Will Steed Homes is fortunate to have the best clients around. Our goal is to exceed your expectations, and at the end of the process, you know that the right builder was selected. When the Sparrows started the building process, they began by interviewing 5 local builders in the Granbury area. Our experience proved to put us above the rest. Will Steed Homes is grateful
There is nothing more precious to each of us than our families. Their well-being and safety is our highest priority. And that's what having a home represents: safety and well being. Our homes shelter us from the weather, and keep our selves and our possessions from being threatened by bad people. Or do they really? All too often we read about violent weather that rips
Here at Will Steed Homes, we think pergolas are such great garden features. Acting as an arbor with trained vines growing up and over the top, or even as a type of gazebo, they form wonderful shaded walkways or sitting areas with their own distinct character. Whether stand alone or as an extension to a building, a custom pergola brings a distinctive character to any
With an ever-growing selection of techno-gadgets that are coming into our homes, odds are there is an electronic device around you at all times. Smart phones and tablets are not trends anymore: they are part of our lives and will only get more prevalent. And regardless of what kind of geek you are (or aren't), we all know how frustrating it is to look for
We built a custom home for a client whose lot had breathtaking 180-degree views of Lake Granbury in their back yard. Unfortunately, that also included a clear view of the neighbor's unfinished backyard—and their back patio. They came back to us to help them find a way to give them some separation and privacy without being "unfriendly"... and also stay in line with the HOA
If you ever listen to the radio here in North Texas, you always hear ads for foundation repair companies...between our weather extremes, expansive soils, and poor workmanship that abounds here, foundation slabs have a lot to contend with. But there's another issue that can be a homeowner's nightmare: slab leaks caused by plumbing issues that go undetected as water piping is placed below the slab
Yes, we are custom home builders, but around here, especially in lake communities like Granbury, we like to live outside, too. When we build a home for our clients, we ask them how they want to enjoy their yard: are you going to have a pool? Is an outdoor kitchen important? Inevitably, the answer is yes to one or both those questions. But as you
Everyone has heard about the devastating tornado that hit our hometown of Granbury this last May 15, and of the horrific tornadoes spawned in Oklahoma just the week after. The lives lost and damage to property galvanized the nation. As Texans, (and like our neighbors in Oklahoma) we realize that Spring and Fall bring the potential for damaging straight line winds, torrential downpours, and yes,
As custom home builders in the Granbury and North Texas area, we've seen quite a few new technologies storm on the scene in the last few years to make new homes far more efficient in terms of energy use and space savings. One of those technologies is the tankless water heater. If you do a little online research, you can see a variety of consumer
If you’ve never been to Granbury—a short 30 minute drive southwest of Fort Worth—you don’t know what a fabulous community it is: a scenic lake, a vibrant and historic downtown square, and a home-town atmosphere with plenty to do. If you have been to Granbury, or even if you live here, you already know it’s a perfect place to call home. Here at Will Steed
You've heard this before: With all billboards on the highways, banner ads on the internet, and brochures at the big home improvement stores, this has got to be true, right? This is a perfect example of argumentum ad populum, or "if many believe so, it is so." But is it? Let's look at what it takes to build a house. First, you need a lot

Screening in a porch can extend the living area of a home when pests and a hot or glaring sun tends to spoil even the best of outdoor living. Done properly, a screened porch can add significant value to a home by transforming an unused porch into an extension of the living area. Have a look at the video of a remodel where we installed 3
How much more does it cost to do spray foam insulation on new construction? I've done this comparison many times in the last few years, and the answer comes up different every time. The main factors determining the overall cost are 1) the area of the roofline that would be foamed, and 2) the cubic volume of the area to be heated and cooled. We
