Featured Reviews for Howard County, MD Home Builders

Mitchell & Best Homes
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Feb 3, 2015
“My wife and I purchased a new spec home from Mitchell & Best and we are thrilled with the quality and attention to detail. The house is amazingly tight, we had a gas line that was damaged during some construction on the street and were without gas for 5 hours. It was below 30 degrees and windy and during the 5 hours the house temp dropped 3 degrees from 72 down to 69. I highly recommend this builder.”
Signature Dream Homes
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Mar 29, 2018
“After interviewing many contractors, we selected Rick Oliver and Signature Dream Homes for our complete kitchen gut/remodel. It involved lots of tricky aspects due to the age of the house, but his team of professionals handled it all with no problem. We are delighted with the results and always get compliments whenever someone visits. Best of all, Rick is honest. despite facing hidden hurdles in the job, he never tried to rip us off with "change orders." You can trust him to do a great job at the price he quotes.”
The North Star Companies LLC

“The contractor was very knowledgeable and experienced in replacing of my front porch. The job was done in a professional and timely manner within a reasonable budget. Also, this contractor was hired again in August 2015 for addition work. Planning to hire this contractor again in 2016.”
Brockton Homes
Howard County, MD Home Builders
May 23, 2019
“Brockton Homes built our home 20 years ago next month. Everyday I walk in its like the first day. Quality workmanship and extra details that fit our lifestyle. We have never had any regrets. I would recommend this company unconditionally.”
Morse Contracting
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Dec 30, 2014
“Randy was an excellent home contractor to work with. From the initial design of the home to the post move in, he has been thorough, helpful, and committed to ensuring we received what the quality house we planned for. For example - during the design and estimation phase, he provided helpful advice regarding room dimensions with respect to balancing ducting requirements, and noted were initial architect drawings of door placements could cause limitations with respect to electrical switch placement. These were areas my wife and I would not have immediately picked up on. His price estimates were complete and clearly broken down so we could make trade offs when necessary. His firm estimates did not change and the allowances for internal options were reasonable. The project came in within the time frame originally given, even though a very cold winter delayed the start by almost 6 weeks. Scheduling of the initial phases went very well to allow a catch up and the later phases coming to align with the original estimates. During the project, randy provided helpful options and trade off information regarding porch & driveway material and design, exterior porch framing material (AZEK PVC), and wood floor providers to allow us to choose the look and quality we wanted within our price range. Randy had a good rapport with his other contractors as evidenced by his ability to provide efficient scheduling of the trades to allow fast progress after a delayed start. Post move in, he has been helpful in resolving minor issues such as paint touch up and a bathroom fan replacement. He is very professional and complete in his work, we would very much recommend him.”
Keystone Custom Homes
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Nov 23, 2013
“Building with Keystone was fast, efficient, and we love our home! Through the sales process, Keystone maintained availability and answered all questions and concerns in a professional and positive manner. Our work vs play lifestyle was considered before making a recommendation on which home to move forward with. During construction, I was given weekly projections for the building schedule. Because of their attention to timely details, we settled on time! Settlement lasted 20 minutes, keys were given, and we began moving into our beautiful home within the hour. We were thrilled with Keystone and recommend them to anyone that is looking to build a custom home and is met with service which exceeds industry standards.”
Keswick Homes
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Dec 14, 2017
“Constructed my custom build house. Very friendly & detail oriented. Assisted in each step of the selection process and provided the best value based advice.”
Viking Custom Homes
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Oct 4, 2016
“We were a little bit nervous before building our house. Viking really did a good job and made the building process very smoothly. Cary is very knowledgeable about constructions. We recommended his company to several friends.”
TailorCraft Builders, Inc.
Howard County, MD Home Builders
Oct 28, 2012
“TailorCraft has impressed us with their professionalism, quality and reasonable pricing over and over. We are on our second project with them, Rick and Aaron are knowledgable and responsive, and their crew is terrific. Our first project involved a floor to roof remodel of an old beach cottage, there were many unknowns when we started and lots of choices to be made along the way. TailorCraft consistently took the high road and helped us figure out how to make good choices, our home will easily last for another 75 years. I have worked with many contractors before, and there is often a moment where a lazy choice or a go cheap choice is made, that never happened with TailorCraft. The subs they used were also terrific, and we will use them again for general maintenance as needed. Our first job was finished on time and our current job looks like it will be too. Costs were reasonable and well explained, their online system for communication keeps all the details in one place and they always return phone calls. Thank you TailorCraft!”
