Good communication - It’s important to have clear and concise communication with your home builder. Someone who is difficult or unreliable to get a hold of can eventually become an unnecessary nuisance. There will be ongoing follow-up throughout the process, so good communication is imperative.
Industry experience - We've made sure that the home builders in this article have extensive experience. While new contractors may not be all bad, you reduce the chances of problems or issues when giving your business to a more experienced builder.
Transparency - There are a fair share of home building companies that will tack on hidden fees to the end price tag. A good home builder will be upfront with all costs and not try and sneak in anything new at the end without first consulting or alerting you to the possibility of a cost increase.
Service after the Sale - Quality home builders tend to have home warranty service agreements or structural warranties in place to help give buyers that much-needed peace of mind. Builders in North Carolina typically offer at least a one-year warranty on their craftsmanship.
