Tips for Choosing the Right Custom Builder for You

Once you decide to shop around for a custom builder, you will find that there are many to select from. But, which one is the right one for you? Not all custom builders are the same. It is imperative that you do your research and homework to find a company that fits well with the vision that you have for your dream home here in southwest Florida. We have some simple tips for you to consider before signing a contract with a custom builder. Go with your gut: most people can sense if they will get along with another person. The same goes for a company they will be working with on a new home build. Is the salesperson responsive to your questions or seem annoyed? Do you feel like the builder is just as interested in building your new home as you are? If you don’t get a good feeling right from the get-go it will most likely have problems down the road during the build. Do they have the same aesthetic as you? The right custom builder will have floorplans that make sense to you and can be adjusted in ways that accommodate your lifestyle. Take a peek at their portfolio. Also, walk through some homes to see their handiwork firsthand. This will give you an idea of the subcontractors that they have working for them. Is the area clean and maintained? Are the finishes installed correctly? Talk to homeowners who have built their home with the company. A reputable custom builder will have a list ready to give you of homeowners that you can call. This is how you can find out pros and cons of that particular homebuilder. Ask the homeowners what their experience was like during the process. Finding the right custom builder for you is an important step in the build process. Approach them with a list of questions that are important to you. Your comfort in knowing that the builder has your best interest in mind can give you peace of mind throughout building your home.
