Where can I find information on Houston Area builders?

We are considering purchasing a home built by Meritage Builders but have had a lot of trouble finding information about them (specifically home reviews). What is your oppinion about Meritage? Also, do you have any recommendations about where I can look up this information myself?

Hi Nicole, I have some clients that just built with Meritage and they gave them a perfect rating on the post build survey. The Texas Residential Construction Commission is also a good place to look for information. ...I have posted the website below. Good Luck!

You can find customer satisfaction ratings for the Houston area from J.D. Power. Meritage falls in the "about average" category for 2007. They also have a review with the Better Business Bureau for the Houston area. From my experience, I would consider a Meritage home, they build a nice product... but there may be other builders that you might also take a look at. One of my favorites is Village Builders (associated with Lennar). I would need to know areas and price ranges to give more specific information about additional builders to research and consider.
