Average Home Build Timeline
Scott Clements learned the construction business the old-fashioned way — by doing the work himself. At nine years old, he was working summers for his father’s AC company, roughing in houses. By ten, he was helping finish his family’s Jim Walters home room by room — learning plumbing, electrical, trim work, and sheetrock while his family lived in the one completed room.
That drive shaped everything that followed. By nineteen, Scott was running multi-million dollar commercial projects — hospitals, high-rises, semiconductor clean rooms. A decade with national homebuilders like KB Homes and Portrait Homes taught him the systems that make building efficient, and the pricing games he’d later refuse to play.
When Scott founded S. Clements Homes in January 2007, he brought a different approach to Northeast Texas. The first four houses were built for $110,000 each — Scott and his brother doing the plumbing rough-ins themselves, tiling floors at night after working his day job. One of those original photos still hangs in his office today.

While other builders charge premium prices for every upgrade and surprise you with “allowance overages,” we take a different approach. Here’s what you can expect when you build with us.
“If you sign a contract with us for $450,000, it’ll be $450,000 when we’re finished. And if it goes over, it’s because you changed something — because we’re not changing anything.”
That’s the S. Clements promise. No cost-plus games where invoices can be manipulated. Your price is locked.
Want to upgrade your granite from Tier 3 to Tier 6? You pay only the price difference — not a 25% markup.
“Why would I mark it up? That’s doesn’t seem right to do to people who are trusting you with their home.”
We’ve taken over too many projects from builders who took $50,000 deposits and disappeared. That’s not how we operate.
You don’t pay us until we’ve done the work. The way it should be.
Most custom builders take 18 months. We complete homes in six — without cutting corners.
“Our proven systems and 20-year subcontractor relationships make the difference. The same guys that were here in ’07 are still here today.”
No wondering where you stand. You’ll have access to a live spreadsheet showing exactly where your budget is throughout the entire build.
If you’re worried about going over, you can check anytime — day or night.
“If something breaks five years from now, they can call me. We come fix it. You can call me if your house is 20 years old — we still give that kind of service.”
Unlike builders who disappear after the one-year warranty, we’re here for the long haul.
Scott spent years at KB Homes watching customers sit through painful upgrade meetings. “I had a book this thick,” he recalls. “Do you want a patio light for $100? Do you want a switch to turn on your front porch light? $200. Every single item.”
By the time he started S. Clements Homes, he was done with that approach. “I was so burned out with that approach. I wanted everything already in there. When you come in, you’re getting top-of-the-line everything. That’s how we do business.”
— Scott Clements
When Scott founded S. Clements Homes, he made a decision that changed how homes are built in Northeast Texas. Instead of a base package with endless upgrade fees, every S. Clements Custom Home™ starts with premium features included.
The reasoning is simple: “I wasn’t building little starter houses. I was going to build a super nice house, but give people a fair price. Put all the stuff in it that everybody upgrades to, but give it to you at a flat rate.”
No $7 charge for a patio light. No $200 switch to turn on your porch lights. Just quality, included.
The difference? They still can’t match the price. At $160/sq ft, competitors are charging $300.

We complete most custom homes in six months — half the industry average — without cutting corners. Here’s what the journey looks like.
People walk in here and say they’ve talked to four builders who took a month to give them a price. I can tell them in two seconds looking at their blueprint exactly what it costs — because I know every cent of what it takes to build a house.
Meet with Scott personally to discuss your vision, review plans, and get a fixed-price quote — often in the same meeting. No weeks of waiting, no runaround.
“To this day, I still handwrite every contract. I meet you. I write the contracts. You deal with me through the whole process.”
Finalize your plans and select your finishes. Everything is documented on a shared spreadsheet you can access anytime.
Questions? Scott’s a phone call away.
Sign a fixed-price contract. No allowances that balloon later. No cost-plus guessing games. What you sign is what you pay — period.
Watch your home take shape with walkthroughs at key milestones: after foundation, after framing, before drywall. Our crews have worked together for 20 years — they know exactly what we expect.
“The minute my framer decks the house, he lets the roofer know it’s ready. They all know each other. They all help each other out.”
Final walkthrough together — anything not perfect, we fix before you get the keys. And we’re still here years later if you need us.
When the 2008 financial crisis hit, builders across Northeast Texas went under. They had specs on the ground and land to pay for. S. Clements Homes, just a year old, had neither.
“Everybody around here went out of business,” Scott recalls. “But we just kept growing. The houses people were still building? They came to us. Building 10-12 houses a year as a custom guy in ’08 was pretty good.”
By 2012, S. Clements was the largest custom home builder in East Texas.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAYMany of our customers come back — for their second, third, even fourth home. Here’s what they have to say.
— Scott Clements, Founder
Since 2007, Scott has built over 2,000 homes across Northeast Texas — plus neighborhoods, industrial parks, and even RV parks. But custom homes remain the heart of the business.
“We had a very easy and pleasant building experience with Scott. Our home was built quickly and was exactly what we hoped for. Anytime we have needed anything, Scott has always taken care of it. He is a great custom home builder who stands behind his work and builds beautiful homes at affordable prices, unlike many other builders out there today. S Clements Homes did not forget about us after the “one year” date was up like most other builders. I would definitely recommend building with S Clements Homes.”
Rockwall County
“What he means: Most builders disappear after warranty. We’re still a phone call away.”
“Scott has built several homes for me and friends. One of the best builders out there and always takes care of the little things. I would highly recommend him and the quality is second to none.”
Hunt County
“Repeat customers are our best endorsement. Why would you come back if you weren’t happy?”
My house is now 13 years old, paid for and still fabulous. Scott even found us a bank that gave us under 3% interest rate on a 15 year note. Getting ready to help my daughter get her house built in the near future.
Caddo Mills
“Two generations choosing S. Clements. That’s the goal.”
“Best builder around in my book. He built the house we live in back in 2012. I have never had any structural issues or flaws. Quality is better than expected. Scott is a man of his word.”
Hunt County
“2012 to 2025: 13 years, zero structural issues.”
“We built with Scott 8 years ago. Over the years, we’ve had almost zero issues with the home, but gotten many compliments. Scott gave us a great deal on it and let us do many upgrades at cost, which helped us get the home we wanted at an affordable price. Would definitely recommend.”

From our headquarters in Caddo Mills, we build custom homes within a 100-mile radius — including some of the fastest-growing cities in America.
Here’s something remarkable: Five of the fifteen fastest-growing cities in the entire United States are in our primary service area. Princeton, Melissa, Anna, Fate, and Josephine aren’t just growing — they’re leading the nation. These communities are attracting exactly the customers we serve: people who want custom quality without the custom price tag, in neighborhoods that still feel like neighborhoods
“When I moved to Royse City in ninth grade, there were 54 kids in the whole school. Now? They’ve got 3,000 kids. But Caddo Mills still has that small hometown vibe. Big school, but only 160-170 kids in the graduating class. That’s the kind of community people want to be part of.”
S. Clements Homes isn’t just building houses in these communities — they’re part of them. Scott has donated over $150,000 to local schools, sponsored youth sports for a decade, paid off school lunch debts, and helped families in the community both large and small.

That first house in 2007? Scott tiled it himself, working nights after his day job. The fourth house sold two weeks after he moved into it with his newborn.
2,000 homes later, the approach hasn’t changed: Build something you’d be proud to put your name on. Take care of people. Keep your word.
