8 Questions To Ask When Choosing A Home Builder
Choosing a homebuilder is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. The right questions will tell you everything you need to know. Here is how Skogman Homes answers each one, backed by over 70 years and five generations of experience.
How long have you been in business?
Seventy years and counting
Skogman Homes has been building in Iowa for five generations. We have seen markets rise and fall, watched neighborhoods grow, and earned the trust of thousands of families along the way. Longevity is not just a number. It is proof.
Is your building process transparent? Will I know what is happening and when?
A clear process, from day one
We are upfront about every step. Our Building Process is clearly outlined so you always know where things stand, what comes next, and what to expect on your timeline.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
Industry-leading coverage for 10 years
Our 10-year warranty program covers everything from the foundation to the roof. We also schedule a 30-day and an 11-month walkthrough with a Skogman representative to address any questions before they become problems.
Can I talk to past buyers or tour a model home?
We encourage it
Visit our model homes, walk through finished spaces, and talk to real Skogman homeowners. We welcome those conversations because our customers are our best reference.
What is your team like?
Experienced, trained, and genuinely invested
Our team is made up of well-trained professionals who take pride in making the home building experience enjoyable. From your New Homes Consultant to your construction manager, the people at Skogman are here to make things easier, not harder.
Will you keep me in the loop during construction?
Regular updates, without having to chase anyone
Your construction manager will stay in regular contact throughout the build, keeping you current on progress and responding to questions promptly. You should never feel like you are in the dark about your own home.
Are your floor plans current? Do they reflect how families live today?
Designed for real life
Skogman floor plans are built around how people actually live today, with open living areas, generous storage, energy-efficient construction, plenty of natural light, and outdoor spaces worth using.
Are you a good business partner in the community?
