Like many families, the pandemic brought light for our client’s desire to have more space for their kids to grow up. Finding their dream location, the home’s clinker brick exterior was full of charm with a sprawling yard surrounded by trees while the interior had not been updated in decades. They reached out to Anchor when their friends we built a home for recommended our Design-Build team to help them transform the interior to a functional, modern space. Underneath the wallpaper, dental crown, well-loved fireplaces, outdated kitchen and bathrooms, and hodgepodge of incohesive finishes was plenty of square footage and a blank slate for the young family to make their forever home an inviting place to raise their kids and entertain family and friends. While the whole home was remodeled with fresh flooring, paint, and light fixtures the main areas of focus included: Kitchen, Pantry, Dining Room, Living Room, Great Room, Main Level Kid’s Bathroom, Mudroom, and Stairs between the two levels with new custom railings and carpet runner.

After you reach out to Anchor Builders, we’ll discuss what you’re looking for and the goals for your new home. We’ll decide if we are the right team for your vision. If the answer is no, we’ll recommend other options. If the answer is yes, we’ll walk you through a budget presentation and a subsequent follow-up discussion.
We’ll come out to the property and get some measurements. Then, the real fun begins —the design kick-off and space planning. Together, we’ll start developing the home that will be your family’s anchor for years to come. Later, we’ll go through a rough bid presentation and then the actual design development will begin.
Next, we’ll get to work with a build kick-off as we begin the construction. You’ll be kept up-to-date on the progress with onsite walk-throughs as your Anchor home gets closer and closer to being finished. After completion, it’s champagne time! We’ll welcome you into your new home with a finished home reveal.

"Thank you for your honesty, diligence, transparency, and expertise. We appreciate you. We love the home you have built for us and will treasure our years here."

"Although the home we moved in to was no longer working for our family, we never wanted to tear it down and start over. Anchor Builders – and in particular, its design team – helped us achieve that, and we simply added another chapter to our original home’s story."

"It was easy to work with Anchor for many reasons. Having an in-house designer who guided us along the way with our planning was extremely helpful. Though I thought I'd have little need for a designer (I'd like to call myself design savoy), our designer proved to be very valuable."
Anna L.

"We love our home and really enjoyed the design and build process. All of our neighbors who were living next to the build also have made comments about how respectful Anchor was throughout that process."
