Which sounds better?

[skymama 35]

We're having a disagreement in the office here, which phrase sounds better to you? I won't tell you my opinion so I won't sway the vote.

Thanks!

Either one causes one to think you focus on one over the other.

[Remster 24]

I picked number two. I would think more people remodel then buy custom built homes right now.

#1 You build custom homes, and you remodel

Its like saying i work on cars, and sell them

Its better sounding if you say i sell cars and work on them

So, would you say the word "remodeling" is a noun or a verb in #1?

The 1st for me as it introduces the main subject (homes) to which, I'm sure, that you intend the secondary subject (remodeling) to be be applied to.

Can I put in a vote for this one?

Says that both new homes and remodels are unique. Not that you build pre-fab homes.

the "last for generations" sounds odd but I can't tell you exactly why.

"Homes" is the larger set. It should come first because it's more important. Further people live in "homes". They may use a remodeled kitchen or bath, but they live in the home so the connection is more personal.

"Built for generations" has two implications, but the important one is that it's a home of the quality and worth of being passed down from parent to child. It pulls on heartstrings and is in reality a bit unrealistic in modern times, but is still a good phrase.

It reads as a verb to me that you build custom homes, and do some remodeling, not that both is custom. Isn't any home remodeling custom anyways?

And put some commas in there!

"Custom Homes and Remodeling, uniquely designed for you, and built to last for generations."

Should "Homes" and "Remodeling" be capitalized?

Ditto. Better than the two options Skymama posted.

It should just say:

Uniquely designed custom homes and remodeling.

[mtbriles 0]

The first one because when you say Custom Homes that means you build a home unique to the owner, if you say CUstom Remodeling thats like and obvious statement, if its being remodeled its most likely going to be custom for your customer.

Just my opinion, hope it helps.

Custom = Uniquely Designed for You

(Specializing in) Custom (-Built) Homes & Remodels Since 19??.

( ) = optional

or

Designing, Building and Remodeling Custom Homes for ?? years. (? Generations)

I understand the urge to include "for you" to try and "personalize" the message, but I never thought that made any real difference and sounds like pandering.

Both phrases are crying out for some punctuation help.

Simply put - Not all homes are custom, but all remodels are.

I chose #1 because remodeling is custom almost by definition so what's the point in saying that it's custom work when you can clarify that the home building is custom work. In addition, home building is the more powerful part of the business whether it's what brings in the most revenue.
