Texas Living Homes

We met Jennifer few years ago when she had a home in the Comanche Trace Parade of Homes. She took pride in the home she built. We knew we wanted her to build our next home. Fast forward to the summer of 2023 when we started the building process with Jennifer and her team. You don’t realize how many design decisions there are until you go to the design center. This wasn’t our first time to build new construction and it’s still overwhelming. Thank goodness Jennifer came along to to the design center. We thought to ourselves “ what builder does this”? With her design expertise, we knew our selections not only reflected what we wanted, but they also made good design sense. We didn’t live in Kerrville while the house was being built. We didn’t have to worry about checking on the house daily because Jennifer had it covered. The timeline for the build was earlier than we expected and right on budget. Texas Living Homes motto is “value, quality, pride”. Jennifer needs to add “integrity” to the motto. In today’s world it’s hard to find that trait in a construction or service company. We appreciate that Jennifer does what she says she is going to do. Another thing that sets her apart from other builders is that she really listens to her clients and gives constructive feedback. We would definitely recommend Texas Living Homes to any one looking for a new home. We would not hesitate use Jennifer and her team again.

What can we say about Texas Living Homes?.....A very good experience for us from start to completion. As first time home builders we were very anxious about the process, especially as we lived several hours from the build site. Beginning with the selection process, which we thought would be long and painful, Jennifer Hyde (owner) assisted us through it in a little more than a day, helping us with decisions we literally opined over. Although our build schedule was impacted by Covid, the Texas "Icemagedden, and supply issues, Jennifer managed to keep us on a reasonable timeline, kept us informed, and was able to hold firm on original price. Mighty impressive. Ultimately our "occupancy" was 2 weeks late from promise. And the house was completed as advertised in "move in" condition......no last minute repairs or "do overs" by her team. All of this while many of our neighbors, using different builders had contractors coming and going, making repairs for months after occupancy. During the process not only did we learn to admire Jennifer for her acumen and professionalism, but also became friends. We continue yet today almost a year later to stay in touch with her and in fact, her Project Manager (Larry) has become a close friend. Nothing is ever perfect of course, but the few challenges and changes we encountered were met with a strong "can do" attitude by the TLH team. If we were to ever consider another build, it would certainly be with Jennifer and her team at Texas Living Homes.

Jennifer was very helpful in designing our new home. She and her team were always prompt and courteous. The construction and timeline were met as expected. We are very pleased with our new home and would highly recommend Jennifer and Texas Living Homes.

Jennifer and her crews, esp Larry are absolutely a joy to work with. Jennifer walked us through each step of the decision making process and was so helpful when choosing the flooring, paint, exterior, roof, and cabinets. She was awesome throughout the design process until the final walkthrough. We love our house and everyone complements us on it. I highly recommend Texas Living Homes.

We highly recommend Jennifer and the team at Texas Living Homes if you are considering a home build. From the moment I first spoke with her on the phone and our first face to face meeting, we knew she was the one for us. Very attentive to details and we could tell she had a solid command of her schedule and what she could deliver, which was saying something since we were still at the tail end of the challenges posed by the pandemic. We also did our project while living in another state, so we had to have full confidence in our builder. I love details and wish I could have been at the construction site every week, but living out of state just didn't allow for that. Jennifer did great to keep us updated on progress, send along pics from time to time and keep us well apprised of everything. While working with our architect on the plans, Jennifer had good input on some of the elements and choices we were picking, then at our day at the design center with her, she also had some great input on our choices. It was a gift to have a builder who understood both sides of the process (construction capabilities and design elements). After we got our pricing and her timeline, we moved forward, signed our contract, and she and her team were off. She was absolutely true to her schedule for final completion. When we were able to move into the house, it was so much better than we even dreamed it would be. We knew Jennifer did quality work as we had seen some of her projects in process when we first met, but we can honestly say she doesn't do anything half way. From the materials she uses to the finished work, it is all top notch. Even some of the things that other builders may use low grade items for she uses quality ones. For example the mechanicals that we sometimes forget about when we focus on fit and finish are all fantastic and well selected by Jennifer such as the the tankless water heater, the HVAC system, garage openers, etc. Just know if you build a home (with any builder) there will be things that pop up during construction, like supply issues, weather delays and such. Be ready for it, but know that when the few small things popped up during our project, they were all handled well and she still stayed on the timeline. And one other small but important detail is how clean they keep their job sites. It may sound insignificant, but when I visited once during construction, I was impressed how clean the site was, which to me just speaks to her attention to all the details. Upon move in, she and her team were still super attentive to make sure all was good. The few items on our punch list were addressed as quickly as possible. Her right hand guy, Larry, was involved during construction as well, but was super great to help get any and all punch list items taken care of. Everyone we came in contact with whether it was Jennifer, Larry, others on their team, or even the sub contractors they used, they were all polite and professional. Worthy of a 5 star rating.

To say the least our overall experience in dealing with Texas Living Homes was outstanding! From our very first meeting with Jennifer Hyde to the completion of the project, we just couldn’t have asked for a better customer experience. Jennifer exuded confidence and extensive knowledge, which put our minds at ease. In the early design phase of our home, Jennifer shared her design expertise, helping us to make all the necessary selections needed to start the project. While building the house, we were consistently informed of progress and timelines. Any questions we had were addressed in a timely manner. Never did we feel anxious or uncertain. Texas Living Homes drove the project plan and kept us abreast of it as needed. Upon closing and move in, we were pleasantly surprised with the thorough orientation provided on our new home. Jennifer, Larry Brown, and team went out of their way to explain and educate us on all of the features of the home. Even in an unprecedented times, the Texas Living Homes team delivered the home of our dreams on budget and within agreeable timelines!

Building a new home can be extremely stressful. Texas Living homes made this process as stress free as possible given the set of circumstances of building during Covid. Very responsive with answering questions and concerns

Having never built a home before, we were quite nervous about doing so, especially since we lived 800 miles away. Thankfully we selected Texas Living Homes and Jennifer Hyde to build our new home in the Texas Hill Country. From start to finish the process was about as painless and positive as we could imagine. Her design process included making ALL selections of items the house would encompass; including appliances, plumbing fixtures, doors, cabinetry, handles, knobs, specialty build items, windows, roof style, paint colors, wood trim, lighting, flooring, and about anything else you could think of. A total price was agreed upon, which negated the hassle of myriad “allowances”, which often are insufficient and seem to drive the price up noticeably. The builder also adhered diligently to her timeline, and the house was delivered on time and on budget. The whole process was actually a very pleasant experience for us, which was a welcome surprise. The entire TLH team was quite professional, they built a high quality home within the budget and timeline, and they were easy to deal with. What’s not to like about that. Thank you Jennifer Hyde.

Jennifer & all her crew, from designer to job site personnel were all first rate. The design & build process was made simple, efficient and on time. Follow up on the simplest details was excellent, timely and focused on customer satisfaction. Gary & LaDonna

Once I selected Comanche Trace as my new home destination I carefully added Texas Living Homes and owner Jennifer Hyde as my builder/designer to create my dream home. Every expectation was met with precision and I could not have more pleased with the outcome. Be assured that I can recommend Ms. Hyde and her organization without reservation. You will not be disappointed.

Jennifer Hyde, the builder and team members were very professional, courteous, and easy to work with. Jennifer is very knowledgeable on what colors to use from the exterior to interior of my house. She was very helpful on all decisions, from start to finish, and went way out her way to please. Workers and team members cleaned up after themselves and work areas were always neat and clean. The timeline on construction was met. Met my budget and work quality was excellent. I have and will recommend Texas Living Homes, Jennifer Hyde, to all family and friends.
