Saltbox Houses

Did you ever wonder where saltbox houses got their name from? It is a traditional, Colonial-style that came out of New England. When it is seen from the front, the roof looks symmetrical. If seen from the side, it becomes clear that the roof slopes so that the front has 2 stories. The back of the house looks like the house only has one.

The house has some recognizable features, including a flat front. The shape of the roof and the way the floors are built is the most easily recognizable. They got their name from the saltbox they resemble. They were used when the style started popping up around 1650.

The design started appearing since people chose to extend the side of the roof on one side. It would make for a relatively cheap way to increase the home’s square footage. As families grew in size, the saltbox could be modified. More space was added as families often had many children. Today, the style is still being built and has improved since its original concept.

We want users to believe we have added a lot of value to the process.

We love users buying the house designs we offer. We believe it is important to ensure every family understands what they are getting themselves into. Before starting to sell a design, you need to understand your needs. Is a farmhouse right for you? You can see the various categories we have available. Each category has a description. Finding the right house style should be easy. We have consciously designed the whole process with that in mind. We’ll walk you through everything you need before committing to a specific type.

It is still possible to change your mind about the type of home you want. It becomes increasingly hard to change the design the further into the process you are. All your mistakes should therefore be made early! Besides becoming increasingly costly over time, you also add significant amounts of delay to the process. Some counties may take longer to have permits approved. The more rounds of changes you make, the later you’ll be moving in.

Suppose you have already had all the drawings approved and started building the home. You decide that you want an additional bedroom. In that case, major delays will likely occur in the whole process. Even if you can modify the blueprints to get a 3^rd bedroom added, you will need to adjust the drawings. Chances are, the changes are substantial. Your local building department may require that you submit another application for building permits.

Things may happen where you are forced to change your mind on various aspects. If possible, you shouldn’t get that far into the process and then have to reapply for permits.

It’s important to note it may be possible to change your mind on the type of home. Substantial costs will arise that can change the budget for the project. We sell the house design at the prices we sell them at to sell many of them. When you ask to have revisions made, it’s often not that simple to implement. Revisions to existing drawings often mean changes to the roof and electrical systems. These changes may end up being very labor-intensive. It all depends on how it is meant to be implemented.
