Building Value into Boise Real Estate

Buying Boise real estate and building a new home is easy but creating value is the challenge. How can you make your Boise Real Estate more valuable? Better use of space, quality building products and subcontractors, beautiful interior design and maximizing your dollar with a builder who understands not only the latest building trends but also the current Boise real estate market. Building a Boise dream home is about working with a Boise Builder who can not only make it a reality but also exceed your expectation from quality of your home to customer service. Boise Real Estate, as Scott will tell you is about affordability and lifestyle. That is right, Boise real estate really is about lifestyle! Enjoying your home and designing it to actually  fit your life is Scott Flynn's goal.

Flynner Homes - The Way Homes Used to be Built!
A Flynner Home incorporates traditional craftsman style architecture, historical details and a sense of community into each home. We at Flynner Homes’ utilize sustainable materials and updated floor plans for a traditional feel, fitting right into today’s new urban neighborhoods.

Talk About Boise Real Estate Curb Appeal!
Flynner Homes’ meets the expectations of “True” craftsman style exterior details, which accentuate curb appeal and a timeless era. These exterior details can be seen in three unique ways:

  • 24 inch long eves, which protect the home from Mother Nature and enhance the architecture and form of the home.
  • A large covered porch, which conveys a community atmosphere and invites you to sit and relax.
  • The face of the garage sits back off the front of the home placing the emphasis back on the architecture of the home, not the garage.

 

Specializing in “Arts & Crafts” Interiors!
You will notice immediately after walking into a Flynner Home the quality workmanship and handcrafted beauty of extensive millwork and decor. Stylish colors hit you instantly as spacious rooms glow in rare earth tones. Rich wood floors are plentiful. Beadboard wainscoting, fully wrapped windows and custom built-ins can be found throughout. Other details include granite countertops, slate backsplashes, tile floors, shaker cabinets and Tiffany lighting. Flynner Homes’ carries the Energy Star symbol, which adds a sense of comfort and peace of mind knowing your home is well constructed and well insulated.

Be Pleasantly Surprised!
So, you have driven by a Flynner Home. Wonder what’s inside?

 

  • Exterior elements of a Flynner Home move inside, bringing the outside in, completing the home in a virtual ebb and flow.
  • Arts and crafts entry ways are standard and garnish a Flynner Home with extensive hand- crafted finish work and designed for that particular room.
  • Fixtures and appliances are hand picked according to a the motif of the home and adds to the beauty and fulfillment you will feel when you walk into a Flynner Home.

It just feels right!
The quality and dependability of materials used on the outside of a Flynner Home are also on the inside. By concentrating on value instead of production, our homes are unique, aesthetically pleasing and makes an owner proud to have went with a Flynner Home for their Boise real estate needs.

Hand-Built Value
Knowing what to look for in a new home is difficult, at best, to grasp. Having it handing to you in every aspect, is unexpected. A Flynner Home will surprise you, will make you feel at home, will make you feel at peace and will satisfy you for years to come. Simply concentrating on design is not enough.

A Flynner Home needs to have a theme, a sense that every little detail fits and comes together as one and a feeling that nothing is out of place. A Flynner Home is not on a tight schedule, competing with the dozen per month builders. We don’t rush quality, and that adds value. By taking the time to use finish carpentry instead of store bought, and mill work instead of style numbers from a catalog, you will actually see the heart and soul put into each project every time, in every home.

We are not striving to be a big builder, simply a great builder.

Thank you for reading Building Value into Boise Real Estate,

Flynner Homes Progress on Idaho's First NAHB Certified Green Home!
Main / Building Value into Boise Real Estate  

Follow the construction process as Flynner Homes' builds their first of many certified green homes.

Certified green homes use a holistic approach to the construction process, which incorporates environmental, personal and financial considerations into every phase of the building procedure. 

 
There are 7 Guiding Principals of the National Association of Home Builder’s (NAHB) National Green Building Program that take these environmental, personal, and financial considerations into account. They are:
  1. Lot Design, Preparation, and Development
  2. Resource Efficiency
  3. Energy Efficiency
  4. Water Efficiency
  5. Indoor Environmental Quality
  6. Operation Maintenance and Homeowner Education
  7. Global Impact
We are currently satisfying Principal 7, Energy Efficiency, which consists of:
 
  • Indoor paints that have volatile organic compounds (VOC) concentrations equal to or less than the following:
 
    1. Latex coatings: flat 100 grams/liter, non-flat 150 grams/liter
    2. Oil based paints: 380 grams/liter
 
  • Sealants that have VOC concentrations equal to or less that the following:
 
1.      Construction adhesives: 200 grams/liter
2.      Sealants and caulks: 60 grams/liter
3.      Contact adhesives: 650 grams/liter
 
Stay tuned as we move through the certification process. I will be updating you on the green aspects of the home that will contribute to our green certification, which is obtained by utilizing a third-party NAHB certified verifier.  
 
For those of you who want to watch the construction process the Willowgreens Community is located on Willow Lane. Head West on State Street from Veteran’s Memorial Parkway. Willow Lane is the next stop light. Turn left (South) and go down past the Willow Lane Sports Complex to the end of the road. Or you can ride your bike or walk down the Boise Greenbelt.
 
For more information regarding certified green building and the NAHB National Green Building Program please feel free to call me direct at 208-867-4587 or visit us a www.flynnerhomes.com .
 
Cheers,

Re:Flynner Homes Progress on Idaho's First NAHB Certified Green Home!
I don't mean this rhetorically, but do people/buyers really care? What I mean by that is, is there any substantiation that buyers consider grams/liter of VOC's or other factors which make a house "certified green"? Or are we fooling ourselves into thinking that people are interested in "green homes"?

Re:Flynner Homes Progress on Idaho's First NAHB Certified Green Home!
I think that is a great question and I wondered how valid all this really is with the consumer sometimes myself. All I can tell you is that businesses follow the money. I can also tell you that many in the industry believe that Boise is 1 to 3 years normally behind the major metros, in trends. Lastly, everything I read says this is very real to people who are conscious. The question is when will other builders catch up to Scott? If you get a chance ask Scott for the tour- you will be blown away how smart the home is a how affordable it can be.

On a personal note, I think we have a responsibility to build sustainable homes. Long term vision, energy conservation and environmental responsibility all lead to the conclusion that green is right.

Re:Flynner Homes Progress on Idaho's First NAHB Certified Green Home!
I agree with trey but I also agree with the anonymous post above his. I think that we have a responsibility to increase the efficiency of the new homes we build and this will be a continual process over the next several decades. However, right now, given the state of the economy, consumers just don't have money for "green" and probably don't care. There are bigger issues on their minds like making their mortgage payments and finding or keeping a job. Until we get our basic necessities taken care of and figured out and the economy stabilizes, going "green" will just be a great idea that just does not make sense.

However, over time I think that "green" is the way to go. I was down at the International Builder's Show in Vegas last month and "green" products were definitely the highlight of the show and the direction that the industry is moving. Unfortunately, we are at the point where people can buy homes for cheaper than we can build them and new construction has taken a hit. Over time things will get back to normal and that is the time when going green will take off.

The only reason the consumer is not more concerned about VOC's is because they don't know. If they were more aware of the consequences they would.

VOC's are a complex topic and even EPA's definition of VOC's does not really include or for that matter exclude the VOC's considered to cause indoor air pollution.

Many common materials and products used indoors have been developed and are labeled by their manufacturers as "low VOC" or "zero VOC content" and other similar terms. While some of these products may actually have low VOC content in the broader definition of VOC relevant to indoor air, some products so labeled may actually have larger VOC content but the VOCs contained in them may be exempt from the EPA's definition. For more information on VOCs.

Or more simply put, those who buy into this idea of a "Green Home" are doing just that, buying an idea.
Now energy efficiency on the other hand has merit.
Though I always find it interesting when 2 people who live in a 6,000 sf home can say that their house is "green" or "efficient".
Tell me, what is green or efficient about 2 or even 4 people living in a giant house?
IMHO, this green movement is more of a marketing ploy than anything else.

People nowadays are getting wiser and wiser in terms of choosing what's really best for them and their family. As people are opting for small yet environment friendly, green building innovation would surely suit their demands. Green is definitely more than just an option, it is becoming a lifestyle
