Custom Home Building
Building a custom home in the Texas Hill Country shouldn't mean endless delays and surprise costs. At Vintage Luxury Builders, we've spent three generations perfecting a process that gets you into your dream home in about half the time of other custom home builders - without cutting corners. We offer two ways to build your custom home:
Full Custom Design
Start with a blank canvas and design every detail exactly how you want it. Our team guides you through a complete design and selection process - typically around three months - where every decision gets made before we break ground. From floor plan layout to the last doorknob, it's all finalized upfront. No waiting on selections during construction. No change orders slowing things down.
Modified Standard Plans
Choose from proven floor plans that we've built and refined over the years, then customize them to fit your needs. This path gets you to contract faster while delivering the same quality construction from the same trusted subcontractors we've worked with for years.
Either way, you get the same Vintage Luxury Builders quality. We're talking custom window flashing on every window - not just ceiling tape. We're talking about attention to the details that most builders skip because they think no one will notice. We notice. And our clients notice.
Our Process
Discover
We meet with you and any key decision-makers to discuss your ideal home. We walk your land together to identify the ideal build site and analyze any potential challenges.
Design
Choose full custom or a modified standard plan. Our designer produces preliminary floorplans, and we finalize every detail and selection before breaking ground.
Select
Work with our network of preferred vendors to select finishes, fixtures, and materials. Every decision is locked in before construction starts - no surprises.
Contract
With the floorplan and selections finalized, we reach a final price and agree on timing. Everything is formalized with the Texas Association of Builders standard form contract - designed to protect both builder and buyer - before we begin.
Build
Construction moves fast - we build homes in about half the time of our competitors. Regular communication keeps you informed every step of the way.
Move In
We conduct a full orientation walkthrough of your completed home, demonstrating how every system and feature works - from HVAC controls to smart home wiring. You get the keys and the peace of mind that comes with a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty backing your investment.
Our Features
Every Vintage Luxury Builders home includes quality upgrades where they matter most. From custom window flashing to energy-efficient systems, these are the details that set our homes apart and protect your investment for years to come.

What Sets Us Apart
Why We Build Faster Without Sacrificing Quality
Our build timeline runs about seven months from foundation to keys. When other custom home builders are quoting 18 months, we're handing over finished homes.
-
The speed comes from our background building 500 production homes a year in Dallas. We brought that scheduling discipline to custom building in the Hill Country. It takes the same number of man hours to build a home no matter which builder you choose - the difference is how those hours get scheduled. We eliminate the waiting.
No Surprises, No Regrets
Every decision gets locked in before construction starts. Once you sign the contract, we're off to the races. Changes during the build? That's a change order fee, because changes create delays.
-
This process is what lets us build in half the time. You make every selection upfront, we build fast, and you move into a home with zero regrets about rushed decisions. Our business model works because we build efficiently - your timeline is our timeline.
Three Generations of Quality Craftsmanship
Howard Buescher started building homes in 1960. Over 65 years later, 25 family members have built houses. We're a family business and we treat every client like family.
-
Whether you're looking at a custom home starting in the $700Ks or a luxury Hill Country estate up to $4 million, you get the same commitment to craftsmanship. The only difference is the bells and whistles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our build times are roughly half of what our competitors deliver. Once the foundation is poured, a typical Vintage Luxury Builders home is completed in about 7 months. When other builders are quoting 18 months, we're handing you the keys.
This is possible because every decision is made before we break ground. We don't wait on selections or design changes during construction. The total process - including design and selections - typically runs about 10 months for a full custom home.
It comes down to scheduling discipline and our process. The family background in production home building - where they were building 500 homes a year - brought an efficiency mindset to custom building. We make all decisions before construction starts, so we're never waiting on the customer for anything during the build.
It basically takes the same number of man hours to build a home no matter what builder you use. The scheduling of those man hours is what makes the big difference. We keep virtually no idle time between subcontractors, which is why we can deliver in about half the time.
Our process is designed so that all decisions are finalized before construction starts. Once you sign up, that's confirmed with formal documentation. If changes are requested during the build, a change order fee applies.
This isn't to be rigid - it's what allows us to build your home in roughly half the time of competitors. Every decision made upfront means no delays, no surprises, and a faster path to your new home.
We offer two approaches to custom building:
Full Custom - Start from a blank slate with complete design freedom. Our team works with you through a thorough design and selection process, typically around three months, to nail down every detail before breaking ground. This option is ideal for clients who want a truly one-of-a-kind home.
Modified Standard Plan - Choose from pre-designed floor plans with options and customizations. This gets you to contract phase faster while still delivering the same quality construction from the same trusted trades. Either way, you get the same Vintage Luxury Builders quality and attention to detail.
We offer two product lines. Our modified standard plan homes - built with the same quality construction and trusted trades - start in the $600K range. Our full custom homes, particularly in premium developments like Puerta del Lobo near Fredericksburg, can go to $3 million plus including the lot.
We want to be the builder for everyone. Whether you're looking for a quality custom home in the sixes or a very high-end product, you're going to get the same quality - the difference is in the bells and whistles.
We build along the 281 corridor from Marble Falls all the way down to Boerne, and over to I-35. This includes New Braunfels, Blanco, Dripping Springs, Spring Branch, Canyon Lake, and surrounding communities. We're also expanding toward Fredericksburg.
We've built extensively in communities like Vintage Oaks in New Braunfels, and we're currently developing in The Overlook near Canyon Lake and Puerta del Lobo near Fredericksburg.
Just reach out! Whether by phone, text, or email to 830-312-6266, or through our contact form, we'd love to hear about your dream home. We'll set up a free consultation to discuss your vision, your lot situation (whether you own one or need help finding one), and your timeline.
From there, we'll walk you through our process - whether that's a full custom design or selecting from our modified standard plans - and help you understand costs upfront so there are no surprises.
