More than a house.

A place to come home to.

Picture this.

A back porch big enough for quiet mornings. A kitchen filled with the sound of shared meals and laughter. A living room that holds a lifetime of memories.

This isn’t just a house—it’s the backdrop to your story; a 36 Custom Home.

Built for the way you live.

At 36 Custom Homes, we build spaces that invite you in—where the entry way greets you, where back porches are wide and open, and where laughter lingers long after dinner’s done.

Every home is crafted with you in mind.

  • Room to gather. Open spaces that bring everyone together, because the best moments happen when everyone can be together.

  • A backyard made for slowing down. Wide, welcoming porches create the perfect ambiance for coffee at sunrise and barbecues at night.

  • A seamless flow between inside and out. Double doors that open wide, making fresh air and conversation part of your home.

  • Design that feels effortless. Thoughtful layouts that fit the way you live—no wasted space, no awkward corners, just home.

  • Built to be lived in. Strong foundations, timeless details, and craftsmanship that lasts for generations.

The Story Behind the Name

My grandfather endured three years as a prisoner of war while serving in the 36th Infantry. He’s a man of resilience, strength, and an unshakable commitment to keep moving forward.

36 Custom Homes, named to honor that 36th Infantry, serves as a daily tribute to his legacy.

A home should be more than four walls and a roof. It should be a place of strength and refuge. A place where you gather the people you love and exhale at the end of the day. A place that holds you through every season of life.

For me, home has always been College Station. I grew up here, laying floors and remodeling houses, learning through hard work that if you’re going to do something, you do it right.

But for the last twenty years, I’ve been on the road—touring with bands, seeing architecture from coast to coast. And while the road gave me perspective, it also made one thing clear:

Home is everything.

When my son was born, I knew it was time to come home. To build something lasting. To create spaces where families—mine and yours—can put down roots.

This is more than a business. It’s a legacy.

Home is in the details. The ones you see, and the ones you feel.

At 36 Custom Homes, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter designs. We believe in homes that balance beauty and function, where every space is designed with purpose and built to be lived in.

  • Choose a thoughtfully designed semi-custom home that fits your lifestyle, with layouts that feel both timeless and personal.

  • While we handle the details, you can dream about the life you’ll build here—because good things take time.

  • Move into a home designed for the way you live today, and built to grow with you for years to come.
