New Custom Homes in Montgomery County, Texas
Located in Conroe, Texas, at Bordeaux Homes, LLC, we don't just build custom homes, we build lifestyles. We
understand that a house is not just a home, that it takes on the personality of its owners, from style and decor to
design and function. We work closely with our homeowners to build them a home that is custom and demonstrates a
personal touch that defines who they are, whether they choose to live on a waterfront lot on Lake Conroe, an
acreage lot in Magnolia, or a golf course lot in The Woodlands.
We also want the custom homebuilding process to be as stress free as possible. That is why we handle
everything in the homebuilding process from pulling the Montgomery County permits to scheduling inspections with
the City of Conroe. Also, by limiting the number of custom homes per year we build, we are able to keep the
personal touch that our custom home clients deserve through the construction process. At Bordeaux Homes, you
are not just another name on a contract, you are truly a partner with us in building your new home.
Additionally, we provide one on one time with a local design specialist who can work with the client to
personalize their custom home. In addition to the customization based on each customer’s individual needs, Bordeaux
Homes, LLC offers standard custom features that set our homes apart, regardless of whether its a Mediterranean
style waterfront home, a Hill Country custom home, or a French Country home.
Whether you choose our plan or yours to build or you work with us to design a custom home, the typical
construction process is as follows:
Construction Process
Site Prep
The lot or homesite is surveyed and staked out as to where the custom home will be located. Tree
removal, and underbrushing are performed as well as stripping of the organic topsoil, which is removed or used
to grade areas around the slab. Depending upon the elevation of the property, select fill is brought in and
compacted in place to give the home foundation to be placed on.
Foundation
Depending on the design of your home and an independent soil test performed on your lot, a structural engineer
will design your foundation to ensure proper beam depth and cable size and piers if necessary. We utilize
postension, conventional steel, and piered slabs, depending on the engineer's recommendation and design.
Frame
Our custom homes are framed on-site, which provides the flexibility to customize and maximize the space and
shape of each home. Only the highest quality framing materials are used on each custom home.
In addition, when constructing a two story, the sub floor is both glued and screwed down to eliminate floor
squeaking. We work in conjunction with our client's inspectors to guarantee that the custom home is constructed to
proper building codes.
Mechanical Systems
Bordeaux Homes, LLC uses top-of-the-line heating and air conditioning systems with programmable thermostats. All
wiring is copper and sized according to local building code. The plumbing systems that we use are the Vanguard
manabloc system with schedule 40 pvc drain and sewer. Only the highest quality materials are used.
Roofing Systems
We only use premium composite shingles, metal roofs, or tile roofs depending upon the design. The roof decking
on a Bordeaux Homes custom home typically has a radiant barrier such as Tech Shield. Because of the additional
cost, this expensive material is not used by most home builders; however, we use radiant barrier decking on all
custom homes because of its high energy efficiency value. On average the radiant barrier keeps attics 20 to 25
degrees cooler, creating a significant savings in utility bills.
Insulation
We use high-quality, energy-efficient batts and blown insulation as well as spray foam insulation and other
green energy efficient options. We will work with you so that you choose the most affordable and energy efficient
options for your custom home.
Interior
All Bordeaux homes have the highest quality interior finishes available today. From custom texture and faux
finish painting to elaborate trim and custom onsite built cabinetry the options are endless. We work with local
trades from Montgomery County, Texas, whom we have used for years, to create the perfect interior finishes on your
custom home.
Exterior
Bordeaux Homes, LLC uses masonry materials on the exterior of every home, including brick, stucco, hardi plank
and stone. We work with you on the choices of your exteriors for your custom home so that it suits you perfectly.
We then shop for the best prices for the materials that you choose. When your custom home is completed, it is a
reflection of you, whether it set on a waterfront lot on Lake Conroe, a sprawling acreage lot in Magnolia, or a
golf course lot in The Woodlands, Texas.
