Southeast Removal ServicesHe was already familiar with the property. Did an excellent job clearing it so that it looks like the rest of the neighborhood. Will definitely consider this company when it’s time to clear it to build. Thank you!
Barfield Ranch & Enterprises, LLCAppointments were made to deliver and install appliances and were changed without notice, so we would be waiting and there would be a no show. My builder or I would have to call to reschedule. The salesperson always gave the same answer - I didn’t know. I thought it was part of the job to...
Southeastern Appliances & MoreFantastic workmanship and customer service. We hired them to do our "dream" expansion to give our house a large Master bedroom and bath room along with a large walk in closet. All the crews for the specific task(electrical, plumbing, masonry) were all skilled in their craft and respectful of...
Robin Campbell BuildersVery punctual. They did a great job--were even able to get off some marks that were left from the builders. Very professional. Our windows have never looked so good!
Excellent job for everything needed at our personal home as well as Real Estate homes.
Just Lending a HandI meet Alan while looking online at houses, just prior to getting serious about purchasing a new home. Our previous home was in a distressed development and a low-ball builder had come in and was building sub-$300K homes right alongside our $500K home. Alan was extremely knowledgeable about...

Thomas Built is a full range, state-licensed general contractor providing expertise and management of all phases of residential and multi-family construction. From kitchen and bathroom remodels to home additions to brand new homes, we pride ourselves on quality and service. We also do much of our own work such as our own mill work and custom built cabinets.
"I contacted Thomas Built to see if they could construct a fireplace mantle and surround for us. Terry came out did some measuring and gave us a quote. We worked on fine tuning things and waited until they had a break in their major projects. Terry returned for final measurements after we had granite tiles laid. The fireplace was built and delivered within three days. My husband stained it and installed it to save on the cost. Couldn't be happier with the final project. It does take some flexibility to work with Thomas Built when a project is this small, but it's well worth it."

"My first interaction started kind of with suspicion, but I relied on good ratings on this site and other sites. Now after the house is complete I should have looked around how to spend over 700 k. They hired subcontractors from the very cheapest spectrum but billed me as if they hired the most expensive specialists. I had overages in most categories without any proof. The builder trend communication they use is confusing, slow and serves the builders interest only, they can edit it anytime too. So if you get quotes from Southernwood do not be happy, the price at closing would magically increase by many many thousands. My basement is already cracked as well as my driveway and I did not even move in yet. I have no water pressure despite spending over 20 grand on upgrading the well and having 70+ psi at well with 3hp motor and 100gallon per min supply. Blame game is ongoing. Too many flies in the ointment. I am sharing for you to make a more informed decision I wish I had. My next step with them will most likely be BBB, then complaint with the Consumer Protection then litigating. I am ready to spend another 15 grand on a lawyer."

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
Cons:
You have to make a LOT of decisions.
You will almost certainly deal with building delays.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
