What We Offer
New Leaf Homes builds both spec and custom homes. Whether working with our design or yours, we take many factors into consideration: orientation on lot, positioning of rooms based on usage, view, mechanical function, use of sustainable materials, etc.
Depending on when the sale occurs in the building process of a spec home, the home could still be customized regarding cabinets, wall colours, flooring, fixtures, etc.
New Leaf Homes has Standards of Energy Efficiency that we build into each house we sell. These are minimum energy efficiency standards which we expect the homeowner to agree to incorporate in this home.
Beyond energy efficiency, we design our houses as if we were going to live in them ourselves, balancing aesthetics and practicality. We pride ourselves in designing “intuitively functional” homes. Our houses ‘work’.
