Royal Texan Homes: The Most Awarded Custom Home Builder in the Greater Houston Area

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Royal Texan Homes LLC is recognized as the most awarded custom home builder in the Greater Houston area, winning four prestigious awards and earning 11 nominations in the custom builder category at the 2024 Texas Association of Builders (TAB) Annual Star Awards. The show was held on July 12th at the Fort Worth Convention Center. This achievement marks the second consecutive year of outstanding recognition for Royal Texan Homes LLC which has corporate offices in The Woodlands.

The TAB Star Awards, presented annually since 1992, are the only statewide tribute to excellence in the homebuilding industry, recognizing excellence in all areas of the residential construction industry. This year’s program set a new record with over 850 entries, with the awards presented by emcee Carisha Swanson, Market Director for House Beautiful.

Rooted in a vision of faith, integrity and relationships, Royal Texan Homes LLC is redefining success in the homebuilding industry. Their commitment to ethics and excellence not only challenges the typical narrative of business success but also sets a new standard in custom homebuilding.

"I saw a desperate need for a new type of homebuilder that understood aesthetic designs, construction technology and experience,” says Mark Garraty, Founder of Royal Texan Homes LLC. “Our mission is simple: to build homes that our clients are proud of—homes that will last forever. At Royal Texan Homes LLC, ethics lead the way and being the best means more than just being the biggest. Our clients aren’t just customers; they become friends and part of our family, and that relationship endures.”

This commonsense approach to doing the right thing and delivering on an unwavering ethical commitment to their clients challenges the often-negative perception of homebuilding, and Garraty is proud to be leading a team who are driving improvements in homebuilding industry practices.

Royal Texan Homes won four statewide Star Awards in the categories of Best Architectural Design, Best Living Room, Best Overall Interior Design and Best Specialty Room. These prestigious accolades underscore the company’s dedication to seamlessly combining historic elegance with modern functionality, ensuring that each home is not only visually stunning but also built for lasting durability.

Garraty says the company’s success is rooted in its award-winning architectural and interior designers and construction project managers. These talented professionals embody the company's slogan, "Historically Inspired, Designed for Modern Living." Each project is a collaborative effort, where architectural designers work closely with clients to create house plans that are as functional as they are beautiful. By seamlessly blending historic elegance with modern needs, they ensure every home perfectly reflects the client's design aesthetic, lifestyle functionality and budget.

"Our experience with Royal Texan Homes LLC has set the bar for the relationship and process a builder and a family should have,” says one satisfied client in a Google Review. Another client praises the team in a Houzz Review as “personable and highly skilled professionals” who made the entire custom build process “quite enjoyable.” The feedback emphasizes the exceptional quality of their homes and the strong, lasting relationships built along the way.

From start to finish, Royal Texan Homes LLC’s After-Care Program ensures that their relationship with homeowners continues long after the keys are handed over. This dedication and commitment to care and connection is the true foundation of their success.
