J.W. Neathery knows that choosing the right contractor is the most important decision that you make when building or remodeling a home. A quality custom home builder oversees every detail of your home construction, keeps things running smoothly, and can save you time and money. A great designer understands your needs and communicates with you throughout the process to make sure they are being met. Your custom home builder needs to have exceptional craftsmanship, authenticity, solid communication and planning skills, and, most importantly, a legacy of success. Get to know the exceptional team building on a legacy of craftsmanship for over 40 years.
Authentic Texas craftsmanship with 100% heart.
We live what we build.
Here at J.W. Neathery, custom home craftsmanship is more than what we do, it’s who we are. Beyond “practicing what we preach”, we live the lifestyle that we help create for others — this is something we mention a lot, but what does it mean?
We live in custom homes on rural acreage that we have built for our own families. We built our homes to suit ourselves and our families, not changing our family dynamic to fit around the homes we live in.
We have remodeled our homes to meet our families' changing needs. We know how to look at a house and make changes that complement the original architecture and enhance the way a family lives in it.
It’s a way of living that we enjoy and are invested in creating for others.
Hard work and authentic Texas craftsmanship are in our blood. The Neathery family name has a longstanding legacy of quality craftsmanship – putting the Neathery name on a project is a point of pride for our family. We know that we offer a premium service and we are proud of our legacy and of the work that we do.
