A bond beam is a horizontal reinforced concrete element that runs along the top of a masonry wall. It is designed to tie the structure together, distributing loads evenly and increasing the overall strength and stability of the home. Think of a bond beam as the framework that reinforces the top of your walls, helping them resist lateral forces from wind and other environmental pressures.
You’ve done it! You found the perfect lot, picked the ideal floor plan, made your design decisions, and now your brand-new home is nearly ready for you to move in. But wait—do you need a new deed now that your property has transformed from a vacant piece of land into a brand-new home?
Let’s clear up the confusion so you can get back to the excitement of your imminent move into your new construction home.
When you bought your lot, you received a deed—most likely a Warranty Deed or a Quitclaim Deed—which was officially recorded with the county. That deed isn’t about what’s on the land; it’s about the land itself. So, whether the property is a plot of dirt or a 3-bed 2-bath home, the deed remains the same.
Building a home is considered an improvement to the property, not a change to the ownership of the land. So, nope—you won’t be getting a new deed.
The only time you’ll need a new deed is if you make a change to the property’s ownership, such as:
🏡 Selling or gifting your home to someone else. (Lucky them!)
👫 Adding or removing a co-owner from the title.
📜 Transferring your property into a trust or business entity for estate planning.
If you’re still in the planning stages, your deed stays put—but your future home is ready to take shape!
If you own a lot but haven’t built on it yet, you already have the deed—now you just need the home to go with it! Owning land is a great first step, but without a home, it’s just that: land. The real magic happens when you bring your vision to life with the right builder.
At Sposen Homes, we specialize in transforming empty lots into stunning, livable spaces that match your lifestyle. Your deed proves you own the land—now let’s build something worth celebrating on it.
Your lot and your deed are waiting for their next chapter—let’s make it happen together.
To summarize whether a new home means a new deed, the answer is a confident nope! Your deed stays the same.
If you ever do need to update your deed (say, in a few years or decades when you’re handing your home down to your kids or grandkids), be sure to consult a real estate attorney to ensure everything is done right.
But for now? Let’s put that deed to good use and get building! Contact us today and let’s start planning your dream home.

When you envision the construction of your dream home on a residential lot, it’s important to remember that site plans play a pivotal role in making your dream into reality.
Ah, but what is a site plan, you may ask?
A site plan is a detailed drawing that reveals the layout and features of your lot. In this blog, we’ll dive into the significance of site plans for residential lots and highlight the essential elements they encompass and benefits they offer.
Cape Coral is a paradise for boaters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys Florida’s year-round sunshine. But if you own recreational vehicles like a boat, RV, or even business vehicles with signage or trailers, you’ve likely run into one major challenge—Cape Coral’s vehicle and parking restrictions.
With city codes limiting where you can park larger vehicles, many homeowners find themselves searching for secure, legal storage solutions that also offer convenience and flexibility. That’s where oversized garages come in.
At Sposen Homes, we build specialty Garage Homes that provide more than just a place to park. These homes are designed for storage, security, and multi-purpose use, giving you the extra space you need while ensuring compliance.
When building your dream home, it’s natural to want everything just right. As you review the architectural plans and walk through the construction site at your pre-drywall walk, inspiration can strike at any moment. “Why not add a window here?” or “How about adding an electric outlet there?” While these thoughts are exciting, they can also lead to something builders refer to as “scope creep.”
We want to help you understand what scope creep is, how it affects your home-building project, and how to manage it effectively. Our mission is to bring your vision to life while keeping your project on time and within budget.
Get ready, because the Cape Coral Construction Industry Association (CCCIA) Builders’ Showcase of Homes kicks off January 17th, and Sposen Signature Homes is proud to be one of the highlighted builders! The CCCIA Builders’ Showcase celebrates new construction excellence in Cape Coral, showcasing a variety of homebuilders that represent diverse styles, innovative features, and price points tailored to every lifestyle.
The Builders’ Showcase of Homes is your chance to explore the latest trends in home design and construction while discovering what sets Sposen Homes apart.

Your garage isn’t just for parking—it’s part of your living space. In Southwest Florida, where basements are rare and attics can be hard to access, garages often serve as storage rooms, workshops, and hobby spaces. Much like lanais extend your home outdoors, garages expand your interior living area, making them an essential part of Florida living.
Upgrading to an epoxy garage floor can turn this underappreciated space into a polished, durable, and multi-functional part of your home. Let’s dive into the benefits that make epoxy flooring more than just a luxury—it’s a practical investment.
At Sposen Homes, we prioritize building homes that are not only beautiful but also durable enough to handle Florida’s unique climate. That’s why we use stucco for the exteriors of all our homes. Known for its resilience, efficiency, and aesthetic versatility, stucco is the ideal choice for creating high-quality homes in Southwest Florida.
A recent study reveals a growing trend: millennials are leaving high-tax states like New York and California for sunny, tax-friendly destinations like Florida.
