Custom
Home Builder
Southlake, TX

Family-owned since 1965, based just minutes from Southlake. Building exceptional custom homes for Southlake families with the craftsmanship and substance the market demands.

Available Homes

Southlake is one of the most demanding custom home markets in North Texas. The architectural standards are high. The neighborhoods are particular. The clients know what they want and have the means to expect it built well. For a custom home builder, Southlake is not a market to learn on. You either know how to build to the level Southlake expects, or the work shows it.

Maykus Homes has been building custom homes in the Grapevine and Southlake area since 1965. Three generations of the same family, working out of our Grapevine office on E. Northwest Highway, just minutes from Southlake. We have built across Carillon Parc, near Lake Grapevine, in Vaquero-area neighborhoods, and throughout Southlake’s established and newer communities. The homes we built decades ago are still standing well, and that record matters more in this market than any marketing pitch.

If you are considering a custom home in Southlake and want a builder with deep local roots and a 60-year record of building to last, we would like to talk with you.

Why Local Matters for a Southlake Custom Home Builder

Southlake is not a market for volume builders. The Southlake building codes, the architectural review standards in established neighborhoods, the lot conditions across the city, and the expectations from clients in this market all require a builder who has actually built here at scale and over time. A national volume builder dropping into Southlake almost always produces work that does not fit the market, no matter how good the marketing materials look.

Our 60 years of building in this corner of the DFW Metroplex means we know what builds well here. We have spent decades navigating Southlake’s permitting process, building alongside the city’s subcontractors and craftsmen, and working through the architectural review processes for the neighborhoods that have them. The relationships and the institutional knowledge are real and they shape the work.

Our Custom Home Building Process

Our construction process is structured to give clients clarity at every stage. Three phases, each with specific deliverables.

Initial Consultation and Lot Analysis

We start with a conversation about your family, lifestyle, and vision. If you do not have a lot, we help you evaluate options. If you own the lot, we conduct a thorough analysis of soil, topography, drainage, tree coverage, and zoning so the design works with the site.

Custom Design and Engineering

Our team works with architects and designers who know the Southlake market. You will review detailed plans and 3D renderings that bring your vision to life before construction begins, so there are no surprises when the home goes vertical.

Construction, Walkthroughs, and Completion

Construction proceeds on a managed timeline with regular communication. Milestone walkthroughs, draw inspections, and a thorough final walkthrough before you take the keys. Our team coordinates every subcontractor, inspection, and quality checkpoint.

60 Years of Building in Southlake and the Surrounding Area

Sixty years is rare in custom home building. The Maykus family has been building homes in the Grapevine and Southlake area since 1965, through three generations and through every shift the market has been through. We are still family-owned and still building the same way: one home at a time, for families who plan to stay.

The proof is on the ground. The Maykus homes we built decades ago are still standing well, still appreciating, and still beautiful. References from past clients, including families on their second or third Maykus home, are available on request.

Premium Building Materials & Meticulous Craftsmanship

Sixty years of building custom homes has taught us what materials and methods produce homes that last. We use premium building materials throughout: real masonry where the design calls for it, hardwood and natural stone instead of substitutes, high-grade windows and doors that perform in the Texas climate, and HVAC and insulation systems engineered for the long Texas summer.

The craftsmen we work with are people we have known for decades. Many have built dozens of Maykus homes and know our standards. The quality control on a Maykus build is not a checklist tacked on at the end; it is the natural product of long-running relationships with tradespeople who take pride in their work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a custom home in Southlake?

Typical timelines run 10 to 14 months from groundbreaking, depending on home size, design complexity, and lot conditions. Permitting in Southlake has its own rhythm, and our familiarity with the city helps us plan realistically.

Do you build on lots I already own?

Yes. We work with clients who already own lots in Southlake and with those who need help finding the right one. If you own land, we begin with a comprehensive lot analysis covering site conditions, access, utilities, drainage, and zoning.

What architectural styles do you build?

Traditional, transitional, Mediterranean, contemporary, modern, modern farmhouse, and Hill Country Vernacular among others. The design always matches the lot, the neighborhood, and the family.

Do you handle Southlake permits and HOA approvals?

Yes. Permits, plan review, and HOA architectural approvals are part of what we manage. You should not have to navigate the city or HOA processes on your own.

What warranties come with a Maykus home?

Every Maykus home includes comprehensive warranty coverage for structural elements, mechanical systems, and finishes. We stand behind our work because our reputation is built on homes that are still standing well 30 and 40 years after completion.
