At Spar GC, we take pride in transforming outdoor spaces into functional, aesthetically pleasing areas that enhance both the beauty and usability of your home. One of our recent projects showcases our dedication to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion for creating outdoor structures that stand the test of time. This custom-built deck is a perfect example of how we blend design, durability, and functionality to meet our clients’ unique needs and preferences. Design and Planning: From the outset, this project was about more than just building a deck—it was about creating a space where the homeowners could relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of their backyard. We began with an in-depth consultation to understand the client's vision, needs, and lifestyle. This allowed us to design a multi-level deck that not only complements the architectural style of the home but also maximizes the available outdoor space. The deck features an elevated structure that provides a commanding view of the backyard, making it the perfect spot for morning coffees, evening gatherings, or simply unwinding after a long day. The multi-tiered design adds dimension and interest, while the wide staircases ensure easy access to the yard below. Materials and Craftsmanship: We believe that the best decks start with the best materials. For this project, we used pressure-treated wood known for its durability and resistance to rot, insects, and harsh weather conditions. This ensures that the deck will remain sturdy and beautiful for years to come, even with minimal maintenance. Our team of skilled craftsmen meticulously measured, cut, and assembled each piece of wood to ensure a flawless finish. The deck boards were laid with precision, creating a smooth, even surface that is both safe and visually appealing. The railings were carefully constructed to provide both safety and style, featuring clean lines and a robust structure that complements the overall design. Functional Features: This deck isn’t just about looks—it’s designed to be highly functional and adaptable to the homeowners’ needs. The spacious upper level provides ample room for outdoor furniture, making it an ideal spot for dining, lounging, or hosting gatherings. The lower level offers additional space that can be used for storage or as a shaded area to escape the sun on hot days. The wide, sturdy staircases ensure easy and safe access between levels and to the backyard, while the solid railings provide peace of mind, especially for families with young children or pets. Every element of the deck was designed with usability in mind, ensuring that it’s not just a beautiful addition to the home, but a practical one as well. Aesthetic Appeal: While functionality was a key focus, we also wanted to create a deck that would enhance the home’s overall aesthetic appeal. The natural wood finish adds warmth and character, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. The clean, modern lines of the railings and the thoughtful layout of the deck boards create a cohesive, polished look that elevates the entire outdoor space. The multi-level design adds architectural interest, breaking up the space and creating distinct areas for different activities. Whether it’s a cozy corner for reading, a spacious area for dining, or a sun-soaked spot for lounging, this deck has it all. Client Satisfaction: At Spar GC, our ultimate goal is client satisfaction. We worked closely with the homeowners throughout the entire process, from the initial design phase to the final touches, to ensure that every detail met their expectations. Their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the deck’s sturdy construction, beautiful design, and the professionalism of our team. We take great pride in knowing that this deck has not only added value to their home but has also created a space where they can make lasting memories with family and friends. Why Choose Spar GC?

Every once in a while, a project comes along that doesn’t just meet expectations—it resets the standard. That’s exactly what happened at Upper Valley project, where the team at GoDesigns El Paso was entrusted with a blank canvas and turned it into a fully integrated luxury retreat, built with precision, purpose, and passion. At the core of this dream backyard is a custom-designed pool and spa, meticulously planned and built together. The pool glows with a Pebble Brilliance finish, its deep, vibrant tones shimmering under sunlight by day and glowing softly under water-lit skies at night. Lightstreams glass tile adds a jewelry-like elegance to the raised spa and the sun shelf, creating rich reflections and textures from every angle. That sundeck isn’t just for lounging—it’s a tactile, thoughtful experience. Designed with Lightstreams glass tile, it’s where kids play, grownups cool off, and everyone can dip their toes and soak their feet in style. It’s as inviting to walk across as it is to sit beside, offering both elegance and functionality. A standout design element is the set of custom stainless steel handrails, elegantly curved and installed with sculptural intent. Not only are they beautiful, but they’re also built to last—resistant to corrosion, timeless in design, and made for safety without sacrificing aesthetics. While beauty was key, so was resilience. The entire project was engineered to meet 100-year flood zone requirements—a critical design element in this El Paso neighborhood. GoDesigns accounted for water flow, elevations, and structural integrity, ensuring that every footing, drainage channel, and grade slope works in harmony with nature. And there’s more than water to love here. The oversized mossrock boulder waterfall along the edge of the putting green is both functional and artistic. Designed as a “table rock” feature, it creates soothing sound and visual movement while anchoring the landscape’s natural side. It’s a conversation piece as much as a sensory experience. Just steps away is a personal putting green and a custom basketball half court, both thoughtfully illuminated for day-to-night enjoyment. The putting green rolls true, edged with boulders and sand pits, while the court boasts pro-level surfacing under bright, architectural pole lighting. The surrounding landscape design ties it all together. Carefully chosen plantings bring color, texture, and balance to the clean stonework and turf areas. Strategic lighting highlights not just the beauty of the plants, but also enhances safety, drama, and ambiance across the entire yard—including the fence lines, water features, and sports zones. Every inch of this Upper Valley Project was built for purpose, performance, and passion. It’s a space where families gather, grand kids play, and memories are made—all under the sun and stars of West Texas. This is what happens when GoDesigns El Paso gets to do what they do best: combine timeless design, elite materials, and masterful installation to create outdoor living environments that are not only beautiful, but unforgettable.

Covid During Construction and Making Face Masks Dear Houzz Folks, We've started getting back to work and are educating everyone at our projects on how to be safe during COVID, posting signage, and we've been making masks for our employees, colleagues, friends, family etc... Here's some information on what I've learned so far in sewing the best fitting face mask for COVID. 1. Put in a wire at the nose bridge (about 3.5 inches) - it helps with fit and if you wear glasses, it keeps them from fogging up. I found that doorbell wire, available at the hardware store, seems to work well. It isn't too thin or too fat, bends easily and holds its shape. I attach it by using a zigzag stitch on the interior seam of the outside of the mask (so there's a bit more cushion on the inside). 2. For the shaped masks, I make a pocket in case my friends, family, colleagues, want to insert a filter - it also allows for three layers of fabric in the breathing area and less bulk where the ties go. For patterns that don't offer pockets, I just make my own pattern pocket. I also first baste the two inside pieces first and then sew the front on. This way, there's no worries about slipping. No pins are needed and no pins minimizes the number of extra air holes in the fabric. 3. So that the ties/loops can be replaced or modified, I make a channel for rather than sewing it in permanently. Many videos show using a safety pin to pull the elastic through. If you sew much, you might have a bodkin in your sewing box, but it might be a bit too wide. Instead, I use a long hairpin (you could probably make a long loop with a paper clip). I run the hairpin through the channel, loop the elastic through the end of the pin and pull through. That takes much less time than piercing it with a safety-pin. 4. For the inside of the masks, it is nice to have softer fabric inside, so high-thread-count sheets purchased on sale work great. Then you can easily tell what is inside as well. 5. For surgical-style masks, there's a pattern with a pocket on the inside and a wire. I like the ideas in this video but use 2 fabrics and make them bigger. About a 9x9 inch for the outside and 9x8 inch for the inside. 5/8 seam on the nose and 1/4 seam on the bottom. 6. For the fitted masks, there are two patterns that I like. For this one, https://moinliz.de/mundschutz-naehen-mit-schnittmuster it expects you to print on European-sized paper, so if you want to get the size right, print at 100% I also really like this pattern and I added a pocket and lengthened the ends to make channels https://intermountainhealthcare.org/covid19-coronavirus/homemade-cloth-face-coverings/ (scroll down to a link to download the pdf) Lots of folks sew craftpassion, but I like the fit of these patterns better. There are still some other patterns I have left to try! 6. After breaking lots of needles, I realized that I really didn't need to topstich the fitted masks over the bridge, so I just started skipping the bridge. 7. If you're going to wear a face-covering for a really long time, you might want to skip the ear hangers and go for ties behind the head. Instead of two ties, I'll use one long one so that the bottom one is a loop and the top one ties. Bungee cord works nice. Happy Sewing! : ) Rhoda Fry, Bill Fry Construction

Bathroom remodeling is a significant home improvement project that blends functionality, aesthetics, and value. At a high level, it involves updating elements such as fixtures, flooring, lighting, cabinetry, and plumbing to create a more efficient and visually appealing space. Modern remodeling also emphasizes energy and water efficiency, incorporating low-flow toilets, LED lighting, and eco-friendly materials. The planning stage is critical, involving layout decisions, selection of durable finishes, and ensuring compliance with local building codes to ensure both safety and longevity. The outcomes of a well-executed bathroom remodel go beyond surface-level improvements. A redesigned bathroom can greatly enhance daily convenience and comfort, whether through better storage solutions, improved lighting, or more accessible features such as walk-in showers or grab bars for aging-in-place needs. These changes can dramatically improve quality of life, especially in homes with outdated or poorly designed bathrooms. Functionality and thoughtful design can make even small bathrooms feel spacious and more enjoyable to use. Moreover, bathroom remodeling holds significant value from a financial perspective. A modern, attractive bathroom can increase a home’s resale value and appeal to potential buyers, often offering a high return on investment compared to other renovation projects. Real estate professionals consistently highlight updated bathrooms as key selling points. Ultimately, a bathroom remodel isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade—it’s an investment in comfort, safety, efficiency, and property value.

That’s exactly what happened at Upper Valley project, where the team at GoDesigns El Paso was entrusted with a blank canvas and turned it into a fully integrated luxury retreat, built with precision, purpose, and passion. At the core of this dream backyard is a custom-designed pool and spa, meticulously planned and built together. The pool glows with a Pebble Brilliance finish, its deep, vibrant tones shimmering under sunlight by day and glowing softly under water-lit skies at night. Lightstreams glass tile adds a jewelry-like elegance to the raised spa and the sun shelf, creating rich reflections and textures from every angle. That sundeck isn’t just for lounging—it’s a tactile, thoughtful experience. Designed with Lightstreams glass tile, it’s where kids play, grownups cool off, and everyone can dip their toes and soak their feet in style. It’s as inviting to walk across as it is to sit beside, offering both elegance and functionality. A standout design element is the set of custom stainless steel handrails, elegantly curved and installed with sculptural intent. Not only are they beautiful, but they’re also built to last—resistant to corrosion, timeless in design, and made for safety without sacrificing aesthetics. While beauty was key, so was resilience. The entire project was engineered to meet 100-year flood zone requirements—a critical design element in this El Paso neighborhood. GoDesigns accounted for water flow, elevations, and structural integrity, ensuring that every footing, drainage channel, and grade slope works in harmony with nature. And there’s more than water to love here. The oversized mossrock boulder waterfall along the edge of the putting green is both functional and artistic. Designed as a “table rock” feature, it creates soothing sound and visual movement while anchoring the landscape’s natural side. It’s a conversation piece as much as a sensory experience. Just steps away is a personal putting green and a custom basketball half court, both thoughtfully illuminated for day-to-night enjoyment. The putting green rolls true, edged with boulders and sand pits, while the court boasts pro-level surfacing under bright, architectural pole lighting. The surrounding landscape design ties it all together. Carefully chosen plantings bring color, texture, and balance to the clean stonework and turf areas. Strategic lighting highlights not just the beauty of the plants, but also enhances safety, drama, and ambiance across the entire yard—including the fence lines, water features, and sports zones. Every inch of this Upper Valley Project was built for purpose, performance, and passion. It’s a space where families gather, grand kids play, and memories are made—all under the sun and stars of West Texas. This is what happens when GoDesigns El Paso gets to do what they do best: combine timeless design, elite materials, and masterful installation to create outdoor living environments that are not only beautiful, but unforgettable.

If you haven’t heard the term “aging in place” already, you’re going to hear it more and more in the next ten years. The term as emerged as more and more adults expressed their desire to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. Rather than moving into a community built around increased accessibility needs, home owners are looking to the kitchen and bath remodeling industry to innovate the spaces in their home where they perform the most important tasks. As most long-time home owners realize, the need for accessibility and safety first presents itself in the bathroom. If balance is becoming an issue for a homeowner, the first concern that tends to arise is an exponentially increased fall-risk in the bathroom. Each year, one-third of individuals report a fall, and two thirds of those who fall will fall again in the next six months. Finally, falls are the leading cause of death from injury for people over 65. Individuals coping with injury, recovering from surgery, arthritis and other similar health issues are at an even higher risk of falling. In other words, every day, more and more people are finding the act of bathing or showering difficult, worrisome or even painful! For those seeking to age in place, this is where acrylic tub-to-shower conversions, like Reborn Cabinets Bath Solutions, are incredibly helpful, and can dramatically improve a person’s quality of life. Highly customizable to meet anyone’s daily bathing needs, acrylic tub-to-shower conversions give home owners the option to add benches, safety rails, and even the ability to install a barrier-free design—easy entry for those who require wheelchairs or walkers. But the aging in place-crowd isn’t simply looking for strictly functional solutions to their daily routine. Since these innovations are changing their already-existing bathroom, there is a need to move these accessible spaces beyond function and keep them stylish. Again, aging in place is all about keeping your house a home—not a “facility.” Reborn Bath Solutions is a versatile product, allowing home-owners to choose from a great selection of colors and a wide array of fixtures. Sure, the “bathroom of your dreams” may look a little different these days, but you deserve it! Give us a call, and we’ll help you stay in your home and keep your daily sense of confidence!
