With the recent tornados in our area, we wanted to talk about a few ways to rebuild stronger than before. Here are five standards for Drake Homes:

1. Engineered Roof Trusses - Designed specifically for your home to provide strength and long-term performance.

2. Hurricane Ties & Clips - Added connections that help secure the roof structure to the walls.

3. Proven Wall System - OSB sheathing with house wrap, or ZIP system, and your choice of siding or masonry exterior finishes.

4. Engineered Foundations - Every home starts with a foundation designed for the soil conditions and structural demands of the project.

5. Storm Shelters & Safe Rooms - Available for families seeking an added layer of protection and peace of mind.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who has called, texted, and reached out to check on us over the past week.

Our hearts go out to the families, businesses, farmers, and communities across the area who were affected. We've seen firsthand the strength, kindness, and resilience that make our communities special as neighbors help neighbors through difficult times.

We are praying for those impacted around Coles, Effingham, Jasper, Shelby, Moultrie, Macon & Christian counties. Our team is especially thankful for all the first responders, utility crews, and volunteers working tirelessly to help our communities recover.

Thank you again for thinking of us. ❤ Stay safe, everyone.

Two things we love about this home … 1. The amount of natural light from all of the windows. 2. The cabinets selected are STUNNING. This project will really come together in the next few weeks AND wrap up! Can’t wait to share.

The foundation of a new dream home is officially underway!

1. Staked the corners for the excavators ✅
2. Marked out window wells & sump pit ✅
3. Located the thickened slabs ✅
4. String lines and paint for the basement walls ✅

* This is where the building process of every custom home really begins.

* Using the Trimble to make sure we are always dead on 👌🏼

* Would love to answer any questions you have on the layout process!

You know, Pinterest is really cool until you can’t find the manufacturer of a product. 😆 OH WELL! Wanted to share this awesome dog door that I found while browsing for inspiration! I would LOVE to use this door in a home.

We're having an office debate, so naturally, we're taking our controversy PUBLIC. Which upgrade do you think is overhyped and NOT worth the money?

1️⃣ Giant soaker tubs 🛀
2️⃣ Two-story great room
3️⃣Giving space to a FORMAL dining room
4️⃣Splurging on light fixtures
5️⃣Full home automation/smart home

Let's see if we all agree! Comment the ones you'd lose and add in your own!

We really maximized the amount of natural light that flows into this home. With the high ceilings and darker floors, the sunlight really brightens the space from bottom to top.

Question for you, and I cannot wait to read these answers .... When you think back to the house you grew up in, what's the FIRST thing you remember?
