Sometimes, life takes unexpected turns that test your strength. That’s exactly what happened to John and Pam Milner. Years ago, they built their dream home with
Tilson Homes—a home that was everything they had envisioned and more. It was a custom design, perfectly suited to their lives, and they had poured their hearts into making it their own. But one night, everything changed. A storm rolled in, and a lightning strike sparked a fire that destroyed their beloved home. Standing on the ashes of what they had built, John and Pam were understandably devastated. It wasn’t just a house they had lost—it was years of memories.
Faced with the heartbreaking reality of starting over, they asked themselves, “What’s next?” For John and Pam, the answer came quickly. They knew exactly who to call.
Tilson Homes had been there for John and Pam the first time they decided to build their home, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. The quality, the guidance, and the care that Tilson’s team put into every step of the process left no doubt in the Milners' minds. When it came time to rebuild, they didn’t hesitate to return to the builder they trusted.
This time around, John and Pam decided to approach their new home as an opportunity to design something that reflected where they were in life now. While they loved their first home, this was a chance to make it even better. John’s dream of a light, open living space for hosting family and friends? Done. Pam’s vision of a room where she could paint and practice yoga? Absolutely. This new home was all about blending what they had loved before with the new priorities they had developed over the years.
Today, John and Pam’s new home stands as a symbol of resilience and hope—proof that even after loss, it’s possible to build something beautiful again. They couldn’t be happier with their new home, or with the way Tilson made it happen for them.
For over 90 years, families across Texas have trusted Tilson Homes to help them build on their own land. Whether it’s your first home or your second, Tilson is more than just a builder—they’re your partner.
