How It Works
All the info you need - portfolio, reviews, credentials - in one place so you can decide with confidence.
Builders with the Homebuilder Guild Verified Badge pass a multi-point audit for license, reputation, and real-world project quality. If they made it in, they earned it.
Our Verified Builders are licensed, insured, and vetted for quality. When you see the badge, it means that builder meets the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and accountability.
A Verified Builder is a licensed, insured custom home builder who has passed our compliance audit and earned the HomeBuilder Guild’s Preferred Business Badge. This badge signals trust, quality, and safety to homeowners—and floats their profile to the top of the directory.
Every builder submits proof of business license and active insurance. We review their credentials and do a quick health check on their website. Once approved, they receive a tamper-proof badge for their site and get top placement in our local builder directory.
7 in 10 homebuyers say they’re more likely to contact a builder who displays a third-party trust badge. Verification also reduces your risk, because you’re hiring someone we’ve already vetted.
Not always. But it does mean safer ones. Every Verified Builder is actively licensed, insured, and operating in good standing. Many also include project photos, customer reviews, and years of experience you can browse directly on their profile.
We re-verify builders annually to ensure all credentials stay current. If something changes—like lapsed insurance or complaints—we’ll remove the badge until the issue is resolved. That’s how we keep the badge meaningful.
Building a custom home is one of the most significant investments you'll make. Our directory helps you find experienced custom home builders who understand local building codes, have established relationships with suppliers, and can bring your vision to life within your budget and timeline.
