For your next custom home or remodel, consider Monty Anderson. Home builders are a dime a dozen, especially in busy growing markets like Jacksonville, Orlando and Gainesville. Anyone looking to build their new dream home or remodel their existing home has full battery of choices. But not all homebuilders are the same when it comes to quality, price and easy working relationships. When choosing a home builder, Monty Anderson Construction Group offers some advice:

1. Know your vision and your budget for your new custom home or remodel, but be open to new ideas. When your vision is clear, you’re better able to communicate it to your home designer. However, homebuilding trends are ever-changing. At Monty Anderson, our home builders, designer and drafters often can suggest options that will better meet your needs and / or save you money. Ultimately, the choice is yours, of course.
2. When searching for a builder in your area, check resources such as the National Association of Home Builders. Members of professional organizations often must prove that they are legitimately involved in a particular line of work and have a high satisfaction rating among clients, as well as a clean record with regulatory agencies. Monty Anderson, home builders for more than 30 years, is a member of the NAHB and its National Remodelers Council. Monty Anderson also is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an A+ rating – the highest possible.
3. Once you’ve narrowed down your choices of home builders, Monty Anderson recommends you first verify that each is currently licensed with your state’s department of business and professional regulation (click here for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation), then gather first-hand references. Ask builders for the addresses of homes that they’ve recently built or remodeled. Drive by on a Saturday morning, when homeowners are likely to be relaxing at home, or outside gardening. Tell them that you are considering hiring the same home builder and ask how satisfied they are with their home and with their building or remodeling experience. If they’re happy, they’ll let you know. If they’re unhappy, they’ll REALLY let you know and tell you why. Bring along a notebook to jot down notes.
4. Visit a home builder’s model homes and pay close attention to details such as bathroom and lighting fixtures, crown molding, doors and windows, as well as the functional and creative use of space. Ask lots of questions.
5. Get written estimates from several home builders to ensure you’re getting a fair price. And once you’ve chosen a home builder or remodeler, get every last detail of the project and price in writing.

Unlike many home builders, Monty Anderson wants you to be actively involved in the entire decision making process from concept to completion. The only time you’ll be surprised is when you realize just how far we’ve exceeded your expectations while remaining within your budget.
