These can include reliability, poor workmanship, hidden extra costs and timing problems. Doing diligent research on your new home builders will help ensure that your home is completed on time, with minimum disruptions and stress. Here are some things to look for in a home builder.

Inspect Previous Homes

Study new homes for quality and value. Do a drive by and see if you like the style and design of existing homes built by the company. Talk to your builder at length about the styles and home plans that they have available, and whether you can create your own custom design.
