Selecting a Builder/Remodeler
All builders and remodelers in Texas are required to register with the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) if they build new homes or work on an interior remodeling job that either costs $10,000 or more or that —regardless of cost — changes the square footage of the home’s living space. Registration includes a criminal background check and requires builders and remodelers to provide a set of minimum warranties for their work.
Before hiring a builder or remodeler, consumers should ask for proof of registration or contact the TRCC to make sure the builder or remodeler is a reputable, registered business.
Consumers should always ask for references when hiring a builder or remodeler. It is also a good idea to contact the local chamber of commerce or Better Business Bureau for more information about anyone who may work on a home, even if they do not have to register with the commission.
Registered builders/remodelers should have a commission-issued registration certificate or wallet card to verify proof of registration. Additionally, the commission has an online searchable database to verify builder/remodeler registration. The database contains all current registered builders' and remodelers' names, DBAs, cities and registration numbers and can be found at:
www.trcc.state.tx.us.
Consumers may also verify a builder/remodeler's registration by calling (877) 651-TRCC.
