The fiance and I went looking at houses and we found Cretin builders. We really like one of their options based on price and ability to customize to our liking.
Does anyone have experience with them?
Do you have any builders that you would recommend?

I installed flooring for a general contractor that worked on salary. I was paid by the home owner(no 1099) and he was able to undercut other generals by $100k.

And if he's looking to save money, finding a builder that will do that might be an option for him.

do you remember the name of every gc you worked for? No glue it was bamboo, but I'll put down what ever someone pays me to.

He is a very nice guy. He showed the wife and I a house he was building. I can't wait for him to start on our house.

I've heard nothing but good things from the people that know him.


I'm actually glad you posted his name and that he's a great builder. It confirms what we were thinking
