Customer Stories

It can be difficult to find a home builder you can trust with your piece of land. That's why when you're choosing a builder, we encourage you to ask other people about their experiences. Tilson makes it a point to constantly gather customer stories so you can hear about our process and the craftsmanship of our homes. See some of our customer stories below.

A House Built on a Firm Foundation in Our Faith

"So we were able to come in and we were able to pray over the area. And then we buried that Bible and then watched them pour the concrete over top of it. So we knew that if anybody ever dug this house, up they would know that this house was built on a firm, firm foundation and in our faith."

Brad & Julie Flickner | Johnson County, TX
we decided to build another Tilson home, and so that's where we are today, at our Gathering Place

"In 2001, we built the Nottingham... Every step of the way, the builder, everything was just awesome, and we still live in that house today. We had so many successes with the first home that we felt that, let's try Tilson again in a new area, 20-plus years later."

Vickie and John Mattern | Leon County, TX
Tilson built the perfect home for our country lifestyle

"We lived in a neighborhood where our house had maybe 10 feet between the houses on each side of it. That was not us. We want to be able to just stay outside, let the dogs run. We love to get on the Kubota and just ride the land. We shoot our guns out here in the creek. I mean, it's just-- this is us."

Nessa Rolf | Boling, TX
Building a Tilson Home from Out of State

"Tilson was able to help us along the way to understand everything that needed to be done."

Lenore and Tony Hackenyos | Medina County, TX
Working with Tilson was a One Stop Shop

"What attracted us most to Tilson was the fact that it was a one-stop shop. It was that we could sign on with them, and they had everything available to us."

David and Delany Straley | McLennan County, TX
A Builder We Could Trust with Our Family Land

"The property [has] been in their family since the early 1900s... so to be able to come out here into the country, build on our own place that was in her family for years is what truly really meant a lot to us."

Cassidy and Chris B.| Garwood, TX
Our Forever Dream Home

"It's the most rewarding thing to wake up and say, wow, Tilson did such an amazing job. And this is home. I call this home."

Faith and Ted Heumann | Collin County, TX
You come in with a dream and they make it a reality

"I got everything that I wanted from this home and it's just unreal every time I step inside."

Carolyn and Charles K. | Streetman, TX
A Home Built for Family

"We had the intention of building a house but not right away. Then we actually talked to our neighbors. They had a Tilson house, and we just thought it was so pretty. So we ended up going to talk to Tilson, and here we are."

Jack and Megan Hammack | Victoria County, TX
Tilson Makes it So Easy

"If you have your own land to build, like we did, then I would definitely recommend them to anyone because you have so much leeway to make changes..."

Keith and Taara Moore | Waller County, TX
Everybody who helped build the house took pride in what they did

"The more we started talking to the salespeople, or to the Tilson family, [building a home] turned more and more into a reality for us. And it was warm. It was welcoming. And I really wanted that for us."
