Building a custom home, especially in Austin, TX, can feel like an overwhelming task when first starting out. Not only do you have to factor in the time and money spent to create the home of your dreams, but you also have to consider the team you’re entrusting to get the job done. Luckily, this is where Freccia Group can help. 

Freccia Group is a premier custom homebuilder located in Texas’ capital city. Our in-house team of designers, architects and builders make it easy for our Austin homeowners to understand the scope of their custom home project and can execute every step seamlessly, from design to finish. This allows us to take the front seat in the building process, leaving our clients to enjoy all the benefits of building a custom home. 

Premier Custom Homebuilding in Austin, TX

Believe it or not, all the work that goes into building your custom home will pay off in the end as long as you fine-tune those details and finishing touches. Since custom homes are created by your homebuilder entirely from the ground up, you’re able to play as much of a collaborative role as you would like in the design of your new home.

Custom homebuilding in Austin looks a little different for everyone depending on the size of the project, the design details that are included and your budget. From the layout to the small finishing touches, homeowners can curate their space to fit their design dreams.

Top 3 Benefits Of Custom Homes

While this may seem like a lot of work, there are some benefits that come with working with a home builder to develop your custom home and you won’t want to miss out on them. These are just a few of the things we hear our clients rave about once they’re able to enjoy the comfort and luxury of their newly built custom home.

1. Personalization

As the name implies, custom homes allow full customization and personalization of the layout, materials, finishes and features, ensuring that the home reflects your unique style and preferences. Since custom homes are not constructed off-site, tweaks can also be made to the original plan, which allows for even more customization options! 

Homeowners often prioritize comfort and include elements that will help make their house feel more like home. This is why homeowners see the personalization aspect as one of the biggest benefits of having a custom home.

2. Skip The Renovations

Since a custom home is already made to your specifications, you likely won’t have to worry about home renovations any time soon. A trap that many homeowners fall into is thinking that remodeling or renovating a home is better than building a custom home. However, you should consider the long-term savings.

Many homeowners decide to update their homes every several years or so. This will eventually add up when it could be almost entirely avoided when building a custom home. You could even end up saving money since you probably won’t purchase something for your custom home now that doesn’t suit your preferences in the first place.

3. Energy Efficiency and Best Appliances

Energy efficiency and high-performing appliances are a huge benefit when it comes to custom building in Austin. They are often choices you’ll only have to make for the kitchen and laundry areas. These rooms will be used frequently and the appliances will need to be durable. However, energy efficiency for your home can also come in when deciding on other building materials and features like your windows and light fixtures.

With a new custom home, you’ll not only be able to have your pick of appliances but can choose exactly where you want them included in your layout.

Bonus: A Home That Grows With You

As a bonus, when you have a say in the design and layout of your custom home, you can factor in your future life plans to make sure there is space for whatever life brings. Whether your family will be growing in size or you will be moving your business into your home, a custom home has the ability to grow with you. 

An extra room now could become the perfect office space, nursery, or guest room for your future needs. When you opt for a prebuilt home it can be hard to make large edits to the layout in the future which is why building a custom home could be perfect for whatever lies ahead for you in the long run.

Home renovations are a large investment to make but can pay off big time if you’re planning to put your home on the Texas housing market. However, if you plan to stay in your home for the foreseeable future, there are still added benefits of a newly renovated home that you can experience while living there.   

If there’s anything we’ve learned in our years of experience as luxury home builders and custom project management providers in Austin, TX, it’s that the little details can make a big impact. Renovations and redesigns can not only change how you feel about your space but can add value in ways you may not have imagined. 

The Benefits of Custom Home Renovations

Regardless of why you want to redesign your home or renovate a space, there are many benefits that come with it that you, your family, your guests and even your neighborhood will feel the effects of. Here are just a few:

It Can Increase The Value Of Your Home

Renovations can add value to your home that you can enjoy now while also prepping for any future plans to sell. Individual preferences about finishing touches will always vary from person to person but potential home buyers want to see updated spaces like kitchens and bathrooms when looking for a new home.

Unless they’re looking for a fixer-upper, home buyers aren’t usually compelled to buy a home they know will need extensive updates. If your home looks outdated, it will narrow your choices for buyers. These renovation updates will make your home more attractive to potential buyers and keep your neighbors happy with the increased desirability of your neighborhood. 

It Can Reduce Your Expenses

When it comes to custom home projects, higher-quality materials can save you money in the long run. Houses are expensive to upgrade and renovate — using low-quality materials that won’t last isn’t the best use of your time and money.

At Freccia Group, our team of in-house designers, engineers, architects and builders do it right the first time, using only the highest quality materials. By taking the time in advance to design and choose better materials and appliances, you won’t need to worry about when something will break or go wrong. This keeps more money in your pocket and gives you peace of mind about the safety and durability of your home.

It’s More Enjoyable To Relax At Home

Many homeowners put off home renovations or repairs because it’s not an urgent priority, especially if they have no plans to sell. However, it’s best not to wait until it does become an urgent need and you don’t have to sell your home to deserve a bit of an upgrade.

By working with experienced construction project managers, you’ll be able to take the time to properly scope out the work that needs to be done, prioritize your greatest needs and execute a design that will bring more life into your home. You’ll save time, stress and money with high-quality results that will last a lifetime in the home of your dreams.

Planning out the details that will put the finishing touches on your home’s interior design style is where you’re really able to bring more of who you are into your redesign, renovation or remodeling project. Whether you’re making updates to sell or will enjoy them yourself, there are a few fundamental design elements you’ll want to pay careful attention to when you’re putting on those finishing touches. 

From bright blue cabinets to bold black and white patterned tiles, at Freccia Group we’ve seen it all when building and designing our custom homes in Austin, TX. These are just 7 of the finishing touches we’ve seen added to homes that take them from mundane to exquisite. 

What Are Finishing Touches? (And Why Are They Important?)

Finishing touches are design elements that add character and personality to your home. They are the small details that play a large role in how your home is perceived and can sometimes even completely change the energy of your space.

The finishing touches that matter most to you may be different from someone else’s because we all have our own unique styles and preferences. However, as one of Austin’s premiere residential homebuilders, our team at Freccia Group finds that there are often 7 finishing touches that matter most to homeowners.

These elements can sometimes be the inspiration behind renovations and total-home redesigns or come up later in the process. Either way, they’re defining factors in making your custom home project feel complete.  

7 Finishing Touches That Will Elevate Your Home

If there’s anything we’ve learned in our years of experience as luxury home builders and custom project management providers in Austin, it’s that little details make a big impact. Renovations and redesigns can not only change how you feel about your space but can also make a good impression on your guests. 

Once you’ve decided to start your renovation or redesign, it’s time to get into those finishing touches that will bring it all together! These design elements set the foundation for other accent pieces such as furniture, rugs, and appliances. 

Let’s look at the 7 finishing touches that matter the most in your home.

1. Kitchen Cabinets

Often located in the middle of the home and near the living room, the kitchen is one of your home’s focal centers so it’s not surprising that it is one of the most common spaces to undergo a redesign. Kitchen renovations often include updated appliances, countertops and almost always new cabinetry.

Cabinets are highly customizable and can change the entire feel of your kitchen. Options range anywhere from something dark and bold like black or more natural tones like muted grays or the very popular sage green cabinetry.

Freccia Group Insider Tips For Choosing Custom Cabinetry

• Match kitchen hardware. If you’re going for a minimalistic kitchen look, don’t add ornate, complicated hardware to your kitchen.
• Align style with the rest of your kitchen. For example, if you’re aiming for a farmhouse-style kitchen, you probably don’t want dark cabinets and accent pieces.
• Ensure cabinets remain functional. You can have both functionality and style. For example, don’t use an open organization style if the items on the shelf make your home look more cluttered.

2. Windows

With so much sun available year-round, natural light is a must for custom homes in Texas. There’s a reason why we use lots of windows when building our custom homes — they naturally open up the space while adding a luxurious yet comfortable feel to the home.

Window features like window walls, bay windows and skylights continue to increase in popularity, especially during the summer months.

Since Austin has very hot summers and hail storms in the winter, it’s important to have windows that are durable and energy efficient. One of our favorite building materials to use on our custom projects are Andersen Windows – like the ones seen on our 13th Street Custom New Build. They trap in the cool air, keep the heat out and of course, it helps that they look amazing!

3. Light Fixtures

Don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through! Light plays an important role in how your home looks and feels to visitors so where natural lighting won’t work, light fixtures can pull through.

A statement light fixture can feel ornamental during the day and can give your home a cozy feel when the sun goes down. It’s also the perfect opportunity to add accent pieces like lamps, chandeliers, and outdoor lighting that suit your preferences and pull together the design aesthetic you’re looking for.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of light fixture options available. Check out our Freccia Group projects to see how we incorporated light fixtures into our custom home designs. You’ll find that we love adding gold light fixtures to give simple home designs a little something extra and often use black light fixtures to add more depth and dimension to a space.

4. Tiles

Tiles are an absolute game changer when it comes to using finishing touches to elevate your home. Thankfully, tile is no longer limited to just bathrooms and kitchens. Custom home builders are getting more creative in how they incorporate them into spaces all throughout the home. 

Floors, walls, showers and backsplashes – there’s room for creativity everywhere!

Since tiles are made out of natural materials, they last a very, very long time. Picking out tiles can be a decision you make now that you will continue to benefit from for years. Whether you showcase your personality through colors and patterns or prefer to keep things neutral with natural stone, there are options available for every space in your home.

5. Countertops

The quality of your countertop surfaces is something you can see and feel so it’s definitely a detail you won’t want to miss. Whether it’s the surfaces in your bathrooms or your kitchen island, your countertops can pack a powerful punch when it comes to your home’s design.

Many kitchen countertops use materials like granite, marble or a personal favorite of ours – quartz. Whether it’s a natural material or man-made, each has its pros and cons so before settling on a material for your countertops, make sure that its durability, stain resistance and overall look match your functional needs as well as your aesthetic needs.

Your countertops can also be a place where you get a little more creative if the accompanying cabinetry and hardware are on the simpler side. 

6. Entryway Staircase

The foyer is the first place in your home a guest will see — be sure to make the right impression. Foyers and entryways are not only aesthetic features but also serve as functional spaces for providing that extra storage space you need for your home.

If your home has a staircase that can be seen from the entryway, you’ll want to be sure it stands out. It’s also the perfect place to add a statement feature like an understairs mini bar or to establish your interior design style with ornate wooden railings for an antique-style home or black metal rails for a modern approach. 

7. Flooring

Flooring is the final finishing touch you’ll want to get right when renovating or redesigning your home. Since it’s present in every room, it must be both high quality and match your desired aesthetic.

Most homeowners prefer high-quality wood flooring over carpet. It’s a timeless choice that is durable enough to last through extensive everyday use but it does also require a little extra care to prevent it from looking dull, scuffed and worn down. Since floors are something you use every day you’ll want to take the time to plan ahead to make sure you’re seeing a better return on your investment.

With so many options and styles, you’ll be sure to find the perfect flooring for your home.

Welcoming Homeowners to Austin, Texas

The Austin real estate market has attracted people from all over the country to the Texas capital and like many other Austin custom home builders and real estate professionals, Freccia Group has had a front-row seat in welcoming this surge of millennials, new homeowners, and others looking to invest in real estate. 

At Freccia Group, we’re more than familiar with what it takes to grow alongside our great city of Austin and are excited to welcome this new generation of homeowners as they begin building their futures. While they may just be setting their Austin roots, ours run deep and have built the foundation for Freccia Group as a top-tier Austin-based luxury real estate investment and development firm.  

Get to Know Your Austin Luxury Home Builders

The initial vision for Freccia was to flip, hold, and manage Airbnbs but once people saw our flip work, interest in our design and construction services grew and we instead developed into a general contractor. The Freccia founders already had years of experience growing up in the real estate and construction world and with their combined family backgrounds in flipping, property management, and investment, they then laid the foundation for who Freccia Group is today. 

Freccia Group was officially formed in 2016 as a real estate investment company and we have since grown into one of Austin’s top luxury real estate investment and development firms. Austin homeowners that come to Freccia Group for our residential construction services and business owners more interested in our commercial building have full access to our team of in-house architects, builders, and designers who have a combined 38 years of experience.

Renovate, Build, Develop

New home construction continues to rise in Austin but finding a builder that understands your needs while still producing high-caliber work is key to making sure your new home is truly built for your future. Since we have our own design and construction team in place, we can be with you through every step of your project. While we are widely known for our work renovating, developing, and building new homes on Austin properties, our full range of services includes: 

• Home Renovation Projects
• Full Home Remodels  
• New Home Builds 
• Interior & Exterior Design-Build Projects 
• Multifamily Projects 
• Mixed-Use and Commercial Property Development 

Our real estate services always keep the interests and futures of our Austin communities in mind. This is why we prioritize delivering high-quality projects that our clients can trust to fit their needs and add value to the communities they’re in. 

Austin is known for its growing diverse and creative communities and when it comes to the future of Austin real estate, we want our projects to continue adding to that. This means challenging conventional wisdom and having a unique perspective on how amenities, lot size, landscaping, and pathways can work together to achieve one-of-a-kind Austin luxury.

A home renovation project is an ambitious undertaking. You need to plan ahead of time to get the details right; plus, your renovation has to match the aesthetic of the rest of your home. Our home remodeling contractors in Round Rock, Texas, can help you execute a home renovation that will make you love your home all over again.

Here are all the steps to getting the most out of your home renovation project:

1. Planning is everything

The success of your home renovation project depends largely on how well you do your research. Every home remodeling project requires extensive planning, from design to build. The professionals at Freccia Group follow a six-step process that includes:

1. Vision consultation: We discuss the scope of your project and timeline.

2. Architectural design: We bring the architects and construction managers to design the room—whether we’re adding a room or renovating one—you want.

3. City permitting: We submit our designs and plans to the city for approval, making sure we comply with all local codes and zoning.

4. Crafted construction: We break ground (if need be) and start construction.

5. Finish: When construction is complete, we finish up any small details that remain.

2. Let natural light in

One of the easiest ways to make a huge difference in any home renovation project is to include ways to let natural light into your home. Features like large windows let in natural light and brighten up the home. Plus, if you select energy-efficient windows, they can actually save you money on your utilities.

Talk to your remodeling contractor about the best ways to let natural light enter the home. High ceilings, skylights, and French windows can help you increase the flow of sunlight into the home. Plus, more natural light makes rooms feel more spacious.

3. Put down hardwood floors

Hardwood floors are a great way to add an elegant and timeless touch to a room. Whether renovating your living room or a bedroom, hardwood flooring lasts long, costs very little to maintain, and complements interior design themes. It used to be that hardwood floors were great for any room except the kitchen and bathrooms, but with new technology, there are floors that look just like wood but are made with durable composite substrates or tile. Both options give you the look and feel of wood but the durability and water-resistant quality of tile.

3-Step Model

Planning a bathroom remodel is an exciting undertaking. Most homeowners who like to be involved in remodeling their bathroom go through many magazines until they find the kind of bathroom they want for their home. You can renovate your bathroom to make it look like a minimalistic, modern space or you can have it fitted with heated floors and marble tile walls if you want a luxurious, high-end bathroom.

Here are our top tips to help you along your bathroom remodel journey:

1. Plan ahead

If you want to avoid last-minute fiascos and changes in planning, plan ahead. This gives you plenty of time to work out a budget, select the right materials, and visualize the finished look of your bathroom.

Before embarking on a remodeling project, you and your remodeling contractor will need to discuss everything, from space to budget to the plumbing in your bathroom. You may also want to consult both an architect (if you’re expanding the space) and an interior designer to get the best possible result. The more you plan ahead, the greater the chances of you ending up with the look you had in mind for your bathroom all along.

2. Bathroom flooring

Many homeowners don’t think of bathroom flooring until later, but it’s actually one of the most important things when it comes to the overall visual impact of the space as well as its functionality.

The floors are actually a safety issue because you don’t want to slip and fall when you step out of the shower. Whether you want marble tiles or a heated floor, flooring can occupy a wide range of your budget depending on the style, texture, quality, and whether technology and a floor heating system will need to be installed.

3. Heaters and saunas

One of the biggest trends in new bathrooms is indoor saunas. For some homes, they have to be custom built, but for others, there are companies that make prebuilt saunas where your remodeling contractor can drop in the unit into a prebuilt frame. For other homeowners for whom an indoor sauna may be a bit out of range, high-efficiency heaters are great for at least keeping warm when stepping out of the bath or shower.

Maybe you’ve already done the tract home buying in a master-planned community. But now you’re at a point where you can afford to get what you want. You have the land, now it’s time to find the right new home builder experts in Round Rock, Texas.

Here is the ultimate guide to hiring a home builder.

1. Do your research

Go online and look at the websites of home builders you’re considering for the job. Look at their reviews to see what their clients are saying about them. You can also get in touch with them either with your design plans (if you’ve already engaged an architect) or ask if they have an architect they work with as is the case with Freccia Group. Look at their portfolio and make sure you feel comfortable because you’re going to have a lot of interaction with them during this process.

2. Don’t be afraid to ask questions

Once you’ve shortlisted possible candidates, reach out to them with any questions that you have. Ask about their style of building, the materials they use and how they adhere to schedules. Do they have ample experience with modern architecture or more traditional? How long do they think it will take to complete the project? Do they breakdown their costs? If so, how detailed? What triggers a change order or is there a contingency in the estimates that allow for some variance?

3. Double check the organization

You should check to see if home building company upholds safety standards. Do they have the right licenses and insurance? Do they offer their clients a strong warranty that they will get the results they want? How long is the warranty good for and what does it include? Does it cover both labor and materials? You can tell how robust and reliable a company is by how seriously they uphold quality and safety standards and if they stand by their craftsmanship.

Many homeowners struggle to articulate how they want to alter their homes to suit where they are in life. They bring visions of knocking out walls, and adding windows—maybe even adding a second floor, but don’t think about the cost impact of these ideas. The secret is to hire a team of home builders who will work with you to redesign your floor plan and strategically construct your vision.

If you’re considering upgrading your house’s indoor or outdoor spaces, you can reach out to our home remodeling experts in Round Rock, Texas who can help you get started.

Here are the best tips to help you get the home layout of your dreams within a reasonable budget.

1. Determine your budget

The first step is to figure out how much you’re willing to spend on your home remodeling project. Your budget for and hire an architect to create your vision, then get estimates from general contractors to work out how much they will need to charge you for the whole project. With Freccia Group, we can handle everything from design to construction, so we keep the process simple and manage the whole thing for you.

2. Match your living spaces to your needs

Think about all of the things in your home you’d like to change. Consciously move through your day from the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night. Everything you do can be enhanced or become easier with some alterations to design or amenities.

When you use the bathroom, do you hate the old bathtub that you have to stand in to take a shower? If you don’t use the bathtub, why not replace it with a walk-in shower? Do you and your partner struggle with who takes a shower first causing either of you to be late for work. Why not a double shower head? Some things are better done together, right?

What about your kitchen? Is the breakfast area so far from the kitchen that you have raised your voice to have simple conversations? Why not expand the kitchen to include an island table where you can gather for meals and impromptu gatherings?

You’ll have plenty of time to discuss your plans with your home builder, including the things you’d like to see in your design. How much space do you need? Do you want plenty of natural light? What kind of floors do you have in mind? Think about these things and how they can make living in your home better, easier, and more comfortable.

3. Ask for multi-functional spaces

Multi-functional spaces are great value for money. A breakfast area within the kitchen makes mealtime more enjoyable, and a courtyard that doubles as a dining area will give you great value for your money and give your home a modern and trendy touch.

In the planning stages, don’t be afraid to brainstorm. Think about what you need, then what you want, but don’t be afraid to express a desire. The worse that can happen is that it’s outside of your budget, but, then again, it may not be.

If you live in an area affected by storms, you’ll know that they can cause water damage to the home. Damage from storms can affect several parts of the home, including the ceilings, doors, and windows.

If your home in Texas is in need of repairs and restoration after a big storm, you can reach out to our remodeling contractor in Round Rock, Texas, for renovation and remodeling services. From bathrooms to kitchens to patios, we’ve remodeled countless indoor and outdoor living spaces for our clients.

Here are the most common repairs that homeowners request after storm damage.

1. Leaky Roof

High winds can blow shingles off your roof, so leaks can compromise the structural integrity of your home’s frame—especially if water is allowed to leak in over an extended period of time. If there is considerable water damage from the leak, you need to repair it quickly or replace your roof.

2. Damaged Floors

When heavy rains come to an area with poor drainage, flooding is inevitable. As water creeps into your home during a flood, the first thing it touches is the floor. If you have carpet, you’ll need to remove it as soon as the water subsides. This will prevent mold and mildew from growing. If you have wood floors, you’ll need to remove the planks immediately for the same reason. However, with tile and marble, you just need to drain and dry the area since these materials don’t soak up water and pose no health risks for mold.

3. Wet Drywall

The second thing flooding water touches when it enters your home are the baseboards and drywall. As soon as the water subsides, you need to remove the baseboards and the drywall up to three feet. Why three feet? Because it makes it easier to replace since drywall sheets come in three-foot dimensions, so you don’t have to cut them to fit the area.

If the floodwaters reached higher than three feet, you have to remove the drywall to six feet or just remove all of the drywall.

4. Damaged Doors

Snow, hail, and rain can damage your doors and the impact of thunderstorms can compromise the door’s wood and paint.

You can prevent or minimize storm damage to your doors by selecting those made with storm-resistant material. This will help you save money that would otherwise be spent on replacing your doors. However, in some cases, the substrate used in making these doors don’t have as much character as real wood.

5. Insulation Damage

If your home was flooded during a heavy storm, your insulation can undergo a lot of water damage. Rot and mold can build up in waterlogged insulation. A company that specializes in water remediation and home repairs can replace waterlogged insulation. But it has to be removed quickly because water can weaken the beams and the structure of your home. Make sure you thoroughly inspect your house for signs of storm damage after a rainstorm.

Our home remodeling experts in Round Rock, Texas, can help you remodel your home to be better adapted against the impact of a thunderstorm. You can check out our work on our website.

Have you been thinking about finally remodeling your kitchen this year? Changing up some elements that make up your kitchen, such as the windows, countertops, or cabinets, can give it a brand new look and improve it’s functionality. And a kitchen remodel doesn’t have to be insanely expensive – in fact, you can save a lot of money if you work with the proper budget. Our team of home remodeling experts in Round Rock, Texas, can advise you on the best way to cut costs during a kitchen remodel without compromising on quality.

Here are the best ways to save money on a kitchen remodel.

1. Explore less expensive materials for your backsplash

The backsplash for your kitchen is where can cut costs because you don’t have to spend a fortune on the newest, latest materials. Explore materials such as concrete tiles, which don’t cost a lot but can still add aesthetic value to your kitchen. Also, look for discontinued tiles at your local tile store. In many cases, you can get 80% off the regular price by just shopping around. But be sure to buy a bit more than you need just in case there’s an accident during the installation or you need to repair the backsplash later on.

2. Don’t completely overhaul your cabinetry

You don’t need to get rid of your kitchen cabinets if they’re still structurally sound and in good condition. If the hinges are coming loose or if the paint is peeling off, you don’t need to get new cabinetry because these issues can be repaired and restored. Just call a carpenter to restore your cabinets to their former glory. You can also refinish the frames and replace the doors to give them a whole new look.

Talk to our residential builder in Round Rock, TX, to discuss how your old cabinetry can be integrated into your new, remodeled kitchen.

3. Work with your current kitchen layout

If you like your current kitchen design and just want to just update it, you can ask your contractor to design the new aspects of the kitchen in such a way that they complement the old layout. By repurposing your kitchen space to make it more efficient, you don’t have the cost of knocking down walls or expanding the footprint. With some smart design ideas, you can squeeze more function from an existing space.
