In The Winter

Sunroom in the Winter - Linwood Homes

A sunroom can be a cozy and enjoyable space to spend time in during the winter months.❄️✨ To make a sunroom more comfortable in the winter, you can add insulation to the walls and windows, install weatherstripping to seal any gaps, and use space heaters or other heating sources to warm the space.

Prefab vs Stick Built - Linwood Homes

We often get asked whether or not our homes are pre-fabricated or stick-built. 🛠 The answer is actually somewhere in between! ✨ We offer prefab benefits (faster construction, less waste, price certainty) with our Design & Material Package. When your package arrives on-site, your builder will still build the home like it is stick-framed. This combination of building approaches gives you the benefits of a streamlined system with the ability for complete customization. 🙂
