We take on a small number of homes each year, deliberately, each one designed around its owners, its light, and its land.

No pressure, no shortcuts. Just an honest standard of craft, held from the first drawing to the final walkthrough.

01

Design-Led

Architecture, interiors, and budget resolved together before the first pour, not after.

02

A Standard of Finish

Flush reveals, aligned grain, shadow-gap millwork, details most builders don't attempt.

03

Single Accountability

One builder of record, one schedule, one point of contact through delivery and warranty.

04

DFW Fluency

Neighborhood-level knowledge of lots, codes, and what each street expects of a home.

02 · What You're Paying For

Quality you see. Quality you feel.

I want to be straight about what you'd actually be getting for it.

Most builders sell quality as finishes: paint, cabinetry, the stuff you see on day one. For me the quality does not stop there; what actually matters even more is invisible: a tight envelope, water management, the mechanical systems designed before we break ground. That's what makes a home healthy, efficient, quiet, and still solid in 20 years.

I came up remodeling. I've opened too many walls to see what happens when that part gets skipped. The finishes are the easy part.

"I build for the part you can't see."

04 · Design Language

Four pillars, one signature.

Light.

Designed around natural light by day, then layered cove and LED, statement fixtures, and landscape uplighting as the architecture comes alive at dusk.

Texture & Materiality.

White oak, matte black metal, natural stone, limewash plaster, large-format slab, materials chosen to be touched, not just seen.

The Invisible Craft.

"In a true custom build, you don't see the systems."

Linear slot diffusers flush to the ceiling. Concealed returns. No visible trim, no clumsy reveals. Audio, video, and climate integrated into the architecture. The engineering disappears. The architecture remains.

Modern Living.

Renovation, built like new construction.

Sebby Homes renovates homes across Dallas–Fort Worth: kitchens, primary suites and baths, additions and second stories, whole-home remodels, wine cellars, and backyards and front yards, held to the same standard as the custom homes we build from the ground up.

I came up remodeling. Before I built a single new home, I spent years opening walls in other people's houses, and that is where I learned what actually matters.

Behind a tired kitchen there is usually a bigger story: a missing vapor barrier, a duct run that was never sealed, a joist someone notched for a drain. A cosmetic remodel covers it back up. I don't.

When we open a wall, we fix what's behind it, then finish it to the standard of a new custom home.

"Open the walls once. Fix what's behind them."
Seb

Living through it

On most kitchen, bath, and suite projects you stay in the house. The work area is sealed off, and you know which rooms stay usable, and when water and power are off, before demolition starts.

On whole-home remodels we tell you up front if moving out for part of the job is the better call. Either way, you follow every step in your six9 Builder portal.

01

Kitchens

Layout, cabinetry, stone, and appliances, plus the ventilation, electrical, and plumbing behind them.

See kitchens
02

Primary Suites & Baths

Curbless showers and floating vanities, with waterproofing done before tile, not hoped for after.

See bathrooms
03

Additions & Second Stories

New square footage that matches the original structure, roofline, and finish, so it never reads as added on.

04

Whole-Home Remodels

Down to the studs where it needs to be: envelope, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and every finish.

05

Backyards & Outdoor Living

Outdoor kitchens, covered patios, hardscape, and landscape, built by the same team as the house.

06

Front Yards & Curb Appeal

Entries, walkways, driveways, lighting, and planting that give the house the arrival it deserves.

07

Wine Cellars & Wine Rooms

Glass-walled wine rooms and climate-controlled cellars, with insulation, vapor barrier, and cooling built in before the racking goes up.

One builder of record. A plan for your household. Nothing left behind the walls.
07 · Our Process

From first drawing to your front door.

01

Design

Architecture, interiors, and budget resolved as one, not in sequence.

02

Preconstruction

Engineering, permits, selections, and a transparent build plan.

03

Build

Disciplined site leadership, clean sites, and weekly owner updates.

04

Finish-Out

The invisible-craft stage: millwork, systems, light, and detail.

05

Handover

Final walkthrough, systems training, and responsive warranty care.

Five phases. One point of accountability. No surprises along the way.

Questions, answered.

What owners ask most about building or renovating a home with Sebby Homes in Dallas–Fort Worth.

What areas does Sebby Homes build in?

Sebby Homes builds custom luxury homes across Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas, including Highland Park, Preston Hollow, University Park, Southlake, Westlake, Uptown, and Knox–Henderson. As a design-led custom builder rooted in DFW, we know the lots, neighborhoods, and permitting in each of these communities.

Does Sebby Homes build on my lot?

Yes. Sebby Homes builds custom homes on your lot anywhere in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The process starts with a conversation and a walk of your site, where we read the land together before design begins.

What makes Sebby Homes different from a production or volume builder?

Sebby Homes is a design-led custom builder with single accountability (one builder, one schedule, one point of contact), not a production builder working from fixed floor plans. Architecture, interiors, and budget are resolved together before construction, and the finish is held to a standard of flush reveals, aligned grain, and shadow-gap millwork.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Dallas–Fort Worth?

A custom home from Sebby Homes typically takes about 14 to 24 months from first design to handover, depending on the size of the home, the complexity of the site, and city permitting. The five stages are Design, Preconstruction, Build, Finish-Out, and Handover.

How much does a custom home cost with Sebby Homes?

Custom home pricing with Sebby Homes depends on the lot, the size of the home, and the level of finish, and it is resolved transparently during design and preconstruction rather than quoted from a template. See our detailed breakdown of what it costs to build a custom home in Dallas–Fort Worth.

How does the Sebby Homes process work?

Sebby Homes follows a five-stage process: Design (architecture, interiors, and budget as one), Preconstruction (engineering, permits, and selections), Build (disciplined site leadership with weekly owner updates), Finish-Out (the invisible craft of millwork, systems, and light), and Handover (final walkthrough, systems training, and warranty care). Clients follow every step through the six9 Builder client portal.

Does Sebby Homes do renovations, or only new homes?

Both. Seb Pessy came up remodeling before building new custom homes, and Sebby Homes renovates kitchens, primary suites and baths, additions and second stories, whole homes, wine cellars, and backyards and front yards across Dallas–Fort Worth, held to the same standard as its new construction.

Can we live in the house during a renovation?

On most kitchen, bath, and suite projects, yes. The work area is sealed off, and you know which rooms stay usable, and when water and power are off, before demolition starts. On whole-home remodels Sebby Homes tells you up front if moving out for part of the job is the better call.

What happens if you find a problem behind the walls?

Sebby Homes shows it to you before anything is covered back up, with photos in your six9 Builder client portal, and agrees the fix and its cost with you in writing before the work continues. Finding those problems is the point of opening the walls.

Does Sebby Homes remodel backyards and front yards?

Yes. Sebby Homes builds outdoor kitchens, covered patios, hardscape, landscape, entries, walkways, and driveways across Dallas–Fort Worth, with the same team and the same standard as the house itself.
