Precision Homes

Building with Purpose: The Faith-Focused Foundation of Precision Homes

At Precision Homes, we believe a strong home starts with a strong foundation—and there’s no greater foundation than faith. We bring a faith-driven approach to every step of the journey, honoring our clients, our community, and the values that have shaped us since 1960.

Led by Faith, Built on Legacy
Jason Wieghat, grandson of founder Henry Wieghat, Jr, is a man of deep faith who leads with humility, conviction, and a heart for serving others. Under his leadership, our team continues to operate on timeless biblical principles—honesty, integrity, and stewardship. Jason’s mission is clear: to build homes that reflect the heart of the families who live in them, while honoring the God who makes it all possible.

Faith in Every Foundation
Our commitment to doing business the right way means we approach every project with prayer, integrity, and purpose. We see each home not just as a structure, but as a blessing—an opportunity to serve others and help families plant deep roots.

  • We believe in transparency because truth builds trust.
  • We believe in honoring commitments because your time, investment, and dreams matter
  • We believe in serving others because we are called to love our neighbors well

Not Just a Builder—A Partner in Your Journey
We understand that building a home can feel overwhelming. That’s why we walk beside you with patience and clarity, offering guidance that reflects both professional experience and our heart for service. Whether it’s choosing the right floor plan, navigating financing, or selecting finishes that feel like you, our team is here to serve, not sell.

Looking Ahead: Our Model Home is Coming Soon
We’re excited to start construction of our new model home at Republic Grand Ranch very soon. This space will reflect not only our construction quality and design, but also the spirit of hospitality and purpose that drives everything we do.

Join Us for Our Monthly Seminar
The first Saturday of every month, we host a Build on Your Lot Seminar; lunch is included!

Blackoak Homes

Message from Our Founder

Chances are that, unless you’ve lived in the Montgomery County area for a while, you may not be familiar with Blackoak Homes.

Please allow me to share a little background about who we are and how we are very different than other custom homebuilders.

My name is Mack Davis, and I am one of the founders of Blackoak Homes. My wife and I chose to build our “forever home” here in Republic Grand Ranch. We have been living the dream here for over two years now, and I am more than happy to share firsthand experience about everything from utility bills, trash pickup, schools, and anything else you could possibly think of. We look forward to welcoming you into our Blackoak Homes family and as neighbors in Republic Grand Ranch and The Estates of Texas Grand Ranch!

Some builders offer monthly seminars about their building process, however, we believe in a more personal approach. I personally conduct one-on-one new customer meetings to provide all the information you will need to make good decisions. We offer complimentary property assessments and create custom budget worksheets for each customer, and we can answer any questions about the build-on-your-lot process.

Some of the topics covered in our initial meeting:

  • Overview of the building process and timelines.
  • The estimated costs of your particular project: land cost, build cost, and site development cost, are the three components that make up your total sales price.
  • Features and benefits of our generous standard features versus the cost of upgrades, the lowest price per square foot does not necessarily equal the best value.
  • Addition of outbuildings (shops and casitas) and pools; the things you need to know in the planning process.
  • Site development costs and the variables involved; this number can vary greatly from lot to lot and by decisions you make regarding home placement, tree clearing, and other variables.
  • Energy efficiency features and why Blackoak Homes is one of the most energy-efficient builders in the industry. We can talk for hours about this topic alone!
  • Introduction to the lending process and VA loans. We have been an approved VA builder for many years and love our veterans and law enforcement, many of whom are current Blackoak Homes customers.
  • The Plan Design Process – how it works and how we can help you create and realize your dream!
  • Discussion of the many different things that make Blackoak Homes the best value in custom homebuilding!

I look forward to meeting and helping you navigate the build-on-your-lot homebuilding process, and welcome the opportunity to meet with you in our Republic Grand Ranch model home! My cell phone is (936) 777-5526 if you’d like to schedule an appointment.

The Estates of Texas Grand Ranch New Model Update
We will be breaking ground on our newest custom Blackoak Homes model design, and we believe it is possibly the best model home plan to date!

This new design features a Modern Transitional Style exterior, showcasing high ceilings and a very open concept throughout the main living and kitchen space. A beautiful gourmet kitchen with large walk-in pantry accents many of the standard high-end features that Blackoak Homes is known for. This design is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing at home while enjoying the views from the expansive windows that highlight the natural beauty of your property!

If you would like more information on this new plan or to learn more about our building program in this exciting new community, please reach out to Mack Davis at (936) 777-5526 or email at md@blackoak-homes.com. You can also view some of our many beautiful custom home projects on our Facebook page at Blackoak Homes Texas.

DESIGN TECH HOMES

Home at Last: The Parker Family Begins a New Chapter in Republic Grand Ranch

At Design Tech Homes, we’re honored to build more than just houses — we build homes that support families, dreams, and new beginnings. On April 21st, we had the privilege of welcoming the Parker Family to their new home at Republic Grand Ranch. This project was a heartfelt partnership with Patten Properties and Helping a Hero, an organization dedicated to supporting military personnel severely injured in the Global War on Terror.

We proudly built an adaptable home tailored to meet the unique needs of Specialist Zach Parker, USA (Ret.), his wife Misty, and their two sons. Nestled in the heart of Texas, their new home provides not only comfort and accessibility but also the space to enjoy all the community’s offerings. It’s a place where their family can thrive, surrounded by neighbors who value connection and support.

Building on this spirit of community and personalized service, we invite you to join us for our upcoming in-person seminar, “From Concept to Completion: Experience True Custom Homebuilding,” on June 21st at 10 a.m. at our Republic Grand Ranch model home (15581 Republic Ranch Road South, Willis, TX 77378).

During this seminar, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Step into your future home with VisionBuilt™
  • Learn how to select the perfect homesite
  • Understand site planning and how to best utilize your lot
  • Discover the protection and peace of mind offered by our SureBuilt™ Home Integrity Warranty
  • Explore sustainable, energy-efficient designs that save money and protect the environment

Refreshments will be provided, and space is limited, so be sure to RSVP here to secure your spot.

At Design Tech Homes, we believe your homebuilding journey should be as personal and unique as the family it will shelter. Whether you’re looking to build a home adapted to your family’s needs or starting fresh with a custom design, we’re here to help every step of the way.

We look forward to welcoming you to our community and showing you what true custom homebuilding means.

Royal Texan Homes

Royal Texan Homes LLC Named Best Custom Floorplan Experts in Texas, Two Years in a Row

At Royal Texan Homes, we believe a well-designed home begins long before construction starts. That belief—and the commitment behind it—has recently been recognized with a notable distinction: we’ve been named Best Custom Home Floorplan Experts 2024 & 2025 in Texas by BUILD Magazine.

This recognition is part of BUILD Magazine’s global Home Builder Awards, which spotlights companies leading the way through innovation, design excellence, and integrity. For us, the award affirms a principle that has guided every home we build: to build with care, purpose, and integrity—delivering a home and experience that reflects deep respect for our clients, our craft, and every promise we make. Our in-house architectural team works directly with each client to create homes that reflect their lifestyle, blending historical inspiration with the function and flow of modern life. Because we know that for most of our clients, this home isn’t just a place to live, it’s part of a legacy.

But it’s not just about the design. What makes the Royal Texan process different is our commitment to transparency. We know that building a home can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure where to begin. We host a monthly seminar designed to help landowners understand the custom homebuilding process. The seminar covers key topics such as understanding design and construction timelines and what to expect at each stage of the journey. The goal is to provide clear, useful information and answer all the questions people are often afraid to ask.

If you’re thinking about building or exploring the idea, we’d love to have you join us. You can reach out to one of our Relationship Managers to learn more about upcoming seminar dates and availability.

We’re proud to be part of the Republic Grand Ranch community. Whether you’re ready to start designing your forever home or simply want to learn more about how the process works, we welcome you to visit our model home and experience what makes Royal Texan Homes different.

Home at Last: Republic Grand Ranch Welcomes the Parker Family

On April 21, 2025, retired Army Specialist Zach Parker and his family received a hero’s welcome as they stepped into their new custom-built, fully accessible home for the first time. The Welcome Home Celebration was part of a national initiative led by Helping A Hero and Bass Pro Shops to support wounded veterans with specially adapted homes. Design Tech Homes donated and built the Parker family’s home, supported by an incredible team of vendors who gave generously to bring the project to life.

The homesite, generously donated by Patten Properties, the developer of Republic Grand Ranch, marked the beginning of this journey, which officially kicked off with a patriotic groundbreaking ceremony on July 16, 2024. The Republic Grand Ranch community rallied around the Parker family with pride and support, laying the foundation for their new chapter.

The project came full circle with a powerful Welcome Home event on April 21, 2025, featuring students from Willis ISD, first responders from the Willis Fire and Police Departments, and special guest Marcus Luttrell, the Lone Survivor. It was a day filled with music, unity, and a joyful reminder of what makes our community so special.

A special thank you goes out to all the staff, neighbors, community members, and volunteers who came together to make this project possible. On behalf of the entire Patten Properties family, we extend a warm welcome home to the Parker family.

DESIGN TECH HOMES

Experience True Custom Homebuilding and Build with Confidence

At Design Tech Homes, we believe building your custom home should be an exciting and reassuring journey. Our comprehensive approach ensures you feel confident every step of the way.

Our Story
The Design Tech Homes story began over 25 years ago with a shared dream: to make a meaningful difference in the homebuilding industry. We envisioned a place where families could experience the true benefits of custom homebuilding, designed around their lifestyle and built with care.

From the start, we embraced technology as a tool to make the homebuilding process more efficient, precise, and cost-effective. Today, that vision comes to life with our VisionBuilt™ Home Design, which allows our clients to walk through their custom homes in stunning virtual reality before construction even begins. This game-changing approach ensures every detail feels just right, driving greater efficiency and reducing costly changes.

But at the heart of it all, our business has always been about people. By helping families create their forever homes, we become part of their story and build relationships that last long after the home is complete.

Helping a Hero
Our passion for homebuilding extends beyond our clients. It is also about giving back to those who serve our communities.

On April 21, 2025, we will proudly welcome the Parker Family into their new custom home. This project goes beyond construction. It is about fostering a sense of belonging and strengthening the community.

Thanks to Helping a Hero, Patten Properties, Republic Grand Ranch, and the many generous donors, this adaptable home is a true testament to love, support, and honor. From groundbreaking to framing and now the finishing touches, this journey has been fueled by the power of community.

Royal Texan Homes

Royal Texan Homes Revolutionizes Custom Home Building Through Innovation & Client-Centric Approach

Royal Texan Homes LLC has emerged as a transformative force in Texas’s custom home-building sector. Founded by Mark Garraty following his own frustrating experience as a custom home client, the company has revolutionized the building process through innovative design, superior construction science, and an unwavering commitment to client relationships.

“We’re not just building homes,” Garraty explains. “We’re reinventing how the entire process works.”

Royal Texan Homes has swiftly grown, completing over 50 unique homes each year and garnering widespread acclaim. In 2024, the company won four Texas Association of Builders (TAB) Star Awards and three Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Prism Awards, including Designer of the Year and being recognized as one of the Top 3 Custom Home Builders in the Greater Houston Area, adding to its previous accolades. It was also recognized in 2024 with the Build Magazine Architecture Award for Custom Floor Plan Experts in Texas.

What sets Royal Texan Homes apart is their revolutionary project management approach. Royal Texan limits each manager to just five projects simultaneously. This intentional restriction ensures superior communication and attention to detail throughout the building process.

The company’s focus on both client and employee satisfaction is evident in its Great Place to Work survey score of 96%, reflecting a workplace that values its team and, by extension, produces superior homes. Their approach of integrating architectural excellence with meticulous project management has led to homes that surpass client expectations.

“While we haven’t invented something completely new like the internet or electric cars, we’ve proven that even in a long-established industry, there’s always room for significant improvement,” Garraty notes. “We’re showing that with determination and careful stewardship, you can transform an industry’s standard practices.”

As Royal Texan Homes continues to grow, they remain focused on their core mission: changing the residential construction industry in Texas through their integrated and passionate approach. Their success proves that by prioritizing quality, communication, and relationships, it’s possible to transform even the most traditional industries.

Come Visit Our Model Home!
We warmly invite you to visit our model home, where you can see firsthand the exceptional craftsmanship and care that goes into every Royal Texan Homes project. Our team is ready to walk you through our carefully designed spaces, share our process, and answer any questions you may have. Let us help you envision your custom home coming to life.

When it comes to adding extra space to your property, metal outbuildings provide numerous benefits that make them a top choice for many homeowners. Here’s why:

  • Durability: Metal outbuildings are built to last, withstanding the elements and requiring less maintenance than traditional wood structures.
  • Energy Efficiency: Metal buildings can be insulated effectively, providing better energy efficiency compared to other materials.
  • Versatility: These structures can serve various purposes, such as workshops, garages, storage spaces, or even barns, tailored to your specific needs.
  • Quick Construction: Metal buildings generally have faster construction times, so you can begin using your space sooner.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, which can deteriorate over time, metal outbuildings are resistant to pests, rot, and weather damage, requiring minimal upkeep.
