Building with Tilson in Waco has been a great experience! Mariah, our sales consultant, had great communication and answered all of our questions. Eli, our builder, sends us weekly updates and never hesitates to answer our questions. Tilson has fixed problems during the build without us having to say anything. Overall Tilson has exceeded our expectations and have made the home building process as easy as possible!

Great experience thus far! I never knew all the small details that go into planning and designing a home but Mariah with Tilson Waco office has been amazing. She truly does make you feel like you are her only client. From our design appointment to the stakeout and now finally our slab is poured and framing is going up and it’s all documented through their Tilson app! We would definitely recommend Tilson Homes Waco location!

Working with Tilson Homes Waco has been a wonderful experience. After a quick phone call to for basic questions we were assigned to Lauren from the Waco office as our sales consultant. She truly went above and beyond working with us for months as we finalized our plans to build our forever home. The process was so easy and seamless. We also had a great experience with Kevin in pre-construction and Dustin during construction. We are so excited to see our home finished. Thank you Tilson.

Michael Rose on Tilson Homes

Tilson is wonderful to work with! We decided to have a home built on our land, so began looking for a builder. We are pleased we stopped by and spoke with Mariah. She was extremely patient and truly listened to what we wanted, presented several options, and then helped us customize a home specifically to meet our needs. From our perspective, it has been easy! The Tilson team has stepped in and guided us through the process, provided tips for a successful build, and even arranged financing. Note that a big plus for us is that Tilson finances the construction, so there’s no need for high rate construction loans. It makes your life easy!!! Cody came out to our build site and recommended small modifications which saved us money. As for quality, this is a true custom home builder, and they provided seemingly endless options to make it our home. The construction materials are top of the line and I can see that the work is as well. We should be breaking ground soon and we can’t wait to move in. If you’re looking to build on your land, you should really consider Tilson Homes, and if you’re near the Waco area, visit the Waco team.

I would HIGHLY recommend Tilson to everyone.

Building your home, on your land is a process where my expectations didn't quite line up. The finished product is amazing, better than expected. Are there any issues, yes, but Tilson has addressed ALL of them during the Contruction and after. They came out today to fix the last couple of things left to do. I'd like to add that the issues we've had post construction are all cosmetic. I was here for every phase of the build, and I know the quality of craftsmanship that went into every detail.

Something to consider is the fact they finance your build. We only had to pay for the design of the house, nothing else. It saved us thousands in interest payments you'd normally have to pay financing through a bank.

The process is simple:
1. Design
2. Procurement (wait while they get the materials needed for your house)
3. Build
4. Final inspections
You move in and you have a year to get all of the things needing attention fixed.
10 YEAR WARRANTY!!!

Tilson makes it easy. During the entire process you have a dedicated professional on your "team" you can contact to raise concerns. That was a huge deal for me because I have an issue noticing EVERY detail, I'm sure was going to annoy them but I never did. In fact I called by builder the other day to ask if he had a contact for a project I was working on and he remembered me (probably because I was so annoying) and helped me out.
