Custom builders in Tucson

The Tucson custom home market has seen many changes over the last few years. The housing crisis took its toll on many custom builders in Tucson. Custom builders in Tucson who were poorly positioned in the market before housing took a downturn generally slowed thier operations or retreated from the industry all together.

Fotunately there are still a few great custom home builders in the Tucson area. As you evaluate custom builders in Tucson, be sure to actually visit some of the work they have recently completed and get references of past clients. Pictures only go so far in helping you determine the quality that will go into your future custom home.

Look for a builder who is established. Outstanding custom builders typically dont run their operation out of a 'starbucks' or the tailgate of a pickup truck. Find a builder that has a showroom or show house where they can demonstrate what will go into our home. While you may save money by going with an unestablished builder, it might end up costing more than you had ever imagined.

Make sure your builder has familiarity with the building method you are interested in. While most of the custom homes in Tucson are constructed with wood frame and stucco, there are builders that specialize in alternative construction methods.
