We encourage our customers full involvement in the home building process and we want your style and personality to show through in your home. We believe a well built home can provide a lifetime of happiness and comfort. Therefore, we use time tested practices as well as newest advancements in technology to create the highest quality and most energy efficient homes possible. We specialize in the design and construction of Lake homes, but we have built homes in all shapes and sizes. We want to build the home that meets your needs and expresses your own personal style. Owned and operated by father/son combination, Marcus and Zack Melton, Melton Builders is rooted in family and tradition. The company was founded in 1952 when Dean Melton, a master carpenter, began building custom homes in Navarro County. Soon his two sons, Marcus and Dennis, joined the family business and together they formed Dean Melton and Sons Construction. They built many homes in and around Corsicana. Dean's dedication to quality was well known around the community, as was his penchant for returning entire loads of lumber if it did not measure up to his quality standards. In 1992 Dean retired, leaving Dennis and Marcus to oversee daily operations of the business, which they renamed Generation II Home Builders. Before long, they began building homes on Richland Chambers Lake, Cedar Creek Lake, in Waxahachie, Ennis, Fairfield, Hillsboro and everywhere in between. In 2012, Dennis retired and Marcus and his son, Zack, continued in home building endeavors. As a third generation company, the business is now known as Melton Builders. The dedication to quality that was instilled by Dean so many years ago is as important now as it was then. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Remodeling - Home Additions - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Extensions - Energy-Efficient Homes ### Areas Served - Waxahachie - Corsicana - Rice - Retreat - Barry - Angus - Oak Valley - Mildred - Emhouse - Navarro - Powell - Mustang - Purdon ### Typical Job Cost $90,000 - 800,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Melton Builders | | Address | 216 B.

I’m sure a build never goes perfectly, but they were always transparent and honest with us. We speak very highly of Melton every chance we get! Thanks for being so accommodating and helpful, when you didn’t have to be. This is our retirement home and our friends and family love it when they come to visit. We decided to go with Melton because of the comfort level you presented. You made our dream house come true and we are greatly appreciated! Wish you all the best Eddie and Brandi!!! **★★★★★ — Shari Barrett, May 2019** > We had a wonderful experience working with Melton Builders (Gen. 3). We found them to be patient, flexible, and of good humor. All needed during a home building project. It is a stressful time filled with self doubt, but we came to have complete confidence in this team. We were fortunate to get to know many of the subcontractor who worked on our house. I must say, the Meltons put together a fantastic team! > > The Meltons build a high quality product. When something is not to their standards, they are immediately working to resolve the issue with the supplier. They stand behind their product and continue to be responsive even after the completion date. There have been surprisingly few issues and all issues have been minor. > > The actual build time did take longer than we expected, but then again, we received an inordinate amount of rain...and I mean constant rain. The Meltons did whatever they could to push the project along by laying down plastic covering in an attempt to keep the ground from being too saturated so the patio and sidewalk could be poured, to staying on top of the septic guys and concrete guys to get the job done. > > I would highly recommend Melton Builders to anyone looking to build a home. I feel I need to give a special shout-out to Heath (carpenter extraordinaire), Dawne (flooring and design), Kenny (electrical), and Nolan (cabinet maker), and the Conger family (plumbing). Each one of these subcontractors took the time to explain things to us and to make sure we received exactly what we wanted. > > If you are looking to build, consider Gen. 3 Melton Builders. I am very happy we did!! **★★★★★ — E K, July 2018** > Marcus and Zack Melton built a solid home for us. Each was a pleasure to work with, was responsive and was available to address our feedback during the building process. And most importantly, each demonstrated integrity in following-up to ensure the project was completed well. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Putman, June 2017** > If you want the job done right and on time Melton Builders is who you hire. We stayed in contact through every step from beginning to end. If I ever had a question it was answered. Our family had very particular needs and we were never told it could not be done. We were reminded time and again our home is custom built. If we could dream it up they would make it happen. We now live in our Dream Home that was built by our Dream Team Zack and Marcus Melton from Melton Builders. **★★★★★ — lakehousedesign, Sept. 2016** > Marcus and Zack Melton of Melton Builders were a pleasure to work with during the construction of our home on Richland Chambers Reservoir near Corsicana, Texas. During more than a year of planning, cost estimation, refining, and eventual construction, we worked closely to ensure our dreams for a home were fulfilled. > > The Meltons have been building homes in the area for multiple generations and are well respected among suppliers, subcontractors and craftsmen, and the financial community. Their strong ethical approach to business is vitally important in forging a relationship of trust. We came to expect outstanding quality in every phase of construction - from the SlabTech foundation (post-tenstion slab on 65 piers drilled 15 feet) to the raised-seam metal roof capping the project. > > The most satisfying aspect of using Melton Builders for this construction project was the friendship and esteem we built. I had the vision of the home we would build and I relied completely on the Meltons' advice and expertise. Their advice and know-how saved countless days of delays and unwasted funding. I will be forever grateful to them both. Thank you Marcus and Zack Melton! **★★★★★ — pabjbranson, Sept. 2016** > We chose Melton Builders to build our new retirement home at the lake and were very pleased with the entire experience. Marcus and Zack were very easy to work with and worked closely with us on every detail throughout the building process. While we provided the plans for the home, Marcus shared with us his many years of experience and knowledge to help us make adjustments to make the home even better and deliver a high quality product. Marcus did an excellent job of working with us and the subcontractors to coordinate the construction of the home. We really appreciated his easy going style. Zack provided constant communications to keep us informed, coordinated with us on many activities to make sure we were meeting our obligations, and worked closely with us on the selection and purchase of the products that defined our home. Despite challenges with the weather over several months, our home was delivered as promised from a quality perspective, as well as on time and on budget. Minor follow up issues arising after our move in have been addressed immediately and completely to our satisfaction. We would definitely call Melton Builders for any future projects. **★★★★★ — michaelwalker805, Sept. 2016** > Melton Builders built a custom home for us and their greatest asset was that they were able to bring our vision into reality. We had several special requests and they listened to our desires and were able to apply their expertise to make our requests work in accordance with basic building practices. the sub-contractors they used were skilled craftsman and the finished product exceeded our hopes. They kept on schedule and made sure we were included in every phase of construction. Since completion of their work, we had a few touch up requests and they responded immediately and met our needs without exception. We would recommend Melton Builders to anyone building their dream home or even remodeling their existing home. **★★★★★ — Jeff Robinson, Sept. 2016** > Marcus and Zack built a free standing 2 car garage with an apartment above adjacent to our house, which Melton also built 15 years ago. They were able to match the house exactly and it looks like it was built at the same time as the house. Their work is high quality and the garage is a beautiful and functional addition to our property. The job was done on time and on budget (except for a few changes/upgrades made by us, which they easily fit into the project). They kept us well informed on all activities and costs as the garage progressed and were just a real pleasure to work with. Overall, a great job by a great company. **★★★★ — houseideas4107, Sept. 2016** > Was new to the area and didn't know any builders. Chose Melton Builders from the internet. During the interview with them, I explained that I wanted to finish the house myself (to save costs.) They answered all my questions, did the prints, told me they would build to whatever stage of completion I desired. Family-owned and have a good reputation in the area. Construction was completed in specified time and budget. They checked on subs all the time and were easy to deal with if a problem came up. Recommend them to anyone wanting a honest construction company. **★★★★★ — luan\_do54, Sept. 2016** > This company has done our home perfectly beautiful. They take care everything in very detail and thoroughly. I would recommend them over and over again if any of my friends decided to live in this area. > > Very well done.
