For homeowners who built a custom home

Score your builder in four questions

Did they finish on time? On budget? How did they communicate? Would you hire them again? Your answers help the next family choose. We publish totals only, never your name.

1. Did they finish on time?
2. Did the final cost match the contract plus the changes you asked for?
3. How well did they communicate? (1 = poorly, 5 = very well)
4. Would you hire them again?

How scorecards work

  • We publish totals only after 3 homeowners have answered for a builder.
  • We check each answer comes from a real client, using the address against county permit records or by asking the builder. Builders can’t remove a fair scorecard, and can’t pay to change one.
  • Want to tell the whole story? Write a homeowner story.
