Choosing a builder can be tricky. You want to find someone whos experienced and reputable. Not only that, you want to find someone who you can work with, as youre entrusting this person with your house. In this article, well go over several strategies to ensure you can find the best builder that works for you.
The first step to finding a good builder is to look for a builder who has expertise in your area. Not all builders are the same and its best to work with someone who has experience with similar projects.
Dont just jump on the first builder you find. Get at least three quotes from various builders to ensure you get the best possible deal. Be very specific about what you want so there can be no misunderstanding.
Once youve found a builder you want to work with, do some research:
1)Ask them for references. If theyre an established builder, theyll be more than happy to provide references for you.
2)Look them up in the Better Business Bureau. Are there any complaints against this builder?
3)Go to your county office and look up their license. Check to see their liens history. You want to work with someone who doesnt just place lien after lien indiscriminately on their clients.
There are two red flags you should be aware of when youre considering a builder.
If they wont sign a written contract with you, thats an absolute red flag and you should drop that builder immediately.
If your builder wont give you a LAN line phone number to either their office or home phone and insist on just giving you a cell phone number, thats also a big red flag.
Once youve looked around, gotten several quotes and done your research on your builder, youre ready to begin your project. The due diligence you did upfront will save you tons of headaches down the line.
