What Sets Us Apart

30+ Years in the Highland Lakes

Founded by Clifford Grubbs and continued by Mason Grubbs, our family has been building in Horseshoe Bay and the surrounding Hill Country for over three decades. That kind of longevity is earned — one home at a time.

Repeat & Referred Clients

The majority of our work comes through referrals and repeat clients. Randy Pipkin trusted us to build three homes. Kay Lowe has worked alongside us for 10–15 years. That track record is our most meaningful accolade.

High-End Waterfront Expertise

We specialize in architecturally complex, high-end waterfront and hillside homes — the kind of builds that demand precision, experience, and a builder who asks before they act.

Open-Book Accountability

Weekly budget spreadsheets, transparent pricing, and direct access to Mason throughout the build. Our clients don't wonder what's happening — they know.

Build With a Builder You Can Trust

Our reputation is the result of doing right by every client, on every project. We'd be honored to earn yours.
