Schlabach Builders
I haven't moved into the house yet. The house is all done just waiting on the landscaping to be finished. We have been going at this since January. They're just too good and nice. The house looks fine. There was a minor thing with a kitchen counter and they came over and took care of that.

Diyanni Custom Homes
AFTER LOOKING AT MULTIPLE BUILDERS IN THE AREA AND HAVING BUILT WITH DOMINION HOMES 4 YEARS AGO, WE DECIDED WE WANTED A LARGER HOME WITH A BIG YARD. DIYANNI HOMES OFFERED GREAT FLOOR PLANS AND THE WILLINGNESS TO CUSTOMIZE THEIR FLOOR PLANS TO OUR NEEDS. LISA WORKED WITH US THROUGH SEVERAL MONTHS AND OPTION CHANGES. DIYANNI BUILDS A QUALITY HOUSE THAT IS COMPETITIVELY PRICED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO PURCHASE OR BUILD A HOUSE ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF COLUMBUS, DIYANNI IS GREAT

REGENT HOMES
We sold our house in 7 days and didn't have a new home to move to. During the process of searching, we walked through a Regent model home. We instantly fell in love with the finishes and style of homes Regent builds. We started working with Dave on available lots and pricing of our home. Dave got us into the house we wanted on the lot we wanted and at within our budget. The entire staff is professional and friendly. They made the process stress free and easy. We still love the house and get compliments from friends, family and neighbors on the quality of work and finishes that Regent puts into their homes. When issues did arise, Dave and Jim were quick to respond and get the problems fixed

NAC CONSTRUCTION
NAC had the lowest quote and was the only company that proposed a solution that matched the style of the home. The were timely and professional. The addition looked wonderful and appeared as if it were an original part of the home.

DUFFY HOMES
DUFFY BUILDS A NICE HOUSE, BUT I THINK THEY ARE A BIT PRICEY FOR WHAT YOU GET. THEIR MODELS LOOK MUCH NICER THAN THE HOUSE WE GOT. THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I HAVE WITH DUFFY IS THAT THEY DON'T TREAT THE CUSTOMER VERY WELL. SPENDING OVER A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ON A HOUSE, I THOUGHT THE SERVICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER. THEY SEEMED ANNOYED EVERY TIME I WANTED TO CHANGE SOMETHING AND THEY TRIED TO NICKEL AND DIME EVERYTHING. MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT THE WORST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE BEST

Azeltine Homes
We got to go through the houses he is building now, which were very nice and showed his quality of work. He is professional and has been doing this his whole life. He does a lot of the work himself, which is important. He was able to answer all my questions, which was important. He is also easy to get a hold of

Aurora Industries
My experience was fantastic. Building the addition was excellent choice. Our family and pets were able to stay in our home while they took care of work. Their price was reasonable price and quality can't be beat. We have a home and garden tour every year and our home was on the tour and every one raved about it. They also added a master bath and bedroom, and added another half bathroom, and family room. They added a shower in our other half bathroom in the basement and renovated the whole kitchen

MI Homes Showcase Homes
OVERALL VERY PLEASED. BOB, THE CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR, IN REYNOLDSBURG WAS GREAT. HE DID A GREAT JOB ON THE HOUSE. ONLY SUGGESTION I HAVE IS THAT MI WORK ON THEIR BASEMENT LAYOUTS. I THINK SOME OTHER HOME BUILDERS HAVE BETTER DESIGNS IN THE BASEMENTS TO ALLOW FOR FINISHING IT LATER (IE: ENGINEERED FLOOR JOISTS, ETC...)

WESTPORT HOMES OF OHIO
It's a good quality home, It's been very energy efficient. They've kept up on everything. We are amazingly happy with the house.

Rockford Homes
It took about the right amount of time, but the house wasn't as clean of building debris off of the surfaces as we would have liked. They had to come back to clean up a lot of paint off the floors. Also wood floor we had installed is not the best quality - it keeps getting chunks kicked out of it. They blamed it on my dog, but I informed them that we had unfinished wood floors installed at our previous house, then they were stained and finished and we had no dog marks other than the natural scratches from everyday wear. The prefinished wood just isn't that great of quality. This is our first new build, so we didn't really know what to expect. Our one year repairs are coming up this month and our list for them included things like: drain spouts outside of house were all broken away from one another and the house; fireplace mantel is pulling away from the wall, not all electrical switches that we paid for were installed; water is coming into a living room window during hard rain, gouges in stucco; forgotten painting of a piece of outside trim; cracked door jamb in man door from garage. Not sure if these are typical for all new builds. The house is a nice style and very spacious and the neighborhood is great. Until we build again someday, we won't really know if these issues are typical or individual to Rockford

TRUBERRY GROUP
DURING THE BUILDING PROCESS, OUR HOUSE SAT WITH NO WORK BEING DONE FOR MONTHS, WITHOUT A VALID REASON. SOME OF THEIR SUB-CONTRACTORS HAVE MUCH TO BE DESIRED. HOUSE WAS NOT CLEANED TO MOVE IN CONDITION AT CLOSING. POST CLOSING PROBLEMS HAVEN'T BEEN ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MANY PROBLEMS IF I BUILT ONE OF THEIR MODELS BUT THIS BUILDER IS NOT A TRUE CUSTOM BUILDER. THEIR RESOURCES ARE LIMITED IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO DO VERY CUSTOM FEATURES

DOMINION HOMES
We never intended to buy a new home but we always loved to go looking at the model homes around town. Then one day I met Meg. She worked in the Dominion model in Hilliard and we became friends. I was honest with her that we didn't plan to build a house any time soon, and that we were trying to move out of town, but when we did that we wanted to have some ideas about what sort of house we would like to build. Meg sent me to another Dominion neighborhood to see a home that she thought I would like based on my conversations with her. I fell in love with the house, so we did a mock up of what it would cost to buy that house in different locations in Columbus. It was just a dream at this point, but then a "sale" happened and the house that was out of our price range suddenly became more of a reality, and within two weeks we were picking out cabinets and surfaces. This is a huge deal - buying a home! HUGE! But Meg made the process really easy. Deciding on upgrades, she was very helpful and not pushy. She stuck with us the entire time helping us with anything we needed. Going to bat for us with moving the plot plan, helping get us in the house sooner than planned so we didn't have to do a temporary rental once we sold our existing house. She got us all the discounts that we qualified for, even changing our contract two times because we figured out we qualified for other discounts. I would buy another home from Meg in a heartbeat. We have been in our home almost 2 years now and we love it! Dominion did a great job! And so did Meg

ROMANELLI & HUGHES BUILDING CO
When we did the final walk through, there was NOTHING that needed to be done! I couldn't believe it! They put the same quality in the lower priced homes as they do with the million dollar homes. It was a joy to build with them! Mr. Romanelli has an impeccable reputation!

Beacom Construction Co LLC
I contacted Aaron at Beacom construction about getting a quote for building a new home. The initial meeting we discussed the type of home and where we own the land on which to build the home. We also provided a basic layout of the house. We meet the next time to discuss changes to the floor plan and other requirements such as a zero step garage and interior doors wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Aaron then took those and contacted a person who drew up the plans. We meet with Aaron one more time to make some minor changes to the plans. He had the changes incorporated and returned them to us for our approval. The charge up to this point is $500 for the plans and that will be credited back if we decided to build with his company. Currently he is in the process of getting us a quote based on the updated plans. Aaron has been very professional and has been a pleasure to work with. Update 8/11/2015 When Aaron came back with the quote for completting our house he gave us some additional options that we considered. Once the decision was made to continue, Aaron supplied the paperwork that was requested by the bank issuing the construction loan. Aaron took care of obtaining the necessary permits and we have very little involvement in the permit process. I was retiring at the end of June 2015 so we asked Aaron if he could complete the house about the same time. He started in November 2014 and was able to complete the house on the requested date. In order to complete the house on the requested date there were times when he slowed the building process so as to not have the home finished too early. During the construction process I visited the site about ever other day and took lots of pictures. If I had any questions Aaron was always quick to provide an answer. We made some minor changes during the process but nothing major. We changed a couple door swings, added some additional electrical outlets and moved some light switches. Aaron provided the needed samples for flooring, plumbing fixtures, etc. He had us go to a supplier to look at floor tile, wall tile and also some laminate flooring. We picked out what we wanted and developed the design of the tile for the shower, bathtub wall tile, and a design behind the kitchen range. In the end his crew did what we wanted. We were also given a budget for the lighting and we went to a showroom to pick out the lighting fixtures. Some features we asked for was zero steps from the garage into the house, zero steps from the from the porch to the house, no step up/over to get into the master bath shower and almost all doors to be 36 inches. He was able to accomplish all these requests. I was genuinely impressed with all Aarons crews that worked on the house. I never saw any of them slacking off. They were friendly and always willing to answer any questions I asked. The quality of the work was outstanding and should I ever build another home, Aaron will be the first person I contact. He was always honest with his answers to my questions and followed through on researching any question that he couldn't answer immediately.It was a pleasure working with him on our new home. Just before the house was completed I had Aaron add a 14 x 18 deck and they did a beautiful job. We have been in the house for a couple months now and couldn't be happier

M/I Homes Inc
A couple of the cement blocks in my basement cracked when they were building my house and I was going to cancel. They assured me they would fix it and it would not be a problem. They also put drylock and wrote that the basement would never have a problem. The driveway had a dip after a year, they fixed it and it dipped again. It was hard to get the grass to grow. They were suppose to sod the whole yard and they said it would not grow because of my trees in the back and so they planted grass seed

TUCKERMAN HOME GROUP
In a nutshell it did not go well. There are too many details to give all of them. But to summarize the situation from our point of view we paid over $473,000 to have a custom house built and it is our contention that the house in some very important areas was not built as we asked. In addition, the entire process was flawed since we were allowed to meet with the architect only once and never with the electrician. We did not receive the blue prints to approve until after the house was framed and roofed and they were not in fact 100% in agreement with the blue prints that were approved by the City of Gahanna. Other issues include asking for a wheelchair accessible first floor house with most doorways a 36 inch width. We did not get that in the master closet. We told the salesperson we wanted a wider garage so that the Ford Mustang we owned could be in the one car garage and you could open the driver's door fully. We did not get that. We asked for a decorative natural gas fireplace and got a fireplace that is producing heat that is ruining the mantle and LED TV that are above it. The fireplace is also taking oxygen out of the room and putting in carbon dioxide since it is not vented. We do not contend that the house is built poorly, but rather not to our specifications given to the salesperson and that the process was severely flawed in our case. After 20 months of living in the house the builder still is refusing to do anything about the important items. Routine items were handled fine as maintenance man Phil is great. However nothing has been done for months with the stalemate on the major issues

LIFE STYLE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
You are in good hands when you work with LC team. Megan Kelly= She is a realtor who represents LC. Who we believe the best realtor in town. Don= Warranty and QA guy. He answered all my questions and took care issues we found (Minor, Cosmetic) Greg= Super intendant. He was on top of everything. We built several homes in US in the past but never had a good experience until we met this winning team. Solid house, solid quality and solid team. We love this builder so much so we bought 1 town house from them in 2012, 1 single home in 2013, and have a plan to buy another within few years. MI and Dominion homes are OK, we owned one before but why we have to buy OK house when I can buy the BEST from LC

Woodbridge Custom Builders
I was extremely pleased with Paul. The work was done on time and on budget. All of the subs he used were courteous and reliable. A reflection of Paul's character. Paul was very much on top of everything going on and always available. Even when there were problems, which happens in older homes, he was very prompt in resolving them. I would trust him with my home. I did, and I would do it again

Silvestri Group LLC
We were very happy with the quality of their homes and the ability to customize each option. They had many homes to choose from. We would have liked to have had the ability to walk through more homes to see the options available, however, they are not a track builder and so they did extend the offer for us to see homes under construction. The quality is oustanding! The housing market is really picking up...so the response time was a little slower than we hoped for. The pricing also has recently increased...as expected for an upswing market. We would recommend this organization based on what we experienced from them

REGENT HOMES
My husband and I did our research before choosing a builder. We had heard about Regent's great reputation, but were even more impressed when we had a chance to meet Dave in-person. Regent is all about providing quality and value by doing things the right way, the first time. . We had a chance to meet other Regent homeowners before beginning the building process. Everyone we spoke to confirmed what we suspected: Dave has very high standards when it comes to his work, and those are reflected in every detail of a Regent Home. Dave's pricing of the homes was spot-on. He provided us with his cell phone number in the beginning and were assured that he'd be available if ever we needed him. We didn't, thanks to his remarkable staff. . Sarah, who works in the office, responded to my e-mails so quickly that I had to ask her to stop responding on weekends because I wanted her to enjoy her time with her family. She kept us updated as we made changes to plans and was infinitely helpful in helping us keep track of how much everything was going to cost (and the estimates were always right on the money). Jim, who is the general superintendent, is truly a Jack-of-all-Trades, and has helped us even after we have closed on the house to make sure that everything is just right. In Jim's absence, Ryan, the project manager, responded to my e-mail within 15 minutes on a Sunday afternoon to let me know that he would address a concern I had 1st thing on Monday morning. Everything was resolved by 9am. Stephanie helped us choose the fittings and colors for our home. When we weren't sure what we wanted, she helped us make selections that were beautiful and true to our style. We really feel like our house reflects on who we are. . The exacting quality Regent Homes represents is so evident that we are continually complimented about the beauty of our home. Even as little things have come up (as they always do with new builds), Regent is right there to make things right, right away. When they cannot solve a problem directly, they help us follow-up with the appropriate people to make sure that the job gets finished right away. Quality is never compromised to save a few dollars in building costs, and it shows. . Although I do not think we'll be moving for a very, very long time, I would build another house with Regent in a heartbeat. I could not be happier with my new home

Home Builders Near Me FAQs
On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:
Location of your home and the living cost in the area
Type of foundation and framing you choose
Quality of the building materials
Footprint and layout of the house
Number of stories
Builder’s experience
Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.
Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.
Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:
How long do you expect the process to take?
Are you fully licensed and insured?
How much of the work will you subcontract?
Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?
How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?
How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?
How much experience do you have?
Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.
For many aspiring homeowners, building a home will be one of their biggest investments. Here are a few questions to ask:
How much do home builders near me cost?
Most homeowners spend an average of $289,142 building a new house of about 2,000 square feet. The actual cost will depend on specific preferences - you could end up paying between $150,177 to $428,107. Fully customized homes often range between $350,000 to upwards of $1 million. Prefabricated homes are more convenient and affordable options, costing between $50,000 and $300,000.
What factors will affect the price of my new home?
- Material costs: influenced by size and shape.
- Labor: an hourly cost of contractors, architects, land surveyors and more.
- Location: the area of the country, accessibility, transportation costs and more.
What is a modular home?
Modular homes are prefabricated in sections or modules at a production site. After production these "modular" pieces are then transported to the building site.
What exact services do home builders provide?
Home builders are more than general contractors who are responsible for coordinating home construction. As a general contractor they play an important role in working with subcontractors in order to bring a final project to life.
What else do builders near me do?
Builders may also work on specific areas of the home, such as the floors, roofs, or outer frames. The home builder you work with will play a role in determining the final cost of many different parts of the project. Some home builders also offer land surveying, land development, home decor/design and even home loans.
What questions should I ask a home builder?
- What type of homes do you build?
- Can you give me a detailed estimate of the entire project?
- Which appliances and features can you include?
- Are you licensed and insured?
- How long will the project take?
- Do you belong to the National Association of Home Builders?
Make sure your home builder is aware of your specific design preferences, maximum budget and the type of home you desire. A custom home allows specific features that you desire. However, keeping track of the costs associated with building a home can easily become overwhelming. It’s important to take a step-by-step approach when building a home in order to understand the builders’ cost and other associated expenses.
