A Testimonial from the Getchel Family

Customer Stories

On the banks of the Richland-Chambers Reservoir in Navarro County, Mark and Jenny Getchel turned their dream into a reality. When the Getchels set out to create their new home, they had a clear vision in mind. Drawing inspiration from their previous residence in California, they wanted a familiar and fresh space—where the elegance of a formal living and dining room seamlessly transitions into the warmth of a family room. Tilson Homes was recommended to them as a trustworthy builder who could provide the quality they were searching for.


The quest for the perfect home brought them face-to-face with Tilson's former Driftwood home plan (now the Barton Springs). The openness and fluidity of the floor plan resonated with their desire for a combined living space, mirroring the comfort and layout of their California home but with a new, united twist. 

Jenny, a retired interior decorator, found the design choices presented by Tilson nothing short of phenomenal. The process was smooth, with the team at Tilson welcoming their ideas and suggestions, making the experience of designing their dream home with Tilson a feeling of a shared vision coming to life.

Their story also highlights the comfort of knowing you are in capable hands with your builder, the excitement of seeing your dreams materialize, and the joy of surpassing expectations—not just in the spaces created but in the enduring quality that comes with them.

The Getchels appreciate Tilson's craftsmanship and commitment to quality and have become ardent supporters of the company. Mark and Jenny's home-building experience is a testament to the warmth, trust, and excellence that Tilson embodies.
