Top Questions to Ask Your Home Builder Before Signing

Choosing the right home builder is one of the most important decisions in the home building journey. The builder you choose will determine not just the quality of your home, but also how smooth the process feels from start to finish. Before signing a contract, here are the key questions you should always ask.

1. How long have you been building homes in this area?

Local expertise matters. A builder familiar with Maryland and Pennsylvania knows which materials and designs work best for the climate.

2. What’s included in the base price?

Make sure you understand what’s standard and what counts as an upgrade. This prevents surprises later.

3. Can I see examples of your past work?

A portfolio or model home will show you the builder’s craftsmanship and style range.

4. Who will be my main point of contact?

Communication is key. Know who to call with questions during the building process.

5. What kind of warranty do you offer?

A strong home warranty shows that the builder stands behind their work.

6. What’s the estimated timeline?

Get a realistic idea of how long the build will take, keeping in mind that weather and supply chain issues can affect schedules.
