Green Building Companies in Rockwall

“Chris completely remodeled our master bathroom; It involved removing the vanity tops and sinks, modifying the counters to increase storage, removing the old small stand - alone shower and turning it into a closet, tearing out the whirlpool tub and replacing it with an extraordinary large walk-in shower with frameless glass door and wall. He also removed an octagonal shaped window and replaced that with a 4" x 4" glass block window that brings daylight into the shower. The floor was replaced with ceramic tile that matches the shower, a new vanity top was installed with new sinks and hardware and the whole place re painted. It's been over 2 years now and it still looks like new and we enjoy it every day. It was well worth the time it took to get the job done. We chose the best quality materials money allowed and it turned out to our satisfaction. M & W Simard”

“We carefully interviewed several builders before we selected Kevin Jackson and his team at Train Custom Homes. Building your dream home on a raw, unimproved piece of land without water or utilities is at best a daunting task, and we’re thankful and blessed that we picked a partner like Train. As discriminating clients, we appreciated Kevin’s integrity and high level of building expertise. He is very thoughtful, extremely honest and very passionate about what he does. First and foremost, Train will build a quality home with “great bones”. They utilize superior and innovative building materials from the foundation to energy efficient insulation and HVAC systems. We participated in every stage of our build, and know that we have a structurally superior house. With Train, your home is engineered to stand for a lifetime. Kevin helped us translate a vision, some sketches and a portfolio of curated photos to a set of architectural plans, and then executed those plans with incredible workmanship and attention to detail. That level of service remained consistent throughout our entire build and even after we moved in, with Train making whatever small adjustments were required. From a design perspective, Train is a true “custom” homebuilder. Kevin has the creative ability to fuse traditional, rustic Texas ranch or farmhouse structures with modern, contemporary and industrial interior finishes. Some builders have one style aesthetic but that’s not the case with Train. With our home, Kevin embraced the challenge of working with unique finishes like recycled glass and concrete countertops (Vetrazzo) and helping us source rare porcelain plank floors that look like reclaimed barn wood. From a customer service standpoint, they’re exceptional. Your calls and e-mails will be returned. They also have a great team of sub-contractors and artisans, which have been with them for years. It is clear there is a level of personal pride that goes into each client project. They back that pride with a solid warranty program and in our case, we’re pleased that our project came in within budget. When your friends and family tell you your home should be in Architectural Digest---that’s just a bonus. It’s a big responsibility to build someone’s home. A home is the core of a family, it’s your sanctuary and it’s a serious financial investment, one that can cannot be entrusted to just any builder. We truly love our new home and highly recommend Train Custom Homes. We plan to use them again on any future building projects.”

“We must, by way of relief and gratitude, begin this review of Thoroughbred Custom Homes with the highest regard and highest recommendation! I first would like to start by commending TCH on their utmost honesty, high integrity, and professionalism through and through. After critically and extensively researching several other “custom home builders” in the DFW area, i can confidently say that none of them hold a candle next to Thoroughbred. Thoroughbred created a masterpiece of a home that far exceeded our already very high expectations. The quality and scale of our home is stellar- they do not take shortcuts. The materials thoroughbred used to construct the shell of our home, as their standard, typically would cost tens of thousands to upgrade to through other home builders. They truly are not bluffing when they say high quality is their standard, this company sets the bar extraordinarily high. Harris and Evan are exceptional construction managers. They both went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, to ensure to job site was clean each and every day, and most importantly that the jobs were being done right. They kept us informed at all times and made sure jobs were getting done on schedule day in and day out. They were very transparent about costs, and they made the process so easy with the BuilderTREND app. Unlike our experience with other large scale home builders, we were never once blind sided or price gouged when it came to choosing interior finishes. In fact, because of our experiences with other home builders in the area, i can also confidently say that thoroughbred has the most generous allowances when selecting finishes. As someone who is passionate about design- this is where it hit a home run for me. Gina, who leads the design aspect of construction was an absolute pleasure to work with! Gina has excellent taste, class, and vision. She helped guide me through to make the right choices, in addition to steering me away from what could be a bad choice by considering the dynamics of our life…(kids, dogs, etc.) She truly pulled everything together seamlessly without me ever feeling overwhelmed, and i never want to design another house without her!! All of this leads me to say that although Thoroughbred Custom Homes is a newer builder to the North Dallas area- they are exactly what this area has been missing. You can find a home builder just about anywhere in Dallas- but you won’t find a top of the line, best of the best builder like Thoroughbred.”

“We contracted Oakmark Homes to build a house on our lot. The entire process with Oakmark was extremely pleasant and stress free. Mark was always attentive to our concerns and changes. He personally oversaw the entire build process. We did not have to deal with a build supervisor or program manager, we worked directly with the builder. Mark is extremely honest and did what he said he would do. We would highly recommend this builder and if we ever build another house we would use Oakmark again.”

“As a mortgage loan officer, I have known and worked with Steve Boyd for several years and have never known a client to be anything but pleased with the construction of their home and the professionalism of Steve and his team at Boyd Custom Homes. He has extensive knowledge of the building process and goes the extra mile to make sure all his homes are not only beautiful, but also structurally sound. Steve is truly a trusted builder who will not cut corners to make an extra dollar. He is honest and upfront about the costs of a custom home tailored to the requests of each individual client. The end result reflects his attention to detail and dedication to quality work. -Rhea Smith, Senior Loan Officer with 4Trust Mortgage, NMLS #216822”

“Best guys in the business. They are great to work with and stand behind everything they do. My wife and I were very happy with the home they built us and we constantly get great feedback from people who visit.”

“I recently bought a home from Gehan Homes. The process went great. They worked with my husband and I in our price range and helped us get all of the additional fixtures we wanted. No complaints!”

“You can not find better builders than John and Nancy Scott. Not possible. Approachable, caring, professionals with extensive construction and sales experience. You'll be in very good hands. You'll have a beautiful home as a result, well built.”

“I met Mike over 12 years ago. I design homes for a lot of different builders. Until I went into a house Mike was building. I was amazed at the craftsmanship and quality of his homes. Mike Cusack Homes is like no other builder. We instantly became great friends and the builder of my choice. I love it when Mike gets to build a house that I designed. Because he takes it to the next level. Mike has been using the same work crews for years. Mike is passionate about his houses. You can not go wrong with Mike Cusack Homes. Steve Shuert RESIDENTIAL DESIGN”

“We hired Callie Custom Homes to build a covered patio attached to our home. The quality of work was outstanding. The patio cover looks like it was an original part of the home construction. They met all work schedules and construction time lines and delivered as promised. I would hire them again and would recommend them to anyone who wants quality workmanship.”
