Frequently Asked Questions
Does new construction in Maui hold its value?
The answer isn’t simple. Factors such as location, interest rates and the economy can all affect a home’s value. However, current trends on Maui show that the real estate market has remained strong, in part because people see it as a safe place to live during the coronavirus outbreak.
There are lots of contractors out there. Why should I choose Crescent Homes?
Great question! There are many reasons to choose Crescent Homes, but one of the biggest is our great customer service. When you make a phone call or send an email, we give you a timely response. Those accustomed to the relaxed way business is sometimes done in Hawaii will appreciate our responsiveness.
What should I expect when buying a new construction home?
When buying a new construction home an important step is determining if the project offers opportunities for customization. Many builders allow buyers to choose a wide range of finish materials, including flooring, countertops, cabinets, fixtures, paint, and appliances. Crescent Homes Maui, one of the island’s leading builders of new homes, has new home projects that buyers can customize before completion. Call us to find out more about how we can make your new island home feel true to you.
Which surface is the best for my driveway?
When it comes to longevity and durability, a concrete driveway is far superior to one surfaced with asphalt. In addition, concrete offers many options for customization, such as adding a permanent stain, decorative pattern, texture for traction, or the addition of attractive stones or other elements. Crescent Homes Maui, a licensed and bonded general contractor, specializes in customizing residential concrete projects. If you want the best for your home, call us today. Let’s talk about a new concrete driveway.
Does a pool add value to your home?
Real estate experts say a swimming pool can add about 7 percent value to a home in a climate where you can swim year-round, which certainly includes Maui. A pool is also a feature that is attractive to many prospective buyers of luxury homes. However, in order to provide the most value for your investment, the pool needs to be well-maintained, fit with the style of the home, and ideally still allow for some open backyard space. Crescent Homes Maui is a general contractor as well as a certified pool contractor. Call us today to learn how a pool can enhance your tropical lifestyle.
What types of retaining walls are there?
There are several types of retaining walls that are typically used for residential construction. Free-standing walls, boulder walls, and segmental walls typically rely on the gravity of their weight and mass to hold back the soil. But there are also retaining walls that are cantilevered, anchored, or that use sheet piling. The options in decorative styles vary widely too. Don’t trust this important project to anyone but a professional. Crescent Homes Maui is a bonded and licensed general contractor that has built thousands of homes. Call us today and let’s talk about your vision for your home.
What is the difference between stamped concrete and regular concrete?
The difference between stamped concrete and regular concrete is straightforward: Stamped concrete is poured concrete that has been stamped with a decorative pattern, and often given a color stain. There is an astonishing range of patterns and colors you can choose in order to mimic the look of flagstone, tile, brick, and even wood. A key benefit is the durability and low maintenance that concrete provides. At Crescent Homes Maui we are experts in applying a colored stain or stamped design to concrete, whether it’s for a pool deck, lanai, walkway, or another hardscape. Call us today and learn more about this amazing option for your home.
