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 check out my website. I have a lot of builders on there. I don't have all of them, but I am working on it.

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.
