Why Build a Custom Home in Josephine, TX
Josephine is experiencing something remarkable: explosive growth (18%+ annually — among the fastest small-town growth rates in Texas) while somehow preserving the rural character that makes small-town Texas special.
This isn’t a place being transformed by master-planned subdivisions and tract homes. Josephine remains what it’s always been: a community where customers build custom homes on their own land, where neighbors know each other, and where Texas countryside is right outside your door.
At just 8 miles from our Caddo Mills headquarters, Josephine is practically an extension of our home base. When you build with S. Clements Homes here, you’re working with neighbors — people who drive these roads, shop in these stores, and care about this community.
The Josephine Advantage
Rural Character Preserved
Despite rapid growth, Josephine maintains its small-town Texas identity. This isn't suburbia — it's country living within reach of everything you need. Open land, quiet roads, room to breathe.
18%+ Annual Growth
Josephine is growing faster than almost any small town in Texas. Customers are discovering what makes this community special — and getting in now means building in a place with serious momentum.
Excellent BOYL Opportunities
Josephine is highly BOYL-friendly with an excellent custom land profile. If you want to build on your own land — whether you already own it or you're still looking — this is the right place.
8 Miles from Our Headquarters
We're practically neighbors. At 8 miles from our office, Josephine is closer than most builders' commute to work. When you need us, we can be there in minutes.
Growing Community
Josephine is part of the Melissa ISD, benefiting from the investment and growth happening across this fast-expanding region.

WHY S. CLEMENTS HOMES
What Makes S. Clements Homes Different
When you’re building a custom home in Josephine, you want a builder who understands rural construction, who’s accessible when you need them, and who delivers what they promise. Here’s why customers in small-town Texas 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? 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. And at 8 miles away, we can be there quickly.
"Your house is 20 years old? You can still call me."
