Our Story

We specialize in new beginnings.

Genesis began with a single home — the Powell family’s own. Building it convinced founder and owner Tim Powell that creating a home should be one of life’s most exciting experiences, and that every family deserves a builder who treats it that way.

Since 1997, Genesis has been the creative link between homeowner, builder, architect and interior designer across the Texas Hill Country. We’re still family-owned, and Tim still oversees every home personally — from the first sketch to the final walk-through.

Leadership

The people who build your home.

When you build with Genesis you work directly with our leadership team — the same people who answer your call, walk your lot and stand in your finished kitchen with you.

Tim Powell

Founder & Owner

Tim founded Genesis Custom Homes in 1997 after building his own family’s home. Nearly three decades later he is still on site, personally overseeing construction of every Genesis home and keeping progress follow-up in-house rather than handing it to subcontractors.

Preston Williams

General Manager

Preston leads day-to-day operations at Genesis Custom Homes, keeping schedules, selections and client communication moving smoothly so every homeowner knows exactly where their build stands.

Most Genesis homes fall between about $700,000 and $3 million. You’ll get transparent numbers during your consultation, before anything is signed.

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the home and the homesite. You’ll receive a clear schedule during your consultation — before you commit — and we keep you updated at every stage of construction.
