Why Build a Custom Home in Melissa, TX
Melissa, Texas has emerged as one of America’s fastest-growing cities — ranked #11 nationally for population growth. Customers are discovering what makes Melissa special: Collin County quality without the restrictions that have taken over nearby markets.
Here’s what sets Melissa apart: while communities like Celina and Prosper have become dominated by master-planned developments with approved builder lists, Melissa remains build-on-your-lot friendly. You can still choose your own builder, your own plan, your own land.
For customers relocating from Plano, Allen, or McKinney who want more land and true custom home freedom, Melissa is the answer.
The Melissa Advantage
Collin County Location
All the benefits of Collin County — excellent environment, strong property values — in a community that's still growing into its potential. Access to US-75 puts major employment centers within easy reach.
Melissa ISD
A growing school district with community support and investment in the future. Melissa ISD serves families who chose this community specifically for the quality of life it offers.
Collin County Value
Seeking Collin County schools and services without Celina or Prosper prices? Melissa delivers. Land is more attainable, restrictions are fewer, and custom home dreams are still possible.
Growth with Access
Melissa is growing at 10-13% annually, but it hasn't lost what makes it special. Customers moving here now are getting in while the opportunity is still open.
Build-On-Your-Land Freedom
Unlike neighboring cities that now require you to use approved builders within master-planned communities, Melissa still offers genuine BOYL opportunities. You choose your land. You choose your builder. You choose your plan.

YOUR MELISSA CUSTOM HOME
Building Your Custom Home in Melissa

"Yeah, we go there. Built a bunch of houses in Melissa."
— Scott Clements, Founder
Proven Melissa Experience
When Scott says “we’ve built a bunch of houses in Melissa,” he means it. We understand this market, we know the local requirements, and we have a track record of successful projects here. You’re not our first Melissa client — you’re joining a community of satisfied homeowners.
20-Minute Proximity
Our Caddo Mills headquarters is just 20 miles from Melissa. That’s ideal so that we can still offer our standard-setting responsive service and regular site supervision. When you need us, we’re right there — not managing your project from the other side of the metroplex.
BOYL Expertise
Melissa’s build-on-your-land opportunities require a builder who understands lot development, site preparation, and working outside the cookie-cutter constraints of master-planned communities. That’s exactly what we do.
WHY S. CLEMENTS HOMES
What Makes S. Clements Homes Different
Melissa is attracting customers from across the metroplex — and plenty of builders have noticed. Here’s why customers who want genuine custom quality 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? You're already paying me to build your home so we pass the value on to you."
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. That's how we've built our reputation across 2,000+ homes.
"Your house is 20 years old? You can still call me."
