I've heard more than my fair share of horror stories when it comes to someone hiring a renovation contractor or builder.

Here's an excerpt from a Q&A that Daniel Builders (would recommend by the way) recently did with Taylor Lyles, VP of the Home Builders Association of Greenville:

DB: Why have an HBA?
TL: Great question. On a local level the Home Builders Association educates both builder and consumer. We have an Approved Professional Builder program to help consumers identify quality, vetted builders, which also provides criteria for home builders and renovation contractors seeking to establish a good reputation.

DB: What qualifies a builder to be an Approved Professional Builder?
TL: We have some pretty rigorous expectations. Our builder members must be licensed, bonded, insured. Have been in business more than 1 year. Have ZERO outstanding liens and free and clear of major complaints within 1 year. Workers Compensation that is consistent with South Carolina State Law. All while using a written contract in all aspects of business with consumers. As we start looking into the future, we envision a continuing education for SC builders that will continue to ensure a high standard of quality.

DB: How can a consumer know they’re hiring a good builder?
TL: Right out of the gate make sure they are licensed and bonded. Make sure the builder provides a written contract. Too often we see “fly-by-night” contractors disappear with a $20K-$40K down payment. That’s completely avoidable and should never happen. The HBA is here to help the consumer vet contractors.

Of course, real estate is local and every market is different.

Home prices have increased significantly over the last year, which in turn has grown the net worth of homeowners.
