We've Found Some Great Businesses. So Can You!
Trying to find the right contractor for your home’s next addition or home-improvement project can feel overwhelming. Take the guesswork out of the process with our helpful tips to ensure you find the best builder to care for your home.
While most builders are capable of constructing a speculative home, a custom builder must provide a higher level of quality and craftsmanship. Your builder should be familiar with your home’s style and able to keep any home-improvement project in line with your home’s style, be experienced and certified, and be open to listening to your wishes and needs. Be sure you end up with the right match by following the selection guidelines here.
Matching a builder to a building project involves more than getting the best deal for your money. Many aspects of home building are subjective. One person’s dream may be a quaint cottage by a lake, while another may prefer a 6,000-square-foot French country house. Can the same builder construct both? Probably. Could they be constructed equally well? Probably not.
Builders have niches with regard to the types and price ranges of houses they usually construct. Some may be geared toward high-end custom houses, building only two or three $1 million homes a year. Others have found their niches in building speculative three-bedroom, three bathroom tract houses. Whatever the builder’s specialty, a consumer should match his or her needs to a builder with appropriate experience.
