My wife and I recently moved into our new Lakewood Builders home. Before we decided on a builder, we asked local people for references and everyone recommended Lakewood. After meeting with the owner Marty, learning about his history and family, and seeing the quality of their work we became instant fans and never looked any further. Never built a home before? Neither had we but no worries, Marty will walk you through every step of the process and stay in great communication with you. With Lakewood Builders you don’t need to be worried about cost overruns. Marty's initial build cost estimate was spot on and the only additional costs we incurred were our fault because we wanted something extra. Marty frequently sends an itemized spreadsheet that tracks estimated vs. current expenses. The banks here are all used to working with Marty so communication between them and Marty during the build is solid. Build quality is another thing you never have to worry about with Lakewood Builders. Marty has been building homes around Lake Livingston for over two decades and has developed an amazing relationship with the best craftspeople in the area. The framers, painters, trim carpenters, cabinet builders, AC, plumbing, septic, flooring, and countertop people are the most experienced, outstanding craftspeople I have ever encountered. The products they used for the build are top quality. If you are looking to build a home around the Lake Livingston area, look no further than Lakewood Builders. What you will get is a high-quality, custom-built home of your dreams at a very fair price. You will also be dealing with a family-run business owned by a Navy veteran (Marty) who after seeing the world decided to come home and build homes. His daughter and sons were born and raised here and now work for the business. They are all honest, hard-working people who put out a high-quality product they are proud of and stand behind.
