New Homes

If you are exploring the option of hiring a new home builder to create a custom home, there are several factors that you must take into consideration before choosing the most capable builder for the job. Review the previous jobs, portfolios, and various styles of each potential candidate. Personally investigate and explore the many different styles of new homes on the market and focus on the quality of the work. Pay attention to details and consider the quality of the materials used in the construction of the home.

The search for a decent new home builder can be difficult and very frustrating to an inexperienced new home buyer. Conduct an interview and thoroughly interrogate each potential builder. Take notice of those who display excitement and pride when discussing their work. A builder with passion for their work and sees their work as a form of art is priceless. The most important fact to be considered is that the best candidate for the job is not building a house, but is creating a home.

3 Signs of a Rotten Builder:

• Avoid builders who seem to be more business oriented such as large corporate-owned contracting companies.
• Avoid builders who seem to focus on quantity of homes instead of quality of homes.
• Avoid builders who construct new homes with low quality materials.

The State of Louisiana requires a residential contractor to be licensed if he is building a home for another person if the home is valued at $50,000 or more in a permitting area. In addition, he must show proof of workers compensation insurance for those employed on the job and general liability.
