Many folks interview builders but just don’t know which questions actually matter. The right questions can make all the difference in finding a trustworthy and capable builder for your home.
Here are 10 essential questions you need to ask:
1. How long have you been building?
2. How many homes have you completed?
3. Can I see three homes you built in the last year?
4. Who are your subcontractors and how long have you worked with them?
5. Do you use fixed-price or cost-plus contracts?
6. What’s your typical build timeline?
7. What’s your payment schedule?
8. What happens if material prices increase?
9. Can I talk to your last five customers?
10. What’s included in your base price?
Evasive answers to any of these questions? That’s a red flag.
Good builders welcome tough questions because they have nothing to hide. At S. Clements Homes, we believe in honest answers and transparent processes. You can evaluate us upfront and make an informed choice.
