Thomas Dostal Developers is a full service builder, developer and remodeler. We build 32-38 homes a year. We have multiple remodels per year. Thomas Dostal Developers has access to preferred financing for our customers.
"I purchased a home from Randy Dostal in 2008 and was pleased. When I decided to have him build me another home I expected to be pleased. I have turned out to be VERY displeased. It was all going okay until after the build was completed and I closed on the loan. THEN, I found out there were multiple bills that were never sent to me after OVER 90 days later! Needless to say this put me in a very bad position. The contractors still have to be paid but the loan is closed. I got confirmation in writing that there were no more bills at completion and prior to closing on the loan. He misinformed me and one of the bills he NEVER sent to me, I had to get it from the contractor... After all this happened Randy Dostal refused to take responsibility for the mistakes or give any type of refund for the fee paid for building the house. Randy Dostal flat out made mistakes and does not care about correcting them. BEWARE: If you are looking to use Thomas Dostal Developers to build anything this could happen to you! Mistakes were made and there is no regard for correcting them or for the satisfaction of the client! It has been very disappointing! this whole thing put me in a really bad situation! I would recommend ANY other builders over Thomas Dostal Developers."

Home building services FAQs
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.
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.
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?
