Building your own home can be both extremely overwhelming and blissfully rewarding. Of course, the goal is to make sure the latter is most prevalent. There are certain ways you can be sure of this; the most important being choosing the right home builder for the job. With so many builders available, it’s hard to know whether or not you’ve found the right one. As we know this can be a daunting task, we’ve put together a small list of steps you can take in order to make sure you hire the right guy for the job: 1). Know what you want.

Because of how long it takes to really make a difference, this is not a yearly project. We usually recommend touching up or at least checking in every 3 years.
