Where do you find a Flagstaff builder?
Begin your search with family and friends who know people who have recently built homes. Professional organizations like your local Home Builder Association and Northern Arizona Building Association are also good sources of builders in your area. Ask a local real estate agent familiar with new home construction in your area. Drive around and note the builder's name on a project that appeals to you. Once you narrow down your selection, ask for references and estimates. Just remember that the lowest estimate is not always the best deal. General Contractors are required to have a licence in the state of Arizona.
How do you know who is a custom home builder?
There are two types of home builders-custom builders and production builders. Unless you decide to purchase a home in a new housing tract where the homes are built from a single, large volume production builder, you'll want to work with a custom builder.
