1. What is the builder's reputation?

Research the builder's history and read reviews from previous buyers. CastleRock has been designing & constructing high-quality homes within nearly 300 communities since its inception, boasting 92% in customer satisfaction. Likewise, reputable builders will have a track record of quality construction and customer satisfaction.

2. What kind of warranty is offered?

Understand warranties provided for the home as well as what’s not covered under warranty. This can include structural warranties, appliance warranties, and more. CastleRock offers a 1-2-6-year warranty coverage for many vital components of your new home.

3. What are the standard features and upgrades?

Clarify what features are included and what upgrades are available. For example, some CastleRock floor plans offer covered patios, an extra bedroom, or a luxury primary bathroom upgrade complete with dual vanity. Knowing your options will help you budget accordingly and avoid surprises.

4. What is the estimated completion date?

Inquiring about the timeline for completion will help you plan your move and effectively manage realistic expectations. Most CastleRock homes take between 4-6 months to build. If you’re looking to move in quick, an inventory home may be the best option for you!
