In the world of golf and custom home building - Champions are drawn to Champions! Recently a film crew for Samsung selected our 2014 Tour of Homes "Grand Champion" model home in East Lake Estates to create a new commercial with 2013 PGA Champion, Jason Dufner. Even though Dufner has had to withdraw from this year's tournament due to injuries, we'll be seeing plenty of him via the new commercial below. The spot was created by Synergy Films from Atlanta and the location was scouted with the help of East Lake Estates team member and Prudential Preferred Real Estate Agent, Ryan Edwards. Ryan was prepared to show the film scouts three potential locations for the shoot, but upon seeing the model home (which is currently for sale) the crew decided to go no further. The custom upgrades, interior design and lighting was exactly what they were looking for. "We're excited to have been chosen for such an fun project," commented custom home builder, Michael Allen Monk. "It's always a joy to show off the hard work that goes into a custom home of this quality." As you can see from the photo gallery below, it takes a lot of people and a LOT of equipment to get 30 seconds of TV commercial, but the crew was able to get the entire shoot complete in one day. A second crew was documenting the making of the commercial and you can see that video below.

Zone heating and air conditioning allows the various sections of your home to be comfortable no matter what the temperature needs might be. Nearly all of the new homes that have HVAC installed by Jackson Heating and Air (including custom homes from Michael Allen Homes) utilize zoning to better condition the home and provide superior efficiency. Below are a few points on how zoning is a must for the new homes of today.
Working in collaboration with the Michael Allen Homes in East Lake Estates allows Jackson Heating and Air to choose the right system that will efficiently cool and heat year round. We strongly suggest that you consider HVAC zoning in your custom building project. At the recent Women's Council of REALTORS Tour of Homes, the East Lake Estates model home won the top honor with "Best Overall Design." The model home also won "Best Interior Design" and "Best Bathroom Design." Pictured below accepting the awards are (L-R) Tyler Schnell with Michael Allen Homes, Stacey Jordan with I.E. Designs and Michael Allen Monk of Michael Allen Homes. To show you more of this amazing home we've included a photo gallery below. To tour this home in person just drop by Monday-Friday, 11am-3pm or Saturday-Sunday, 1pm-5pm. To schedule a personal tour at another time contact Prudential Preferred Real Estate at (334) 826-1010.
Auburn, Alabama is home to one of the most innovative and ecologically friendly insulation companies in the market today. Ecological Insulation has been working diligently at making a new home from Michael Allen Homes, the most energy efficient home on the market today. It is the goal of these two companies to achieve a “Grade One” insulation rating. The two choices homeowners have when deciding what type of insulation to install are spray foam and traditional fiber products. While we believe that the best insulation is achieved through spray foam it will be our goal to achieve the maximum insulation rating possible if choosing traditional fiber products. Every Michael Allen Home receives a trademarked “Eco EnergySeal Package” which includes advanced air sealing techniques to ensure that all homes have reduced air changes per hour. To put it simply, Ecological Insulation will work to seal up every crack and crevice with caulk and can foam to make sure every house is as energy efficient as possible. The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requires proper insulation and air sealing techniques to pass the energy efficient standards. While Alabama is currently adhering to the 2009 IEC Code, Michael Allen Homes meets or exceeds the 2012 IECC standard. Working in conjunction with Pella Windows, high efficiency Trane HVAC equipment and Energy Recovery Ventilators a Michael Allen Home will achieve a three Air Exchange Per Hour energy efficiency rating. David Kahn, partner in Ecological Insulation, believes that insulation is often one of the last items thought about in building a home. “Insulation is often an overlooked aspect of the home. What is behind the walls is usually ‘out of sight, therefore out of mind’. We believe that one way to afford more home is to pay less to operate it and keep it comfortable. Upgraded insulation is an upgrade that provides constant annual returns on investment. Utility rates do not appear to be going down, therefore the return is greater as utility rates continue to rise.” Thanks to Ecological Insulation you can rest assured that every Michael Allen Home is built as energy efficient as it is beautiful.
