Building in My Hometown
Royse City isn’t just a service area for S. Clements Homes — it’s where Scott Clements grew up.
"When I moved to Royse City in ninth grade, there were 54 kids in the whole school. Now they've got 3,000 kids. I watched this town grow up — and now I'm proud to be building homes here.”
— Scott Clements, Royse City Class of 1991
Scott moved to Royse City in ninth grade, starting over in a small town where everybody knew everybody. He graduated from Royse City High School in 1991 and has called Northeast Texas home ever since.
That personal history means something. When you build with S. Clements Homes in Royse City, you’re not working with an outside company that sees your town as just another market. You’re working with someone who grew up on these roads, who knows these neighborhoods, who has roots here.
Why It Matters
When your builder has a personal stake in the community, it shows. Scott’s reputation in Royse City and Rockwall County is built on relationships that go back decades — classmates, neighbors, friends who’ve become customers, and customers who’ve become friends. Many customers have built multiple homes with S. Clements over the years. When they sell and build again, they come back.
That’s not just repeat business. That’s trust earned over a lifetime.

THE ROYSE CITY OPPORTUNITY
Why Build a Custom Home in Royse City, TX
Royse City has transformed from the small town Scott knew in 1991 into one of the most desirable communities along the I-30 corridor. With steady growth of 10-12% annually, customers are discovering what longtime residents already know: Royse City offers an exceptional quality of life.
The Royse City Advantage
I-30 Corridor Location
Easy access to Dallas employment centers while maintaining small-town character. Royse City sits at the sweet spot — connected but not congested.
Royse City ISD
A growing school district investing in facilities and programs. The community takes pride in its schools.
Value Proposition
Seeking Rockwall County quality without Rockwall city prices? Royse City delivers. You get the county services and school options with more affordable land and a community that still feels like a community.
Smart Growth
Royse City is growing thoughtfully. New development brings amenities while the community works to maintain the character that makes it special.
Build-On-Your-Land Opportunities
Royse City offers excellent options for building on your own land. Areas like Bent Trail Estates, Vista Oaks Estates, and the Union Valley area provide acreage properties with minimal restrictions and no HOA requirements — increasingly rare in the DFW metroplex.
For customers looking to build a custom home on their own terms — not a production house in a cookie-cutter subdivision — Royse City offers one of the best opportunities in Rockwall County.

10-Minute Proximity

WHY S. CLEMENTS HOMES
What Makes S. Clements Homes Different
Scott could build anywhere in Northeast Texas. But when he builds in Royse City, it’s personal. Here’s what every Royse City customer gets when they choose S. Clements Homes:
Fixed-Price Contracts
No cost-plus guessing games. When you sign a contract with us, that's your price — period. If it changes, it's because you changed something, not us.
"If you sign a contract for $450,000, it's $450,000 when we're finished."
$160 Per Square Foot
Our Standard Package includes premium features most builders charge extra for — spray foam insulation, granite countertops, tankless water heater, 8-foot doors, and more. All at $160 per square foot under roof.
"Our starting point is tenfold what most builders offer as their top end."
No Markup on Upgrades
Want to upgrade your granite or extend your hardwood floors? You pay only the price difference — no 25% markup. We pass our buying power directly to you.
"Why would I mark it up? That's shady — you're already paying me to build."
Lifetime Support
We don't disappear after the one-year warranty. If something needs attention five years from now — or twenty — you can still call us. In Royse City, we're not just your builder. We're your neighbor.
"Your house is 20 years old? You can still call me."
