Choosing the Right Appliance

Another important selection for your new Colorado Springs custom home will be your appliances. 

For some of you this may be a very basic and purely functional decision.  But never loose sight of the fact that you may someday want to resell your home.  The kitchen and its’ appliances are probably one of the most important selling features for a new homebuyer.  

If you’re like our family and friends, think about how much time you spend in the kitchen.  Long ago I gave up trying to guide guests to another area of the house while preparing dinner, they always seem to want to congregate in the kitchen.  It’s where the action is for the most part.  In this comfortable atmosphere your appliances have a starring role.  i.e. food and storage, wine cooler, ice maker, dishwasher, etc.

The quality, efficiency, sustainability and affordability are all key decision makers here. The performance of your appliances, especially at high altitude here in Colorado Springs, and how it affects cooking on a gas cook top for example, are all things to consider.  We work with all brands including;  Kitchen Aid, Thermador, SubZero/Wolf  and many more.

Another factor in today’s market is green manufacturing technologies and environmental codes. Many of today’s appliances are ENERGY STAR rated, which saves money with greater energy efficiency. 

Along with function goes form.  Think about whether you want to highlight your appliances and their sleek stainless exteriors or other fun colors or make them disappear? We can cover most appliances with wood panels that will create a beautiful blend with the rest of your cabinetry.

Comito Building and Design, along with our trade partners, is very familiar with all of the above and how it will fit into your lifestyle and your new custom home.

As your client coordinator I will guide you through the entire selections & building process, helping you make decisions on your appliances, this includes visiting the showrooms, trying out that cook top you’ve been thinking about, bring in something you’d like to cook to see if it works for you.  Really, these showrooms have live appliances for you to try.  And ask questions – we have the answers.
