Why the Andersons Chose Tilson Homes: A Family's Story of Craftsmanship and Care
Construction Practices, Customer Stories
When the Anderson family decided to build on their land, they carefully considered who to trust to build their forever home. Here's why Tilson stood out to Kendall and Leanne Anderson as they built their Bexar C in Erath County.
A Legacy of Quality and Experience
The Andersons were familiar with Tilson's lasting quality even before they decided to build, having relatives who had built with us more than a decade ago. Their relatives' positive experience, combined with Tilson's long-standing reputation, made the choice easy. The fact that Tilson has been crafting homes for generations stood out to the Andersons, especially in a market where new builders come and go. This deep history and expertise gave them confidence that their home would be built to last.
"Tilson's experience just really impressed us," Kendall shared. "They're not just a startup company. They've been doing this a long time, and that made us feel like this was the right way to go."
Finding the Perfect Fit
For the Andersons, selecting the right home design was an exciting and hands-on process. While Leanne admitted that visualizing design elements doesn't come naturally to her, Tilson's model homes and expert guidance made all the difference.
"I love looking at model homes," Leanne shared. "It was really nice to be able to see Tilson's quality up close, explore their custom options, and get advice on picking colors and finishes. Seeing everything in person helped me feel more confident that our choices would all come together beautifully."
The Andersons even traveled to Waco to tour more model homes, finding inspiration along the way. Though the exact model they chose, the Bexar Elevation C, wasn't available to view, the craftsmanship and care in every Tilson design reassured them that their vision would come to life.
A Commitment to Craftsmanship
The Andersons saw Tilson's unwavering dedication to quality throughout the building process. From extensive inspections to structural enhancements that go beyond industry standards, it was clear Tilson takes pride in getting every detail right. For instance, Tilson's insulation techniques and commitment to structural integrity stood out as indicators of their high standards.
"We talked to another builder at one point, and their process just didn't compare," Kendall explained. "Tilson goes above and beyond with inspections, even when they're not required by the county or state. That really reinforced to us how much they care about doing everything right."
This attention to detail carried through every aspect of the project, providing peace of mind to the Andersons that their home was in trustworthy hands.
Making Memories in Their Custom Home
With their home now complete, the Anderson family couldn't be more thrilled to settle into their new space. Hosting loved ones has already created cherished memories, and they're eager for even more.
"We're looking forward to the holidays, having everyone over and figuring out where the tree will go," Leanne said with a laugh. "We've had friends and some family out already, and it's been so much fun. This home was thoughtfully designed for gatherings, and it's already brought so much joy."
The care and quality woven into the Andersons' custom home have made it a place to live and celebrate life's moments with those they love.
Why the Andersons Recommend Tilson Homes
For anyone considering building on their own land, the Andersons encourage giving Tilson Homes a serious look. Their family's experience is a testament to the craftsmanship, professionalism, and care that Tilson puts into every project.
"The quality is tremendous," Kendall said. "You can see it in every step of the building process. Tilson goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done right. If something isn't perfect, they'll fix it because they genuinely care about the result."
The Andersons' story is a powerful reminder of what sets Tilson apart. It's not just about building homes. It's about creating spaces where families can make memories, knowing their home is crafted with care and expertise.
