Why Spray Foam is Our Go-To for Energy Efficiency

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Would you like to pay up to 40% more than you have to for utility bills? Of course not! But many homeowners pay more than they should without energy-saving spray foam insulation. Let’s look at the benefits of this cost-cutting element of a Hagood home.

Spray Foam Lowers Energy Costs

That energy-saving claim doesn’t come from us; the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that homes with spray foam insulation enjoy a 40% reduction in energy costs. According to the DOE, homes with spray foam insulation have around 35% to 40% better energy efficiency than average homes in the U.S. That directly translates to lower utility bills and reduced carbon footprints.

Hagood’s designs maximize the energy-saving properties of spray foam. How? By using advanced framing techniques and placing HVAC systems in attics. When not well insulated, attics may have temperatures that climb as high as 130 degrees. However, an attic in a Hagood home stays about 85 degrees during summer and winter. Not battling heat and humidity as they would in a poorly insulated attic, HVAC systems work less and cost less. Plus, that regulated attic temperature makes it perfect for our accessible attic storage!

The MPI Spray Foam Difference

Equally as important as effectiveness, spray foam is non-toxic and GreenGuard certified. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses this criterion for hospitals and schools, where children and older adults often spend considerable time.

Benefits Beyond Energy Savings

  • Keeps out moisture. Folks in the Coastal Carolinas know tropical storms can blow in with substantial wind-driven rain, which can enter homes through soffit, ridge, or gable vents, often causing mold. But the thermal seal created by spray foam eliminates the need for these vents.
  • Reduces noise. Outside sounds like the buzz of lawnmowers can disrupt even the most peaceful neighborhoods. And nobody wants to hear water running through plumbing pipes. Spray foam considerably reduces and even eliminates, many of these unwanted sounds.
  • Improves air quality. A spray-foam thermal envelope guards against dust, allergens, and airborne pollutants that might otherwise enter a home. This creates significantly improved interior air.
  • Keeps out pests. With spray foam, there are no vents that might allow bugs and critters to enter your home. And spray foam fills up every nook and cranny that these uninvited guests might try to use as intrusion points.

Spray foam is the answer for energy efficiency and savings, comfortable interior temperatures, and protection from outside elements. Contact us using the form below to learn more about building your own energy-efficient Hagood home.

    We are Now Building in Castle Hayne’s Newest Riverfront Community – Sunset Reach!

    Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

    Hagood Homes is expanding into an amazing new neighborhood. We’re building our signature homes in the up-and-coming community of Sunset Reach, a riverfront enclave with so much to offer. And now even more so with the Hagood difference!

    A Tranquil Haven Near City Life

    “The best of both worlds.’’ It may sound cliché, but that’s the best way to describe Sunset Reach. Set on a bluff on the Cape Fear River, the gated community offers high-quality homes amid mature trees and native grasses. With unobstructed west-facing views across open water and expansive marshlands beyond, sunsets don’t get more inspiring.

    Historic Downtown Wilmington is just ten minutes away by boat or car. The coastal city has an eclectic dining scene, dynamic nightlife, upscale boutiques, and down-home shops. The hub is cosmopolitan yet firmly rooted in small-town charm. And its vibrant riverwalk will surely be your go-to destination for outings of all kinds!

    Enjoy Resort-Style Living

    While nearby city experiences are enticing, there’s plenty to do in the serene neighborhood. Planned amenities include a lakefront clubhouse, pickleball courts, and a pool surrounded by sun decks and picnic areas. Catch the setting sun along the community’s very own riverwalk and get in some scenic exercise on the lakeside walking and biking trails.

    Welcome to a Boater’s Paradise

    Would you like to dock your boat a short stroll from your front door? Private boat slips, offering deep-water access to the Cape Fear River, are approved and planned to come soon at Sunset Reach. But you don’t have to be a boat owner to take advantage of nearby waters. Hop into a kayak or paddle boat and set off on the twelve-acre lake at the heart of the community.

    Our Homes in Sunset Reach

    Daws Creek

    With three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, the Daws Creek is the perfect size. For those who like to work at home but don’t need a full office, the Daws Creek offers a cozy e-space perfect for a desk and a few office basics. Other areas of the home exude spaciousness. Enjoy a great room with a cathedral ceiling, a generous walk-in pantry, and one of Hagood’s largest screened-in porches. The primary suite has a high-volume ceiling, with an en suite featuring dual vanities and a large zero-entry shower.

    Cape Lookout Alternate

    We are thrilled to launch the Cape Lookout Alternate in Sunset Reach. This design was specially made for this community! We took our very popular Cape Lookout plan and reworked the bonus room to add a balcony that would maximize the community’s water views. The alternate design utilizes the same original layout, while offering more square footage than the Cape Lookout.

    Featuring four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, the Cape Lookout Alternate offers a second-floor porch that’s perfect for enjoying views of the water. A ground-floor screened-in porch offers equally amazing vistas of nature. Whether you choose a home with a lake view or a river view, the Cape Lookout provides multiple ways to enjoy either. And a wide entry porch is the perfect place for rockers that complement the home’s low-country design.

    With 74 planned single-family home sites, Sunset Reach is sure to be an intimate, close-knit community. But that limited number of home sites means a limited time to secure a Hagood home in this new riverside neighborhood. Contact one of our agents below to discuss how you could be one of the lucky few to call Sunset Reach home.

    The Possibilities of Our Design Services are Endless – As Seen in the Finnerty Residence

    Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

    Have you ever thought about living in a one-of-a-kind home? Turning that dream into a reality is easier than you think. That is if you choose Hagood Homes’ custom design service. Let’s explore a custom home we recently built for the Finnerty’s.

    Open Spaces with Fine Details

    The Finnerty’s home in the community of Compass Pointe has a striking open-plan design on full display as you step into a two-story foyer with an overlooking balcony. This gives a feeling of tremendous space throughout the home, notably in the great room and integrated dining area with vaulted ceilings. Check out the details that capture coastal charm, such as a fireplace with a floating mantle and rich natural hardwood floors. These details embrace low-country design, a hallmark of a Hagood custom home.

    The home’s feeling of expansiveness is balanced by more intimate spaces, like the cozy first-floor nook with counter space perfect for a coffee bar.

    Created in Tune with Nature

    Natural light fills the entire home. A pavilion room impresses with wide walls of windows overlooking the 18th hole of the Compass Pointe golf course. The stunning views continue with the long bank of windows in the adjoining four-season room.

    The first-floor primary suite further embodies the theme of openness with a vaulted ceiling and bay windows. The windows look onto a stretch of nature with golf greens as the scenic backdrop. The private ensuite has a massive shower with top windows, letting in even more natural light.

    Match Your Home to Your Lifestyle

    On the upper floor, the Finnerty home has a custom-designed office with made-to-order cabinetry. When work is over, an ample upper-floor lounge space leads to a large covered deck for relaxing. The shaded outdoor area is excellent for enjoying magnificent sunsets over an idyllic landscape!

    Down below, the oversized garage has a unique design: double doors in the front and a golf cart door in the rear. Off the garage is a large laundry room that’s outfitted with lots of cabinets for storage.

    The Bluffs on the Cape Fear Update: Summer 2023

    Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

    Hagood Homes has been busy in the Bluffs! We’re working on about two dozen new homes in this desirable gated community just 15 minutes from Downtown Wilmington. These new homes adhere to the coastal, low-country aesthetics found throughout the neighborhood. That is one reason The Bluffs is such a sought-after spot these days.

    An Uptick in Activity

    While home lots in The Bluffs have been selling since 2007, there’s been a recent upswell of interest — it seems like the secret got out! The nearly 100 homes under construction will soon join the neighborhood’s 200 completed homes. There will be about 750 total homes once The Bluffs is complete. Act now to join this fast-growing community.

    A New Hagood Model Home is on Deck

    You’ll soon be able to tour a Cape Lookout in The Bluffs! Our first model home in the neighborhood, the Cape Lookout impresses with a mix of modern and traditional coastal charm. What makes the Cape Lookout our best-selling plan? Features include open-concept living spaces, a dedicated office, and a gorgeous primary suite with optimal privacy.

    A New Clubhouse is Underway

    To meet the needs of a growing community, a brand-new clubhouse is under construction. When this is complete, residents will have access to two amazing clubhouses! What amenities will you find at The Bluffs? That’s a long list! But it includes a large outdoor pool, a fitness center, a private beach club, and tennis and pickleball courts.

    Immersion in nature is always at your doorstep. Enjoy over eight miles of walking and biking trails that wind through the lush 750-acre neighborhood. Get out on the water with docks and a private boat ramp – great for boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding. And a 20-minute boat ride down the Cape Fear River delivers you to Downtown Wilmington!

    Hagood Homes in The Bluffs

    The Bluffs on the Cape Fear has larger home sites than other area neighborhoods; most homes here sit on about a half-acre. These include homes set back amid tall trees and waterfront properties with magnificent river views. A few Hagood homes include…

    The Harbour Town

    Harbour Town III

    With a rear second-floor balcony, the new riverfront the Harbour Town III is tailor made for water views. However, you may wish to take in that magnificent view from your first-floor all-seasons room. An open floorplan that unifies the kitchen, living, and dining areas is another reason so many people love the Harbour Town.

    The Shackleford Banks Alternate

    Shackleford Banks Alternate

    Another new home with waterfront views, the Shackleford Banks Alternate has a second-floor sun deck. Perfect for enjoying the agreeable North Carolina weather.

    The Daws Creek

The adjoining great room is an expansive space with a cathedral ceiling that extends to the kitchen.

    Featured Floorplan: The Palmetto Cove

    Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

    Named for the iconic palms that grace the Carolina shores, the Palmetto Cove home design offers a contemporary take on traditional low country design. Let’s look at what makes this Hagood home so popular.

    Enjoy an Expanded Sense of Space

    With 2,175 heated square feet, the Palmetto Cove is one of Hagood’s smaller homes. But it lives much larger than its numbers suggest! A generous sense of space begins with an ample front porch with stately columns and plenty of room for rocking chairs to enjoy the pastoral beauty of the Coastal Carolinas.

    Pass through an eight-foot-tall entrance door to a distinctive foyer that leads to an open-concept living space with cathedral ceilings. Interior barn doors and a fireplace with a floating mantle bring warmth and a modern farmhouse feel.

    An Open-Plan Kitchen for Today’s Lifestyles

    Stylish farmhouse aesthetics continue with the kitchen’s shiplap accents and a sink before a window with views of green grounds. Topped by your choice of quartz or granite, the kitchen’s large island is sure to serve as your home’s hub. It has an oversized overhang that allows for storing bar stools underneath. And the pantry has a handy, space-saving pocket door!

    Just off the main dining area, a screened-in porch beckons you to enjoy fresh air in laid-back comfort. However, you may opt for an enclosed four seasons room with walls of windows that fill the casual space with natural light.

    A Truly Private Primary Suite

    With the Palmetto Cove, the main living space lies between the secondary bedrooms and the primary suite. This offers homeowners exceptional privacy. A triple, six-foot-tall window exudes elegance with double-studded pockets and a finely detailed pediment. Your generous ensuite has a wide double vanity, bathed in light from a transom window, and a zero-entry rainfall shower.

    A Bonus Room and Bonus Storage

    Ascend to the Palmetto Cove’s second floor to find one of the home’s most versatile spots: the bonus room. With a full bath, this sizeable area could serve as a guest bedroom. Or perhaps you’d prefer an upstairs lounge. The bonus room’s position apart from other living spaces also makes it perfect for a private study.

    Just off the bonus room, a walk-in attic has ample storage space, which never gets too hot or cold thanks to Hagood’s signature spray foam insulation. There’s also lots of storage room in an oversized two-car garage at the side of the home. This side-load garage eliminates the need for a driveway in front of the house!

    RiverSea Plantation Has a New Palmetto Cove!

    RiverSea Plantation Update: Spring 2023

    Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

    How many ways can you beat the summer heat? Residents at RiverSea Plantation have pools, ponds, rivers, and nearby ocean waters to help keep them cool in the summertime. And new homes with pond views are underway in the idyllic coastal community.

    Three Unique Homes with Water Views

    The latest Cape Lookout features a generous rear porch that looks out to tall trees with a pond as its scenic backdrop. Add in a dedicated study, a luxurious primary suite, and tons of storage space, and it’s easy to see why this four-bedroom home is one of Hagood’s most popular models.

    Another home that looks out to one of RiverSea’s 23 ponds, the most recent Modern Farmhouse features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, expansive covered porches, and design details, including shaker cabinets and sliding barn doors.

    Pond views are also a feature of the latest Shelter Cove, which welcomes you with a 35-foot-wide front porch with crushed-shell flooring. Walls of windows and high ceilings provide ample light and space, while a split-bedroom plan offers maximum privacy.

    Can you imagine a life with pond views? Hagood has a variety of homesites to choose from available to build in RiverSea.

    New Homes with Happy Owners

    One of the recently closed homes in RiverSea Plantation is an impressive Fort Fisher Cove with a private pool. This award-winning plan features an open chef’s kitchen, an oversized two-car garage, and shiplap accents throughout.

    New members of the RiverSea community have closed on a Shelter Cove with a vaulted ceiling leading from the entrance to the open living area. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, hardwood floors, and a zero-entry shower. All of which the new owners are sure to love!

    Nature Treks Close to Home

    Ready for a stroll through unspoiled nature? RiverSea’s miles of boardwalk trails cross pristine woodlands rich with pine and hardwood trees, passing through expanses of tall grass. Be sure to continue to the lush banks of the Lockwood Folly River, a smooth-running tidal river that flows to the Atlantic Ocean. Boating enthusiasts love that RiverSea has a boat ramp, a dock, and on-site boat and boat-trailer storage.

    Splashtastic Summer Fun Awaits

    There’s no need to go far for a refreshing break from the Carolina heat! Not with the numerous community amenities that include outdoor and indoor swimming pools. Inside the RiverSea clubhouse, you’ll find a modern fitness center, while the grounds feature tennis courts, pickleball courts, and walking trails leading to the river.

The barrier island’s surrounding waterways are popular for canoeing and kayaking. Dubbed the “Gem of the Brunswick Islands,” Ocean Isle Beach offers white-sand beaches, fishing from an iconic pier, and an outdoor amphitheater that hosts summer concerts. Holden Beach, a popular surfing spot, is perfect for discovering sea creatures in tidepools and dining at waterfront restaurants.

    Hagood Homes Wins a Coveted Parade of Homes People’s Choice Award!

    Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

    Dozens of models competed. But the people chose only one: the Harbour Town III. This stunning entry in the recent Wilmington Parade of Homes was by far the event’s fan favorite. During the annual showcase of new homes, voters cast a vote for one featured home in the highly competitive People’s Choice category. The nominee they overwhelmingly favored is also one of our most popular models, brought to fruition by Hagood’s team of experts and their invaluable trade partners. Without whom this remarkable success wouldn’t be possible.

    A Success Story That Spans History

    It takes a dedicated group of professionals to reach a level of accomplishment that garners such awards. The story of Hagood Homes originated with two individuals: Jim and Troy Kenny. These founders carried on a tale that stretches back to the 1840s. That’s when Jim’s great-grandfather, Johnson Hagood, built the very first Hagood home. A home that proudly stands today. Now, nearly two centuries and over 1,200 homes later, Jim and Troy are key members of the Carolina homebuilding community and have earned esteemed spots in the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association’s Hall of Fame.

    Setting Trends and Following Guidance

    As a homebuilding trend leader, Hagood Homes seamlessly blends traditional coastal-inspired aesthetics with contemporary design details for today’s lifestyles. From unique open-floor plans and ten-foot ceilings to bonus rooms with lounges and baths, our brand lies at the forefront of modern home construction. And our incredible clients share credit for many of the latest innovations; we incorporate homeowner feedback as we fine-tune designs for the next generation of Hagood homes.

    Is it truly better to give or to receive?

    We believe in both! With a deep understanding that an integral part of our success lies in the positive impact we make on the communities in and around the places where we create homes. Over nearly two decades, Hagood’s founders, Jim and Troy Kenny, have donated over 1.2 million dollars to local charities. These include the Special Olympics New Hanover County, the Ronald McDonald House of Durham & Wake, the child advocacy group Carousel Center, and others. Established in 2004 by Jim and Troy, the nonprofit organization Hagood Hope for Children has an ongoing mission to bring food, clothing, and shelter to children in need around the world.

    Closer to home, Hagood creates jobs; each newly constructed house provides around 250 positions, including jobs for on-site workers, local suppliers, and many others across the community. This giving back is at the heart of Hagood’s mission statement: “To build houses that become homes, to improve the communities we call home, and to improve the lives of our employees, trade partners, and homeowners.”

    For Hagood Homes, this award recognizes our commitment to quality and contributions to the communities our clients call home. Contact us today using the form below to find out how you can become part of the Hagood family.
