Why Build a Custom Home in Tyler, TX
Tyler isn’t just another Texas city — it’s the heart of East Texas. As the region’s healthcare, education, and cultural center, Tyler offers something the crowded DFW suburbs can’t: room to breathe, land to build on, and a quality of life that draws people back generation after generation.
What makes Tyler special for custom home building? The land. While DFW buyers fight over quarter-acre lots in master-planned communities, Tyler-area customers are building their dream homes on real acreage — with trees, space, and privacy. That’s the East Texas way.
Regional healthcare hub (UT Health, CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances)
Strong education sector (UT Tyler, excellent school districts)
Stable energy industry employment
Abundant land for custom home sites
Far less master-planned restriction than DFW
Growing steadily without losing its character
"Tyler is on fire right now. The growth is real, and customers there want something different — not a tract home, but a real custom home on land they can call their own. That's exactly what we build."
— Scott Clements
For professionals in healthcare, education, or energy — or anyone who simply wants more space and less compromise — Tyler delivers.

YOUR BUILD
Building Your Custom Home in Tyler and East Texas
Whether you have land in Smith County, found acreage near Lindale, or are exploring the Tyler area, we’ll help you build exactly the home you want — on your timeline, within your budget, without games.
Your Land, Your Vision
Have acreage in East Texas? We’ll build on it. Found a property outside Tyler you love? We’ll make it work. Our build-on-your-land expertise means your home goes exactly where you want it — no subdivision restrictions, no approved builder lists, no compromises.
Fixed-Price Certainty
At $160 per square foot under roof, you know what you’re paying before we break ground. That price includes premium features other builders charge extra for. And when we say fixed-price, we mean it — if you sign for $450,000, that’s what you pay.
25 Years of Building Excellence
Since 2007, S. Clements Homes has built over 2,000 custom homes across Northeast Texas. We’ve served customers from the DFW metroplex to East Texas — earning our reputation through honest pricing, quality craftsmanship, and standing behind every home we build.
WHY S. CLEMENTS
What Makes S. Clements Homes Different
In an industry where surprises and hidden fees are the norm, we’ve built our reputation on doing the opposite.
Fixed-Price Contracts
What you sign is what you pay. Period. We don't play cost-plus games where invoices can be manipulated.
No Markup on Upgrades
Want better granite? You pay only the difference — not a 25% builder markup. We pass our buying power directly to you.
Payment After Work
We've taken over too many projects from builders who took deposits and disappeared. You don't pay us until we've done the work.
6-Month Build Time
Most custom builders take 18 months. Our proven systems and 20-year subcontractor relationships mean we complete homes in six — without cutting corners.
Lifetime Support
Your one-year warranty ends? We don't disappear. Call us five years from now — or twenty — and we'll still help.
"We're honest. We do what we say we're going to do. And at the end of the day, if something breaks, we're going to come fix it. That's pretty much it."
— Scott Clements, Founder
THE STANDARD PACKAGE
What's Included in Every Tyler Custom Home
