What distinguishes the exceptional custom home builder from the very best? For those of us that decide to build our home, choosing the right builder is key. We have built 3 custom homes over the past 35 years and were fortunate enough to have had 3 really good builders, who led us through the home building process with precision and delivered a very high quality home. Until this year we thought that was all you could ask for! 11 years ago we built our dream home with Sterling Custom Homes and we couldn't have been happier with the process and the outcome. They made sure about that. This year we noticed that an exterior beam seemed to be sagging. Even though our 10 year home building warranty had expired we called Sterling and Duke McDowell, the president, came over the next day. The following day he had a crew there to shore the beam and start the investigative work of what was wrong. Duke and a few experts diagnosed the issue ( rain over the years), put together the fairly complex repair plan and unleashed a number of contractors to remedy the situation. A number of weeks later everything was perfect once again. I knew the cost was going to be very expensive but when I went to pay, Duke said, "he wanted to take care of it for me" and he did! That is how you know you have chosen an exceptional builder. Kent and Gail W

We were thrilled with our experience building our home with Sterling Custom Homes Inc! The entire Sterling team were a joy to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable and attentive to all aspects of the build. The quality of the work surpassed our expectations. If there were any issues at all, (and there were very few) they were quickly addressed and resolved. Thank you Duke & Angie, Chris and Chris for creating our beautiful home!

I want to say thank you to the wonderful team at Sterling Custom Homes. We have worked with Sterling for 10 years now and have had the honor to be part of some amazing custom builds! I have worked with many builders in the Austin area and there are only a handful that can execute the level of detail required to build a true custom home. Duke and Angie have created a one of a kind team and experience that is sure to impress, not to mention the dozens and dozens of awards they have won over the years.
