DISCLAIMER:  just like every homeowner, no two contractors are alike.  Fine Line Home Design makes no guarantees that you will find your perfect fit from this list.  The above builders represent a fraction of contractors in the area, but they are all builders with whom I or my clients have had a positive experience.  It is the clients' responsibility to choose their builder, and FLHD receives no compensation from any builders for referrals or for inclusion on this list. Remember, I am a small business who interfaces regularly with other small businesses. Many of these companies have no secretary or receptionist, so you may need to wait longer than you’d like for a return call. You’ll notice that several don’t have fully developed web presences, which is because they have no time left over between swinging a hammer and returning calls to update their content or otherwise maintain their site. Don’t take it as a reflection on the quality of their work, as many of them have a waiting list of clients. The best builder I ever met didn’t even have a business card!
