East Texas Barndominium Builders
We design and build custom homes across East Texas and West Louisiana. Including Lake Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend.
We build around your life, not a template.
We make building an East Texas home as painless and surprise-free as it can be. From the first walk-through on your land, we listen for how you live and plan every room around that. You get 3D plans to test ideas early, black and white pricing that spells out allowances, and one accountable team that handles the work from slab to keys.
We plan for lake setbacks, soils, access, wells, and septic up front. We keep selections simple, meet weekly, and tie each milestone to inspections and clear draws.
No runaround.No guesswork.
Just a straight path from plan to move-in.

Features That Make Your East Texas Custom Home Last
Practical plans, durable materials, and efficient systems that fit lake life, retirement living, and rural properties.
Site-smart design
We start with your land and set elevations, drainage, and access the right way. Foundations, roof pitch, and window placement are tuned for views, sun, wind, and storms.
Financing friendly
Clean scopes and schedules make underwriting straightforward with construction-to-perm or portfolio loans. Draws match milestones, paperwork is organized, and the build moves without funding hiccups.
Communication that saves time
You get a simple selection schedule, weekly check-ins, and clear milestones tied to inspections. The approved plan is the plan the crews follow, which keeps progress steady.
Energy and comfort
High-performance insulation, right-sized HVAC, and Low-E windows keep bills down and rooms steady. Moisture control and ventilation protect the structure and finishes for the long haul.
Materials that last
Exterior packages are proven for humidity, heat, and sudden East Texas weather. Framing, flashing, and ventilation come from three generations of doing it right.
Floor plans that flex
We model storage, traffic flow, and sightlines in 3D so decisions are clear. Pocket offices, real pantries, and easy entries make daily life and guests simple.
