want to elaborate a little bit on what was discussed at the meeting because I think it’s completely necessary for people to be informed and in “the know”!
First off, I am not a builder. I must admit I did fool around with Lego’s as a child but it never went further than that. While I am not an expert on the building process at Crystal Lakes Development, I do have a tad of information that will put a smile on your face. Are you ready to smile? Just go with it. I am proud as ever to say that the building at Crystal Lakes is done by “Homes by Dave”. Dave who? Dave Underwood. There is no such thing as cutting corners in this subdivision. Each has been and will be built as if Dave’s family were to live in it. Each home is developed with tender loving care. Why do I say that? Let me elaborate. Dave dove into building these homes and laying out the floor plans with safety in mind. Did you know that it is a wind resistant house? Take that Katrina 2.0! No more worries about anyone or anything huffing and puffing and blowing your house down! Also, the house has gas filled windows.
Gas-filled Windows: Gas filled windows reduce the heat conductance of the air space between multiple panes by replacing that air with either argon or krypton gas. Originally, the space between panes was filled with air before it was sealed. In a sealed insulating glass unit, air currents between the two panes of glazing carry heat to the top of the unit and settle into cold pools at the bottom. Filling the space with a less conductive, more viscous or slow-moving gas minimizes the convection currents within the space, conduction through the gas is reduced, and the overall transfer of heat between the inside and outside is reduced. Argon is inexpensive, nontoxic, nonreactive, clear and odorless.
Wow, I say wow because I really am not completely informed about gas filled windows but it has a lot to do with safety and taking a beating from another Katrina. Also, worried about your utility bill? Dave kept that in mind when building homes. The homes were built with the idea of low utility cost. These homes also have a 14 sear air conditioner. What is a 14 sear? To be honest, I have no idea. Like I said, I’m not a builder or a tech. I do know that the best you usually can get is 13 and we went above and beyond that..14! What about the roof? It’s a tekshield roof. What about installation? None of these homes have paper installation. Zip-Zero! All have blown installation except for lot #1. Believe me when I tell you, these homes were built to last for you and your family.
What about the foundation? What about the slabs? Good question. Dave isn’t just going to use any old concrete to make the slabs, he’s using fiber mesh . Whoa, what is fiber mesh? It’s basically fiberglass and concrete mixed together. Voila, what a great combo. Is it necessary? It is if you don’t want your slab to crack. The fiber mesh keeps the slab from cracking, so rest easy. So, you are probably wondering about the foundation and the lot that it is on? Don’t worry it’s normal. I must admit, as Dave says…”We just have really good dirt”. Why is dirt so important? Well, to be honest, this is what you and your family are going to be living on so you want to make sure it’s compacted and compacted well. How can you prove this? Well, don’t just take our word for it but it’s been tested. Yes! The legal percentage for a compaction rate is 95% and I hate to brag but ours is 98%. Now, that’s good dirt.
There are probably a zillion of other questions that you have but I assure you it’s not a question that we can’t answer. Did you know that there is a ten year warranty on all the homes? I’m telling you, you can’t beat that with a stick. Here are just a few examples of the awesome, quality construction that Dave Underwood and his crew are offering:
10 Year Warranty on All New Homes
Dramatic Roof Pitches
2×6 Construction with 6″ Insulation
Advanced Hurricane-Proof Technologies Utilized Throughout Including:
Architectural Shingles, Tie-Down Roofs, Specially Designed Hurricane Nails
Wind Resistant up to 130 mph
Termite-treated Sub-soil
3000 psi Concrete Slab
Ground Fault Protection
Cable, phone, Internet pre-wired
I know, pretty awesome uh? It all looks great on paper but this is something you must see for yourself. Prime Locations has moved their office to the Crystal Lakes subdivision and I actually get to work out of one of the model homes. It’s breath taking. I have to say it’s so easy to feel at home. I might have a tear in my eye when we actually have to leave. So, if this isn’t enough information to make you want to start trucking it to Crystal Lakes Subdivision, just wait. Let’s talk about the community!
Will the community be gated? We are not sure yet. It really depends on what you and your neighbors want. This is just a pinch of how we want to serve you and make you feel more at home. Did I mention that there is going to be an island and a peninsula? Okay, it’s nothing like Gilligan’s Island but good enough. It will be so beautiful and will add so much to Crystal Lakes Subdivision.
