What makes a good home builder? The answer is, all the different parts of a house make a good home builder. Here's an example.

Take a look at some work done by the builder. Focus in on the painting and molding inside the house. Is all the molding in place, and is it tightly applied? Did the painters miss any spots in all rooms, stairways, and closets? Should you answer no to any of these, maybe you need to keep looking

Before deciding on a home builder for your next home, compare different builders, ask for references, and inform yourself about good home building practices.
