After finding his contact information on Angie's List and checking out his website, I contacted Mr. Westbrook by email on a Sunday afternoon and got a call from him the same day.  We agreed that he would stop by my home to discuss a Master Suite addition the following Thursday evening, which was the first time I was available. 

I am a former custom home builder and had a good idea about what I wanted, but I was looking for someone who had both the design and building skills to complete the project to my demanding standards.  When Mr. Westbrook arrived precisely on time in the pouring rain, I quickly realized that he knew exactly what he was talking about and his personality was perfect for the job.  Within about 5 minutes, Mr. Westbrook became Wally and I felt as if I had known him for years.

Several times over the next few days, we exchanged sketches of the proposed project and I was extremely pleased with the results.  With just a builder's sketch of my existing floor plan, dimensions from an appraisal and a few photographs that Wally took during our initial meeting, he was quickly able to create a 3 dimensional plan and elevation of my existing home which he used to design the new addition.

The scope of work included a major expansion of the covered porch and Master Bedroom, adding an adjacent 15' X 15' sitting room and adding a new pool bath.  Within just a few days, Wally submitted the preliminary design which was exactly what I had envisioned.  His plan matched the current design perfectly, and complemented the existing roof plan very well--which proved his expertise in both design and construction.   

After integrating a few ideas that I had provided and making some revisions that he had suggested, Wally prepared the final plans and elevations for the HOA and permit review.  From the first visit to the final review, it was obvious to me that Wally had the necessary skill set and commitment to do the job well and to meet my specific expectations.   It is rare to find someone these days who is so committed to his work, but Wally exceeded even my expectations. Overall, it was a real pleasure to do business with him, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is considering a major addition to their home.

"Called twice to request a quote for interior remodeling job.  Left messages both times and never got a call back.  Gave a C because no work was performed.
Common courtesy says either indicate on your voicemail that you are not taking on new work or call me back to let me know you are not interested.  Contractors need to realize they are wasting an extraordinary amount of the consumers time by not being responsive.  If they don't care about me as a potential customer why would I ever call for or recommend their services again.

Johnny Lopez has been involved in all facets of home building for over 45 years. He started roofing homes in the North Texas area in the late 60's, and framing, decking, and roofing homes in the Houston area in the early 70's. He was involved in building custom homes around Houston in the mid 70's. He continues to build in the Austin, San Antonio, & surrounding areas. Johnny has a solid working relationship with the same group of sub contractors, which include the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, & framing contractors for the past 15 years. They are experienced professionals & licensed contractors. Fierro is a small volume builder. This allows the builder to be on site during the building process the majority of the time. If a client wants to make a change to the plans they can be made on site without having to wait weeks for a meeting. We will work together with the client as a team to create a smooth transition between all phases of the build. Fierro offers a personalized approach.

"I have known Braden for quite some time and decided to work with him on my custom home in Wimberley. Although not as high-end as his area of expertise (my vision was for a barndominium), Braden and his team delivered an exceptional product that was within my budget. They advised me where to spend money to get the best return on my investment (countertops, fixtures, fireplace, etc.) and where I could get away with saving money without looking cheap (sheetrock finish, flooring, trim, etc.). Communication was always top-notch, and his pricing is very straight forward, which is hard to find in the construction industry these days. I not only left this project with a completed house that turned out way better than I could have imagined, but a life-long friend in my builder. Keep it up Braden and Birdhouse! Thanks again."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
