Hello,
We are looking to build an inexpensive home on our 1/2 acre lot in the Seabreeze subdivision (Seacrest area). We're just starting to look for builders.

We're looking for a very basic house, single story, about 1200-1300 square feet. No fancy finishes...tile and carpet throughout, laminate counters...get the picture?

Can anyone recommend a reliable, competent builder who builds "affordable" homes?

Thanks!

Elena

Yeah, we looked into modular, including the StalWart built homes. The biggest problem they pose is with lenders. Most lenders put modular in the same category as manufactured (aka "trailers") and their interest rates are much higher. And, frankly, we haven't found the prices to be any lower than what contractors have been quoting us for site-built homes.

But thanks for the suggestion!

And hi Tsutcli. Thanks for the welcome to the 'hood. Yes, we're aware of the HOA requirements, and have spoken with one member of the architectural review committee already, so we know what's involved.

We're on Seabreeze Way, lot 4A. It's the cul-de-sac that's behind the Emerald Waters building.

Where do you live in Seabreeze?
We are on the Circle - phase 2

Yes, I know of an excellent builder. He has built several homes that you can view in our area. He is fair, trustworthy and builds a quality home. Call Brian at Seashore Builders, 685-3037.
