Braemar Construction LLC

Braemar built our custom home that was completed in June 2020. We mostly had a positive experience with them. I won’t talk specific people because it sounds like they have some that are no longer with the company so I’ll leave names out. Positives: We appreciated being able to bring in our own floor plan. They are one of the only ones in the area that allow this level of customization. They also had some great input on anything from architecture to the tile choices. We are mostly happy with the workmanship but I feel that Braemar used subpar subcontractors for some of the work. I don’t blame Braemar since I feel like they are at the mercy of who is available in our rural area. They also allowed us to do some of the work (road, well, trenching) on our own, which definitely save on cost so that was a plus! Cons: I feel like this can be said for any home building, but being able to stop by and check in during the build process is necessary. It’s always good to make sure the framers have the most current plans and that everything is measuring out correctly. I would also give some advice of not signing closing paperwork until all of your final walkthrough list is completed to your liking. I know we certainly felt antsy about moving in but after a year and a half of living in our home, we still have several items from our walkthrough (in June of 2020) that have not been fixed. A lot of things like our trim, cabinets and drywall were not up to our standards but hopefully Braemar makes it right (the pictures are of their current status). Overall, I would probably use them again if we had to build but I would definitely be more persistent about things being done right the first time. Update 02/06/22: Braemar has fixed a few of things on our list, but unfortunately they keep not getting back to us in a timely manner (if at all) to fix the rest of our items. A few of these items were on our final walk through list from 20 months ago. We are very disappointed in their communication and follow through at this point in time.
