Third-Generation East Texas Home 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.
Black and white pricing
Detailed allowances and scopes, so you can choose home finishes without surprise change orders.
One Accountable Team
esign, drafting, permitting, and construction under one roof for predictable schedules and quality.
Site-Smart 3D Design
Walk it before we build it. Catch custom home layout and finish changes in a model, not after install.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
A custom home is a traditional house built around your floor plan, style, and finishes. A barndominium is a steel or post-frame shell with wide-open spans that can include a shop under the same roof. Custom homes lean into architecture and trim. Barndos lean into function and speed. We build both and help you pick what fits your land and budget.
Pick the right envelope and systems early. We commonly recommend high-performance insulation, a properly sized high-efficiency HVAC, and Low-E windows. These moves lower bills, control moisture, and keep the home comfortable year-round. If you want solar or smart controls, we’ll plan the rough-in now so it’s clean later.
Plan for design and permitting in the 6 to 12 week range, site work for 2 to 6 weeks, and 6 to 9 months of construction for a moderate custom home. Weather, labor, and specialty items can add time, so we set a clear schedule and build in a reasonable buffer.
Think about access, utilities, soil, and water. We look at topography, drainage, and setbacks. Near Toledo Bend or Sam Rayburn, we design for views and elevation and follow local rules so you avoid delays. We’re happy to walk a site with you before you buy.
Look for a builder who explains costs in plain language, shows recent work like the home you want, and keeps communication simple. Ask about supervision, scheduling, and how they handle allowances. We put it all on paper and keep you updated each week.
