While our Standard Package at S. Clements Homes includes premium features like granite countertops and custom cabinets, some folks opt for upgrades that enhance their lifestyle or add long-term value. These aren’t frivolous expenditures but thoughtful investments in how you live in your home every day.
One upgrade with great ROI is upgrading kitchen and bathroom granite tiers. Higher-tier granite offers more dramatic and varied stone patterns, elevating your space visually. Another popular choice is a pot filler above the stove—an affordable feature that adds daily convenience.
Outdoor living spaces, like covered patios or outdoor kitchens, extend your living area, particularly enjoyable in the Texas climate. They offer extra room for gatherings and can significantly boost home appeal. Finally, consider extra garage space or workshop areas, giving you functional benefits without excessively increasing square footage.
What sets S. Clements Homes apart is our upgrade pricing—customers pay only the actual cost difference, not marked-up rates. This ensures you’re maximizing every dollar in your investment.
Strategically chosen upgrades tailored to how you’ll live in your home provide the best return on investment. For expert advice on smart upgrade choices, give me a call at (469) 853-7952. Let’s make your dream home a smart investment too.
