Can you help us find property?
Yes! One of our owners is a licensed real estate agent and we have great relationships with other leading Real Estate firms. Just like homebuilders, not all land is created equal. We will help you identify the right property for you and your family. We also have lots available to build on. Whether you have property already, or are looking for a wooded home-site, acreage, or a patio lot, Kurk Homes has the flexibility to build your custom dream home.
How long have you been in business?

Does Kurk Homes offer a home warranty?
Yes! Kurk Homes offers a leading 20-year limited structural warranty through Aces Warranty Company. Most other builders will warrant their work for only the minimum required 10 year period.
Can you build from our plans?
Yes! Your plan or ours, or we can help you design your home. » View Plans
What if we don’t find a plan we like?
Kurk Homes does not believe you should have to settle for a builder’s particular house plan. With Kurk Homes you can modify any plan to suit your needs. If you choose, our award winning designer will create a totally unique plan, designed from the ground up to fit your needs. Working through Kurk Homes, the cost for a custom plan will be 40% less than dealing with a home designer directly.
What if I have to sell my house first?
More than 90% of our customers need to sell their home sometime during the construction period. We work with some of the top realtors in the area and can refer the right realtor for you.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Kurk Homes works on a 20-week build out program. From the time we actually start construction, you should plan on moving into your new custom home in approximately 5 months.
Does Kurk Homes offer financing?
Though we do not have “in house” financing, most of our customers work with our preferred lenders in order to get quality service and the best possible interest rates.
How much does a Kurk Home cost?
Depending on the design of the home, homes start from the low $80’s per square foot in the Houston area and low $90’s per square foot in the Hill Country without the cost of land, but with all of our standard features.
What additional costs will I incur building on my lot, which are not included with Kurk Homes Standard Features?
A) Depending on the severity of the slope on your lot, you may need a compacted foundation pad.
B) If your building line is more than 50' from the front property line, an additional temporary construction road will be needed. Kurk Homes offers 50' of driveway as a Standard Feature. Longer driveways will cost more.
C) Each subdivision has their own set of requirements and has unique arrangements with utility companies and costs may vary.
