We were still in awe about how much we learned about both Builder B and Builder D in our reference check process…definitely worth the time invested. And of course, based on that little exercise, we were now definitely leaning towards Builder B. One of the reasons that we weren’t initially “sold” on Builder B was because he really didn’t sell himself. You could tell that both he and his dad were genuine, and that they would build you a quality house, but they weren’t very outspoken about themselves and their work. So, although they didn’t brag about their work – their references did and that really filled in the missing piece of the puzzle for us.

After the references, we really sat down and discussed making the decision to use Builder B. We had an overwhelming reaction – of course we should use him…let’s do this. So we called Builder B and asked a few more questions (geez we have a lot). We hung up, discussed our thoughts on Builder B’s responses to our questions and called him back to ask one more question…if he wanted to be our builder! And he said “uh, yeah”! We were so happy that Builder B – Matt Ruttan from Ruttan Construction said yes and that he’ll be building our house! We really feel like he’s going to be a great builder for us, exactly the type of person that we want building our dream home.
