David Weekley Homes · Houston, Texas
What David Weekley Is
The customer-service story is real.
David Weekley Homes was founded in Houston in 1976 by David Weekley himself, and the company is still privately held and headquartered here. David Weekley has won J.D. Power awards for customer satisfaction more years than any other production builder and consistently scores at the top of third-party homebuyer surveys. In Greater Houston, David Weekley is active in roughly 7 master-planned communities, typically pricing one tier above Perry Homes with deeper standard finishes and more floor-plan flexibility through their CHOICE Plans program.
What David Weekley Is
Houston-headquartered move-up builder with award-winning customer service, the CHOICE Plans program for floor-plan flexibility (you can swap garage configurations, study locations, bedroom counts within a plan), and a deeper-than-standard finish package out of the box. Strong reputation for follow-through after move-in.
What David Weekley Isn’t
David Weekley isn’t an entry-level builder. Base prices typically run one tier above Perry Homes and Meritage in any given community. The CHOICE Plans flexibility is generous but bounded — it’s not true custom architecture. Design-center upgrade pricing is firm and on the higher side.
Who David Weekley Fits
Move-up buyers prioritizing customer service and finish quality at $450k-$700k, families who want some floor-plan flexibility without going custom, and relocating buyers who value the company’s reputation for warranty follow-through more than the lowest base price.
By the Numbers
David Weekley pricing, plain language.
David Weekley sits in the move-up tier across most Houston master-planned communities. Base prices typically run $450k-$700k, with the upper end in Bridgeland and Cross Creek Ranch estate sections. Add design-center spend and lot premium for the actual all-in number.
Typical Base-Price Range
$450s–$750s+

Floor Plan Library
50+ plans
Houston-area plans across 1,800 to 4,500+ sq ft. CHOICE Plans program lets you swap configurations within a plan.
Houston MPCs Active
7+ communities
Bridgeland, Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Sienna, Towne Lake, Aliana, Harvest Green and others.
Structural Warranty
10 years
Plus 5-year systems and 1-year workmanship. The 5-year systems window is notably longer than the industry-standard 2-year.
Two David Weekley specifics worth knowing. First, the CHOICE Plans flexibility doesn’t change the base price — structural swaps within a plan are included. That’s a real value if you actually use it. Second, David Weekley’s standard finish package runs richer than Perry’s at the same price point (better cabinetry, more standard lighting, often quartz vs granite as standard) — so the design-center add at David Weekley is typically lower than at Perry for an equivalent finish level.

Standard vs. Upgrade
The three things nobody warns David Weekley buyers about until the design center.
David Weekley’s standard package is genuinely deeper than most production builders — but the design center is still where the all-in number diverges from the base price. Three categories matter most.
What’s Standard
Standard package typically includes quartz kitchen counters (not granite), upgraded cabinet styles, deeper trim packages, energy-efficient HVAC, and a standard appliance package that’s a tier above Perry-equivalent. You start higher, which means the design-center add to reach ‘model home’ quality is smaller.
The Design Center Reality
David Weekley’s design center is a structured appointment with a designer who walks you through every selection. It’s a calmer experience than Perry’s — less time pressure — but the categories that matter for resale are the same. Keep the spend focused on kitchen, primary bath, and flooring. Bring your buyer’s agent.
The Lot Premium Math
Lot premiums at David Weekley communities track the community premium, not the builder. In Bridgeland, expect $15k-$60k for premium lots; in Sienna, $10k-$40k; in Cross Creek Ranch, $20k-$70k. Drainage and elevation diligence apply the same as any builder.
Why People Pick David Weekley
Customer service that actually follows through.
David Weekley’s pull is straightforward: deeper standard finishes than Perry or Meritage at one tier up in base price, CHOICE Plans flexibility for buyers who want some floor-plan customization without going true custom, and a customer-service reputation that holds up after move-in. The 5-year systems warranty (vs. industry-standard 2-year) is the most concrete signal of how seriously the company takes post-close follow-through. Most David Weekley buyers I work with cite warranty experience as the reason they chose Weekley over a lower-priced competitor.
On the buyer-agent side, the math works the same as any production builder. The on-site sales agent at any David Weekley model home represents Weekley, not you. I register as your buyer’s agent on day one before the on-site team claims the lead, negotiate incentive packages, rate buy-downs, and design-center allowances, and walk through the contract before signing. David Weekley pays my commission out of its marketing budget — it doesn’t come out of your purchase price.
David Weekley FAQ

Is David Weekley a good builder?

Power awards more times than any other production builder. The 5-year systems warranty (vs. industry-standard 2-year) is the strongest tangible signal of their follow-through commitment.
What’s the average price of a David Weekley home in Houston?
David Weekley base prices in Houston typically run $450k to $750k+ depending on the community and plan series. Most buyers land in the $500s-$650s on base price, then add $30k-$60k at the design center.
Which Houston master-planned communities have David Weekley Homes?
David Weekley is active in 7+ Houston master-planned communities including Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Cane Island, Cross Creek Ranch, Aliana, Harvest Green, and Sienna. They skew move-up communities and don’t typically build in entry-tier MPCs like Sunterra or Marvida.
What’s CHOICE Plans at David Weekley?
CHOICE Plans is David Weekley’s structural flexibility program. Within a given floor plan you can swap configurations — different garage layouts, study or fourth-bedroom locations, alternate primary bathroom configurations — without paying extra. It’s not full custom architecture, but it’s more flexibility than most production builders offer.
How long does David Weekley take to build a home in Houston?
A David Weekley dirt-start home typically takes 6-9 months from contract to close depending on the community and current build queue. Inventory homes (already started or completed) close in 30-90 days. Their build pace is consistent with Perry and slightly slower than DR Horton’s high-volume operation.
Does David Weekley negotiate price?
David Weekley rarely cuts base price. Negotiation happens on the incentive package — rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, and design-center allowance. The design-center allowance is the most negotiable line item, especially at quarter-end and phase-end. As your buyer’s agent I push on those at every milestone.
Do I need a REALTOR® to buy a David Weekley home?
Yes. The on-site sales agent represents David Weekley, not you. As your buyer’s agent I register before the on-site team claims the lead, negotiate incentives and design-center allowance, walk through CHOICE Plans options to identify which structural swaps make sense for resale, and review the contract before signing. David Weekley pays my commission out of its marketing budget — it doesn’t come out of your purchase price.
What’s David Weekley’s warranty?
David Weekley offers a tiered warranty: 10-year structural, 5-year systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), and 1-year workmanship. The 5-year systems window is notably longer than the industry-standard 2-year and is one of the strongest tangible signals of their commitment to post-close customer service. Read the actual warranty document for the precise coverage scope.
