Custom Homes from North Texas Custom Builders
North Texas Custom Builders is a custom home builder in Grapevine, TX, building ground-up homes across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Owner Perry Roberts framed custom homes in the 1980s before he ran them as a general contractor, and BBB lists the business as started in 2001. You deal with him from the first call to the keys.
Who it's for
People who already know roughly what they want: a lot (or a lot in mind), a plan or a sketch, and a preference for working with the owner rather than a sales office.
Who it isn't for
If you want to pick a floor plan from a model-home catalogue in a new subdivision, a production builder will suit you better.
What's included
- Building on your own lot, from slab to final walkthrough
- Framing checked by a builder who did the job himself for years
- Stone, brick, roofing, windows and trim chosen with you, not for you
- Finished kitchens and baths built to the same standard as the frame
- Garages, porches and outdoor rooms built with the house

Good to know
What makes a custom home different from a production home?
A production builder sells a set of plans on lots it owns. A custom builder builds your plan on your land, so every wall, window and finish is a decision you make. It takes longer to plan and you get exactly the house you drew.
Why does a framing background matter?
The frame decides whether walls are straight, doors close and tile stays flat for decades. Perry spent the 1980s framing custom homes, so he reads a frame the way a mechanic listens to an engine, and he checks it before anything covers it up.

Custom Homes questions
How much does it cost to build a custom home in DFW?
Published 2026 figures for the Dallas area run about $190 to $280 per square foot for a mid-range custom home and $280 to $450 or more for luxury builds. Those ranges are not a quote from North Texas Custom Builders. Your price comes from your plan and finishes and is confirmed in writing before work starts.
Can you build on a lot I already own?
Yes. Most custom homes are built on land the owner already has. Have the survey, the plat and any HOA or deed restrictions ready, because they decide where the house can sit and what it can look like.
Who runs the job site?
Perry Roberts, the owner. A verified Angi reviewer wrote that Perry "oversees all work" and "stands behind his work and employees."
