    Can anyone provide a brief opinion/rating of home builders within DFW? Best-to-Worst?

    Hi Steve,

    The best home builder/general contractor I know is:

    Make Ready Specialists
    contact Phil Loesch
    817-495-3224

    Phil rehabbed a 3500 sq ft house in Keller for me (1980's house, 4/3/2 with a barn and other horse facilities, appraised at $342k post-rehab) that needed full updates and repairs ($55k job, and that was a good deal considering the amount of work).  He took that house from trashed to immaculate in about 2.5 weeks.

    He also did a full rehab for me on a lower-end property in Ft Worth that was trashed and crumbling (post-rehab appraisal is $75k).  For $22k, he did a great job restoring the property, and the new resident is still mailing me letters to thank me for the beautiful home at a great price.

    Phil has also done plenty of other excellent work for me that I could go on about.  And he's a full-service guy, i.e. I don't need seperate contacts for HVAC, plumbing, etc.  Of course, these examples are only rehabs and not new builds, but he could do that kind of work for you as well.

    Hi Jesus - I know it's been a while but I just wanted to get back to you and say Thanks for the input. I do know Phil, I've seen lots of his work. Actually I was seeking input on "home builders" such as Pulte, DR Horton, Huntington, Fox & Jacobs etc,  and ranking them in order of their overall construction quality. Thanks again!  

    Steve
