Every testimonial here comes from a family who built with us and agreed to be named and photographed. Nine wrote to us; five went on camera. We publish them as given, including the one in Spanish, because editing a client's words into marketing copy defeats the point of asking for them.

We want to thank South Texas Builders for building our home.

They evaluated our lot for free, explained every step, and designed a floor plan that fit perfectly on our property.

We can honestly say this was the best decision we’ve made for our family.

The Chavez family on the day they closed on their new home

South Texas Builders made the process of building our first home much less intimidating than we expected.

We came in not knowing much about construction loans and they connected us with a lender the same day.

We are so grateful for this team.

Nosotros construimos nuestra casa en Mission con South Texas Builders y fue la mejor experiencia que pudimos haber tenido.

Llevábamos años ahorrando y cuando finalmente llegó el momento, queríamos hacer las cosas bien. El equipo nos explicó cada detalle del proceso, los permisos, los planos, las selecciones de materiales.

We are the González family and we built our home with South Texas Builders after a friend recommended them.

What stood out from day one was the honesty, they told us exactly what was included in the contract, what was not, and what everything would cost. No surprises.

The Charles family on closing day at the title office

We moved to the Rio Grande Valley from out of state and knew we wanted to build rather than buy.

South Texas Builders was recommended to us and from our very first call they were professional, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions.
