3653.0. "Seek info on Lorden and/or Starter builders" by JARETH::MMEAGHER () Mon Mar 17 1997 19:16

I'm looking for information about the following two builders
in the southern New Hampshire area:

	1. Lorden
	2. Starter

Would appreciate any feedback, anecdotes, etc., whether positive 
or negative, based on experience readers of this conference may
have had with either of these builders.

Thanks in advance.

    I bought my house (in Brookline, NH) from Alan/Louise Lorden. All in
    all, I have had a pleasent experience dealing with them.  The house was 
    already built when I signed the purchase agreement, but still had some 
    work.  No negative experience to report. I recommend them.
    Good luck,
    Irfan Ugur

    If the builder that you are reffering to is Dana Lorden, then stay 
    away. He has had a lot of financial problems lately (note the he is
    being forclosed on in one of his new houses). Also, the work that I 
    have seen that he recently completed was poor. Check out Standish
    Way in Amherst. You'll find 2 of his houses there, both in sad shape.
    
    Loiuse Lorden is a real-estae agent that I bought my land from. She
    is nice and very easy to work with. As far as I know, she has nothing
    to do with new construction.

    Alan Lorden is different from Dana.   I cann't venture an opinion on
    his craftsmanship, but I do believe the brothers work on different
    projects.
