About Build Safe Escrow

We’re Here to Protect You

Did you know that the U.S. spends nearly $500 billion per year on home remodeling and renovation projects? But property owners can lose everything if their contractor bails, while contractors don’t have the time or means to take property owners to court if they don’t pay for improvements. Build Safe Escrow started after a disastrous remodel left us with an expensive mess to clean up. We vowed to make the process better. We believe that property owners should enjoy peace of mind knowing their project is protected from fraud or mismanagement and that contractors deserve to get paid on time and in full at the different stages of the project. 

It’s not rocket science, it’s construction escrow.

Construction Escrow puts all the funds for a project safely in the hands of a trusted third party (that’s us). We prepare an Escrow Agreement which is approved by all parties involved, and then release the funds in draws as each milestone is reached. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Upon request, we can also help vet property owners and contractors with a simple background check (which reveals civil lawsuits and claims against parties) to ensure everyone on board is on the up and up. From there, our construction escrow account mitigates risks of mismanagement and non-payment.
