Garage To House Door
A cosy fire at the flick of a switch. No firewood, no kindling,
no matches required – just add friends and family to share
the warmth and conversation
Garages can retain coldness that then permeates into
the house. Our garages are fully drywalled, so that even
rooms above the garage are warm and comfortable.
Screwed, Glued & Nailed Flooring
Decora switches and plugs
Smart Network Panel
It’s not enough to meet code – in our eyes it’s about
surpassing industry standards. That’s why our stronger
floor systems are up to 25% stronger than code.
Decora’s contemporary switches and plugs work easily
with any décor, and they wipe clean easily with a damp
cloth. Best of all? We made sure the main hall light can be
conveniently controlled from 3 places.
Your smart network panel is where all the technology
for tomorrow, is housed today: phone, internet,
cable connections all come together here.
Low E Argon Vinyl Clad Windows

cooler temperatures in summer and warmer in winter.
Add to that ease of maintenance, increased value in you
home and brick’s natural beauty.
Every driveway in a Homes by DeSantis community
is fully paved which enhances the attractiveness of
the streetscapes and the complementary nature of
the home’s architecture.
Unloading the groceries or storing your recycling?
