If you are planning to build a new home, you know you need to hire the right builder for the job. Choosing a reputable builder with an established track record is critical to getting the house of your dreams. The key is trust. There are many qualified builders who take home construction seriously. They are business people who know that they have to earn your trust and work to keep it. They understand that their unstinting commitment to your project is the only way that’s going to happen.
In addition, to asking for and checking references, appropriate licensing, and insurance, qualify your builder by asking if home building is his or her full-time business. Some new homebuilders work part time. While they may be perfectly honest, they may not have the commitment to quality construction, adhering to schedules and budget, or warranty capability that a full-time committed professional would have. Also question how long he or she has been in business, how many homes he or she has built, the length of time he or she has been in business.
Another important question to ask is if he or she is a member of a builders association and if so, which one. You can check to see if the builder is in good standing with his professional peers. Often the builder’s associations require members to adopt an ethical code as a condition of membership.

The continental ice sheet once covered the entire state, scraping the mountains, eroding intervening upland areas, and rerouting water courses into precipitous streams and beautiful lakes. Across the north central part of the state the residual White Mountains of the Appalachian chain form ranges abruptly broken by passes (called notches). Between the Carter-Moriah Range and the Presidential Range in the east, the Ellis River drops 80 ft (24 m) through Pinkham Notch. West of the Presidential Range (which includes Mt. Washington, highest peak in New England at 6,288 ft/1,917 m), the cascading courses of the Ammonoosuc and Saco rivers divide it from the Franconia Mountains at Crawford Notch.
