Check out the following links to Public Records to learn more about local Builders with whom you are considering doing buisness:
- Some builders have filed bankruptcy and then started a new company under a different name. Do your research on the last company name as well as the new one.
- Some builders have a criminal history which can not be traced to the new company name. Search on the names of the major players in the company to know more about who will be in charge of building your home.
- Some builders are operating without a valid license due to losing their "qualifer" (licensed general contractor). Verify the builders qualifier is still employed with the company.
