Welcome to Tilson Homes! Whether you're a proud Texan dreaming of building a home on your land, a rural landowner exploring your options, or someone looking to turn your piece of Texas into a cherished family sanctuary, you’ve come to the right place. For over 90 years, we’ve been crafting custom homes for Texans, blending tradition, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality. This blog dives into who we are, our rich history, and how we make building your dream home a joyful and seamless experience, all while saving you time and money.


Our Story: A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Every great story starts with a defining moment, and for Tilson Homes, that moment came in 1932. During the Great Depression, Jack and Horace Tilson transitioned from building wood oil derricks to custom homebuilding, founding Tilson Homes to support their families. Nearly a century later, we’re proud to remain a fourth-generation, family-owned business, crafting homes as unique as the Texans who live in them.

When you choose Tilson, you’re choosing more than just a homebuilder. We understand that land in Texas means more than property—it’s about pride, tradition, and the foundation of family memories. It’s our honor to help you build on that foundation.

What Makes Tilson Homes Different

1. Custom Homes Built Just for You

Your home should be as unique as your story, and with Tilson, it will be. You can customize our designs to fit your style, needs, and the land you love. Want to combine the layout of one home with the exterior of another? We can do that! Plus, our innovative “desktop pricing” tool shows you costs in real-time, so there are no surprises.

2. Simplified Financing with EasyBuy

Building a home often requires complex construction loans—but not with Tilson. Our EasyBuy Program eliminates the hassle, offering key benefits like:

  • No construction loan required – We handle the financing ourselves.
  • No interim interest charges – You won’t pay interest while the home is being built.
  • Peace of mind – You’ll only start your permanent mortgage after the final walk-through.

This program can save you thousands and get you closer to your dream home, stress-free.

3. Long-Term Care You Can Trust

Our commitment doesn’t end when we hand over the keys. Unlike many builders, we handle all warranty work in-house through our Tilson Customer Care Team. We’re here to ensure your home stays strong for years to come.

Building Memories, Not Just Homes

Whether you dream of a modern farmhouse, a rustic ranch, or something entirely your own, Tilson Homes is ready to bring your vision to life. Explore floor plans, visit a model home, or schedule a consultation today.

We’d be honored to help you build your piece of Texas.
