The Coastal Modern Kitchen: Bringing the Spring Light In

The Coastal Modern Kitchen: Bringing the Spring Light In

There is a specific moment in April across Hampton Roads and over in Cape Charles when the light changes. The heavy winter gray finally lifts, and suddenly the sun is reflecting off the Bay and flooding into our homes.

In a coastal home , the kitchen isn't just a place to prepare meals, it is the headquarters for summer hosting, sandy-foot lunches, and morning coffee with a view. However, many older homes in our area were not built to embrace this light, they were built with walled-off rooms and small windows that keep the beauty of Virginia Beach at arm's length.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we believe in High-Performance Living. To us, that means a kitchen that doesn’t just look like a magazine cover, but one that breathes, flows, and captures every ounce of that spring sunshine.

The Anatomy of a Light-Filled Kitchen

How do we take a standard kitchen and transform it into a coastal modern masterpiece? It starts with the "Envelope", that is the walls, windows, and doors that connect you to the outdoors.

The Indoor-Outdoor Pass-Through: One of our favorite trends for 2026 is the over-the-sink accordion window. Imagine prepping dinner while chatting with guests on the deck through a window that completely disappears. It turns your kitchen into a seasonal pavilion.
The Reflective Palette: We are seeing a shift away from the high-contrast all-white kitchens of the past. Instead, we’re leaning into warm white oak cabinetry and honed mineral surfaces. These natural textures don't just look beachy, they physically catch and soften the sunlight, making the room feel glowy rather than sterile.
Vaulted Transitions & Transoms: If your kitchen feels boxed in, our structural team looks for ways to open the ceiling or add transom windows above your cabinetry. It’s an expert touch that makes even a modest footprint feel massive by drawing the eye upward.

Design with Certainty: The 3D Difference

We know that a kitchen remodel is a significant investment, and it can be hard to visualize how a new layout will actually feel in your home. That’s why we utilize custom 3D rendering technology for every project.

Before a single cabinet is removed, we walk you through a digital version of your new kitchen. You’ll be able to see exactly how the light from your new windows hits the island, ensure your favorite barstools fit perfectly, and feel confident that the flow between the fridge and the pantry works for your family’s morning routine. We don't just give you an estimate, we give you a vision you can trust.

Built for the Shore (and for Life)

Living near the water in places like Bay Creek or along Shore Drive means your kitchen needs to be "Coastal Tough”. In our Design-to-Communication process, we prioritize materials that thrive in our unique climate :

High-Performance Flooring: We recommend luxury porcelain tile or advanced LVP that can handle wet swimsuits, tracked-in sand, and the high traffic of a summer reunion.
Seamless Integration: 2026 is the year of the hidden kitchen. We specialize in panel-ready appliances that blend into your cabinetry, creating a quiet, sophisticated look that feels more like a living space and less like a utility zone.

Why April is the Golden Window for Remodeling

We pride ourselves on honesty and realistic timelines. If you want to be hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas in a brand-new, light-filled kitchen, the planning needs to happen now.

April is the ideal time to start because it allows us to navigate the permits process while the weather is mild. It also gives us the lead time necessary to secure high-end, custom materials so that by the time summer fades, your home is ready for its grand debut.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

At K.M. Cash Construction , we don't just "flip" kitchens. Our K.M. Cash team builds with a sense of pride and accountability. We treat every home as if it were our own, maintaining a clean job site and providing constant communication so you’re never left wondering about the status of your dream.

March Maintenance: The 5-Point Post-Winter Structural Checkup

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 06:27:06 GMT

March Maintenance: The 5-Point Post-Winter Structural Checkup

As the March winds begin to shift and the first signs of spring emerge across Hampton Roads, it’s easy to focus solely on landscaping and curb appeal. However, here in Virginia, the transition from freezing winter nights to humid spring days can take a hidden toll on your home’s bones. The freeze-thaw cycle is notorious for expanding small cracks into costly structural issues.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we believe that a home is only as beautiful as it is sound. March is the perfect bridge month to step outside, assess how your property weathered the winter, and ensure your foundation is ready for the heavy spring rains ahead.

Here is our 5-point structural checkup to keep your home healthy and secure for 2026.

1. Evaluate Grading and Foundation Drainage

Winter snow and ice melt can saturate the soil around your home, leading to hydrostatic pressure against your foundation. Walk around your perimeter and look for:

Low Spots: Areas where the soil has settled or dipped near the foundation.
Reverse Grading: Ground that slopes toward your home rather than away.
Standing Water: Puddles that linger more than 24 hours after a rain.

Ensuring water flows away from your home is the #1 way to prevent foundation cracks and basement dampness.

2. Inspect the "Envelope" for Moisture Traps

High winds and winter storms can loosen siding or damage the sealants around your home’s exterior. If you have 'winterized' your home well you should expect little issues with your siding, trim, and window casings, but it is still important check for:

Soft Spots: Press on wood trim to check for rot caused by trapped winter moisture.
Popped Nails: Siding that has buckled or pulled away during temperature shifts.
Cracked Caulking: Dry winter air often causes caulk to shrink and pull away, creating an entry point for spring pests and rain.

3. Clear and Calibrate the Gutter System

You likely cleared your gutters in the fall, but winter debris, twigs, shingle grit, and salt, can create new clogs. March is the time to:

Check Downspout Extensions: Ensure they are still attached and directing water at least 5-10 feet away from the foundation.
Look for Sagging: Heavy ice loads over the winter can bend gutter hangers, causing water to overflow rather than drain.
Verify Pitch: Ensure the gutters are still tilted toward the downspouts so water doesn't sit stagnant.

4. Examine the Roof and Attic Space

You don't always need a ladder to spot winter damage. Use binoculars to check your roof for missing shingles or damaged flashing around chimneys and vents. Then, head up to the attic to look for:

Daylight Peeking Through: A sign of a structural gap or missing shingle.
Water Stains: Even small yellow or brown spots on the underside of the roof deck indicate a slow leak that will worsen with April showers.
Compressed Insulation: If winter leaks occurred, damp insulation loses its R-value and can lead to mold growth.

5. Check Decks and Outdoor Structures

Before you fire up the grill for the first time this season, inspect the structural integrity of your outdoor living spaces . Winter moisture is the enemy of wood and masonry.

Check Joists and Hangers: Look for rust on metal connectors or wood rot where the deck meets the house.
Inspect Masonry: Check brick steps or crawl space entries for spalling (where the face of the brick or mortar flakes off due to freezing).
Test the Railings: Ensure they haven't loosened during winter storms.

Plan Ahead for Your 2026 Projects

March is also the strategic time to begin planning larger structural upgrades or renovations. Whether you are considering a new addition, a reinforced deck, or a complete exterior refresh, whatever the new project is, starting the conversation now ensures your project is on the books before the summer rush.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we specialize in high-quality builds that stand the test of time and weather. From routine structural guidance to major custom construction, we are your partners in building a home that is as safe as it is stunning.

New Year, New View: Why January is the Best Time to Design Your Custom Home

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 01:11:15 GMT

New Year, New View: Why January is the Best Time to Design Your Custom Home

As the calendar turns to January, many of us find ourselves reflecting on the year behind us and setting intentions for the year ahead. It’s the season of fresh starts, new resolutions, and the "Dream Phase". That exciting time when you begin to imagine what your life could look like in a home built specifically for you.

While winter might feel like a quiet time for the construction industry, it is actually the most strategic month to start your custom home journey. At K.M. Cash Construction , we believe that a successful build doesn't start with a hammer and nails; it starts with a clear vision and a well-crafted plan.

Here is why January is the perfect time to turn your New Year dreams into a New View.

1. Get Ahead of the Spring Rush

Spring is typically the busiest time for the construction industry in the Hampton Roads area. By starting your design process in January, you beat the seasonal rush.

Securing your place on the calendar now ensures that while others are just beginning to look for a builder in April, your permits will already be in hand, your materials will be ordered, and your project will be at the front of the line. Early planning means a smoother transition into the construction phase as soon as the weather warms up.

2. Visualize with 3D Rendering Technology

One of the most common hurdles in the "Dream Phase" is the difficulty of translating a flat floor plan into a lived-in reality. At KM Cash Construction, we eliminate that guesswork with our custom 3D rendering technology.

January is the ideal time to spend a few cozy afternoons at our design office. You can "walk through" your future kitchen, see how the morning light will hit your living room, and experiment with different finishes, all in near-real detail long before construction starts. This technology gives you the confidence to make decisions without the pressure of a fast-moving construction site.

3. Thoughtful Design Without the Rush

A custom home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make, and the design shouldn’t be rushed. The quiet energy of January allows for a slower, more intentional pace. You have the time to:

Evaluate your lifestyle: Does your current layout work for your morning routine?
Prioritize needs vs. wants: Do you need that extra guest suite or a more expansive home office?
Explore Energy Efficiency: We specialize in 2026 energy-efficient standards , and winter is the best time to discuss how a tight building envelope can save you money on heating and cooling for years to come.

4. Financial Foresight and Accurate Budgeting

Starting in January gives our estimation team the time to provide a complete cost analysis of your proposed plan. With market prices for materials often fluctuating, early planning allows us to lock in selections and create a realistic budget that respects your financial goals. Whether you are building a coastal retreat in Cape Charles or a family estate in Virginia Beach, having a clear financial roadmap is the best way to start the year with peace of mind.

5. A Seamless "Design to Dirt" Timeline

The process of building a custom home typically involves six key steps:

Initial Consultation
2D & 3D Model Design
Construction Agreement & Budgeting
Material Selection
The Construction Stage
Welcome Home

By starting Step 1 this January, you align your timeline so that the most intensive construction phases happen during the long, dry days of summer. This efficiency minimizes weather-related delays and ensures you are moving into your new home as quickly as possible.

2026 Energy-Efficient Standards Every New Build Should Meet

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:15:00 GMT

2026 Energy-Efficient Standards Every New Build Should Meet

Building a new home is an exciting opportunity, not just to create a space tailored to your lifestyle, but to invest in long-term comfort, performance, and savings. As we head into 2026, energy-efficient building standards are more important than ever. Today’s new homes aren’t just designed to look beautiful, they’re engineered to be smarter, healthier, and dramatically more efficient than the homes of the past.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we specialize in crafting high-quality custom homes throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the surrounding areas. When it comes to energy efficiency, we build every home with the future in mind. If you’re planning a new build in 2026, here are the key efficiency standards your home should meet.

1. High-Performance HVAC Systems

Your HVAC system is the heart of your home’s comfort and one of the most significant contributors to energy use. In 2026, high-performance HVAC isn’t optional, it’s the standard.

We help homeowners choose:

High-efficiency heat pumps (ideal for Virginia’s climate)
Variable-speed HVAC systems for precise temperature control
Smart thermostats for better energy management
Properly sized equipment to avoid waste and improve comfort

These systems don’t just save energy, they keep your home consistently comfortable year-round.

2. Advanced Wall Systems for Better Efficiency

The walls of your home play a major role in its overall performance. Advanced wall systems help keep conditioned air inside, reduce outside noise, and improve structural durability.

Today’s top options include:

Advanced framing techniques that minimize thermal bridges
Structural insulated panels (SIPs)
High-performance sheathing with built-in moisture barriers
Continuous exterior insulation for superior thermal protection

These wall systems create a tighter, more energy-efficient building envelope critical for both hot summers and cool coastal winds.

3. Upgraded Insulation Standards Throughout the Home

Insulation standards have evolved significantly, and new builds in 2026 should meet or exceed modern requirements.

We recommend:

R-49 insulation in attics for maximum heat retention
Mineral wool or spray foam in walls for improved sound and thermal control
Insulated crawl spaces and basements to reduce humidity and energy loss
Air sealing throughout the home to eliminate drafts

Better insulation means lower energy costs and a more comfortable home in every season.

4. High-Performance Window Ratings

Windows are one of the most important components of an energy-efficient home, especially in coastal and high-sunlight areas like Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads.

For 2026 builds, we encourage:

Low-E coated glass for UV protection and reduced heat gain
Double or triple-pane windows for insulation
Impact-rated options for coastal resilience
ENERGY STAR® certified windows with top-tier U-Factor and SHGC ratings

These windows help keep heat out in the summer, warmth in during the winter, and your energy bills lower year-round.

5. Solar-Ready Home Design

Even if you’re not planning to install solar panels right away, building your home solar-ready keeps this option open for any future changes, ensuring a seamless transition.

We design solar-ready homes with:

Roof space optimized for south-facing panels
Conduit runs for future solar wiring
Electrical panels sized for additional load
Proper structural reinforcement for panel weight

This forward-thinking approach helps homeowners transition to renewable energy without costly retrofits.

6. Built-In EV Charging Prep

Electric vehicle ownership continues to rise, and preparing your home for EV charging during construction is one of the smartest investments you can make.

We integrate:

Dedicated 240V outlets in garages
Upgraded electrical panels for future EV loads
Conduit installation for wall-mounted charging stations
Strategic placement to allow multi-car charging if needed

Adding EV infrastructure during the build phase saves time, money, and hassle later.

Building the Future, One High-Performance Home at a Time

At K.M. Cash Construction , we believe energy efficiency isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a foundation for better living. We build custom homes that are beautiful, durable, and designed to meet the highest performance standards of 2026 and beyond.

From advanced HVAC systems to solar-ready roofing and smart insulation, our team guides you through every option to help you build a home that’s comfortable, cost-effective, and crafted for the future.

How to Winterize Your Home Before the Cold Sets In

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:00:25 GMT

How to Winterize Your Home Before the Cold Sets In

With October in full swing across Hampton Roads, now is the perfect time for homeowners to start preparing their homes for the colder months ahead. Winterizing isn’t just about staying warm—it’s about making your home more comfortable, energy-efficient, and protected from seasonal wear and tear. By planning ahead, you can tackle everything from sealing drafts and upgrading insulation to servicing your heating system before the chill sets in.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we help homeowners create homes that are cozy, efficient, and ready for winter. Our team is here to guide you through every step, from simple seasonal maintenance to larger construction projects that improve comfort and energy efficiency.

1. Inspect and Seal Windows and Doors

Drafty windows and doors are one of the main culprits of heat loss in the winter. Check for gaps, cracks, or worn weatherstripping, and consider:

Replacing old weatherstripping
Caulking gaps around window frames
Installing storm windows or energy-efficient replacements

Proper sealing keeps warm air inside, reduces heating costs, and makes your home feel more comfortable all season long.

2. Upgrade Your Insulation

Good insulation is key to maintaining a cozy home. Focus on:

Attics and roofs – Adding or upgrading insulation prevents heat from escaping.
Walls – Consider blown-in insulation or modern options if you’re planning construction upgrades.
Floors and basements – Cold floors can make a home feel drafty; insulation or area rugs help keep spaces warm.

Even small improvements in insulation can make a noticeable difference in comfort and energy efficiency.

3. Service Your Heating System

Before winter fully sets in, have your furnace, boiler, or heat pump professionally inspected. Proper maintenance ensures:

Efficient operation and lower energy costs
Fewer breakdowns during peak winter months
Clean, safe operation for your household

Don’t forget to change or clean filters—this simple step can improve both air quality and system performance.

4. Protect Your Plumbing

Frozen pipes can cause costly damage. Take precautions by:

Insulating exposed pipes in basements, attics, or crawl spaces
Dripping faucets during extremely cold nights to prevent freezing
Shutting off and draining outdoor spigots if not in use

Proper preparation now can prevent expensive emergency repairs later.

5. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters

Winter storms can be hard on your home if your roof and gutters aren’t ready. Be sure to:

Remove debris from gutters to prevent ice dams
Check for missing or damaged shingles
Ensure flashing and roof seals are intact

A well-maintained roof protects your home from leaks, mold, and costly repairs.

6. Consider Smart Home Upgrades

Modern technology can make winterizing easier and more efficient:

Programmable thermostats for energy savings
Smart water leak detectors to catch frozen or burst pipes early
Automated lighting to brighten shorter days

Even small upgrades can improve safety, comfort, and efficiency during the colder months.

7. Plan Ahead for Construction Projects

Winter is also a great time to think about larger construction projects that enhance comfort and efficiency, such as:

Installing energy-efficient windows and doors
Adding insulation in walls or attics
Upgrading HVAC systems
Creating cozy interiors with nature-inspired finishes

Starting these projects in October allows you to schedule work during the off-season, ensuring your home is ready to face winter comfortably.

Winterizing your home now means staying warm, saving money on energy, and protecting your property from seasonal damage. At K.M. Cash Construction , we guide homeowners through both seasonal preparation and larger construction projects, helping homes become more comfortable, efficient, and ready for winter.

From Summer BBQs to Holiday Parties: How an Interseasonal Deck Maximizes Your Home’s Value

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 20:26:17 GMT

From Summer BBQs to Holiday Parties: How an Interseasonal Deck Maximizes Your Home’s Value

With fall weather starting to appear across Hampton Roads, many homeowners are looking for ways to extend their outdoor living spaces. While decks are often associated with warm-weather fun, a well-designed interseasonal deck can transform your backyard into a space that’s functional, comfortable, and inviting all year long—from summer BBQs to cozy fall evenings and festive holiday gatherings.

At K.M.Cash Construction , we can create outdoor spaces that combine style, function, and lasting value. Our team is ready to guide you through all the steps to ensure your deck is perfect for every season.

A Space That Works All Year Long

Adding features like covered areas, built-in lighting, and durable decking materials ensures your deck can handle changing weather. In summer, it’s the hub of backyard life. Come fall, you can layer in blankets, outdoor heaters, or a fire pit to make the space just as inviting—allowing you to enjoy the fresh air and crisp autumn evenings rather than being cooped up inside. With thoughtful design, your deck becomes a space you’ll use year-round.

Entertaining Through the Holidays

From Thanksgiving cocktails to twinkling December gatherings, an interseasonal deck can enhance your home’s entertaining potential. Screened-in sections, weather-resistant seating, and easy access to the kitchen make hosting stress-free and enjoyable, no matter the season. By planning now, you can ensure your deck is ready for both fall get-togethers and holiday celebrations.

Boosting Your Home's Value

Beyond enjoyment, a functional outdoor living space is a smart investment. Buyers love homes that offer versatile, four-season decks, and these spaces can make your property stand out in the market. By starting your remodel now, you’re adding lasting value while creating a space that’s perfect for daily living and entertaining alike.

Decks shouldn’t be limited to one season. With smart upgrades, your outdoor space can evolve right along with the calendar—from summer BBQs to holiday parties and everything in between. September is the ideal time to begin this remodel, with pleasant weather that allows construction to proceed smoothly and ensures your deck is ready for the holidays.

If you’d like to see how your home could make the most of an interseasonal deck, our team at K.M.Cash Construction is ready to guide you through design ideas, renderings, and a customized plan. Contact us today and we’ll help you create an outdoor space that’s perfect for outdoor living all year round!

From Summer to Fall: The Perfect Window for Starting Your Home Build

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 20:37:06 GMT

From Summer to Fall: The Perfect Window for Starting Your Home Build

As the summer season winds down across Hampton Roads and the first hints of fall appear, late August/early September presents a perfect opportunity to begin your next home project. With schedules shifting back into routine and cooler weather on the horizon, this short window is one of the smartest times of year to start building!

At K.M. Cash Construction, we’ve been helping families in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and beyond take advantage of this timing for over 25 years, guiding them through projects that add both comfort and long-term value! And with our team just a call away at (757) 278-4036, you can get started before fall calendars fill up.

Why Late Summer and Early Fall is the Best Time to Build:

1. Stay Ahead of the Seasonal Rush:

By starting now (before the fall rush), you lock in your project schedule and avoid the backlog that often comes once the holidays approach. Families who begin in early September are positioned to enjoy their new spaces well before the year’s end.

2. Ideal Weather for Steady Progress:

The late August/early September stretch often brings balanced, dependable weather in the Hampton Roads. This means fewer delays for foundation work, framing, and exterior details, which keep your timeline moving smoothly.

Home Build Ideas for Late August/Early September:

1. Add a Multi-Generational Suite:

With the holiday season only a few months away, now is the perfect time to plan for added guest space. A thoughtfully designed in-law suite with a private entrance, kitchenette, and its own living area gives visitors comfort and independence, while adding lasting functionality to your home. In the Hampton Roads, multi-generational living continues to grow, and a suite like this ensures your home adapts to family needs for years to come.

2. Design a Coastal-Inspired Great Room:

As schedules settle back into rhythm, families often crave a central gathering space. An open-concept great room, complete with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, brings everyone together. Late summer is the perfect time to break ground on this type of space so it’s ready for hosting cozy fall dinners and lively holiday gatherings.

3. Build a Three-Season Porch:

Early fall evenings in the Hampton Roads are perfect for porch living. A three-season porch bridges the transition from summer to cooler weather with screened walls for breezy nights, retractable windows for crisp mornings, and options like stone fireplaces for warmth. Starting construction in early September ensures you’ll be enjoying the space right as the weather shifts.

Ready to begin your project? At K.M. Cash Construction , we believe the timing of a build is just as important as the design itself. By starting now, you set your project up for success, avoiding seasonal delays and getting ahead of the fall rush! Call us today and let’s begin shaping a home that’s ready for every season to come.

Navigating Coastal Challenges: Building a Custom Home Near the Water in the Hampton Roads

Building Home Experiences in 2025: Beyond the Blueprint in Virginia Beach & the Hampton Roads

1. Bold Color Palettes & Personalized Finishes

Forget the all-white, sterile spaces of the past, 2025 is the year of bold, personalized design. Deep blues inspired by the Chesapeake Bay , sandy neutrals that echo Virginia Beach’s coastline, and rich greens bring life and local flair to your home. K.M. Cash Construction is helping

homeowners in Virginia Beach customize accent walls, statement ceilings, and one-of-a-kind tilework that reflect your story.

2025 Exterior Design Trends for Virginia Beach Homes

Wed, 28 May 2025 16:25:45 GMT

2025 Exterior Design Trends for Virginia Beach Homes

Your home’s exterior sets the tone for everything inside. It’s the first impression neighbors and visitors see, and in 2025, the design possibilities are more exciting than ever. At K.M. Cash Construction , we specialize in crafting custom homes throughout Virginia Beach and the surrounding areas, and we’re seeing some standout exterior trends that are sure to define the year ahead.

If you’re planning to build a new home or update your current exterior, here are the design elements making waves this year!

1. Moody, Sophisticated Colors Are on the Rise:

Classic neutrals will always have a place, but in 2025, homeowners across the Hampton Roads region are gravitating toward bolder, moodier hues. Think deep charcoal, slate blue, olive green, and even matte black. These colors add a refined, contemporary feel and look especially striking when paired with warm wood trim or bright white accents.

Choosing premium exterior paints that can withstand coastal Virginia’s humid summers and salty air is essential to maintaining that rich color over time.

2. Mixed Materials Add Visual Texture and Dimension:

One of the biggest design evolutions this year is the use of multiple exterior materials to create texture and interest. Blending stone, wood, brick, and metal adds contrast and gives the home a more custom, architectural look.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we often recommend combinations like white brick with natural cedar accents or stone foundations with sleek siding. This layered aesthetic adds depth and character while still feeling cohesive.

3. Outdoor Living Is Front and Center:

In Virginia Beach, where weather encourages time outside nearly year-round, it’s no surprise that large porches and outdoor living spaces are in high demand. Homeowners are opting for expansive front porches with columns, ceiling fans, and seating areas perfect for relaxing with neighbors or enjoying ocean breezes.

Outdoor spaces like covered patios, kitchens, or wraparound verandas not only enhance curb appeal but also extend livable space in meaningful ways.

4. Statement Entryways Make a Lasting Impression:

Your front door says a lot about your home’s personality. In 2025, statement entryways are all about bold design and functional beauty. Oversized wooden doors, dramatic arches, dark metal finishes, and side or transom windows are just a few features we’re building into homes across Hampton Roads.

5. Vertical Siding and Board-and-Batten Detailing

Modern farmhouse and coastal-inspired homes remain popular across the Virginia Beach area, and vertical siding plays a major role in that trend. Board and batten siding in particular offers a clean, crisp look that feels both classic and current.

This style works beautifully alongside brick or stone and provides an instant upgrade to any home’s façade, especially when used on accent walls or entryway bump-outs.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we help homeowners throughout the Hampton Roads region bring their dream homes to life, from the initial design phase to the final walk-through. Whether you’re drawn to moody color palettes, natural materials, or statement-making porches, our team will help you integrate today’s most popular trends with your personal style.

We believe the exterior of your home should be just as customized and well-crafted as what’s inside. If you're ready to start designing a home that turns heads and feels like home from the very first glance, we’re here to help.

Why Chesapeake, Virginia is the Ultimate Retirement Destination

Why Chesapeake, Virginia is the Perfect Place to Retire and Build Your Dream Home

Retirement is one of life’s biggest milestones, and where you choose to spend it can make all the difference. For those seeking the perfect mix of tranquility, natural beauty, and convenient access to amenities, Chesapeake, Virginia is a hidden gem that’s quickly becoming a top destination for retirees. With its diverse landscapes, friendly community, and favorable living conditions, Chesapeake provides an ideal setting to enjoy your golden years. Whether you’re looking to build a cozy cottage near the water or a spacious custom home on a peaceful lot, KM Cash Construction is here to help you create a space that fits your lifestyle perfectly.

1. A Peaceful, Scenic Environment

Chesapeake is known for its picturesque scenery, ranging from peaceful lakes to lush wooded areas and serene wetlands. If you love the outdoors, you’ll enjoy the proximity to stunning nature preserves like the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge , which offers miles of hiking trails, birdwatching, and opportunities for wildlife spotting. With so many beautiful parks, lakes, and waterways, you’ll always have a peaceful retreat right in your backyard. Imagine waking up each day to the calming sounds of nature, taking a leisurely walk along scenic trails, or spending your afternoons by a quiet lake—there’s no better place to relax and enjoy the peace of retirement.

2. Affordable Cost of Living

One of the top concerns for retirees is how far their money will go. Chesapeake’s cost of living is relatively low compared to other cities in Virginia, especially nearby coastal areas like Virginia Beach. This means you can enjoy a high quality of life while keeping costs manageable. Home prices in Chesapeake are reasonable, giving retirees the opportunity to build their dream home without breaking the bank. Whether you prefer a modest ranch home, a spacious two-story, or even a luxury custom home, KM Cash Construction can help design a space that suits your needs and budget.

3. Ideal Location with Easy Access to Amenities:

While Chesapeake offers a peaceful, small-town feel, it’s also just a short drive from the bustling cities of Virginia Beach and Norfolk, offering easy access to cultural attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment. Retirees can enjoy the quiet of suburban life while still being close to the beach, restaurants, and vibrant social activities. Chesapeake is also home to excellent healthcare facilities, with Chesapeake Regional Medical Center providing top-notch care, as well as many specialists in nearby Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Whether it’s a routine doctor’s visit or a need for specialized care, you’ll be well taken care of in this area. Check out more details about living in Chesapeake here.

4. Mild Climate for Year-Round Enjoyment

Chesapeake’s mild climate is another reason it’s ideal for retirement. With hot summers and mild winters, retirees can enjoy outdoor activities like golfing, boating, or gardening all year long. The relatively low snowfall means you won’t have to worry about shoveling snow or dealing with harsh winter conditions. Whether you’re out for a walk in one of the city’s beautiful parks or spending time in your own backyard, the climate allows for an active and enjoyable retirement lifestyle.

5. A Strong, Welcoming Community

One of the most important aspects of retirement is the community you live in, and Chesapeake doesn’t disappoint. The city has a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly neighbors and a strong sense of community. There are plenty of opportunities for retirees to stay socially engaged, from attending local events to participating in volunteer programs. Chesapeake offers activities that cater to all interests, from outdoor festivals to art shows, and it’s easy to meet like-minded individuals and make new friends. For retirees seeking an active and fulfilling social life, Chesapeake is the perfect place to call home.

Coastal Living Done Right: Custom Home Considerations Near the Water

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 15:55:16 GMT

Coastal Living Done Right: Custom Home Considerations Near the Water

There’s something magical about coastal living—fresh salt air, breathtaking sunsets, and the peaceful rhythm of the tides. For homeowners building near the water in places like Cape Charles ; Virginia Beach ; and Moyock, North Carolina , the dream is clear. But when it comes to custom coastal construction, there are a few extra considerations that can make or break that dream.

At K.M. Cash Construction , we specialize in crafting high-quality, custom homes that are built to thrive in coastal environments. Here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking about building your dream home near the water.

1. Build for Beauty and for the Elements

A coastal home isn’t just about views – it has to be resilient! Salt air, wind, moisture, and even hurricanes can put a strain on materials and construction quality. We help homeowners choose:

Durable, low-maintenance siding like fiber cement or engineered wood
Impact-rated windows and doors
Elevated foundations to protect against flooding
Metal or composite roofing that stands up to high winds

These features don’t just protect your investment, they enhance your home’s longevity and energy performance.

2. Understand Local Regulations & Lot Considerations

Waterfront lots come with unique zoning, permitting, and environmental rules. From setbacks to FEMA flood zones, we guide clients through every requirement, ensuring your dream home meets:

Local building codes
Shoreline conservation regulations
Floodplain elevation guidelines

We’ve worked extensively throughout Virginia’s Eastern Shore and the Outer Banks region, so you can trust us to handle the red tape while you focus on the fun part, design.

3. Embrace the View with Thoughtful Design

One of the best parts of building a coastal custom home? Designing around the view. We use 3D modeling to show you exactly how sunlight, scenery, and layout come together before construction begins.

Some popular design features for coastal homes include:

Open-concept living areas with wall-to-wall windows
Wraparound porches and elevated decks
Outdoor kitchens and showers
Panoramic master suites

Our design process puts the lifestyle you envision front and center.

4. Blend Style with Coastal Function

Beach homes today aren’t all driftwood and seashells, they’re a smart mix of casual comfort and architectural sophistication. Some of the current coastal custom trends include:

Light wood floors and natural textures
Indoor-outdoor living areas
Coastal color palettes with white, sand, navy, and seafoam accents
Moisture-resistant finishes and easy-clean surfaces

Whether you’re going for modern beachy, nautical-chic, or classic coastal cottage, we’ll help you make it happen, down to the last shiplap detail.

5. Your Partner in Coastal Construction

At K.M. Cash Construction , we bring over 25 years of experience to every home we build. Our team is known for clear communication, high-quality craftsmanship, and transparency from concept to completion. We’ve proudly served homeowners across Virginia Beach ; Cape Charles ; Chesapeake ; Moyock, North Carolina ; and surrounding coastal communities.

Let us help you build a home that reflects your lifestyle and stands strong against the coastal elements for years to come.

Let’s Build Your Waterfront Dream Home

Whether you already own land or are just starting to explore coastal living, we’d love to hear your vision. Our team is ready to walk you through every step of the custom home process.

Start the New Year with Your Dream Home: Why December is the Perfect Time to Plan Your Build

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 15:05:19 GMT

Start the New Year with Your Dream Home: Why December is the Perfect Time to Plan Your Build

As we approach the end of the year, many of us start reflecting on our goals and dreams for the coming months. If building your dream home is at the top of your list, December is the perfect time to start planning! At K.M. Cash Construction Company , we believe that getting a head start now will set you up for success in the new year. Here’s why December is the ideal time to begin your home building or

renovation project.

1. Secure Your Contractor Early

The start of a new year often brings a surge of people looking to build or renovate. By starting your planning in December, you give yourself a better chance of securing top-quality contractors and designers before the busy spring and summer season. K.M. Cash Construction can help you get on our schedule early so that your project is a priority as soon as the weather permits.

2. Time to Finalize Designs

Planning a home requires careful thought and attention to detail. December is the perfect time to finalize your home’s design. Whether you’re building a custom home or tackling a renovation, this month gives you time to work with your builder and designer to refine plans, select materials, and make any adjustments before construction begins. Starting the new year with clear, finalized designs will ensure a smoother, faster build.

3. Set Your Budget for Success

Creating a realistic budget is essential for any construction project, and it’s best to do this before the new year begins. By setting your budget now, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about design, materials, and timelines, avoiding any surprises down the road. K.M. Cash Construction will work closely with you to ensure your budget is realistic and that we find the best solutions to keep your project on track financially.

4. Avoid the Spring Rush

The start of the year is a great time to get your project off the ground, while others are still thinking about it. By starting in December, you’ll have the advantage of getting your permits, materials, and contractors lined up well before the busy spring and summer construction season. This can often lead to faster project completion and the opportunity to move in sooner than expected!

5. Get Ahead on Permitting and Approvals

If your home requires permits or approvals from local authorities, December can be a great time to get the paperwork in order. With fewer projects underway, local permitting departments may have more time to review your plans and provide the necessary approvals faster. K.M. Cash Construction is experienced in navigating the permitting process, and we can help ensure everything is in place for a smooth start to your build.

Start the new year right! If building your dream home is on your list of goals for 2025, there’s no better time to start than now. K.M. Cash Construction Company is here to help you plan, design, and build your ideal home in Virginia Beach.

5 Must-Know Tips for Building a Home in Virginia Beach This Winter

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 13:52:37 GMT

5 Must-Know Tips for Building a Home in Virginia Beach This Winter

Winter might not be the first season that comes to mind when you think about building a home, but at K.M. Cash Construction Company , we believe it can actually be the perfect time to start your dream home in Virginia Beach. While the colder months present some unique challenges, they also offer distinct advantages. Here are five must-know tips for building a home this winter.

1. Plan for Weather Delays

Winter weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to plan for potential delays caused by rain, snow, or freezing temperatures. At K.M. Cash Construction, we have the experience to adapt to winter conditions and keep your project on track. Just be prepared for occasional delays, and we’ll ensure your build progresses smoothly.

2. Take Advantage of Lower Material Costs

During the holiday season, the demand for construction materials typically drops, leading to potential discounts from suppliers. This makes winter an excellent time to purchase key materials for your home, allowing you to save on costs. We always work with trusted suppliers and will help you get the best prices available for your project.

3. Keep an Eye on the Ground

Cold temperatures can impact the construction site, especially when the ground freezes. To prevent any delays, we make sure the foundation is properly prepared for winter conditions, ensuring excavation and groundwork can proceed without issues. It’s important to work with a local builder like K.M. Cash Construction who understands how to handle these seasonal challenges.

4. Work Around the Holidays

While the holiday season may lead to some breaks in the construction schedule, winter can also be a quieter time for contractors. Fewer projects are started in the winter, which means our team at K.M. Cash Construction can focus more on your project and often complete it more quickly than during the busy spring and summer months. Planning ahead ensures that your project is a priority.

5. Take Advantage of Winter's Quieter Season

Fewer people typically start new construction projects during the winter, making it a great time to secure skilled contractors and get a jump-start on your home build. With less competition for resources, your project can move forward without the wait that often accompanies the spring rush.

Building your dream home this winter might be easier and more affordable than you think. K.M. Cash Construction Company has the experience and expertise to make sure your project is a success, no matter the season. If you're ready to get started or need more information, give us a call today at (757)278-4036 . Let’s make your dream home a reality!

4 Must-Have Custom Features for Your New Construction Home This Winter

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 14:22:16 GMT

4 Must-Have Custom Features for Your New Construction Home This Winter

Building a new home is an exciting opportunity to create a space that not only meets your immediate needs but also grows with you over time. With the winter season upon us, now is the perfect time to consider custom features that add value, durability, and a personal touch to your new construction.

If you’re building in Virginia Beach with K.M. Cash Construction , you’re in great hands. Our team is known for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Here are four top investments to make this winter that will enhance your home’s customization and longevity.

1. Energy-Efficient Windows and Insulation

One of the smartest upgrades you can make during winter construction is to invest in energy-efficient windows and insulation. These elements help maintain your home’s interior temperature, cutting down on heating costs during cold months and keeping it cooler in the summer. Look for Low-E (low- emissivity) windows that reflect heat while allowing sunlight to warm your home naturally.

Additionally, choosing high-quality insulation, such as spray foam or blown-in cellulose, will ensure your home stays warm during the chilly Virginia Beach winters. K.M. Cash Construction can install these features to improve energy efficiency, saving you money on your utility bills for years to come.

2. Heated Flooring Systems

Nothing says luxury like walking on warm floors during the cold winter mornings. Heated flooring systems, particularly radiant floor heating, are becoming a popular upgrade for new homes. Whether you want to install it throughout the house or just in key areas like the bathroom or kitchen, this feature offers unmatched comfort.

Radiant heating is not only a luxurious addition but also an energy-efficient way to heat your home. It warms from the ground up, distributing heat more evenly than forced-air systems. Plus, it can add resale value to your property—making it a long-term investment that buyers will appreciate.

3. Smart Home Automation

To make your home future-proof, consider incorporating smart home technology during the building phase. Smart thermostats, automated lighting, and integrated security systems can all be installed easily as part of your initial construction. By controlling various home features with your smartphone or voice commands, you’ll enjoy both convenience and energy savings.

K.M. Cash Construction can help seamlessly integrate these systems into your new home. With options like smart thermostats that learn your schedule and optimize energy use or smart locks and cameras that enhance security, this investment brings your home into the future with functionality and ease.

4. Durable Exterior Materials

Winter is the perfect time to think about the exterior of your home and how it will stand up to the elements. Virginia Beach’s coastal climate means your home will need to withstand wind, moisture, and potential storms. Investing in durable, weather-resistant materials will save you money on repairs and maintenance over time.

Consider using fiber cement siding, which is highly durable and resistant to moisture, rot, and pests, or composite roofing materials that last longer and require less maintenance than traditional asphalt shingles. K.M. Cash Construction offers top-notch exterior materials that are both attractive and built to last.

If you’re ready to start building your dream home in Virginia Beach, trust K.M. Cash Construction to bring your vision to life with custom solutions and high-quality materials. From energy-efficient windows to heated flooring and durable exterior finishes, these top investments will not only add personal touches to your home but also ensure its durability for decades to come.

5 Summer Bathroom Trends for New Construction Homes

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 17:32:52 GMT

5 Summer Bathroom Trends for New Construction Homes

As summer heats up and home construction becomes busier in the Virginia Beach and broader Hampton Roads area, homeowners are turning to us at K.M. Cash Remodeling for the latest ideas in bathroom design trends. We’ve compiled a list below of five trending bathroom design elements making waves in new construction homes across our community this summer season, so you can decide if you want to incorporate them in your new home’s build.

1. Natural Light and Large Windows:

Emphasizing natural light through large windows or even skylights is once again a major trend. Incorporating expansive windows not only brightens the space but also provides stunning views and a sense of openness. This trend connects the indoors with the outdoors, creating a tranquil and airy bathroom atmosphere.

2. Minimalist Design:

Minimalism is regaining traction despite a rise in maximalism’s popularity this past year. With clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a focus on functionality, this design philosophy involves using a neutral color palette, sleek fixtures, and ample storage solutions to keep surfaces clear. The result is a calming, sophisticated bathroom that feels both modern and timeless.

3. Statement Vanity Units:

Vanity units are becoming the focal point of bathroom designs. Homeowners are opting for custom- built vanities with unique materials such as reclaimed wood, marble, or concrete. These statement pieces often feature bold hardware and innovative storage solutions, combining style with practicality.

4. Black Accents:

Black accents are making a bold return in bathroom design. From matte black fixtures and faucets to black-framed mirrors and shower enclosures, these elements add a striking contrast to lighter backgrounds. This trend adds a touch of modern elegance and sophistication to any bathroom.

5. Integrated Wet Rooms:

Integrated wet rooms, where the shower area is seamlessly incorporated into the overall bathroom layout, are becoming increasingly popular. These open, barrier-free spaces enhance accessibility and create a sleek, contemporary look. Using consistent flooring and wall materials throughout the wet room enhances the sense of continuity and spaciousness.

At K.M. Cash Remodeling , we are committed to bringing these top design trends to your new home in Virginia Beach. Whether you're looking to embrace natural light or incorporate bold black accents, our team is here to help you create a stylish and functional bathroom that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Biophilic design is gaining popularity in new construction homes because it integrates natural elements into a house in order to promote health and well-being. Some ways this can be included in your Virginia Beach home are:

Green Walls and Indoor Gardens: These features bring nature indoors, improving air quality and providing a calming environment.
Natural Materials: Using wood, stone, and other natural materials creates a warm and inviting atmosphere while reducing the carbon footprint.
Large Windows and Skylights: Maximizing natural light not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also contributes to better mood and productivity.

2. Home Automation Systems:

Modern homes are becoming increasingly automated, offering homeowners greater control and convenience. Significant features currently trending on the market are:

Centralized Control Panels: These systems allow homeowners to manage lighting, climate, security, and entertainment from a single interface.
Automated Shades and Blinds: These can be programmed to open and close based on the time of day, improving energy efficiency and privacy.
Smart Appliances: Refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines with smart capabilities provide alerts and can be controlled remotely, making household chores more manageable.

3. Wellness-Focused Amenities:

New construction homes are also frequently incorporating wellness-focused amenities to support a homeowner’s healthy lifestyle. Key features include:

Home Gyms and Fitness Studios: Dedicated spaces for exercise and yoga promote physical fitness and mental well-being.
Spa-Like Bathrooms: Luxurious bathrooms with steam showers, soaking tubs, and high-end finishes offer a retreat-like exprience at home.
Advanced Air and Water Filtration Systems: Ensuring clean air and water contributes to overall health and well-being.

The latest trends in new construction homes reflect a shift towards creating more adaptable, connected, and nature-inspired living environments. These features not only enhance daily living but also add long- term value to homes by promoting sustainability and flexibility.

Building Dreams: Why Summer’s the Perfect Time to Construct Your New Home

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 16:15:12 GMT

Building Dreams: Why Summer’s the Perfect Time to Construct Your New Home

Beyond the picturesque weather and longer days, there are several compelling reasons why summer stands out as the ideal time to start construction on your new home in the Hampton Roads. Below are 6 reasons why we at K.M. Cash Construction believe summer months offer the most optimal conditions for bringing your vision of a new construction home to life.

1. Favorable Weather Conditions:

Summer brings with it a delightful blend of sunshine and warmth, creating ideal conditions for construction work. With clear skies and minimal rainfall in the Hampton Roads, builders can progress swiftly without the interruptions and delays often caused by inclement weather during other seasons. The longer daylight hours also extend the working window, allowing for increased productivity and progress on your home.

2. Expedited Construction Timeline:

The favorable weather conditions of summer enable construction projects to proceed at an accelerated pace. Contractors can work more efficiently without the need to contend with weather- related setbacks, leading to a shorter overall construction timeline. By starting your project in the summer, you increase the likelihood of completing your new home before the onset of harsher weather conditions in the fall or winter, allowing you to move in and settle comfortably.

3. Seamless Site Preparation:

Summer provides an ideal environment for site preparation and groundwork. With the ground thawed and free from frost, excavation, foundation pouring, and landscaping tasks can be completed with ease. This ensures a solid foundation for your new home, setting the stage for smooth construction progress and minimizing potential complications associated with frozen ground or waterlogged soil.

4. Enhanced Curb Appeal:

Building during the summer allows for the showcasing of your home's exterior features. Lush greenery, blooming flowers, and vibrant foliage serve as a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the curb appeal of your property. From landscaping to exterior finishes, the summer season offers the perfect canvas to create a visually stunning and inviting facade for your new home.

5. Seamless Indoor Work:

While summer is renowned for its outdoor activities and sunshine, it also offers comfortable temperatures for indoor construction work. With the installation of framing, electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems progressing indoors, workers can operate in conditions that are conducive to productivity and comfort. This ensures that interior work can proceed smoothly without the discomfort of extreme cold or humidity.

6. Seamless Transition for Moving In:

By completing construction during the summer months, you facilitate a seamless transition for moving into your new home. With mild weather conditions and longer daylight hours, the process of unpacking, settling in, and establishing your outdoor living spaces becomes a more enjoyable and efficient experience. You can fully immerse yourself in the joy of homeownership and begin creating cherished memories in your brand-new home.

The summer season offers a myriad of advantages for those embarking on the journey of building a new construction home in the Hampton Roads. From favorable weather conditions and expedited construction timelines to enhanced curb appeal and seamless indoor work, summer provides the backdrop for turning your dreams of homeownership into reality.

3 tips for New Home Build Inspiration

3 Tips for New Home Build Inspiration

There is nothing more exciting than deciding to build the home of your dreams, instead of searching relentlessly in a tumultuous market here in the Hampton Roads. If you’ve made the decision to build, then you might find yourself overwhelmed with all the decisions that need to be made.

Don’t stress! K.M. Cash Construction has been building homes in the Hampton Roads for years, garnering unmatched client satisfaction. We’ve seen the trends and have gained an understanding of what clients gravitate toward in their new build homes. Consider these 3 standout ideas for your new build home for both practicality and appeal.

1. Prioritize Efficiency

With the increase in home technology, we find that some clients have a distaste for the boom of “smart houses” being built. But one advancement that all of our clients agree on is increased efficiency!

Gone are the days of home appliances and design choices that increase your monthly utility expenses. Instead, new homes are being built with energy efficiency in mind. From the insulation being chosen and properly installed during the building process, to the windows used throughout your home, to even the appliances we incorporate – we keep energy efficiency in mind!

Not only are our clients excited to know that our homes at K.M. Cash Construction are beautiful and have all the modern amenities, but they’re durable and efficient.

2. Old but New

With new home builds, we’re seeing a push toward sentimentality and a more handmade design flair. What this means is that although everything in your custom-built home is new and modern, it appeals in a cozy, warm and traditional way. This means your home will feel unique and personal to you, and also feel as if it has a history, despite it being brand new!

3. Natural Lighting

One design element we make sure all our clients consider is natural light! Any home – despite its age – can feel cold and dark if it isn’t built and designed around bringing in natural light! By choosing a home layout that embraces the day’s natural sun movement and by incorporating large and plenty of windows throughout your new home, not only will it bring the outdoors in, but it will enliven the space and make it appear even larger.

Decorating Hampton Roads Home for the Holidays

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 10:29:00 GMT

Decorating Hampton Roads Home for the Holidays

It’s the most wonderful time of year – and a season one where everyone’s holiday spirit is happily on display in Hampton Roads homes and neighborhoods! One of the best ways to dive into celebrating your newly-built K.M. Cash Construction home is by decorating for the holidays.

1. Garland Galore

Garland is a classic staple for home décor during the holidays. It’s multi-purpose, with easy transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and can be used in so many areas throughout your home. Whether it’s wrapping the garland with lights around your stair’s spindles, or placing garland atop your fireplace mantle, there’s so many ways to express your holiday cheer with this décor piece.

And it’s not just for use indoors! Garland makes excellent holiday décor on porches, decks, and other parts of your home’s exterior too.

2. Light it up

What’s the holiday season without colorful lights? There’s nothing more fun for children and families during Christmas than driving through neighborhoods to see all the lights on display.

Make decorating your home’s exterior with holiday lights a fun family activity this Christmas, and a cherished memory and tradition for years to come.

3. Multiple Christmas Trees

The thought that a home can only have one Christmas tree is a myth! There’s nothing more fun than placing multiple trees throughout your home and using them as opportunities to create different spaces and moods.

If you have children, consider placing a small tree in their room that they can decorate with ornaments of their favorite cartoon characters or toys. A Christmas train that runs around the tree trunk is always a fan-favorite, too! If you work from home, consider decorating your home-office with a tree that inspires you or brings a calming and cozy effect to what might normally be a busy or hectic space.

Eager to decorate and enjoy settling in to a newly built home? Contact us at K.M. Cash Construction to see how we can help bring your Hampton Roads home vision to life just in time for next year’s holiday season!

Optimize Your Home’s Energy Efficiency this Winter

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 11:36:00 GMT

Optimize Your Home’s Energy Efficiency this Winter

We’ve already been hearing rumors of a harsh winter ahead of us in the Hampton Roads . With the colder weather comes a greater need to keep your family safe and warm, all winter long. As we approach the colder months, K.M. Cash Construction has our beloved clients in mind! We’ve created a list of 4 great ways to optimize and maintain energy efficiency in your home so you and your family can stay safe and comfortable throughout the season without breaking the bank.

1. LED Lighting

One of the easiest ways to lower your electric bill is to make sure any and all lighting within your home uses LED bulbs. It’s proven that LED bulbs use an estimated 75% less energy than traditional bulbs! When lighting your Christmas tree this year, consider opting for this energy efficient option.

2. Daily Sunshine

Although daytime itself is shorter during the winter months, homeowners can take advantage of sunlight during the season to be more energy efficient as well. Open those blinds and pull back those curtains as you rise each morning, allowing the natural sunlight to help heat your home and give your furnace a break.

3. Energy-Efficient Appliances

Investing in energy-efficient appliances is one of the surest ways to save on your energy bills each month and to keep your home comfy and cozy. Because this is the time of year that your furnace is working in overdrive, you’ll appreciate the monthly savings in water and electricity found through your home’s other appliances such as the stove and dishwasher.

4. Invest in Insulation

As expert home builders, we at K.M. Cash Construction know that the best way to invest in your home’s efficiency is by investing in quality insulation that’s properly installed throughout your entire home. By taking this important step and ensuring it’s completed just right, you’re saving yourself time and energy (literally!) in the future. As your Virginia Beach home builder, you can trust in us that your home will be built to last, keeping your family warm for all the winters to come.

K.M. Cash Construction is ready to build your energy-efficient Virginia Beach home this holiday season. Reach out to us today to start the conversation about your new home

Choosing the Right Plot of Land: Factors to Consider Building Your Virginia Beach Home

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 22:49:00 GMT

Choosing the Right Plot of Land: Factors to Consider Building Your Virginia Beach Home

Once you’ve overcome the initial hurdle of deciding between whether to buy an existing home or build a custom home – and you’ve chosen the latter – you’re next met with a very important decision: where to build?

Virginia Beach is home to beautiful neighborhoods, countless sights to see and places to explore. When choosing this city to settle in the Hampton Roads, there’s really no wrong decision on where to build. However, below we’ve listed 3 things to consider when choosing the perfect plot of land for you and your family’s dream home.

1. Selecting Size

When deciding where to build a home within Virginia Beach, the first question clients typically ask themselves is how big of a plot they want, or really need. This choice ultimately depends on a number of factors, including the size of the home you’re building, financial budget, whether or not you want to prioritize outdoor living space, seek privacy from neighbors, or enjoy the bustling energy of a more populated area … and so much more!

As a family, ask yourself what you desire most. If it’s simply space, then a larger lot is a no-brainer. But if it’s community, then you might opt for a plot of land in the heart of a more established neighborhood versus a spacious plot of land found on the city’s outskirts.

2. Privacy, please

For many of our clients, privacy is one of the highest desires. When we can’t allow for privacy because of the physical restraints that some plots have, there are other ways to recreate and allow for this feature! Consider purchasing and building on a plot of land with a mature tree line, or a plot that neighbors or backs up to farmland. Both of these options give you the space and scenery you desire, allowing some breathing room between you and your neighbors, without you having to foot the bill yourself on a larger plot.

3. Prioritize what matters to YOU

When it comes to building in Virginia Beach, a stunning ocean view to gaze upon every morning is at the top of many clients’ dream home list. For others, there’s an importance of being in a quiet neighborhood and on a safe street with little traffic.

Whatever the desire is, K.M. Cash Construction will work with you to narrow down exactly what matters most to you and your family, so your dream home is nestled on a plot of land just as wonderful.

K.M. Cash Construction has been Hampton Roads’ most trusted new home construction company for decades. Just ask our countless satisfied clients – there’s no one you can rely on more than us to bring your dream home to life. Give us a call today at (757) 241-6870 to get started in your search for the perfect plot of land to build your new home on.

New Home, Same Land: 4 Reasons to Rebuild

Sat, 09 Sep 2023 03:14:00 GMT

New Home, Same Land. 4 Reasons to Rebuild.

In today’s notably competitive housing market, inventory is remarkably low and housing prices are sky high as a result. Especially here in the Hampton Roads, where we see a constant influx of people moving in and out of the area because of the large military presence here, the fight to find a home has never been more challenging.

Because of the stress that this market presents, we at K.M. Cash Construction want to provide a solution! Below, we’ve created a list of 5 great reasons why instead of moving into another home in the Hampton Roads, you might instead decide to demolish your existing home and rebuild. Although it sounds jarring and like a more daunting task than a home renovation, read through the reasons below why this might actually be an excellent option for you and your family to consider.

1. Go Big. Go Home.

Often times when we purchase a home and allow our families to grow into it, we find ourselves wishing or wanting for more space. Whether it’s because of an increased need for privacy – like an at home office – or dedicated space toward your hobbies – such as a home gym – there’s countless reasons why families find themselves browsing the housing market for larger houses. Instead of trying to find a home that fits the ticket on all your wants and needs – build it! No competing with others in this market is an added bonus, absolutely, but the option to truly customize and perfectly curate the home you’ve always wanted, down to the smallest of details, is the real reason this unexpected option can be such a game-changer.

2. The Layout You Love

When purchasing a home in a chaotic market, we’re also met with a situation in which homebuyers have to make a lot of sacrifices or have to drastically scale back on their lists of “must-haves.”

The layout and flow of a home dictates the overall feeling of your house. From your ability to comfortable hosts friends or guests, to the ability to perform as a functional space for you and your family’s daily needs, it’s a home’s most vital characteristic.

If you’ve found yourself in a home that has a layout you hate, rebuilding on your land gives you the opportunity to design one you couldn’t be happier with. Whether desiring a more open-concept, or a more traditional and segmented approach fits your taste, we at K.M. Cash Construction can build it.

3. Optimize your Land

Because of the natural beauty of the Hampton Roads, there’s plenty of houses that are settled atop incredible lots of land. If you’ve been able to secure a lot of land that you love, here’s your chance to optimize it and elevate it even more!

Maybe you’d prefer to face a certain view or maybe you’ve thought to yourself that you wish your home sat a little further back from the road. Whatever your desire is, rebuilding on your land allows you the ability to manipulate the orientation of the home perfectly to your wants.

4. Cost Savings

Although the task of demolishing your existing home and rebuilding a new one seems overwhelming and maybe even unattainable, it’s actually a great way to find cost savings in such a demanding and competitive market with ever-growing interest rates.

Instead of paying a premium for land now, you were able to purchase a great plot year prior, when interest rates were at an all-time low. So, let’s rebuild. You’ve already got the land! Now it’s time to construct the house you’ve always wanted.

If you find yourself eager for a new home, but aren’t quite finding the option of moving right now feasible for you and your family, give us a call at K.M. Cash Construction to learn more about how rebuilding on your land might be the hidden gem solution within a competitive housing market. With years of experience and countless satisfied clients, we’re your trusted partner in home building in the Hampton Roads.

5 Features to Include in Your Custom Home for Entertaining Guests

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 23:49:00 GMT

5 Features to Include in Your Custom Home for Entertaining Guests

Owning a home isn’t just about creating a safe haven for you and your family, it’s also about building a welcoming and safe place for friends, extended family, and others visiting. If you enjoy opening up your home to others or hosting, then below are 5 home features we at K.M. Cash Construction believe to be great options to include in your custom-built Hampton Roads home that will make entertaining easier than ever.

1. Large Kitchen Island

The main gathering space within any home is undoubtedly the kitchen. There’s a reason it’s affectionately called the heart of a home! By including a custom-built, large center island in an open kitchen, you’re creating a central landing place for guests to gather around and enjoy.

Not only does counter seating provide a comfortable space for guests to sit, but the island provides the perfect place for food and drinks, making this location prime real estate for hosting. And as every bit as practical as they are, kitchen islands can also be beautiful and transform the look and feel of an entire home.

2. Main-Level Powder Room

When creating your custom home, don’t forget to provide a main-floor powder room that’s both beautiful and convenient for whoever visits your home. Nobody wants to have guests filtering in and out of bedrooms or other private spaces within their home. Instead, with easy access to a powder room, both you and your guests will feel more comfortable overall.

3. Guest Bedroom Details

If you plan to host overnight guests, family or friends, then the details in your guest bedroom space are key. Consider upgrading the space to include its own personal bathroom with shower or tub. By including this, guests will be treated to their own private space within your home, allowing them to settle in with ease and comfort.

4. Basement or Bonus Space

Utilize bonus spaces to create additional entertainment spots within your custom home. Maybe include a theatre space if you and your guests enjoy movies, or consider a rec room within a basement space if you enjoy playing a round of pool. There are so many ways to create inviting spaces throughout your home for your guests to enjoy.

5. Outdoor Living Space

Don’t forget to capitalize on the beautiful summers we enjoy here in the Hampton Roads. Create an outdoor oasis for your guests by including a grilling kitchen, a pool, or even an outdoor fireplace. By making your outdoor space an extension of your indoor space, you can create a welcoming atmosphere throughout your entire home that guests will delight in, no matter the season.

Building a custom home in the Hampton Roads is an exciting, huge step for you and your family. K.M. Cash Construction is trusted as your builder of choice due to our years of experience, expertise and client satisfaction. Creating a dream home for you and your guests is just one phone call away.

5 Luxury Features to Include in Your New Home

When you make the decision to build a new home, you’re given the opportunity to pick and choose each design feature so that you create the home you’ve always wanted. Although the large number of choices you have can be overwhelming, we at K.M. Cash Construction are here to help. By including one or more of these 5 luxury design features we’ve put together below, you can elevate your home’s living space visually while also maximizing your home’s enjoyment for you and your family.

1. Pool

If you’re custom-building a new home in the Hampton Roads, chances are, you and your family absolutely love the water and our many beautiful surrounding beaches. For added luxury in your home, why not bring that feature right to your back yard?

By investing in and building a one-of-a-kind pool area, you’re creating an outdoor oasis for you and your family. It’s a luxury that you’ll certainly enjoy each and every day of the summer, and a space you can customize for your exact needs

2. Wine Cellar

If you enjoy a good bottle of wine, or maybe you even collect wine, then don’t miss out on the chance to include a custom wine cellar in your new home build. These spaces aren’t just practical and convenient for storing wine, but they’re often show-stoppers visually and great conversation-starters for when you have guests visiting. This stunning and intimate backdrop can also make for the perfect at-home date night for you and your spouse.

3. Sound System

Although the exterior of a coastal home tends to be painted in blues, greens, or even yellows to emulate the beautiful scenery and sunsets we witness in the Hampton Roads, the interiors of these homes truly focus on bringing outdoor sunshine in.

By utilizing large windows, light cabinetry, soothing paints, and clean countertops, the interior of your home will always feel just as cheerful and bright as a day spent at the beach. By bringing the outdoors in, coastal homes allow you to enjoy your surroundings that you so dearly love from the convenience and comfort of your own home.

4. Entertainment Space

Speaking of entertainment, let’s not forget the opportunities you have when building a home to optimize rooms for your hobbies. Maybe you and your family enjoy watching movies together and would love to add a home theatre, or maybe a game room would be more your style. Whatever it is, we at K.M. Cash Construction can make it happen.

5. Hotel-like Foyers

If you’re focused on adding luxury to the overall appearance of your new home, then don’t skip over creating a grand entrance. Set a great first impression for whoever walks through the door by creating a beautiful and hotel-like foyer with a large staircase or statement tile on the floor.

There are so many ways to make a big design impact in this space.

Building the Coastal Home of Your Dreams

Fri, 26 May 2023 18:04:00 GMT

Building the Coastal Home of Your Dreams

The opportunity to custom-build a coastal home in the Hampton Roads, Virginia , area is a goal for many nearby families – and even those from afar.

Below are 3 of our favorite features of a coastal home, and why it’s sure to be a popular choice amongst our clients for many years ahead.

1. Charming, Yet Modern

If you want the overall charm and visual appeal of an older home but with modern convenience and high-end design, a coastal home is the right choice for you. Because this design choice aims to complement its environment, a coastal home is built to look as if it was always there, instead of distracting from the beauty of its surrounding nature. The quaint feel of a bungalow, yet with an open floor plan and modern design – a coastal home is a place for you to relax and enjoy your coastal surroundings to the fullest.

2. Relaxing Atmosphere

Relaxation is one of the biggest reasons why we see clients gravitate toward a coastal home design and build.

By including a screened-in porch, or a sunroom, you’re able to enjoy the ocean breeze and sunshine while protecting yourself from the harsh summer weather. You’re also able to hear the birds chirping and the waves crashing, all of which will turn your personal home into a private coastal oasis.

Optimizing Your Home’s Entertainment Space

Mon, 08 May 2023 13:16:00 GMT

Optimizing Your Home’s Entertainment Space

One of the best things about building your dream home is sharing it with those you love. So let’s optimize your home’s entertainment space! As the central gathering place for holidays and important life milestones and achievements, we at K.M. Cash Construction understand that constructing a new home is truly about providing a space for building memories. Below we’ve compiled 3 ways for you to optimize the entertainment spaces in your home so they can work as the backdrop to these important moments.

1. Open Design for Comfort and Connectedness

When it comes to designing a home that’s best suited for entertaining and hosting, the main area of focus is on an open-floor plan! If you opt for a home that has closed-off living spaces, there’s less room to converse and connect with your guests.

By creating a large and open floor plan – combining the kitchen and living room spaces within your home – you’re allowing not just more room for more guests, but an opportunity for everyone to remain connected while in different parts of the home.

As a host, you’re also able to interact with loved ones mingling in the nearby living room while you’re in the kitchen preparing a meal or refreshments. There are so many ways to create a warm and inviting atmosphere when you build your home with an open-floor plan and entertainment in mind .

2. Elevated Outdoor Entertainment Space

Maximize your living and hosting space for entertainment by curating an outdoor oasis. Whether it’s summer barbecues or birthday parties, events of all shapes and sizes can be at their best when you focus on an elevated outdoor design.

Incorporate an outdoor kitchen so you can grill hamburgers and hotdogs with ease, include an in-ground pool for the neighborhood kids to enjoy all summer long, or install a fireplace so you and your loved ones can cozy up around it and enjoy one another’s company on a cool fall evening. This area of the home can be the perfect place to entertain with a little extra attention to detail!

3. Large Island to Gather Around

The Kitchen is popularly referred to as the “heart of the home,” and for good reason. There’s no better form of caring for friends and family than a home-cooked meal made from love. Because of this, the kitchen tends to be a meeting place for one-on-one conversations and is often the focal point of holiday meals and traditions.

By including a large island in your home’s kitchen space, you’re not only being practical in adding storage area for your many kitchen appliances and dinnerware, but you’re creating a central space for building memories. Whether it’s preparing your family’s Thanksgiving meal, or simply a quick breakfast on a Monday morning before school, you’ll find that this area brings everyone together and a large kitchen island is a must-have when building your home.

Open Entertainment for All to Enjoy

Build a warm and inviting home that’s perfect for entertaining your loved ones with the help of K.M. Cash Construction. With years of experience, we know how to add a personal touch to your home’s design that’s simply unmatched by our competitors in the Hampton Roads. Contact us today >

3 Reasons to Build Your New Home in Moyock, North Carolina

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 15:35:00 GMT

3 Reasons to Build Your New Home in Moyock, North Carolina

One of the unique and wonderful locations we offer our expert building services is in the quaint town of Moyock, North Carolina. Nestled quietly in Currituck County, boasting a population of roughly only 5,000 residents, this little town is quickly becoming the fastest growing part of the entire county. Below are 3 reasons why you should consider allowing K.M. Cash Construction to create and build your new dream home in Moyock.

1. Small Town Safety & Charm

The word Moyock is actually derived from Algonquin Native-Americans, and translated, means “place of the oak on the trail.” This description couldn’t be more perfect for this charming town. Located directly on the state line of Virginia and North Carolina, this town is often frequented by travelers who intend to visit the nearby Outer Banks.

This means the area is not only picturesque in its scenic beauty, but it provides countless opportunities for outdoor activities to take part in as a family. Residents of Moyock get the simplicity, joy, and a cherished feeling of safety because of its small-town charm – and that’s something you just can’t find in larger cities with vast populations!

2. Fun History for NASCAR Enthusiasts

But if you desire excitement and adventure, this little town packs a big punch too! The historic downtown offers shops of all shapes and sizes, catered to unique hobbies and tastes. From bookstores to ice cream shops, there’s plenty to explore each and every day.

More recently, we’ve seen Virginia Beach set itself apart from surrounding areas by gaining recognition as one of the most popular beach destinations in the country. This month, it was excitedly named to a list of the 23 Best Places to Go in the U.S. in 2023 by Condé Nast Traveler , a renowned luxury travel magazine.

Undoubtedly an amazing beach vacation destination, we at K.M. Cash Construction also understand how Virginia Beach’s qualities also qualify it as an incredible place to build you and your family’s dream home. Below are 3 reasons why we think you shouldn’t just visit Virginia Beach, but you should set permanent roots here!

1. A Very Historic Past

Virginia Beach isn’t just the largest city within the Hampton Roads, it’s one of the most historic. Nearby Cape Henry was where the English Colonists landed in 1607, and also nearby Jamestown was where the first permanent English settlement was established.

You can see touches of this extensive history through landmarks and attractions in the area, such as The Cavalier Hotel. Set atop one of Virginia Beach’s highest hills overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this hotel is one of the country’s most notable historic hotels and amplifies its historic elegance and style for guests to enjoy. Learn more here .

Also nearby is Colonial Williamsburg, allowing visitors and residents countless immersive ways to enjoy the robust history of the Hampton Roads area. If you enjoy all things history and love the idea of planting roots in a city with a historic past, look no further than Virginia Beach!

2. Miles of Beachfront and Boardwalk

Noted as the “longest pleasure beach” by Condé Nast Traveler’s article, Virginia Beach certainly boasts miles of beautiful beachfront as well as an incredible boardwalk. Alive with music and home to dozens of amazing restaurants and bars, the boardwalk is one of the most iconic features of the city.

Stop by King Neptune’s statue for a family photo op, or step foot in one of the many delicious ice cream shops for a tasty treat on a hot summer’s day. Nothing quite beats a stroll down the boardwalk when its bustling during the summer months, or experiencing the fun and festive holiday lights display set up each year for you and your family to enjoy.

3. Endless Entertainment

Aside from the countless restaurants, family activities, museums and more, Virginia Beach is also home to great entertainment. As a Virginia Beach native, Grammy-award winning artist Pharrell Williams just announced the return of the Something in the Water Festival to Virginia Beach in Spring 2023 – an extremely exciting announcement for residents.

The Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater also brings in an endless number of big-name musicians throughout the year for Virginia Beach residents to enjoy and experience a great concert by. Because of the many surrounding military bases, Virginia Beach is also home to an annual NAS Oceana Air Show , displaying some of the coolest aircraft our military has to offer – meaning, your family will never run out of weekend adventures!

5 Things to Know Before Building Your Coastal Virginia Beach Home

Sat, 26 Nov 2022 16:44:00 GMT

5 Things to Know Before Building Your Coastal Virginia Beach Home

You’ve decided to set roots in Virginia Beach and excitedly await building your new coastal home. With the most important decision – your home’s location – behind you, you can dive headfirst into the customization process, designing a home that’s perfectly curated to you and your family’s needs.

We at K.M. Cash Construction have been delivering our clients with perfectly tailored-to-you homes for many years, and with our expert experience, we suggest knowing these 5 things before you get started building your coastal Virginia Beach home!

1. Safeguarding Against Weather

When choosing to build a home along the coastline, you’re taking the risk of knowing that it your home will be subjected to the elements. Although a relatively small risk in the Virginia Beach area, hurricanes do make it to our area from time to time. Because of this, storm protection is an important feature to consider when building your dream coastal home.

By including hurricane shutters and sourcing only the most durable of materials in your build, you’ll feel at ease knowing that your family will remain safe against unpredictable weather.

2. Materials Matter for Longevity

Outside of hurricanes, your coastal home is exposed to countless elements – from sand, salt, and the occasional snow fall in Virginia Beach, the best way to protect your home is by using quality materials proven to pass the test of time. At K.M. Cash Construction, we have extensive experience and a unique knowledge and understanding of which materials should be used when constructing your coastal home.

For example, with the higher humidity along the coastline, as well as the constant salty air, materials like wood aren’t always cut out for the challenge. Luckily, synthetic porch decking and other great materials exist to ensure your home’s longevity.

3. Prioritize the Breathtaking Views

Aside from selecting the most durable materials, you’ll want to build your home in a way that prioritizes and emphasizes the whole reason you build a coastal home – the ocean views! By expertly placing large picture windows throughout, you can capitalize on the beautiful scenery, enjoying it from your favorite spaces within the home. Nothing quite beats waking up to the picturesque view of the sun rising above the ocean, all from the comfort of your bed.

4. Amplify Outdoor Living

You don’t just want to see and experience the incredible views from inside your home, though! You’ll also want to immerse yourself in the scenery by creating and utilizing an inviting and cozy outdoor space for your coastal home. Expansive wrap-around porches are one of the most iconic and familiar features you spot on Virginia Beach homes, because these large porches are the perfect place to unwind quietly while overlooking the sand and ocean, listening to the waves as the crash ashore.

5. Maintenance is Key

After giving K.M. Cash Construction the honor and opportunity to build your family a perfectly-customized coastal Virginia Beach home, the last and most important thing to consider is the maintenance necessary to keep your home in tip-top shape. Salt can be incredibly destructive, as well as sand, so it’s important to prevent yourself from bringing these elements into your home, where they have the opportunity to damage upholstery and furnishings. If there are metal features on the exterior of your coastal home, don’t neglect them! Although a very strong and durable material, it still needs to be protected from water, which can infiltrate any small gap within the metal and begin rusting. By being proactive about these things, you’ll save time and money in the long run.

Building your home along the coast of Virginia Beach

Building a home along the coast is an exciting opportunity, and we at K.M. Cash Construction are thrilled to give you the coastal home you’ve wanted most. By understanding and considering the possible challenges of owning a coastal home, you can be proactive in its maintenance so that you and your family can enjoy it for countless years to come. Begin and end each day witnessing the beautiful Virginia Beach sunrises and sunsets, all from the comfort of your cozy coastal home, by calling us today at (757) 241-6893 or contacting us online .

Choosing Your Virginia Beach Home Builder: 4 Things to Help You Decide

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 16:38:00 GMT

Choosing Your Virginia Beach Home Builder: 4 Things to Help You Decide

Choosing to build a new custom home for your family is an exciting decision to make, but not one that’s made lightly. When you’ve decided to build the home of your dreams, the most important decision that follows is which custom home builder to trust with the task.

A Google search of new home builders in the Virginia Beach area can be a good first step in the search process, but you’ll find that diving deeper into the results, K.M. Cash Construction quickly sets itself apart from the growing list of options.

Not only are we backed by countless satisfied clients as a testimony to the expert quality of our work, but we’ve built our success over the past 25 years by prioritizing clients, holding ourselves to higher standards, promoting efficiency while remaining detail-oriented – all while establishing ourselves as well-respected members of the Virginia Beach community.

If you’re in the process of choosing your home builder for your Virginia Beach home, below are four things to help you decide who to trust with creating the house your family envisions.

1. Recommendations from Trusted Friends & Family

One of the strongest assets to utilize when searching for a home builder are your closest friends, family, and neighbors. The old adage that word-of-mouth is the best kind of advertisement rings especially true when it comes to choosing a new home builder.

When someone your family knows well can recommend a new home builder from personal experience, you can value that opinion higher than any review you might see online. That’s because somebody close with you will share their honest opinion about their likes and dislikes about a service rendered.

As an added bonus, these friends provide the opportunity to take a look firsthand at the builder’s work. You can ask to view their new home build, and inspect it firsthand, with no pressure or influence, and ultimate transparency.

2. Lookout for “Red Flags”

It’s very important that you search and listen for criticisms toward a home builder in your community, as well. In your research, you want to make sure you don’t come across numerous client complaints with the Better Business Bureau or the Contractor’s State Licensing Board.

When speaking with a home builder, be wary of estimates that sound too good to be true – likely, they are! These lower-than-normal prices usually translate to a home builder buying inferior materials, not properly following building codes or even a lack of proper credentials to do the work.

On the same token, if the home builder doesn’t present a signed contract, then walk away. A legitimate and trustworthy home builder will always provide you with clear, written communication about what they will deliver to you as the client.

3. Prepare & Ask the Necessary Questions Beforehand

There are many questions that will shed light on if a home builder fits the needs of your family. Some of these questions are if they can build the home you expect within your budget, how they communicate with clients during the construction process, how often you can expect updates, what warranty they offer, and so much more.

Go into meeting a home builder with the intent to properly interview them. Don’t shy away from asking them about the history of their company – how long they’ve been building custom homes, how customizable their home options are, or whether they use modern and updated materials and building processes.

Take time to craft those hard-hitting questions beforehand and you’ll feel much better making a decision afterwards knowing you properly understand the practices of that home builder.

4. Ask for a Portfolio of their Work/ Visit Their Show Room

Quality is vital to being content and happy with your home long-term. By visiting a builder’s show room, you can touch the materials and surfaces such as kitchen countertops, cabinetry, or flooring. You can speak with the builder while viewing the show room to garner insight into their installation process and overall craftsmanship. By doing so, you can confidently go into a contract with a home builder with peace of mind that the home they deliver meets all criteria set by you and your family.

10 Practical Things to Include When Building a House in Hampton Roads

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 02:18:00 GMT

10 Practical Things to Include When Building a House in Hampton Roads

When building a new home, you will be faced with many decisions and choices. With endless options in design and house features to include, it may become daunting understanding which ones to focus on or which should take priority in your new home.

Although its easy to focus purely on aesthetic design choices, we at K.M. Cash Construction know that practicality holds importance too. Blend both beautiful design appeal with options that make your daily lives more convenient for you and your family! Below are 10 practical things to include when building your new house in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, area.

1. Costco Doors

Although it's easy to focus purely on aesthetic design choices, we at K.M. Cash Construction know that practicality holds importance too. Blend both beautiful design appeal with options that make your daily lives more convenient for you and your family! Below are 10 practical things to include when building your new house in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, area.

A lesser known but highly practical feature for your home is a “Costco door.” If you’ve never heard of this option, it’s a term to describe a small door that connects your garage to your pantry or another storage space. It’s such a simple feature that has gone viral for its practicality. With larger grocery hauls, simplify the unloading process with one of these small doors.

2. En-Suite Laundry Room

The perfect space to include your laundry room in your new home is right off your primary bedroom. Connect it to a large walk-in closet so the convenience is amplified. No longer worry about having to travel your freshly folded laundry from a downstairs room to your upstairs bedrooms and tuck the dirty laundry away in a space without high traffic.

3. Under-Cabinet Lighting

This is a more popular feature in kitchens today and for good reason. There is a ton of convenience in under-cabinet lighting, whether it’s to illuminate your countertops while you’re prepping to cook a large meal, or it comfortably lights the space for your midnight snack run to the kitchen. Don’t forget this feature in your Hampton Roads new build.

4. Under-Cabinet Outlet

Alongside lighting, including under-cabinet outlets is a very practical feature for your new home. Outlets are always needed for cooking when so many appliances are used, but they can be unsightly against your custom-installed kitchen backsplash.

Install as many outlets as you need in your kitchen without disrupting the visual appeal of your backsplash.

5. Quartz Countertops

Not only are quartz countertops absolutely beautiful, but they are extremely durable. Less expensive countertops are unfortunately more prone to staining easily or not being durable enough to withstand the needs of you and your family.

By installing quartz countertops in your home, you’re giving yourself countertops that will stand the test of time as well as the gift of easier maintenance and clean-up within your kitchen space.

6. On-Demand Water Heaters

On-demand or “tankless” water heaters are gaining huge popularity in new home builds.

You can now say goodbye to a large water heater that likely runs out of hot water in 20 minutes, as these on-demand water heaters never run cold! Plus, they are more energy efficient, as they only kickstart when needed.

7. Deep Kitchen Drawers

Kitchens being built in Hampton Roads are opting for large, deep kitchen drawers as opposed to standard lower kitchen cabinetry. Not only does this allow for a more efficient, seamless flow within the kitchen space, but it’s ideal for larger appliances or groups of dishes to be easily tucked away, while also being just as easily removed when needed.

No more shuffling through crammed and clustered cabinets!

8. Dual-flush toilet & low flow Showerhead

Just as the on-demand water heater presents energy efficiency, so does a dual-flush toilet or low flow showerhead. By investing a little extra upfront and choosing to install dual-flush toilets throughout your home, you can save an estimated 6,000 gallons of water a year, creating huge savings in your water bill!

9. High Quality Insulation

Although this feature isn’t readily seen in your new build Hampton Roads home, it certainly is felt! By installing excellent insulation throughout your home, not only are you allowing your home to remain more efficient in its heating and cooling, but you’re setting yourself up for cooler summers and warmer winters to enjoy in your home!

10. Smart Technology

With new home builds, smart technology is being utilized more and more because of its convenience. Whether it’s controlling the heating or air conditioning, the lights, or overseeing a security system installed on the interior and exteriors of your home, the options are truly endless with the technology available to make daily life more practical in your new home.

Ready for your new build?

4 Design Features You Should Include When Building Your Home

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 21:15:00 GMT

New Home Construction: 4 Design Features You Should Include When Building Your Home

It’s no surprise that with the competitive housing market we’ve seen so far in 2022, finding a home in the Hampton Roads or Cape Charles areas of Virginia – that fits your family’s specific needs, doesn’t require endless renovations, and is within your desired price range – can feel like a losing battle. This article will provide you with 4 Design Features you should include when building your home.

Building a new, custom construction home is the best way to guarantee you the home of your dreams: one with features that not only make your daily life more efficient, but also hits the mark on your unique design preferences.

That’s where we at K.M. Cash Construction can help, by not only checking off the items on your home must-have list, but by also incorporating custom design details that provide you with the highest quality, ultimate luxury for your family. Unsure of what to include when building your new home? We’ve created a list of 4 Design Features to consider when building your home:

1. Large Mud Room – Contains the mess!

The entryway into your house provides your guests with their first impression of your beloved home. Unfortunately, the entryway or foyer often acts as a catch-all space for your family as you enter and leave the home, and keeping it clutter-free can be exhausting.

Functional but stylish, a mudroom is the perfect solution, and the options are endless for this kind of space. Built in cubbies for your children to hang their school bags on or a dedicated space for dirty shoes mean no more muddy footprints throughout the home.

Trying to avoid muddy paw prints instead? This space acts as a great buffer from all things outdoors.

2. Ceiling Features – Showcase an overlooked canvas!

Ceilings often don’t get the attention they’re truly due, but don’t underestimate them! They can have a huge impact on the visual appeal of a space.

With your custom-built K.M. Cash Construction home, you can incorporate unique ceilings in the living room at the heart of your home, or provide a dramatic, elevated feel to a home office or library.

3. Heated flooring. The ultimate winter luxury!

Although tile and hardwood flooring provide timeless, easy-to clean flooring for your home, the cold winter season means floors that are cool to the touch in the early morning.
