Our Story
Find Out How It All Began
INTRO TO OUR FAMILY BUSINESS
Texas Elite Custom Homes is a family owned and operated business. The owners are Tony and Kristi Williams, and they have three sons, Tony III, Tyler, and Kasen. Tony III has his own successful career and is married with a beautiful daughter. Tyler joined the family business in 2018 and currently works as a construction manager for the company. Kasen is still very active in school and sports and hopes to work for the company when he’s older.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Texas Elite Custom Homes was founded by Tony Williams in 2008. When Tony was growing up, he spent countless hours exploring the unfinished houses his father was building. The smell of fresh lumber, the sound of hammers and saws, the thrill of seeing a house grow from a bare foundation to a finished home – it was all a part of his childhood. His father, a seasoned homebuilder, instilled in Tony a deep appreciation for the craft. He spent his summers and weekends helping on construction sites, learning the trade from the ground up.
FOLLOWING HIS FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS
During high school and college, Tony ran a very successful landscaping company while also playing football for the University of Houston. Several years after college, he sold his landscaping company to pursue a career with the Houston Police Department. Tony spent time as a law enforcement officer, followed by new home sales and then a construction project manager for a local custom builder. As Tony grew older, he realized that he wanted to follow in his late father's footsteps, and he decided to venture out on his own as a builder. In 2008, he started his own custom home building business. He knew it would be challenging, but his goal was to create homes that were not only beautiful but also functional and personalized to each client's unique needs.
THE HUSBAND & WIFE TEAM
In 2009, his wife Kristi, a graduate of Texas A&M University, joined forces with him to help him grow the company into what it is today. Despite the challenges and long hours that come with running a business, Tony and Kristi are grateful for the opportunity to do what they love. They have built a successful company, built a lot of beautiful homes and have left a positive impact with their clients who afford them the opportunity to build their dream homes.
