Covering construction costs by Connie Byers
A
RE YOU READY TO BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME IN THE FOUR CORNERS? After picking out the perfect plot of land, choosing a design and contracting a builder, how do you plan to pay for it? A standard mortgage requires collateral, usually the existing home, to back the loan. But when starting from scratch, the house doesn’t exist yet. Home construction loans are different from traditional mortgage loans. This type of loan is used to cover the cost of land, labor, building materials, permits and more. They are traditionally short-term and high-interest. Depending on the type of loan, homeowners may be able to convert it to a traditional mortgage after construction. The process for getting a home construction loan is similar to the standard mortgage process. In addition to underwriting the application, the lender will also need to vet the builder. There are different types of home construction loans.
HOME CONSTRUCTION LOANS
CONSTRUCTION-TO-PERMANENT LOAN Also known as a C2P loan, a one-step or single-close loan, the C2P loan automatically converts to a standard mortgage when construction is finished. A C2P loan has
10 WINTER 2024
drawbacks and advantages. One drawback is that the payment on a C2P loan may be higher than a standard mortgage. That’s because during construction the borrower typically only pays the interest. Once construction is complete, the loan is converted to a standard mortgage. Then payments are recast based on the amount of time remaining on the loan term. One of the advantages of a C2P loan is that you pay closing costs just once. Another advantage is that having a permanent loan secured means there is no question that you’ll be able to find a lender and loan when you’re ready. CONSTRUCTION-ONLY LOAN This is a short-term loan that funds only the home construction project. It allows individuals to borrow money and build a home. However, any closing costs and fees must be paid, then the loan must be paid completely once the construction is finished. Those without the cash on hand to do so will have to apply for a mortgage. Having separate construction and mortgage loans allows homebuilders to shop for the best terms available at the time for each loan. A primary disadvantage of the standalone construction loan is that individuals will pay two sets of closing costs, and likely more fees.
OTHER TYPES OF HOME CONSTRUCTION LOANS If renovating an existing home instead of building a new one, homeowners can apply for a home renovation construction loan. This type of loan lets users borrow against the expected value of the home after the renovations. Another option is a home equity line of credit also known as a HELOC, or a cash-out refinance. Lastly, if the borrower is the primary builder for the new home, they may qualify for an ownerbuild construction loan.
It’s always best to get finances in order before any project.
down payment requirement will be based on the cost of the land and planned construction. People who already own the land may be able to use it as equity for a construction loan. Remember that lenders will check the credit and credentials of the chosen builder as well. Most home construction lenders can recommend builders, and vice versa, so people who want to build can start the process at either end. It’s always best to get finances in order before any project. Do the research to compare loan rates, terms and down payment requirements.
STARTING THE PROCESS The initial steps of obtaining a construction loan are similar to buying an existing house. Develop the new home wish list, including locations and features. Then meet with builders to discuss the budget and obtain a pre-approval from a lender. Provide the lender with all of the same documentation as a regular mortgage loan, including employment history, identification, income verification and tax records. BUYING WITHIN A DEVELOPMENT The financing process will be very similar to buying an existing house when buying a home within a development. In most cases, the builder can arrange financing for potential homeowners. The main difference from a standard loan is that borrowers apply for the loan when they sign the contract with the builder, but terms are not finalized until the property is complete. STRONG CREDIT REQUIREMENTS Lenders consider construction loans higher risk. Therefore, they look for good credit and a healthy debt-to-income ratio. Borrowers will also need a downpayment of 20% to 25% on average. The specific

~ INTERIOR DESIGN ~
Give the living room a new vibe
A
N “OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW” MENTALITY CAN EXTEND TO PEOPLE’S VISIONS FOR THEIR HOMES. A home in need of repair or renovation can serve as a catalyst to take inventory of personal style and help make interior spaces reflect one’s unique vibe.
A living room can grow stale over time and often serves as a catch-call for clothing, blankets, gadgets, and other items. Upon recognizing a living room has seen better days, individuals may decide it’s time to give the space a new vibe. That transformation can start with these strategies.
ORGANIZE FIRST Clutter frequently is the culprit behind a living room that may not give off the vibe individuals desire. As families grow and people add belongings, space may be at a premium. Less is more has never been a more important concept. Remove extraneous items before purchasing new furniture or transitioning to a new design. You may even want to remove everything and start from scratch before reintroducing desirable elements to the space.
16 WINTER 2024
SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF PROFESSIONALS Some people are adept at decorating and designing spaces. But just as you wouldn’t perform your own medical procedures, you should leave jobs like interior design and renovations to the professionals. Hiring a professional interior designer and contractors can really bring a living room together in ways homeowners may have never imagined. These pros can build off of your ideas and truly create a space that may be worthy of a magazine spread.
LIGHT IT UP One of the easiest ways to transform a room’s vibe is to utilize lighting. Change draperies to allow more natural light to shine in. Consider additional windows or skylights if yours is a particularly dark home. If you desire to create a more vivid or cozy ambiance, use a combination of accent, task and supplemental lighting in the space so there are no dim corners.
PROMOTE WELLNESS You may want to consider adding natural materials in the design to promote well-being. Eco-friendly furnishings, raw fibers and organic textures will create an environment from sustainable choices. Plenty of plants also can create a welcoming environment that helps you surround yourself with positive energy and the items you love.
CREATE AN INDUSTRIAL OR URBAN VIBE Industrial-chic design celebrates the bones of a building. It’s what makes city lofts so appealing, with their exposed beams and brick. Even those who live in suburbia or out in the country can give a living room this look with subtle nods to the style. Unadorned windows, clean lines on furniture, oversized, gallery-style art, and metal accents can add touches of this popular look to your home.
Revamping a living room doesn’t have to be difficult. With an idea in place and some professional touches, an entirely new vibe can be achieved.

Insurance for emergencies
E
MERGENCIES, ESPECIALLY STORMS, CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND COSTLY DAMAGE TO HOMES. The right insurance is essential to help mitigate damage from storms and soften the financial blow that such destruction can cause. Not all insurance is the same, and additional policies and riders may help reduce the impact of emergencies. HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE Standard homeowners insurance policies will cover a wide range of issues. American Family Insurance says damage from wildfires, wind storms, tornadoes, ice storms, lightning strikes, hail, power surges, and fallen trees is included. But additional coverage may be needed to cover excessive damage. MATCHING SIDING COVERAGE Some homeowners may want to replace all of the siding on their homes if parts are damaged and color or siding materials cannot be matched exactly by patching up damaged areas. ROOF REPLACEMENT INSURANCE This insurance will be used to pay for the full replacement of a roof, minus the deductible, which may differ from what’s covered through standard homeowners policies. SUMP PUMP OVERFLOW INSURANCE Sump pumps are designed to engage and pump water out of basements and crawl spaces, helping to avoid flooding in the home. If the power goes out and the sump pump cannot work, or if the sump pump fails, homeowners typically are not
22 WINTER 2024
covered for any ensuing damage. Sump pump overflow insurance provides additional peace of mind and protection. FLOOD INSURANCE Homeowners insurance may not cover flood damage, especially if a home is in a flood zone. Flood insurance can bridge the gap of coverage. The National Flood Insurance Program offers building coverage and contents coverage policies. Building coverage will cover carpeting, electrical and plumbing systems, window blinds, foundation walls, and more. Contents coverage protects curtains, personal clothing and furniture, artwork, and appliances, among other things. UMBRELLA INSURANCE According to Geico, umbrella insurance is extra insurance that provides protection that goes beyond limitations and coverage of other policies. It can offer coverage for injuries to people staying at your house or renting your property, property damage, personal liability, and certain lawsuits. RENTERS INSURANCE Renters insurance protects renters, yet the Independent Insurance Adjusters & Brokers of America says almost two-thirds of residential lessees in the United States do not carry renters insurance. Renters insurance can protect belongings destroyed in a fire or weather event; provide assistance should someone be injured in your apartment; or it can protect you if you were found legally responsible for damages to someone’s property, according to State Farm Insurance. Many types of insurance can offer various levels of protection in emergency situations. An insurance representative can walk interested parties through the policies available to customize an insurance package that will offer sufficient protection against emergencies.
HERE FOR YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Whether you are in the planning stage of your dream pursuit or you’re looking to safeguard all that you’ve accomplished, I will meet you wherever you are in your journey.
Let’s talk about your plans, and how I can help you protect them.

personal touch transforms the bones of bricks and mortar into a functional living space. Beginning a home building project with a clear vision can turn vague inspiration into a welcoming space. Owners of HomeLogic Custom Homes, Jay and Lonna Larson, focus on guiding clients through the custom home building process, from beginning to end. As evidenced by HomeLogic craftsmanship and customer reviews, the couple takes incredible care to deliver cohesive exterior and interior designs that fulfill client desires. MEET THE LARSONS Before HomeLogic was established, Jay explored entrepreneurship by establishing a lawn care business in high school. It wasn’t long before his work ethic landed him jobs in the building and construction industry. Jay worked alongside both family members, and other contractors for a short time gaining hands-on experience. During that time, he developed a wide range of principle building skills to help him lead construction crews. As a former educator, Lonna brings a business-minded approach and imagination to designing spaces for HomeLogic clients. So while she is an organized and skillful communicator, she is also adept at using color, shape, space and texture to create functional interiors and eye-catching exteriors. Lonna also has experience with digital marketing, which comes in handy from time to time. A BUDDING BUSINESS The Larsons started HomeLogic together in 2015. With over three decades of experience in the industry, Jay has since grown the business to employ a team of more than 20 people. Each of the staff members possess specialized skills to address specific parts of the whole project, such as foundations and

”
framing; electrical and plumbing; exterior and interior finishing; cabinets and countertops; and the list goes on. HomeLogic handles a full-spectrum of design and construction services. After nearly a decade in business, the portfolio of projects highlights the care that goes into each project. Some of the firm’s earliest projects involved challenges restoring homes damaged or destroyed by flood or fire. Others required clever planning to adapt to the region’s rugged terrain or a resident’s mobility needs. In recent years, HomeLogic shifted to building new homes. “The last couple of years we’ve been highly sought after to build custom homes,” Lonna said. “HomeLogic can build any design. We’ve built homes as small as 1,800 square feet, and as large as 6,000 square feet-plus.” The owners also maintain good working relationships with many local businesses. From time to time,

HomeLogic collaborates with other regional experts for large-scale projects, too. In the past, the business worked alongside architects and engineers at Huff Architecture, MAST LLC and RA+A, to name a few. SHARP ATTENTION TO DETAIL “To build a great house, it starts with great people and great systems,” Jay said. “Great people, great systems, great design.” And attention to detail has elevated the business reputation. HomeLogic uses tools, such as BuilderTrend, for timelines, documentation, budget tracking and some communication. As hands-on project managers, Jay and Lonna communicate directly with clients via text, phone calls, email and even virtual meetings, as needed. “Our clients love that they are working directly with us,” Lonna said. “And we want to keep it that way.”
28 WINTER 2024
In order to provide the best customer service possible, they work closely with each client to ensure they are happy and comfortable with the space when the project is complete. “I direct decisions based on client input, mixed with current trends and design expertise,” she said. “At the end of a project the goal is that we have a custom design fit into a cohesive theme that is mirrored exterior and interior.” The couple has completed projects in popular neighborhoods, including Glacier Club, Dalton Ranch, Rafter J, Edgemont and Twin Buttes. The 3,500-square foot custom home in the Twin Buttes neighborhood for clients Andy and Tierny Lake pictured here, is a prime example of how the couple unites a skilled team of professionals to build a beautiful, and functional residence. “It always helps when the clients have really good taste,” Lonna said. “The home sits up quite high offering amazing views and curb appeal. It adds to the grandness of it.” A large staircase with concrete planter boxes leads to the front entry, and big windows provide an abundance of natural light. Inside, the home features beautiful French white oak wood floors with tongue and groove ceilings in the vaulted living space that were custom stained to match. It incorporates special amenities for the family, too, including a home gym, an office, two living spaces, multiple patios and decks with outdoor heaters and an oversized garage with room for an RV. “Most clients have an idea of what they want,” Lonna said. “But pulling it all together as far as tones and color, schemes, matching metals and the overall interior finishes can be overwhelming. So my job is to walk them through that process from the very beginning to the very end so that they can rest at ease, knowing that they are going to have a beautiful and well-put-together home.” HomeLogic is excited to tackle new challenges, and looking forward to the projects ahead. Currently, the team is working on a showstopping home with mountain-traditional inspired architecture at Glacier Club north of downtown Durango, and is excited to break ground on a large-scale project in Bayfield.

Upgrading interior doors
R
ENOVATION PROJECTS RUN THE GAMUT FROM PATIO PAVER INSTALLATIONS TO HOME ADDITIONS TO EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROJECTS. There’s no end to the ways homeowners can tweak their properties as they aspire to renovate and transform the interior and exterior of their homes. Interior door replacement projects can dramatically alter how a home looks, especially when existing doors are dated, damaged and/or fading. Though homeowners may have grand visions of a new kitchen or outdoor living room when beginning such projects, they may not know where to begin when the time comes to replace interior doors. The following rundown can help homeowners as they begin to explore their options and start down the path of replacing interior doors. MATERIALS Interior doors are manufactured from an array of materials, some of which may be more effective at reducing noise than others. Wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), solid-core, hollow-core, and even metal and glass are some of the materials categories for interior doors. Homeowners can define what they prioritize with each door and then choose the material that aligns best with that goal. INSTALLATION Installation costs are another variable to consider when replacing interior doors. If the frame of the door is being replaced along with the door, homeowners may benefit from utilizing a professional
installation team, as removing an existing frame and installing a new one is a complicated project. Prehung doors come ready to hang with hinges already attached, so skilled do-it-yourselfers may be able to hang these on their own. Installation costs can be expensive, but homeowners with little DIY experience are urged to work with professionals so a job can be completed correctly, on time and within budget. STYLE AND DESIGN Style and design merits consideration as well, and homeowners are urged to afford ample time to explore a wide array of options. Hinged doors, pocket doors, French doors and barn doors are just some of the styles homeowners can select, and it may make sense to choose various styles when replacing all or most interior doors in a home. Each type of door typically comes in an assortment of designs as well, and it can take time to choose the right design for a given home. HARDWARE Hardware such as doorknobs and locks is easy to take for granted. However, homeowners replacing their interior doors will need to make these choices when picking new doors. Standard hardware offerings may disappoint upon installation, so afford ample time to doorknobs and other hardware to ensure the finished product impresses from the get-go. Customization of hardware may add a little extra to the final cost, but it should not be enough to bust a budget and will likely result in a more impressive finished product.
Interior door replacement can create a whole new look inside a home. Homeowners are urged to afford themselves ample time to consider their many options when replacing interior doors. 30 WINTER 2024
Making a stylish grand entrance
A
GRAND ENTRYWAY SIMPLY WOULDN’T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT AN IMPRESSIVE FRONT DOOR. A front door can dazzle guests and create a homeowner’s desired vibe before anyone even steps inside, which only underscores how important the choice of door style can be. When shopping around for a new front door for their homes, homeowners can consider the many popular styles as they seek to choose one that fits an existing scheme or use a new front door as a springboard to a redesigned home interior. FARMHOUSE: Farmhouse doors are not all one and the same. Traditional farmhouse doors provide a rustic look that’s become popular in home decor over the last decade or so. Modern farmhouse doors are a little less rustic because they incorporate more contemporary elements into their design. Each option is ideal for homeowners who aspire to create a farmhouse vibe in their home interiors and exteriors. n
MODERN: Modern front doors tend to boast a bold look and many are made up of large glass panels. Some homeowners prefer modern front doors because the glass in them allows lots of natural light into their home’s interior. The added light in the entryway appeals to homeowners who want to brighten up these spaces, which tend to be dark in homes with more traditional doors. n
TRADITIONAL: Traditional front doors may be the most recognizable to today’s homeowners. Often solid wood but sometimes enhanced with glass, traditional doors may feature subtle, yet ornate designs. Traditional front doors might feel out of place in modern or rustic homes, so they’re generally best suited to homes with owners that prefer more traditional decor inside their homes. n
CUSTOM: It’s important that homeowners recognize they need not pigeonhole themselves into a particular design style for their front doors. Custom front doors may be costly, but many door manufacturers or contractors customize front doors. Custom doors may suit homeowners’ with unique ideas about decor, and some can even mimic other popular styles while still featuring subtle differences. For example, homeowners can request an arched double door that, while unique, features many of the same qualities that characterize traditional doors, including ornate designs. n
A front door can greatly influence the first impression people get of a home. That makes it worth homeowners’ time and effort to explore the many different front door styles now available.

Pioneers of sustainable design by Benjamin Brewer
R
eynolds Ash + Associates (RA+A) is an architectural and engineering firm with expertise that spans a broad spectrum, encompassing architectural services, structural engineering, building, land planning and interior design. Established in 2002 by Tracy Reynolds, the firm stands out in architecture for its innovative designs and profound understanding of the architect-client relationship. Though the firm is large for its service area, it had humble beginnings when Reynolds decided to start it over 20 years ago. “I moved out here in 1997,” Reynolds said. “I joined a firm called RMBA Architects but eventually decided to strike it out on my own.” Reynolds, a licensed architect and structural engineer, was later joined by partners Brad
32 WINTER 2024
Ash in 2015 and Elizabeth Boone in 2017, who bring unique skill sets and vision to the firm. Reynold’s journey in Southwest Colorado would come full circle when RA+A later merged with RMBA Architects, Reynold’s old outfit, in 2022. RA+A has grown from one employee to 23, with offices in Phoenix, Alamosa, Pagosa and Durango. Today, the group takes on 200-300 projects yearly, ranging from commercial to residential developments and remodels. “We’ve done everything from remodels to new construction, to very large custom homes.” Boone said. Much of this work can be seen in Durango and Pagosa Springs, like the in-progress $45 million Miller Middle School project on Junction Street

in Durango or the now-finished Durango Fire and Rescue Station #3 on County Road 251. With each project, RA+A champions a philosophy of design and efficiency, seamlessly integrating aesthetics with functional pragmatism to create visually stunning and operationally effective spaces. RA+A also harnesses the power of location in its designs, leveraging an understanding of its clientele in Southwest Colorado, the materials available and the climate to build long-lasting, sustainable developments. “There are architects in the area that only design in one style,” Reynolds said. “We’re different in always trying to work with the client’s expectations to deliver multiple options.” This approach has earned the firm a stellar reputation and fostered long-standing relationships with clients. The backbone of RA+A’s success relies on its team’s collective experience and expertise. The firm has demonstrated its ability to deliver logical, efficient and cost-effective solutions. Each project undertaken by RA+A is unique, with success hinging on effective communication
with clients and facility users. The firm boasts the expertise of two LEED Accredited Professionals, further solidifying its commitment to sustainable building practices. The company’s commitment to knowledgeable and expert design has also made it easy for them to expand into new markets, as evidenced by its new offices in Alamosa and Phoenix. This strategic balance between growth in new markets and nurturing existing relationships is pivotal to RA+A’s success. The company’s expansion into Alamosa and Phoenix reflects a forward-looking vision, while its dedication to local clients and community underscores a deeprooted commitment to its roots. RA+A builds structures and fortifies the foundations of lasting partnerships and community connections.
“We certainly want to continue to grow in the new markets that we have moved into,” Boone said. “But we also want to foster our existing relationships with our local clients and the community we serve.” WWW.FOURCORNERSREALESTATE.COM

Symptoms of plumbing problems
T
HE DRIP OF A FAUCET, the bang of pipes and the visible signs of a leak under the sink are some notable indicators of plumbing problems. Other, potentially serious issues may not be so evident. How can homeowners tell if they have potential plumbing problems? The following are some sights and sounds that indicate it is time to call in a plumber. BANGING OR CLANKING: Plumbers refer to these noises as water hammer. This is when a rush of water forces through the pipe and bumps into a closed valve, producing a metallic noise. Something is in the pipe that is restricting water flow. Over time, the flow of water meeting an obstacle could loosen pipe joints as the water tries to find an easier workaround. n
PIPE DISCOLORATION: If there is any sign of discoloration on pipes, particularly rust, it could be a symptom of a dripping sink or drain line that is slowly leaking. A slow leak can eventually turn into a big mess if left unattended. n
SEWER SMELLS: Pipes need traps and vents. Traps are designed to prevent sewer gas from entering the home, while vents channel sewer odor up to the roof. If there are sewer smells, it could mean a trap has dried out or a vent line is cracked, says Family Handyman. n
LOW WATER PRESSURE: If you turn on the faucet and the water pressure is poor, it could be the result of a clog or a leak somewhere in the system. Pipes that are improperly sized for a home also can affect pressure. n
SLUGGISH DRAINS: Clearing drains is perhaps the only plumbing problem that homeowners should address themselves. More often than not, drains that fail to drain quickly have a blockage such as hair or other debris. If attempts to clear the drain do not work, it is best to bring in a professional plumber. n
SHAKING SOUNDS: Water can cause occasional noises, but if the sounds are frequent, the pipes are not secured firmly enough. A plumber will need to tighten the mounting straps or even completely replace them. n
Plumbing issues are nothing to take lightly, as small problems can quickly escalate and cause thousands of dollars in damage. 36 WINTER 2024
