New to Texas. First time building a home from the ground up. The staff at Caledonia Builders made it possible for us to build our dream home on a beautiful lot in a great city. The outcome after a lengthy process, due to the pandemic, was Caledonia building us a beautiful home. Even with the shortages, the craziness, and the headaches 2021 gave us, the staff at Caledonia remained committed and honored our contract. They provided us an excellent customer service experience. The Sales Manager, Rich, was easy to talk to and he kept us informed during the process with the good and the bad, not too

Caledonia Builders are AMAZING. They are the builder you've never heard of that everyone should know. I mean seriously, working with Caledonia has been a pleasure, especially with COVID. Building a home is already stressful enough without a pandemic. And, as a first time home builder with NO real estate agent, let me say that again, NO real estate agent/first time home buyer, I just can't say enough about them. The whole team from the Owner, to the Construction Manager Jared Bays, to the sales rep Rich Daugherty, to the Design Team, they really know and care about their customers

Everyone should run not walk, but run to this builder. We were first time new home buyers when we moved to Texas. We settled on an area to live, Bastrop County and were looking at several builders. We looked at Caledonia and saw what they had to offer. We then looked at the other builders on site, and saw that what Caledonia offered as standard features, the other builders considered "upgrades", and charged more for them. An example we got a 3 car garage, where the others builders charged for that upgrade. Also some builders charged a premium for EVERY lot they sold. Caledonia

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this builder. They are incredible. Not only do they let you make any customizations we could possibly dream of to our floor plan at incredibly fair prices, they follow all of it up with the best service. Rich was incredible to work with in sales and made sure we had all of the information needed to pick out our lot and floor plan. He also exceeded all my wildest expectations in the service department. After seeing a few of the other options other Caledonia had, we asked for a few changes after construction began and Rich went to bat for us to ensure we

This is the third builder home I've built from dirt. The sales process with Rich was seedless. Once contracts signed it was off to the design center where we customized the home. Caledonia gives customers higher quality items standard. We didn't have to upgrade cabinets or countertop most of our design $ were on flooring and hardware upgrades.
Jared the construction manager could not have been more responsive to my questions during construction. Construction took a bit longer than planned due to weather but we've been in 8 weeks and love our New Caledonia home.
