Missoula Building Industry Association
Welcome to the 2011 Parade of Homes. The past few years have provided economic challenges for the Missoula community and the local building industry. However, challenges are often accompanied by opportunities. This year, the Parade of Homes Tour is comprised of unique projects which provide a wide range of examples of today’s housing choices under the Big Sky. The diversity of these homes truly showcases the creativity, ingenuity, and craftsmanship of our builders and their supporting subcontractors and suppliers. This fall, the Missoula Building Industry Association presents five unique projects. They include two high end custom homes: a western style ranch home and a maintenance free luxury townhome. The traditional, yet modern, log home is definitely worth the drive and the two remodel projects provide beautiful examples of how you can recreate your existing home. These projects provide many ideas and examples of how working with a builder can help create a space custom designed for your needs. Whether you start from the ground up or you want to remodel your existing space, we have professionals who can make those plans a reality. I would also like to thank the Missoula community for supporting the first Missoula Student Built House raffle. The second Student Built House is currently under construction and will be presented during the 2012 Parade of Homes. Call the MBIA office for details on the house raffle and project updates. Again, Welcome to the 2011 Parade of Homes. I look forward to seeing you on this year’s tour and thank you for your annual support of this MBIA event and of the Missoula Building Community. Wade Hoyt, Hoyt Homes Inc. President, MBIA
Embracing the Big Sky Life Style, Wow! That’s a tall order. What better time to celebrate the home building industry with all its current highs and lows. Summer in Montana is the best and we have selected the best of the best for our Parade of Homes for 2011. A combination of new and creatively remodeled homes, a show case of what’s happening in our beautiful valley. A special thanks to our premier builders who have ramped up their projects to finish by September and the home owners who have graciously consented for us to showcase their homes. Also, a big thanks to my wonderful Parade of Homes Committee and Co-Chair, Shelley Howard Kingston of Shelley Howard Consulting and Property Management and the excellent support from the professional staff at our MBIA office. This project would not be possible without each and every one of you. My interest in the Parade of Homes has spanned many years and has covered serving on the committee as Design Chair, Parade Chair for two years and doing design work for 5 or 6 homes, thru SueB Design and Pierce Flooring and Design. The opportunity for all the talented builders and suppliers and craftsman and women to showcase their talent to you, our community, is something we look forward to. Enjoy Embracing the Big Sky Lifestyle Parade of Homes. Perhaps you can see yourself embracing one of the many styles you will see. Sue Bergmeier SueB Design/ Pierce Flooring and Design Event Chair

Make Every Room in Your Home Look Better
For Less – With Lighting!
There’s good news for homeowners wanting to freshen up their décor without splurging on new furniture or a costly renovation. A few simple – and budget-friendly – changes in any room’s lighting will make a noticeable difference! Regardless of which room needs updating, the correct lighting choice is the most significant single factor in a room’s decorative appeal. “You can even achieve the look of custom lighting on a limited budget,” says certified lighting designer Joe Rey-Barreau, an education consultant for the ALA and an associate professor at the University of Kentucky’s School of Interior Design. “I find the best way is to use sconces whenever possible. The majority are very reasonably priced. The ideal type of sconces for achieving the best effects are either very small – which brings attention to them – or versions that direct the light upward.” Libbe Milicia, director/decorative product development for Progress Lighting, agrees that putting extra illumination on the wall can make a significant impact. “Adjustable swing-arm lamps are available in direct-wire and plug-in models for maximum flexibility. Not only do they serve as decorative elements, but they also add an extra layer of light,” she says. “Consumers have a ‘less is more’ attitude today, so the products purchased must represent quality, functionality and performance”, says Milicia. “Wall sconces can function as tableside reading lamps in place of a traditional table or floor lamps to suit less-cluttered interiors.” If dual functionality is the goal, consider one of the new energy-efficient ceiling fans. “There are some amazingly interesting light kits for ceiling fans that can create a focal point in any space,” Rey-Barreau says. Those that have indirect light shining above the motor offer a lot of visual appeal and can make a room look larger. Another good technique is to hang mini-chandeliers in numerous areas of the home. “Many small-size chandeliers are affordable and provide a lot of aesthetic bang for the buck. I recommend using only chandeliers with shades; decorative lighting should not have the bulbs visible,” Rey-Barreau says.

the Builder
David Edgell moved to Montana from England in 1971 and started in the construction industry as a union laborer. In 1979, he began his first remodeling business. His business has since grown and now, David and his staff have over 200 years of combined building industry experience. Certified Lead Safe and Green Professional, this team can draw from resources incomparable to other builders in the Missoula and surrounding area. Whether the project is an affordable starter home, a mid to higher-end custom home, or an existing home remodel, Edgell Building has built its reputation on quality, innovation, and care. Previous clients describe Edgell Building best… “Throughout the building process, the Edgell team members were true collaborators – experts in every detail, but also open to our ideas. Now that we are living in our home, we appreciate each day the old-fashioned craftsmanship that Edgell poured into every square inch.” “David Edgell and his people take pride in all their work, from the most visual to the most hidden of details. His expertise on home building has resulted in a beautiful home for our family.” “I felt that my “affordable” home was just as important to him as the higher-end homes. I love my new home!”

he Trout Meadows Ranch Home, nestled among the old growth cottonwoods and aspens of a Clark Fort River tributary, embodies the casual Montana lifestyle through the use of natural materials and expansive views of the nearby riparian. The home is a reflection of the owner’s passion for fishing, and his desire to enjoy the natural surroundings and views of the abundant wildlife and waterfowl that share the property, including deer, foxes, eagles and blue heron. This “Western Contemporary” home is oriented toward views of the watershed while taking advantage of passive solar benefits in the cooler months. Integrating the use of natural materials with the surroundings, including timber and stone, add to the casual, quality aesthetic of the home. Sustainable building materials were used throughout the design and attention to detail was afforded for an energy efficient home. This design embodies strict architectural guidelines which reflect a commitment to subdivision standards that fit the demand for quality designs with a flair for the contemporary, without sacrificing creative design solutions and green building practices. The spacious interior takes advantage of natural light, and the “open-concept” floor plan makes the home inviting and comfortable for guests and family gatherings while maintaining cozy, quiet spaces as well. The owners appreciate social gatherings where the cook can visit with guests and be a part of the event. A special non formal wine tasting room is located off the entry which reflects the laid back lifestyle the owner has with friends and family. The interior also includes a nice blend of natural materials that compliment the exterior and keeps the “cozy” home feeling and avoids the “hunter lodge” effect. The children’s bedrooms are located upstairs with the family room and open study spaces. Main level living with common amenities will allow the homeowners to enjoy this great design for many years to come. The Trout Meadows Ranch Home is an affordable custom home for the Montana home buyer.

If You Want the Job Done Right,
Hire a Professional Remodeler Any homeowner planning to remodel wants nothing less than a professional job. Who wouldn’t want the best quality in terms of workmanship and materials when it comes to improving their most prized and most valuable asset? However, when it comes to selecting a remodeler, too many buyers conveniently forget the time-proven adage that “you get what you pay for.” The dilemma that confronts many homeowners is their desire for a top-notch job at the lowest possible price. With price as their primary focus, they ignore other criteria that may carry more weight in producing a successfully completed project and a smooth working relationship with the remodeler. It’s understandable that price is a major consideration when it comes to remodeling. The cost of remodeling has increased as the demand for remodeling grows. Higher costs of materials and scarcity of skilled labor are just two factors contributing to price hikes. Homeowners need to understand that remodeling is a service and not merely a product. This service encompasses the intangibles that make up the process of remodeling – how everything comes together and results in a satisfying experience and an acceptable finished product. The materials and products that go into it can’t define a professional job alone. The nature of remodeling as a service becomes even more pronounced when you consider that inevitable you’ll be sharing your home with the remodelers’ crews for weeks or even months, depending on the scale of the project. All remodeling involves some degree of inconvenience, but inconvenience can easily turn into a nightmare if you remodeler doesn’t put your family’s comfort and concerns first. Rather than selecting a remodeler based on where one bid falls compared to others, shift you focus to finding a professional remodeler; then go about getting a bid on your job. If the bid is higher than what you budgeted,

Missoula Building Industry Association
work with the remodeler to decide where you can cut back or what you can postpone to keep the project on budget. Some important characteristics you should be looking for to ensure that you hire a professional remodeler are: • Experience – Ask how long the remodeler has been in business. Longevity suggests financial stability, which is necessary for the remodeler to finish the job and still be available if a problems crop up after the job is completed. Also, the more jobs the company has completed, the more expertise the remodeler will bring to your project and the hidden surprises that remodeling typically entails. • Reputation – Look to the remodelers’ former and current customers to gauge the company’s reputation. Obtain the names and phone numbers of customers you can call to get their impressions of the company’s work and customer service. • Business Credentials – A good place to start your search for a remodeler is with your local builders association and it’s affiliated local Remodelers Council. Groups like these help to keep their members informed about new products, construction techniques, business practices and industry issues. Participation demonstrates a remodeler’s commitment to professionalism and to the remodeling industry. Many trade groups also confer professional credentials, such as Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR), to those who meet their requirements, which is a positive indicator of the remodeler’s reputation. • License and Insurance – Ask to see a copy of the remodeler’s contractor license. It is also important to verify that the remodeler carries workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Have the remodeler show you copies of both insurance certificates to protect yourself from liability in situations involving job site injuries or property damage resulting the work being done on your home. If your goal is a professional remodeling project, then your best bet is to hire a professional remodeler. The extra cost will pay for itself in the satisfaction you receive while the project is in progress and during the many years you will enjoy the completed project. To find a professional remodeler in your area, contact the Missoula Building Industry Association at 406-543-4423 or visit www.buildmissoula.com.

Baby Boomers Don’t Have to Budget -ifThey Remodel Right
Baby boomers people born in the post-World War II years between 1946 and 1964 – are entering or nearing retirement age. And research shows that Americans have a strong preference to remain in their current residence for as long as possible as they grow older, meaning they will need to remodel or adapt their homes to meet their changing abilities and circumstances. This is called aging-in-place. Aging-in-place is generally defined as living in one’s home safely, comfortably and independently, regardless of age, income or level of mobility. It can be an agonizing decision to have to choose whether to move or stay put. Older Americans have always been the least inclined to move, compared to home owners of any other age group. Research from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB found that more than 50 percent of those ages 55 or older
have lived in their homes longer than 10 years. Many older home owners would prefer to stay close to friends and family, value the community that they have been a part of for many years and don’t want to start over someplace new. Also, some may have to stay where they presently live because of financial concerns and limitations imposed by living on fixed incomes. Very simply, “getting around” is the key to making a house compatible to the needs of the aging-in-place occupant. Remodelers report that the most common projects for their aging-in-place clients are making more accessible accommodations, installing brighter lighting, widening doors and hallways, adding railings or grab bars to prevent falls, changing floor coverings to add traction and eliminate slippery surfaces, and installing ease –of-reach and bend systems. Home builders and remodelers are ready for this large population that will seek their services to help them live conveniently and safely in the home and community where they feel most comfortable. To address the unique demands of the burgeoning aging-in-place market, NAHB Remodelers, in collaboration with the NAHB Research Center, the (continued on pg. 28)

The home is approached through an intimate entry court with bamboo fencing. You enter the home through a custom oak door with art-glass accents into an entry vestibule with slate flooring that is carried up the adjacent wall as a backdrop for floor-to-ceiling bamboo accents. Off the hallway is a guest bedroom featuring a custom Murphy bed and its own full bath featuring a unique art-glass window into the hallway. Halfway down the hallway you will find an elevator that provides access to the second level. At end of the hallway is the great room; combining kitchen, living and dining areas with an expanse of windows overlooking a two level patio and the Clark Fork River beyond. The kitchen has extensive custom bamboo cabinetry. An island with a lower granite and custom maple slab countertop separates the kitchen from the living room, which is a dramatic two-story space accentuated by two large, curved log beams. A unique electric fireplace with a bed of glowing coals is surrounded by custom bamboo cabinetry that includes a TV concealed behind sliding doors and flanked by built-in display shelves. Appliances include a gas cooktop with hood, French door refrigerator/ freezer, double wall mounted conventional/convection/microwave combination ovens and dishwasher, all in Jenn-Air’s oiled bronze finish. The dining room includes a wall of built-in glass doored bamboo cabinets with a granite-topped sidebar with mirror above. The hallways, stairs, kitchen, living and dining rooms all have beautiful maple hardwood floors. Across from the kitchen the hallway leading to the master suite is flanked by a built-in pantry on one side and foldaway doors hiding the laundry alcove on the other. The foyer serving the master bedroom, bath and walk-in closet includes a lighted accent panel and a paper birch tree. Entry into the master bedroom is through an oversized, partially translucent custom door riding on concealed barn door hardware. The master bedroom has large windows and a glass door overlooking the patio and the river. The spacious master bath includes a walk-in shower, a soaking tub in a tiled deck and his and her vanities. An oversized walk-in closet is well appointed with maple shelving, double-level rods and baskets for convenient storage. At the top of the cable-railed stairway is a loft overlooking the curved log beams that form a backdrop to the living area below. There are spectacular views of the river from this space, which will be used as an office by the owners. This level also includes a spacious guest bedroom with a full bath with a round Shoji screened accent window between the bath and loft area. The home has a six-source audio system with individual room controls, a 3 zone Ruud 90% efficient furnace/air conditioner and radiant heat under the tiled floors in all bathrooms. Over 550 square feet of outdoor living space is provided in a two-level, walled patio overlooking the river and the expansive, HOA maintained common area that meanders throughout Water’s Edge. The riverfront trail...and the beautiful Clark Fork River...are only steps away from your private patio.

Kitchen Lighting If you’re looking to add some visual oomph for the kitchen without springing for new cabinets, countertops or appliances, try colorful pendants. These highly affordable fixtures are perfect for putting aesthetic and functional punch in dining rooms and entertainment areas, according to Rey-Barreau. Not enamored with pendants? No problem. Milicia suggests another cost-conscious option: interior hanging lanterns. “There are many functional – yet decorative – models that would enliven a kitchen. “You can hang the lanterns individually over a breakfast nook for extra light, or place them in multiples of two or more over the kitchen island. It’s a fresh approach that earns points for style in a non-traditional fashion,” she says. “If you want to have less energy consumption and a lower budget, consider a linear chandelier, which will cover more surface area than pendants while achieving maximum performance.” Another way to update a kitchen is to use a small chandelier with glass or fabric shades. “Shades are critical because they control glare, and also direct light down to the surface of the island,” say Ray-Barreau. “You could also use one over the breakfast nook.” Installing LED under cabinet lighting is one of Rey-Barreau’s favorite ways to increase functional illumination at the countertop work area. “One of the most interesting styles is very tiny ‘tape’ LEDs where single LEDs are actually embedded on a roll of tape that can be attached to the underside of the cabinet,” he says. “The tape has an adhesive on one side, so it’s as simple as putting Scotch® tape on a surface.” (continued on pg. 42) Missoula Building Industry Association 23

He has furthered his education by being a member of the National Home Builders Association, Missoula Building Industry Association and Design Institute for Builders. Doug’s first official entry in the Parade of Homes was in 2005, entitled “The Continental”. In 2009, He entered “The Fishin’ Log”, an extensive remodel project encompassing a home, shop and landscape design that won him Best Overall Design, the Craftsmanship Award, and Memorable Design in the remodel category while tying for Best Kitchen. McCollum Builders and Design’s main focus over the years has been on new design/build homes for energy efficient one floor living with special attention to the “baby boomer” generation. Doug enjoys remodel projects as well and has recently branched out into light commercial and design construction. Doug currently resides in “The Continental” and uses his home as a hands-on design tool enabling clients to see a living example of the functionality of an energy efficient home and how he integrates various green building products and techniques. McCollum Builders and Design continues to blend architecture, technology, and energy efficiency to achieve an economical balance that will exceed the customer’s vision. Doug has often said “When you take the time to listen to each individual and design a project to fit their needs, you will find success”.

ou’ve met The Remingtons, you’ve met The Winchesters, now meet The Sharps. The Sharps location offers both old growth tree privacy and magnificent views of Lolo Peak. The original home was built in the mid-70’s and was 4176 sq.ft. The extensive remodel added 4700 sq. ft. of new living space. The home originally was a classic split level with sunken living room and had seven different levels throughout the home. The Sharps was designed and remodeled around old growth trees, with attention to handicap accessibility and two home based businesses. The features of this design give birth to an “aging in place” home. The new addition removed four levels of the original home and replaced it with one level. The wider hallways offer ease of movement and accessibility throughout the home. The seamless walk from the street to the front door was designed with handicap accessibility in mind. The wide tile entry corridor offers exciting options around various corners. Turn right onto the oak hardwood floors which will lead you to the beautiful centrally located living room which envelopes the original fireplace and a new bay window looking onto the water feature in the yard and access to the deck. The hardwood floors continue around into the dining room, which is great for dinners with friends and family. The kitchen is open to the dining room and has a lowered eating bar accessible by wheelchair and a great space for two. The beautiful oak cabinets compliment the new stainless steel appliances. The kitchen sink has a wonderful view out the front yard and across to the wooded park. The original two story structure part of the home continues on to the right. When turning left off the entry way there is the drop area or entrance to the garage. The Master suite encompasses the back portion of the home, giving the owners a wonderful private area. This master suite can be accessed off the living room or through the master closet. The bedroom is carpeted and the peacefulness and quietness is enhanced by the beautiful views out the bedroom windows and onto the private deck. The Sharps has a unique requirement; to incorporate two home based businesses, each with specific needs. Just to the left of the drop area is the entrance to one work area for the supply based business and large storage room. This space is nicely separated from the living quarters yet easily accessible for the owner.
5325 Mockingbird Way The second work area is an art studio above the garage with a beautiful inspiring view for the artist. We at McCollum Builders and Design invite you to come and see the transformation of this home from seven levels into a beautiful handicap accessible one level home for a lifetime.

TO BUY OR not TO BUY? THAT IS THE QUESTION OF THE MARKET! Written by First Security Bank – Real Estate Lending Center
Today’s market is different. How we react in this market is different. First Security Bank is a long standing community oriented bank ready to help our customers! If you are currently looking for or building a new home it’s still a great time to buy! Interest rates are still at all time lows and home prices are more affordable. Best of both worlds at the present moment. Being ready to buy is important, lenders are under pressure these days to make sure buyers are qualified and fully informed on options available. There are some things that you can do ahead of time to make sure you are ready. Lenders still follow the old adage of the three “C”s, Credit, Capacity and Collateral. It’s a good idea to be Pre-Qualified before finding a home. Visit with a local lender they can walk you through the process of how much your cash requirement will be for down payment and closing costs; the sales price and loan amount you are qualified for and what your monthly housing expense will be. Realtors typically request a Pre-Qualification letter to attach with an offer on a home. If you’re competing for a home this can give you a leg up to secure the home of your dreams. There are signs of optimism in our local community, with conditions working in our favor. We have seemed to escape the full extent of harmful impacts of the housing downturn that the rest of the country felt; we enjoy a diverse economy; a strong community full of professionals willing to tackle the challenges we experience today.
HOME TEAM We are more than your First Security Bank real estate lending team, we’re your neighbors. Talk to one of us about our unsurpassed experience, competitive rates, and local approval process. We’re sure you’ll walk out with a smile on your face. L to R: Tony Amaya NMLS #s: 712723

COLOR IS BACK!
We are rediscovering the joy, beauty and optimism that we need to written by Premier Paints, Jeff Motley overcome Sue Bergmeier of SueB Design adversity, and our color choices for home will reflect that. We see trends gravitating towards deep, bold and bright colors to invigorate the grays and beiges of the past. The headwind of color enthusiasm will encourage us to make highly charged personal choices like lipstick red and azure blues, for a vibrant 2011 and 2012. Our homes are an ongoing design evolution pushing towards what’s honest, authentic and truly personal. Instinct colors are warm, minimal, luxurious and raw. The soul of instinct is warm and authentic. It fuses the ancient, mythology, raw and primitive with a highly technical modern-day aesthetic. Instinct belongs to a citizen of the world with grown-up tastes and could be simply described as a mix of ethnic exoticism and modern sophistication. The palette is wood-inspired browns, charcoal grays and blacks and aged leather browns. Glamour colors are mysterious, sophisticated, intricate and sensual. The mood is glamorous and mysterious. Glistening metallic’s and intricate motifs
invite a sophisticated décor. With a contemporary perspective, it lets us bring to life a new gold standard connecting the past with the present. This palette has magnificent, moody black, sexy lipstick red, creamy limestone and wood inspired browns. New Bohemia is romantic, imaginative, and poetic. It has a whimsical sense of design, and a rebirth of craft. New Bohemia is a pastoral trend that blends bucolic elements with second-hand objects for an authentic look that updates the vintage aesthetic for a contemporary age. The composition of floral inspiration, mix of modern and craft with a feminine touch transforms your home in an original but authentic way. The palette includes fresh aqua, happy pink, craft paper beige and wood inspired browns. Up cycle colors are all about living simply and wasting nothing. The colors are clever, simplified, functional and optimistic. Up cycle appeals to the optimist who values craftsmanship, rejects waste, and values things with a history. It embodies simple living, keeping only what is functional and personal. The palette includes woodinspired brown, bright yet faded aqua, and yellow-paper bag. Decorating is more then making a place pretty. It’s about creating a space that embodies a feeling that reflects what you love and who you are. Do it with color.

The VALUE of Homeownership The members of Missoula’s building community celebrate the many benefits of owning a home. Despite the downturn in the housing market, families continue to seek to achieve the “American Dream” of homeownership. Owning a home can often be a lifestyle improvement, enabling a family to enjoy a neighborhood, features and other amenities that suit their present and future day to day activities. Newly constructed houses can deliver energy efficiency, storage space, well designed floor plans, and the latest technologies in electrical systems and appliances. Rooms are often spacious, and lots of windows to let in light. A new home also comes with the peace of mind of little maintenance needed. Existing homes offer neighborhoods whose character has already been established, mature landscaping with tall trees, and an existing selection of businesses and services for the home owner to use. If the home isn’t already a great fit to the buyers’ taste, it can be renovated to reflect the new owners’ needs and preferences. Homeownership lets families build connections. Owners take pride in their homes, and develop friendships with other people who also own homes and care about the neighborhood. A home is a place where families make a sanctuary that feels comfortable and safe, and where they develop social networks, begin friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Tips for Judging People’s Choice Notable Kitchen: This highlights the style and purpose of the kitchen area, evaluating how it combines materials with practical arrangements to provide an optimum in ease and function.
Points to Ponder: Does the design of the kitchen area, in cooperation with the appliances, fixtures and use of materials, create a practical space that compliments the arrangement of the house while displaying utility?
Memorable DĂŠcor: The manner in which a home assumes character and distinction is owed in measure to the careful selection of furnishings and embellishments that compliment rather than compete with the house itself.
Points to Ponder: Do the furnishings and decorations harmonize with the overall design of the house while creating a unique ambiance?
Overall Design: In establishing a framework of living space, the design must influence and produce an environment that lends itself to comfort and space without constricting the operational aspect of the house.
Points to Ponder: Does the layout of the house flow from a practical perspective of space, usage, maintenance and ease of use?
Craftsmanship: Every occupation allows for the focus of the attention on the care and thought used in constructing the home. Beyond that, however, is an appreciation and identification of how well the builder was able to create a balance between style, design, local, landscaping, and other exterior elements to produce aesthetic beauty, or curb appeal, without blatant intrusiveness.
Points to Ponder: Irrespective of the materials, does the house display the distinctive handiwork and signature of careful attention and skill in the ordinary areas of construction?
Site Integration: An appreciation and identification of how well the builder was able to create a balance between style, design, locale, and landscaping in addition to other exterior elements to reflect aesthetic beauty or curb appeal without blatant intrusiveness.
Points to Ponder: Does the style of the house blend into the surrounding environment, utilizing the location, landscaping and design elements in making it a part of the local community or area?

STAR label. If you find that your equipment doesn’t need to be replaced, give it a tune-up and take care of any minor repairs or leaks to improve efficiency, and make sure your pipes and ducts are insulated.
High Performance Windows Consider replacing single-pane windows. Double-pane windows with high performance glass (e.g., low emissivity or “low-e” glass) that are gas-filled perform much better and help reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in summer. Low-E coatings used to add about $1 per square foot of glazing, however, in most climates this has become the standard. Low-E coatings save energy in most U.S. climates. In a simulation of a home located in Boston, low-E coating saved $103 per year. Interior storm windows provide a compromise by increasing energy efficiency while maintaining exterior aesthetics at a significant cost savings over window replacement.

Bathroom Lighting The typical master bath renovation is costly, but installing some new lighting is not only much cheaper, but can yield just as much impact to anyone using that space. “I always recommend at least three layers of light,” Rey-Barreau says. “The primary one would be at the vanity, which is best achieved with lighting above and on the sides of the mirror. Although not my preference, small recessed lighting above the mirror can also create a very dramatic effect.” If you like the look of recessed, Milicia suggests mounting the downlights 24 to 36 inches on the centers between your face and mirror. She also suggests placing wall sconces on either side of the mirror to help reduce shadows that could be cast on the face and to supplement the ambient lighting. How much illumination is enough? Rey-Barreau says the lighting at the vanity should be approximately 120 watts of incandescent at the top of the mirror and 60 watts on each side. If you’re using compact fluorescent bulbs, that would be approximately 30 watts at the top and 15 watts on the sides. The second layer of lighting he advises is to have an overhead fixture. “The most dramatic would be one that is close to the ceiling and provides both direct and indirect light,” Rey-Barreau suggests. There are plenty of choices At Western Montana Lighting, your local ALA-member lighting showroom, in Missoula. Want another nice luxury touch? Install a simple, UL-listed shower light. This is not a standard feature in many builder homes and is a highly functional amenity. Milicia adds, “Accent lighting with natural textures will offer a pampered touch to any vanity and provide more bang for the buck.”

tanding proud in the fore front of its Montana working ranch, the T. Lee
Rose is a 6850 square foot log home that pays attention to her stunning 360 degree views of Montana’s finest cowboy country. It is the care and craftsmanship of her builders that is evident everywhere, from the 15 inch Douglas Fir logs skillfully crafted in Canada, to the hundreds of details including a concrete hearth, hand hewn mantel, bronze countertops, and hanging beds that truly brought this home together.
The open floor plan has been laid out to minimize the work for the ranch
with mud room entries and a laundry on every floor. A professional kitchen with a large island and walk in pantry boasts plenty of seating for extra hands, welcoming them as well as family and friends.
Special touches such as the bay window and master suite balcony, hickory
trim and surrounding porches tied together with radiant floor heat, hardwood, tile and stained concrete flooring make this home an experience worth having.
Andy and Kelly Weaver wanted a home that would last hundreds of years
and become a part of the history of this working Montana ranch. A place that generations would add to and refine with gardens, walk ways, mature trees and a sense of ancestry. A place that would glue together a family and its values. A place to live and grow old, passing it on with pride to future generations so that they too, could have a sense of place.

Selling Tips
for Home Buyers
There are incredible opportunities to buy a home in today’s market. Interest rates are at historic lows, prices are competitive and there is a large selection of homes available to choose from. Whether you would like more space to accommodate a growing family or less to better suit an empty nester lifestyle, the current buyer’s market makes it an ideal time to make a change. But what if you have to sell your current home before you buy a new one? While the buyer’s market means when you buy your new house you will be able to get more for your money than a few years ago, it also means you will have to make sure your existing home is presented in its most attractive light in order to attract potential buyers. Here are some tips to help you improve your chances of attracting a buyer: • Start with a realistic price. Thoroughly research what homes comparable to yours have sold for in the past year, as well as what the asking price is for the homes that are currently for sale. If you are working with a Realtor, they can do this for you. A price that’s too high may keep your home on the market so long that buyers will assume there are problems. • Curb appeal is critical. Some prospective buyers never get out of the car before deciding that a run-down house is not for them. Keep your lawn neatly mowed and seed bare spots, mulch all the garden beds and plant colorful annuals, and paint or touch up fences, trim and the house itself, if it needs it. Fix anything sub-par that’s visible from the street. • Clean, clean, clean. From the minute buyers arrive at your front door; make sure that everything they see is super clean. Put out a new welcome mat. Thoroughly clean carpets, floors, baseboards, curtains, windows, and especially all the surfaces and appliances in your bathrooms and kitchens. Repaint the walls if they are scuffed or stained. • Don’t forget odor. The home should both look and smell clean and welcoming. Open windows in good weather to encourage fresh air to circulate. Use scented cleaners or air fresheners. Some sellers even pop a batch of cookies into the oven or simmer spiced cider on the stove if they know a potential buyer is coming. • Make sure everything works. Fix everything from the merely cosmetic such as burned-out light bulbs, to things that could raise red flags with buyers such as broken sink disposals and leaky faucets. If you don’t fix it, their home inspector will find it. • Clutter kills sales. Make sure beds are made, toys are put away, bookshelves are neatly organized, and counters are cleared of personal items. If your house is too full – and that includes attics and basements – prospective buyers will have trouble visualizing their furnishings and possessions fitting in the space. Consider temporarily moving some furniture or boxes to the homes of friends or family, rent a storage facility, or even have a yard sale. Prospective buyers can see that buying a house that’s already attractive and in good working order will make their lives easier – and could help you get into the home of your dreams that much sooner.

Preventative Fall Maintenance Tips for You Home The children have gone back to school, professional football is back on Monday nights and the summer’s heat wave is behind us – all signs that the fall season has finally arrived. Taking on some preventative Home maintenance projects now will help safeguard you home investment. Here are a few areas of your home to pay special attention to in the next couple of months:
Check Roof Insulation Heat rises, causing heat from your home to escape through any vulnerable areas of the roof. The most efficient way to stop that loss is by installing ceiling and roof insulation with the appropriate R-value. The R-value refers to the ability of any material to resist the passage of heat.
Check for Gaps in Your Home’s Exterior Heated air also can escape from gaps that develop where building materials meet. Inspect areas where building materials may have pulled apart and caulk or seal any gaps that have formed. Check places where exterior siding meets windows and doors, around roof and foundation lines, around chimneys and where pipes protrude through walls or roofs. 48 Missoula Building Industry Association
Inspect Your Heating System Consider replacing an older or inefficient heating unit with a unit with a higher efficiency rating. If your system already is efficient, be sure to inspect and clean it regularly. Be sure that filters are clean and that you change them monthly. A timer model thermostat that can turn the heat down while you sleep or when no one is at home can help save you money.
Examine Windows Ensure that your storm windows and doors are effectively keeping warm air in and cold air out. Look for any cracks around glass, sashes and window frames. If you live in a home built in the last 15 years or so, you likely have double or triple-paned windows and low-emissivity (Low-E) glass. Both of these products increase your energy efficiency and can lower your energy bills.
Don’t Forget To Clean Gutters and Downspouts Gutters and downspouts are easy traps for leaves and pine needles, and squirrels often use them to store food. Be sure to clean gutters thoroughly, and pay special attention to elbows and bends in the downspouts. Keep hangers fastened securely and plug any holes and cracks. Touch up any sections showing signs of rust with rustproof paint. Performing routine home maintenance is essential and well worth the time and effort to keep energy bills low, protect your investment, keep your family safe and prolong the life of your home.

the Builder My career in the home construction business began right after high school when I apprenticed with a Mennonite builder from my small New England community over 32 years ago. From the very beginning I worked in all phases of home construction from start to finish and learned all the trades involved in the construction of fine custom homes. Eventually I ventured out and started my own business. Over the years I have been involved in building over 600 homes in various parts of the country. I continue to this day to practice the art of fine home craftsmanship that I learned from my mentor many years ago. Here at J.S. Custom Homes our craftsmen are in-house employees with years of experience in multiple home building trades who also share my passion for fine home craftsmanship. We love what we do and it shows. It shows in the quality of the craftsmanship and in the enthusiastic recommendations I receive from my happy and satisfied customers. Our secret to success is simple. We believe in the Golden Rule and treat the homeowner the way we would want to be treated. We listen carefully to the homeowner and turn their ideas and wish lists into a beautiful home that exceeds their expectations and fits into their lifestyle and budget. Whatever your construction needs are… whether it be new construction or remodeling, any size project…large or small…J.S. Custom Homes wants to be your builder! Give us a call— you’ll be very happy you did!

the Designer Working with the home owner Sara Simkowitz and David and Lindsey Knudson , I have been able to be part of a very unique project, The Urban Retreat. Taking a much remodeled home from the 60’s and 70’s and 90’s to the next century and still keep that very special Missoula Funk has been a challenge with much reward. In collaboration with Architect Greg Midgett from Paradigm Architects, the home owners and contractor Joe Stanford, JS Custom Homes, we have created a home truly representative of the new and hip of what’s happening in the Missoula Building Industry. The home is buffeted from busy Stephens Ave. by tall hedges and has a secret garden effect with a contemporary rustic style. The remodeled portion if the project blends seamlessly with the existing structure. I was able to use the home owners own furniture with only a few additions and stage a complete and comfortable home. My 20 years experience in design and product selection with SueB Design and Pierce Flooring and Design, has helped to create a truly innovative project. Thanks to all involved for a truly wonderful outcome.
the Architect Paradigm Architects was formed in 1991 in Missoula, Montana. Our goal is to provide high quality, innovative architectural design and planning services at a reasonable cost. We provide a unique number of different architectural design and construction related services. We work for private individuals, state and local governments, school districts, non-profit organizations, Indian tribes and anywhere else we can be of service. Due to the variety of our client’s needs we have worked on a wide range of projects from singlefamily homes, and other residential projects, to schools, museums, and medical facilities. A commitment to a strong and positive dialogue with our clients ensures good communication and a complete understanding of the specific project needs. We work hard to understand the project before beginning to work. The design process is successful only if the end result is completely satisfying to the Owner and end users. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the homeowner, Sara Simkowitiz, for the opportunity to work with her on this project.

building Safe Neighborhoods by Dave Martin.
I recently asked my new neighbors why they moved to Montana and they immediately gave me a whole litany of reasons including the fresh air, the economy, the gracious people and very close to the top of the list was “Safety”. As VP of Product Management and CTO of a local Technology/Phone/Security company I was curious about their perception of safety in our wonderful community. After posing a few questions and listening to their comments what struck me most is that they, like so many of us, perceive Montana as a safe place because of the image of our western culture. As Montanans we love to hunt fish and enjoy the many abundant outdoor activities that our great state has to offer and we do it with pride and great gusto. I like the idea that Montanans are seen as proud, strong, self sufficient citizens but as we approach the inevitable one million people mark I have to stop and ask….. How we will be changed? In the business technology world, we must embrace change quickly to succeed so I tend to adapt that same philosophy in my personal life. Yes, security systems are now an affordable option but they are not the catch-all for home safety and personal security. When our company began selling security systems last year I used it as an opportunity to reach out to my grown children and after a great discussion I came away with a simple check list shared below. I encourage everyone to use this list as a starting point for a family conversation about making a home safety and security plan even if you think you will never use it!
• • • • •
Know your neighbors. They are your eyes and ears when you are not home Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t seem “right” that odd car in the neighborhood an opened gate etc, check it out or report it. Lock your doors and your car doors. Just make it a daily/nightly habit. Don’t make it easy for potential thieves. Be responsible when you leave for vacation. Notify the newspaper delivery folks and others that you will be gone. Re-visit your “Fire exit” plan; will it work for any other disaster such as a neighborhood evacuation?

Making Sure Your Home is Properly For many people, their home is their greatest asset, so it is critical to avoid being underinsured. To protect your investment from disasters, homeowners should update their insurance regularly to include improvements, major purchases and increased rebuilding costs. To properly insure your home it is important to ask your Insurance agent four key questions.
1. Do I have enough insurance to rebuild my home? Your policy needs to cover the costs of rebuilding your home at current construction costs. – Replacement cost - Most policies cover replacement cost for damage to the structure. A replacement cost policy pays for the repair or replacement of damaged property with materials of similar kind and quality. – Extended Replacement Cost - This type of policy provides additional insurance coverage up to 50 percent over the limits in your policy, which could be critical if there is a widespread disaster that pushes up the cost of building materials and labor. – Flood Insurance - Standard home insurance policies provide coverage for disasters such as fire, lightning, and storms. They do not include flood. Flood insurance is available separately.
2. Do I have enough insurance to replace all of my possessions?
– Most homeowners’ insurance policies provide coverage of your personal possessions for approximately 50 to 70 percent of the amount of insurance you have on the structure of your home. The best way to determine if this enough coverage is to conduct a home inventory.
3. Do I have enough coverage for additional living expenses?
– Coverage for additional living expense differs from company to company. Some companies have time limits others are written at a percentage of the structure limits.
4. Do I have enough Insurance to protect my assets?
– It is also important to have adequate liability protection. This covers you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you, your family, or your pets may cause to others. Liability insurance pays for both the cost of defending you in court and for any damages a court rules you must pay, up to the limits of your policy. It is important to purchase enough liability insurance to protect your assets.

by Caras Nursery and Landscape 1. Fall is an ideal time to plant trees and shrubs. 2. Cover your roses in the fall with dirt, leaves or mulch. 3. Plant fall bulbs now to get flowers in the spring (tulips, daffodils, crocus, grape hyacinth, snow drop, dwarf iris and others). 4. Protect tree trunks against antler rubs in the fall. 5. Fertilize your lawn in early fall or early spring. 6. A favorite fall ripening apple is the MacIntosh. 7. Rake leaves and debris from the base of trees and shrubs to remove insects that overwinter in the debris. 8. Clean bird feeders and keep them full through the winter. 9. Plant mums and kale for late fall color. 10. Prepare for a living Christmas Tree in the fall – dig your hole before the frost sets in.

Bedroom Lighting Looking to romance the bedroom a bit? Rey-Barreau recommends wall-mounted picture lights. “These can be either permanently installed or they can be plugged into an outlet (with the wire concealed by a decorative cover),” he explains. “This type of lighting brings a high level of sophistication, and also creates a soft type of indirect light as it illuminates the painting or print.” Similarly, wall sconces on either side of the bed add a fresh visual element while performing double-duty as task lighting, according to Milicia. Decorative accents such as styles featuring hand-forged ironwork or textured forged leaves will bring a romantic, rustic flair to the space, she says. In sprucing up any room in your home consider how you use table lamps as well, Rey-Barreau says. “How many do you use in a room? What types? Table lamps can create a more diverse quality of light, and adding a few accent lamps in a room can really change the quality of a space,” he adds. No matter which room you choose to update, big differences at a modest price can be made by the careful selection of lighting. The most variety of fixtures and the most knowledgeable, trained design professionals can be found at Western Montana Lighting, member of the American Lighting Association.
