What’s new in refrigerators?

Fabulous new fridge features abound

By David M. Brown

W

e spoke with some experts to get the scoop on what to look for and questions to ask your new-home builder about your refrigerator options.

Lots of new features Multi-featured units are available in refrigerator and freezer columns as well as bottom-freezer French-door configurations.

Whirlpool® refrigerators, for example, have options such as the Infinity Slide Shelf so you can place small snacks on the side and large items in the center; an adjustable center pane slides back and stops at any point to give you the room you need, said Katie Capone, brand manager, Whirlpool Brand, a division of Whirlpool Corporation.

The company’s Frameless Glass Shelves option allows wall-to-wall storage, while the In-Door-Ice Storage feature adds a full shelf in the freezer by moving the ice bin to the door. Meanwhile, TotalCoverage cooling keeps every shelf cold by means of chilled air from multiple vents to all shelves and corners.

“At Bosch, new freestanding Frenchdoor bottom-mount refrigerators offer the premium look of a built-in model in a freestanding format; the 24-inch-deep cavity sits at true counter-depth for a flawless fit alongside kitchen cabinetry and countertops,” said Anja Prescher, director of brand marketing at Bosch Home Appliances.

Bosch Home Appliances

• Bosch Home Appliances

They can also customize temperature and humidity settings as well as run diagnostics and coordinate solutions away from home,” Prescher said, adding that if the refrigerator door is left open, the Home Connect app will alert you.

For Whirlpool, four- and five-drawer refrigerators are new. “Having your crispers or deli drawer with its own dedicated drawer allows for better organization and easy access to items,” Capone said.

The company also offers new finishes such as black stainless steel and finger-print-resistant stainless steel, which are sleek, durable and easy to clean. “Like traditional stainless steel, these finishes are expected to have staying power and will not go out of style any time soon,” Capone said.

•

•

• What to ask your builder Capone and Prescher offered a few comments and suggestions for what to ask your builder: • If your builder is only showing standard-depth refrigerators but you

•

find the counter-depth look more appealing, ask them about adding an additional model option.

Pick out your refrigerator model first then choose your surrounding cabinets.

Do you want a top-freezer, bottom-freezer or side-by-side?

What are your space needs?

Some people prefer the convenience of being able to get ice or water without opening the refrigerator door, while others want the ice-maker hidden away on the interior.

What direction should the door (or doors) swing? Some refrigerators come with reversible doors; others are left-swing or right-swing only.

What features are you looking for?

French-door, built-in, ENERGY STAR®-certified, connectivity?

Cool fridge phrases To make an informed choice for your new kitchen, it’s helpful to be familiar with basic fridge phrases:

Standard-depth: This term reflects the dimensions of most full-size refrigerators, but this fit can result in a small protrusion of the appliance into the kitchen space.

Counter-depth: This describes refrigerators that are on average four inches shallower in depth than standard ones. This allows the refrigerator to line up with the surrounding cabinets and countertops giving you a more high-end look without the expensive price-tag of a built-in.

Smartness abounds These new refrigerators not only look smart, many of them ARE smart. For example: “Consumers can remotely monitor and control their Bosch refrigerator right from the app in their smart device.

Built-in: Refrigerators that are installed either completely flush or framed with kitchen cabinetry.

Extended-height: Most refrigerators are 69 inches or less in height aligning with most standard cabinets. However, if your cabinetry allows, refrigerators can be as tall as 72 inches, providing greater capacity. – Adapted from information provided by Whirlpool and Bosch Getty Images

Closetful of options Picture-perfect closets can spruce-up your new home

I

By Debra Gelbart

t may seem counter-intuitive, but the first thing you need to do when considering what kind of closet you want in your brand-new home is “get rid of your stuff.” That’s the advice of Bob LeSueur, owner of Classy Closets in Chandler. “Nowadays, there are all kinds of systems out there to organize your possessions,” he said. “However you do it, you’ve got to pare down what would go into a closet to the items you’ll use the most.”

LeSueur, whose company has a presence in the design studios of several local homebuilders, recommends that a master bedroom closet be designed around your day-to-day wardrobe. “It’s different for every person,” he said. “Whether it’s mostly t-shirts, lots of shorts, long dresses, short dresses — it’s personalized and unique.”

Yet, said design consultant Paul Osmussen of Space Solutions Home Storage Systems in Phoenix, several design elements may work for almost everyone.

“I generally like to plant a drawer-bank or a double-drawer-bank opposite the entry on the back wall if possible,” he said.

His company works with a number of production and custom-home builders.

Configuration options Before you select a design for the closet, LeSueur said, you’ll need to consider how many pairs of shoes you have and how many hanging rods you’ll want for short-hanging items like shirts/blouses and for longer-hanging items like dresses or robes. Closets also can have mediumhang rods for long pants, for instance.

Some people like drawers, others prefer hangers for their t-shirts or other tops, he

added. That will also determine how the closet is configured.

LeSueur said Classy Closets’ representation in homebuilders’ design centers is extensive. “Homebuyers are going to see three or four closet designs for every floor plan in every community,” he said. “You can move the shelves around or you can pull out the shelves and put rods in if you prefer. It’s a very adjustable system that allows the buyer to meet their needs.”

It’s an advantage to be able to see the functionality of a closet design displayed in a model home and then made available through the builder instead of having to try to picture a specific closet design after you move into your new home, LeSueur said. By selecting a closet design you know will work for you before you move in, you’ll avoid the hassle of installation at a later date, he pointed out.

Most popular features Lighting within the shelving and behind glass doors within the cabinetry is an often-requested feature, LeSueur said.

“We get orders for lots of glass shelving and doors and lots of lighting along with three-way mirrors and jewelry drawers,” he said. Most drawers that are installed are soft-close so they’re soundless when they close. The core-boards that comprise the closet itself are now often covered in a textured laminate with a linen-like finish rather than being built without any finish, he said.

A tilt-out hamper can be placed at the bottom of a shoe-shelving section, Osmussen said, noting that other common accessories include a valet rod, belt rack, tie rack, slide-out baskets and ironing stations.

Pricing Typically, closet systems purchased through a design center start at about $1,500. A master closet in that price range would include shelving and hanging in a nine-by-nine-foot size, LeSueur said.

Adding square-footage, drawers and other features would cost more.

“White will always save you about 15 percent over any wood grain color as far as melamine shelving is concerned,” Osmussen said. You can also save money by forgoing finished decorative backing on the back wall obscured by hanging clothes and simply painting that wall, he said. “You can save up to $500 that way depending on the size of the closet.”

Q

What is a bill of lading and why is it important to a new-home owner who is using a professional moving company to move into their new home?

A

A bill of lading is the customer’s receipt for their goods and the contract for their transportation. It is important because the customer’s signature on the bill of lading acknowledges that their household goods can be loaded on the van and released to the mover.

Q A

What are non-allowable items?

Moving companies will provide customers with a checklist of items movers will not move. Restricted items may vary but generally movers will not transport hazardous items including explosives, flammable gases and toxic substances. In most cases they also cannot transport perishable items.

Q A

What is a binding estimate?

A binding estimate is a written agreement made in advance with the mover. It guarantees the total cost of the move based upon the quantities and services shown on the estimate.

Q A

What is Full Value Protection (FVP)?

Full Value Protection (FVP) is the most comprehensive option available for the protection of customers’ goods. If any article is lost, destroyed or damaged while in the mover’s custody, the mover will, at its option, either: repair the article to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition as when it was received by the mover or pay the customer for the cost of such repairs; replace the article with an article of like kind; or pay the customer for the cost of a replacement article at the current market replacement value regardless of the age of the article.

Ask the mover for the details and cost of the company’s specific plan.

HO-6, Condo Homeowners Insurance

Keypads, key-fobs At the entrance to a community, you’ll often find a gate that’s activated by a code residents input on a keypad.

Newcombe said that buyers of many new condos are given a key-fob for use at the entrance to the building where their unit is located, at the entrance to all community facilities (such as the clubhouse and gym) and to gain access to any elevators. Indeed, at Optima Kierland, the parking garage and other entry doors can all be accessed with key-fobs that only residents have, Vogel said.

Q A

What is HO-6 condo insurance?

HO-6 is home insurance for owners of co-ops or condominiums. It provides personal property coverage, liability coverage and specific coverage of improvements to the owner’s unit.

Typically, the owner’s condo or co-op association provides insurance that covers the outside of the dwelling.

The bottom line If you’re purchasing a new condo, be sure to ask the builder, developer and/or sales team about the security features that come with your purchase.

Q A

What exactly does it cover?

An HO-6 policy will cover interior damage to your unit, improvements, additions and alterations you’ve made and your personal property. Additional living expenses, if your residence is not able to be lived in due to a covered peril, is usually also included. The condo association’s policy typically covers the outside building structure and common areas such as hallways.

Q A

What does it not cover?

Like a lot of insurance policies, condo insurance often will not cover water damage from flooding.

So even though we live in a desert, you may want to purchase additional flood insurance. If you own a condo you use as a winter home or that sits vacant for longer than a month, your HO-6 condo policy might not cover damage claims. Finally, if you rent out your condo from time to time you should consider purchasing landlord insurance to protect your property and the stuff you own. Your HO-6 condo policy won’t cover damages made by renters.

Q

What is the major difference between an HO-6 policy and a standard homeowners’ insurance policy?

A

Condominium insurance has more similarities to renters’ insurance than a homeowners’ insurance policy. It is designed to only protect you and the stuff you own as well as improvements you have made within the interior of the walls. A homeowners’ policy is more comprehensive in nature and insures the home and broad-named peril coverage on your contents.

“Our buyers enjoy the opportunities for outdoor living that are limited in other regions.”

—Steve Berry, Robson Resort Communities

Janicek [of Maracay] said that newhome buyers should decide which outdoor features they want before their home is built. “It’s best to make any decision that will affect the overall structure and plan of the home at the outset,” she said, noting that this will most likely save time and headaches in the end.

can incorporate outdoor design costs into the mortgage, but more importantly, the process is complete upon move-in and there’s no need to focus on scheduling and researching companies on your own.”

Indoor/outdoor living in a condo

Budget considerations It’s easier and more cost-effective to build major water, spa and outdoor kitchen spaces during the construction process, Rosinski [of Toll Brothers] said. “Even including plumbing and electrical for later additions that a buyer is considering could save on costs,” he said.

Looney [of Shea Homes] said that outdoor living is a new experience for many buyers and it’s vital to understand how they want to live in the space right away as well as into the future. Plus: “You

What you should think about when designing and purchasing your new home

“E

ven if accessibility isn’t a huge concern for you today, there are simple considerations you can make when designing or selecting your home to ensure it meets your needs for years to come,” said Dalaine Whitlock, marketing project manager for the resort-style community of Wickenburg Ranch, located an hour northwest of Phoenix.

Customization options Accessibility features and options vary by builder, but for example, at Wickenburg Ranch, CS Edmunds Homes offers semicustom homes with options such as wide hallways and doorways, zero-step entries, comfort-height toilets, grab-bars and custom seating in the shower and bath areas.

“Universal design is not, as some would think, strictly for the elderly or disabled. The concept of universal design is to make living- and work-spaces equally comfortable, safe and accessible for all regardless of height or physical ability. These ideas might help make a home safer for an older resident, but they’re pretty smart for homeowners of all ages.”

Cachet Homes

In addition, new-home buyers can choose to customize closets and storage areas by adding custom fixtures and lighting, custom cabinetry and vanities, and no-step transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces. “In this way, your home lives exactly as you need it,” Whitlock said.

A few descriptions of universal design features Easy on the hands: Particularly leverstyle hardware Friendly floors: Slip-resistant; elimination of trip-points Good lighting: Entryways are especially dangerous if not well-lit

“Age in Place” Cachet Homes is building two communities in the Valley of the Sun with its “Age in Place” series floorplans.

They are Monterey Ridge near Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101 and Cachet at The Wigwam in Litchfield Park, said Sue Goodrich, vice president of sales and marketing for the Scottsdale-based homebuilder.

Included features in one or both communities are: • Elevators • Oversized hallways • Removable cabinetry areas at vanities and kitchens for easy wheelchair access if needed

Better bathrooms: Grab-bars; step-in showers; hand-held showerheads

home or away,” Goodrich said.

“An ‘accessible unit’ could also be constructed in a different unit in these communities,” she said. “In our other single-family communities, these items could be added to the home at the buyer’s request.”

Questions to ask your builder Whitlock advises new-home buyers to ask about color, windows and fixtures.

“Contrasting wall colors allow for better visibility when searching for that outlet or light switch, while windows with cranks allow users to open windows independently,” she said, adding prospective buyers should also ask builders if they can lower items such as light switches, thermostats and security panels so they are more easily accessible.

Goodrich agrees, noting that it’s best to discuss the accessibility changes you want to make before construction begins and what those will cost. “It’s always better to construct the home with these in place rather than retrofit a completed home,” she said.

Luna Azul

Accessible communities It’s a growing trend: offering accessibility features in all types of homes and for all types of residents. But what about an accessible community? Luna Azul is a 4.5-acre single-family-home gated community, the nation’s first to offer adults with disabilities the opportunity to live independently or with family members and caregivers and to have the financial benefit of homeownership, according to Mark Roth, founder and developer of Luna Azul.

Located just south of the Loop 101 and 16th Street in Phoenix, Luna Azul offers 30 two- and three-bedroom cottages with numerous accessibility features including wide doorways with zero-step thresholds, wide hallways and single-lever door-handles in place of traditional knobs.
