We’re Built for This. Southerly Homes.
We were builders at heart long before we were builders by trade.
The creative hands-on process of taking a vision and making something out of nothing, is something we grew up on. And that spirit is inherent and at the center of what we do.
We want to carry that experience and spirit throughout the process with you, from early visions and design plans, to working closely with you throughout the building process — all the way through to the reality of a beautifully custom designed home.
We know that the house we’re building for you is more than a house to you. And it’s more than a house to us too.
We’re Built for This. Southerly Homes.
Our Mission
To design and build beautiful, high quality homes with a focus on an exceptional customer experience
with true Texas hospitality — so that our customers feel right at home, right from the start.
