What Our Clients Are Saying About Their New Homes

We absolutely love every square foot of our new home! The entire Dunn and Stone team was amazing to work with, as well as very patient and friendly, tending to every small request we had. They designed our new house to maximize the view on our property and had many great recommendations.“

Debbie C.

We couldn't be happier with Dunn & Stone Builders! Our home in Magnolia was completed in July 2017. This is our second Dunn & Stone home. After researching several new home builders, it became evident that no one else could match the quality and competitive cost to build our home. We shared our design plans and they brought our dream home to life! What amazed us was that there were absolutely NO hidden costs, great communication throughout the project, and it was completed on time.”

Karen K.

This company does some excellent work. When we were considering buying one of their homes they were very helpful in making sure that we comfortable and well informed about the entire experience. Our home is beautiful and is constructed with quality materials and even better craftsmanship. We've only had one problem arise that was covered by warranty and they had a technician at the house within a matter of hours. It's been a great experience working with them.”

How Long a Montgomery Build Takes

Most of our custom homes take 9 to 14 months from first agreement to move-in. Design and permitting come first, then the construction phase.

Our local knowledge keeps that timeline on track. County floodplain signoff, septic approval, and HOA review each add weeks when they are missed.

One recent custom home we delivered in Montgomery Trace was just over 3,300 square feet and moved from start to delivery in 243 days.

Permits and Site Work for Montgomery County Lots

Montgomery County permitting is generally straightforward and takes two to three weeks for most lots. We see more complexity on rural acreage, where septic and well planning add steps, and on lots near Lake Conroe, where slope can require pier-and-beam foundations.

Municipal lots inside the City of Montgomery follow city rules, which add cost and review time compared with unincorporated county land. We handle these steps as part of our standard process so you don't have to chase paperwork on your own.

Some lot prep is already built into our base price. Longer driveways and sloped lots that need imported fill can raise it, so we price site work for your specific lot during our Exploration phase.

Custom Home FAQs

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Montgomery County?

Our Montgomery County homes are best suited to the $500,000 to $1.5 million range, and we'd be glad to help you find where your home lands in it. Before land, that works out to about $180 to $250 per square foot depending on finish level, and a fixed contract price locks in your number once the plan is set.

Do you need a permit to build a house in Montgomery County, TX?

Every new home needs a development permit through the county or city, and we take care of that paperwork for you. Lots without public sewer also need a septic permit, and every new home needs its own address from the county's 911 addressing office. We handle floodplain reviews and septic planning as part of our standard process.

Can Dunn & Stone build on land I already own?

We'd be glad to build on your land if it's a buildable lot inside our roughly 60-mile radius of Pinehurst, which covers Montgomery County and much of North Houston. If you're still looking for a lot, we can connect you with partners who help buyers find and secure land.

How long does it take to build a home in Montgomery?

Most of our custom homes take 9 to 14 months from first agreement to move-in, with design and permitting first and construction after. Recent builds in Crown Ranch and Montgomery Trace finished construction in 217 and 243 days.

Do you offer construction loans and financing?

We combine construction and permanent financing into one loan with one closing, which keeps the money side of your build simple. A design deposit of $10,000 to $15,000 starts the process, then you put 10% to 15% down at closing. Buyers with equity in a current home can often apply it toward the down payment.

What Montgomery neighborhoods do you build in?

We'd love to build in your neighborhood, and we've built in communities like Grand Lake Estates, Montgomery Trace, Crown Oaks, Ridgelake Shores, and High Meadow Estates, plus private acreage throughout the county.
