Building a new home is one of the largest investments most families will ever make. Choosing the right builder matters.\n\nI am a veteran and local Central Texas residential builder specializing in ground-up new home construction. We provide a straightforward, well-managed building experience focused on quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and attention to detail.\n\nWe manage projects from planning and budgeting through site work, foundation, framing, mechanical systems, finishes, final walkthrough, and completion. We keep our customers informed and involved throughout the process.\n\nWe are not focused on being the cheapest builder. We focus on building quality homes the right way and standing behind our workmanship with a minimum one-year warranty.\n\nWhether you have land and plans ready to build or are just getting started, we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your vision, budget, timeline, and next steps.

"Wally was able to take our general ideas for a sun room & turn them into a quality work of art.  His architectural knowledge & experience was extensive & his recommendations on hardware, materials of construction, best practices, etc. was impressive.  We went through several revisions as our ideas evolved & Wally was always patient, available & very professional.  His graphic systems allowed us to make revisions as we discussed the designs & see the results instantly in 3D views.  The level of detail was such that we felt we were standing in the new room.  Our Homeowner's Association indicated that it was among the best packages it had seen & approval was very quick.  We would highly recommend Wally."

"When I bought this house, it was was filthy, smelled horrible from outside even, was rodent and roach-infested. Counters, floors were wet and rotting. Everything had to be torn out and rebuilt. Now my home is beautiful. The bathrooms are lovely. There were no short-cuts or rush jobs, or anything left unfinished. I’ve had neighbors and friends who are in building and construction admire and compliment the high quality of the work done on my home. Most people who come in comment on the beautiful flooring, or the cleanliness of the walls and ceilings. I live in a quiet, gated community and there was never a complaint about a mess outside or noise. Very clean."

"If you have a leaky basement or are thinking about building a new house with a basement, don’t even consider using anyone except Willie and The Basement Kings. We rebuilt a lake house in 2012 that was destroyed in a wildfire, and the walkout basement flooded every spring. The builder spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it, but it flooded eight times in five years. I found The Basement Kings on Angie’s List, and Willie met me at the lake house the next day. He thoroughly inspected the basement and told me exactly what the problems were and how to fix them. Willie has an impeccable work ethic. He and his crew finished their work today. We have a lifetime guarantee that the basement will stay dry. He took photos of the work every day and texted them to my husband. It was hard, tedious, dirty work, but Willie takes pride in doing the job right, and his price was fair for the amount of work and materials involved. This guy eats, sleeps and dreams about basements. SO glad we hired him. You will be too!"

"Our remodel experience with Southern Oak was outstanding from beginning to end. Andres did an amazing job of communicating all aspects of the project from budget to final walkthrough. We could not be happier with the end results and would recommend them to anyone looking for a renovating experience with quality work completed in a timely manner."

" Chris and Matt have a great company. They were always professional. Always kept us informed and listened to our concerns. Fixed everything we did not like asap with no questions asked. Kept up with and pushed their crew to do the best job possible; which, turned out to be very good work! They even came back out after the job was completed when we ran into a few snags (it is a 1-2 hour drive).

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits.
