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.

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

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
