  • How long does it take to build a home?
    About 4 to 5 months. Many factors including the weather, contractor’s schedules, and material availability affect the length of time it will take to build your home. See our 10 Steps to Building Your Home.

  • Do you have homes available for immediate move in?
    Generally, we have a few homes for sale that are either under construction or already completed. See our Featured Homes.

  • Can I make changes to one of your floor plans, like moving a wall or adding square footage?
    Maybe. We will consider requests on a case-by-case basis. Any change we make must be structurally sound, economically feasible, and aesthetically acceptable.

  • Will I have to drive all over town to your suppliers to pick out my paint, carpet, and other selections?
    No, we think that is an inconvenience for homebuyers. We have a wide array of selections available for viewing at our Model Home.

  • Some builders offer very limited choices when it comes to paint, carpet, and other selections. How much of a choice will I have at Casey Homes?
    Our Model Home selection room is well stocked and constantly updated with the most popular materials, colors, and styles available. Casey Homes offers more choices than most of our competitors who build homes in the same price range. We have literally dozens of bricks, carpets, countertops, and floor tiles to choose from.

  • Can I change something about my home once you have started building?
    Our building process is designed to help homebuyers determine their needs and explore the possibilities available to them before we begin construction. This system minimizes the need for “Change Orders” or making changes once construction has begun. However, if it is not cost prohibitive, we will consider requests to make changes once the home is underway. Consult our Casey Homes Sales Associate for our current “Change Order” policy.

  • What is Casey Homes’ new home warranty?
    All Casey Homes are covered by an Express Written Warranty featuring a 10 year, limited, transferrable, structural warranty, a 2 year mechanical warranty, and a 1 year warranty on workmanship and materials. The 2 year mechanical warranty covers all electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other mechanical systems in the home for the first two years. Our warranty is backed by Bonded Builders Warranty Group, a third party warranty administrator. The 10 year limited, structural warranty is transferrable if the home is sold in the first 10 years.

  • What assurances do I have that I am getting a well built home?
    • Casey Homes is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Central East Texas.
    • Casey Homes is a member of the Tyler Area Builder’s Association.
    • All Casey Homes will be given a HERS Index rating. Each home will be inspected by an independent certified HERS Rater to ensure compliance and quality control. Learn more about the HERS Index here.
    • All Casey Homes built within the Tyler city limits and some other municipalities must pass numerous city building inspections throughout construction before they are given a final Certificate of Occupancy.
    • All Casey Homes built in rural areas where no municipal inspections are required will be inspected by a third party home inspector in accordance with our third party warranty agreement with Bonded Builders Warranty Group.
    • Casey Homes employs reputable contractors and high quality materials.
  • Will I be able to view my home while it is under construction?
    You may schedule walk-throughs with us while your home is under construction to check on the progress and have questions answered. More importantly, we will have a final walk-through and orientation when your home is finished. It is our policy that all cosmetic defects and known warranty items be repaired to your satisfaction before we close and hand you your new keys. It is Casey Homes’ policy that homebuyers and the general public are to stay clear of construction sites, as there are many hazards that could cause serious bodily injury or even death.

  • Can I buy two or more adjacent lots and build my home in the middle of them?
    It depends on the neighborhood that you build in. In many neighborhoods, such as Guinn Farms in south Tyler, it is not allowed.

  • Will Casey Homes build on land that I own?
    Yes. We are currently building homes in Anderson, Cherokee, Henderson, and Smith counties. For more information on building on your land, click here.

  • Does Casey Homes offer financing?
    We do not finance ourselves, but we have many friends who do. Check out our Mortgage Lender partners.

  • Will I need interim financing (or a “construction loan”) to build my new home with Casey Homes?
    If you are building on one of our neighborhood lots: No. You will only need a permanent mortgage loan when the home is finished and a prequalification letter from your lender before we get started. If you are building on your land: Yes. You will obtain your own interim financing since the land is in your name. For more information about building on your land, click here.

  • What does it take to get started building a new home?
    That is explained in the first couple of steps of our 10 Steps to Building Your Home.
