How is Gallery Custom Homes related to First Texas Homes?

Gallery Custom Homes is the luxury architectural division of the locally owned First Texas Homes family of brands in Dallas–Fort Worth. Gallery combines the personal attention, architectural distinction, and elevated standard finishes of a custom homebuilder with the financial strength, purchasing power, and proven engineering of one of North Texas’s largest private builders.

What sets Gallery Custom Homes floor plans and architecture apart?

Gallery Custom Homes residences (typically spanning 3,000 to 5,500+ sq. ft. in premier DFW master-planned communities) are designed for grand-scale living and entertaining. Signature architectural details include dramatic two-story foyers, curved or dual staircases, soaring ceilings, expansive California kitchens with oversized islands and butler’s pantries, wine grottos, private first-floor guest or multi-generational suites, dedicated media and game rooms, and sprawling covered outdoor living areas.

Can I customize or make custom structural changes to a Gallery Custom Homes floor plan?

Yes! Semi-custom structural flexibility is a hallmark of Gallery Custom Homes. When building from the ground up, you can select from pre-engineered structural options—such as prep kitchens, extended outdoor living spaces with fireplaces, multi-car garages, and spa-inspired primary bath layouts—and collaborate with our in-house drafting team on custom “red-line” architectural modifications to tailor room dimensions and layout flow. Before construction begins, you review your blueprints line-by-line during your Pre-Construction “Red Line” Meeting.

What is the Design Studio experience like when building a Gallery Custom Home?

Every build-to-order Gallery Custom Home buyer enjoys a private consultation with a professional interior designer at our Design Studio. You will personalize every detail of your residence—from custom cabinetry profiles, exotic granite or quartz countertops, and statement backsplash tile to wide-plank hardwood flooring, designer lighting packages, luxury plumbing fixtures, and exterior brick and natural stone elevations.

Does Gallery Custom Homes offer Quick Move-In Homes for faster closing timelines?

Yes. While building a custom-tailored Gallery home from the ground up typically takes 100 to 180 working days from foundation pour, we also maintain a curated inventory of Move-In Ready and Under-Construction Quick Move-In Homes (available in the Quick Move-In tab above). Each showcase home features our most popular structural options and designer-curated luxury finishes.

What energy-efficient construction and SmartHouse technology come standard in a Gallery Custom Home?

Luxury and high performance go hand in hand. Every Gallery Custom Home incorporates our Energy Efficiency system—including radiant barrier roof decking, R-38 blown attic insulation, energy poly-sealant, Low-E dual-pane insulated windows, high-SEER2 zoned HVAC systems, tankless gas water heaters, and ENERGY STAR® stainless steel appliances—paired with our HomePro SmartHouse Technology package.

What engineering inspections and structural warranty protect my Gallery Custom Home?

Every Gallery Custom Home is built on an engineered post-tension concrete foundation tailored to North Texas soils and verified through municipal code inspections, independent third-party structural engineering inspections, and our private internal Quality Control team. Approximately 10–12 business days before closing, you walk your residence with a dedicated Quality Control Manager for a 2-hour Pre-Closing Home Orientation. Your investment is protected by the insurance-backed, 100% transferable StrucSure 1-2-10 Express Limited Warranty.

Are financing incentives, Design Studio upgrade allowances, and Special Heroes perks available?

Yes! When financing through our community-specific preferred lender partners (CrossCountry Mortgage, Integrity Home Mortgage Company, or Builder Mortgage Direct), Gallery Custom Homes buyers can access community promotional incentives, interest rate buydowns, closing cost contributions, and up to 50% off select Design Studio upgrades. We also honor military members, veterans, first responders, nurses, and educators through our Special Heroes Program.
