VanGorder Contracting & New Homes

We shopped around for over a year before we met Mark through a listing he had for one of his new builds. Mark made me comfortable immediately and made me feel confident enough to embark on a new build. I had always been terrified of the idea of building because every time we have met with builders we priced out of the home long before we were able to get even our list of must haves. We had a long list of desires we wanted in our new home but frankly I doubted we could afford to add the majority of the wish list because other builders charged SO much for every change. The costs that Mark quoted were very reasonable, especially with the increase in prices over the last couple of years. We were able to add everything on our wish list and found new things along the way that just made sense. I

Not well thought out and poorly executed. He planted our septic tank in the middle of our back yard instead of the side instead of where it was on our plan for an unexplained reason. If he couldn’t put it where it was on the plan, he shouldn’t have put it where it was in our plans to begin with. He could have asked if we wanted it somewhere else instead of deciding for himself. Several walls aren’t straight, the back yard is washing out and he refuses to bury the downspout even though he buried 3 others, several tiles are uneven, even after repair, there’s a soft spot in the tub in less than a year and he tried to fix it with spray foam and JB weld and he’s just plain unprofessional. Modelo cans all over the job site during the build. All of this was explained in an email, but he chooses t

We had VanGorder contracting build a home in Lake Caroline for my mother. The process was very easy and Mark made the transition easy from the initial lot choice, home design, to closing. The home was built very well in my opinion, especially the framing portion. He asked us where we wanted coaxial cables, receptacles etc and walked the property with us several times throughout the build process. They even finished the crawl space and didn’t up charge us. His team also checked on my mother several times after she moved in to ensure she was happy with the build. I typically do a lot of home repair/maintenance on several properties but this home has pretty much been maintenance free for us. I will be having him build us a home in the near future as well. Very good experience working wit

Just moved into my new home. So far everything has been great. I was initially impressed with the quality of materials that Mark uses. You can certainly spend a lot more and get a little better, but comparing his builds to some of the bigger, development type builders it is night and day. Quality shingles, good brand HVAC systems, real hardwood floors and tile, the list goes on. He delivered right on time too. So far, I only had a few really minor problems that I missed during the pre-delivery walk through. One text message and 2 days later, they are all fixed. No arguing, no it's not my problem, just fixed. One of which was the dishwasher. In my experience, most contractors would gladly hand you a copy of the manufacturers warranty and tell you good luck. Not these guys. I had

My wife and I had a consultation with Mark VanCorder. Not only was he very cool to deal with but he was very informative. We look forward to working with him and his company in the future.
