  • House Materials Known for Their Durability

    If you are taking the time and effort to have your home renovated, you want to make sure the results are long-lasting. At Country Club Homes, we emphasize using the most durable materials. Here is a look at four materials that we love using in our projects because they stay looking great for decades with minimal wear and tear.

    Stone Tile

    Traditional tile is so versatile. We have used in in bathrooms, kitchens, counter tops, floors, and even roofs. You can choose from any color or pattern, and the results stay looking as good as new for decades.

    A hardwood floor may need sanding and refinishing after a few years of wear, but with this care it keeps its natural beauty for an incredible length of time.

    More durable than aluminum or vinyl, copper gutters and pipes add character to a space and they also last a lifetime.
